I miss the genre of movie where literally anything can happen and there’s no questioning it. there’s no judgment. like. a bunch of kids explore a booby trap rigged cave system & find a pirate ship with treasure while an italian crime family tries to kill them. some guys start a ghost fighting agency and then blow up a giant stay puff marshmallow man. david bowie is a goblin king and there’s wonky puppets and a labyrinth. a child commits war crimes against two burglars on christmas. a dad pretends to be a nanny to hang out with his kids. jim carrey in eighty pounds of green make up and fur terrorizes a town. like seriously. bring back absolutely hog wild bonkers ass movies. shits getting boring

The “why do they like the Jesus statue, but not me, even though we’re both made of wood” scene in GDT’s Pinocchio is great because on the one hand, excellent criticism of the hypocrisy often running rampant in religious communities, but on the other hand, well, you see, Pinocchio, that one doesn’t move and talk.

Del Toro/Mchale adapting Pleasure Island as a Fascist Youth Camp where the boys are forced to train and play war games, turning them from innocent boys into mindless soldiers (jackasses, if you will) is a masterstroke- I think seeing the kids and Pinocchio run around with fake guns and grenades, knowing that something bad was going to happen to those kids was more stress inducing than the original scene in the 1940 version.

I think that for every episode of bake off that has a foreign country as a theme there should be a special third judge that is just a grandma of that nationality and they should be equipped with an air horn they can toot in paul hollywood’s smug face whenever he confidently says something completely incorrect about a bake’s construction, flavour, texture, etc etc

Western history loves to brag about their geniuses, philosophers, thinkers, and innovators throughout history but as far as I know, nobody talks about geniuses in non western history. Why can’t an Aztec community have their neighborhood Einstein who loved to study engineering and physics and helped build an efficient-running town?

Reblog is you're uncomfortable with how eurocentric our understanding of history is.

li don’t really care about Harry Styles but i think it’d be really funny if he started balding like. in the next 3 weeks.
