#reshoots

Timothée Chalamet filming scenes on a motorcycle for "A Complete Unknown" in Los Angeles.

First of all, yes I also don’t think the wig is doing the continuity any favors, but the content is really more what I care about so I’m just gonna dive into that.

Personally, I think these reshoots were to give Colin a more defined character arc, seeing him with other women creates a contrast with how he is with Penelope, and effectively visualizes how the closer he is to his own sensitivity and true desires, the less interested he is in meaningless intimacy

I get that some fans think seeing Colin with other women is “icky” but please try to have a critical bone in your body and realize that they are not just for shock value and they narratively serve a purpose, mainly that of creating a sense of seeking and lack of fulfillment for his character to serve as contrast for his eventual reconnecting with his characteristic vulnerability.

The first brothel scene is to establish his “new personality” as a confident, needless, cavalier world traveller. Due to the hurt his innate soft-heartedness and romantic ideals of past seasons have caused, and likely the lack of his familial support (and Penelope’s) via letters, he decided to close himself off completely, which includes sex with women he has no emotional connection to.

I think it’s interesting they decided to include two women in the brothel scenes, narratively this could be Colin trying to avoid getting attached to one woman, so maybe he specifically requests more than one partner. NOT unlike another Bridgerton sibling we know who desperately doesn’t want to get attached (Benedict cough cough) he’s pushing himself into this lack of connection as a way to turn off the sensitivity, and therefore dampening the pain that comes with needs and wants.

This is especially evident in the second brothel scene, when to distract himself from the pain of wanting Penelope but not being able to confess his feelings, he returns to what he’s familiar with, but he soon realizes that meaningless sex doesn’t offer much when one is in love with someone else.

We see in the second brothel scene shots where he is kissing the women and there’s a seeking expression on his face, he’s trying desperately to find that same feeling with them, but it’s not about the physical action, it’s about the person, and the person he wants is Penelope. When he realizes it’s not working, he stops engaging with them physically and agrees to sit and watch, but he looks away, barely able to look at them anymore, clearly shaken by how this experience pales in comparison to a simple kiss with someone he cares about.

Him realizing this leads to his discussion with the toxic lord squad, he’s become disgusted by the emptiness of their interactions and can’t help but voice these feelings. They react negatively to his vulnerability, and he is plunged into pure wallow town.

Based on how Marvel Studios makes movies, it’s still not too late to schedule reshoots for “Fantastic Four First Steps”.

We already know that there is going to be filming at Midhope Castle aka Lallybroch this week 👇 Dave is Sam's driver but he also is the driver for other Outlander cast.

And then a few days ago, the Dutch extra from The Couple Next Door messaged me again to let me know extras were sought for reshoots in the Netherlands, also this week. 👇

Soooo, where will Sam end up? Scotland for Outlander or the Netherlands for The Couple Next Door? Or neither, and he'll pop up on vacation on a tropical island somewhere? 🤔

Beefier and more poignant!

I am definitely not ready !
