this is so sexy

I wonder what happened to all the agent smith masks

I can actually answer this! So the latex/rubber they used, while standard for Hollywood at the time, reacted REALLY BADLY to being doused in pouring water nonstop for an entire day of shooting. They ended up corroding, which caused them to stink really badly and glob together at the seams. The original plan was to hand out masks to various crew members on the final day of shooting as souvenirs, but the sopping wet, melting, rotting rubber got so gross that by the end of that shooting day they’d already thrown most of them out. Somewhere in a landfill are hundreds of disgusting, bloated, slimey Hugo weaving heads fused together into a nightmarish rotting amalgam :)

it’s what he would have wanted

Richard Gadd writing imperfect survivors is so important to me. No one ever wants to think of survivors as fucked up in a way that isn't palatable or think of what happens if you don't have the resources to recover gracefully- they see it as a type of disrespect I think. I like a show that gives you a horrifying introspection to that. Trauma is something that will rot inside of you if you don't figure your shit out but a lot of people don't have the circumstances that allow them to do that. Or they don't have the language to even realize its happening. And like, people need to be aware of that. You think it can't happen to you but it can!! And the fact that half man specifically is all about the love can't be over looked. Like yeah, those are guys who could have been good if the situation was different but it wasn't. And love never made anyone more rational. And a lot of victims love their abusers. A lot of abusers love their victims. And it doesn't make it okay, but like again. You think it can't happen to you. But it can.

be careful with what series you watch/read during emotional points in your life because they will forever contain a ghost of your past self within it now

if you're having trouble sleeping the best you can do is put a bright object close to your face and look at it for at least 30 minutes. if that doesn't work you can close your eyes but make sure to think really hard about a bunch of bullshit
