my hottest take
Counter point, those machines can make me a peach sprite.
guys did you know the tech in that nefangled machine revolutionized preemie healthcare
yeah the guy who invented them made incredibly precise infusion pumps (as opposed to gravity fed ivs) which not only meant they could give medications to teeny tiny babies safely, it's also used for insulin pumps and portable dialysis machines. the key element is that it's a peristaltic pump so the liquid stays in sterile tubing for safety
(unholy drink cloaca uses it to dispense precise amounts of flavored sugar syrup)
Then how the haters loved him,
As they shouted out with glee,
"Unholy Drink Cloaca
You'll go down in history!"
You DON'T get this on any other site in quite this format.

Nolan soon decided the most ambitious thing he could do was: adapt Homer’s Odyssey. “When I revisited the poem, I realized that it’s all payoffs, but it doesn’t have the setups,” he said. Think of Argos, Odysseus’s loyal dog, who recognizes his master when he returns, even when no one else does—something Homer doesn’t bother to foreshadow. All the things movies naturally do—teasing the thing in the first act that happens in the third; hinting at something before it happens—aren’t present in the poem because ancient audiences knew the setups and Homer didn’t include them. “What I realized is, Oh, okay, to make a screenplay for this, it’s all about setting those things up, being true to those because the payoffs are incredible. But it’s now my responsibility to, within the form of the structure of the poem, try and set these things in motion so that the audience, an audience who’s not as familiar with the poem and the mythology of the poem as Homer’s audience, would be ready for these things. And that cracked it open for me.”
(x) genuinely and from the bottom of my heart: what the fuck is christopher nolan on about? i wish a single other example had been given besides the dog thing because when i think of the big payoffs in the odyssey, they are, in chronological order: the reunion with telemachus; the slaughter of the suitors; the reunion with penelope. (i suppose the reunion with laertes counts too although book 24 is so anticlimactic it doesn't quite feel in the same tier as the others.) these things... could not possibly be more set up. they are the focus of first four books of the poem!!! what needs to be done to make an audience ready for them that is not accomplished by a fairly straightforward adaptation of, again, literally the literal beginning of the poem? like the text of the poem opens on "suitors bad; wife and son sad; king gone" and closes on "suitors dead; wife and son happy; king home [until... i mean whatever. i would never fault a screenwriter for omitting 24 lmao]." what do you MEAN there is no foreshadowing in the odyssey there is a literal bird prophecy hinting at the climax of the story in book 2!! (prophecy and omens also come up like 1 million other times on odysseus's way home? like people are literally ALWAYS hinting at things that have not happened yet...) like, HUH? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT CHRISTOPHER. CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME HOW YOU ARE DEFINING SET-UPS AND PAY-OFFS BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Dracula characters and the genres they're in:
Jonathan: Survival horror
Mina: Detective mystery
Lucy: Coming of age/Romantic tragedy
Arthur: Romantic tragedy turned horror
Quincey: Action adventure with romance
Jack: Medical drama turned thriller
Van Helsing: Supernatural mystery
Renfield: Greek myth/tragedy
Dracula: Autobiography in progress
I want to hear more about Necromancer Quincey!
Necromancer Quincey is Having A Time
He's constantly beset by the ghosts of confused/terrified/angry soldiers from both sides, clamering for a second chance to live, to escape the war, to get Vengeance on those who put them in these trenches
He's accidentally bound his dead lover's soul to him so Scott can't move on until Quincey is ready to let him go
And he's probably eaten a few people rats to survive at this point

Noticing a pattern with Jack Seward.
He observes Jonathan's hands a lot
"whilst [Jonathan's] face of white set passion worked convulsively over [Mina's] bowed head, the hands tenderly and lovingly stroked the ruffled hair."
"his hands are cold as ice, and an hour ago I found him whetting the edge of the great Ghoorka knife"
"It will be a bad lookout for the Count if the edge of that “Kukri” ever touches his throat, driven by that stern, ice-cold hand!"
"but at the same time his action belied his words, for his hands instinctively sought the hilt of the great Kukri knife and rested there."
"Quincey raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her intently, whilst Harker's hand instinctively closed round the hilt of his Kukri."
Once with how tenderly he's stroking Mina's hair, the rest with how much he's sharpening/touching his knife with his icy hand.
Alternatively, Jonathan speaks with his hands a lot when he's silent. And they are either around his wife or around the hilt of his knife.
