I'm Using Up 3 Of My Movie Choices To Give A Crash Course Of M*A*S*H To My Boyfriend So I Don't Have

I know the vote is far from over but I'm not seeing any hope with this one. I know I'm partly responsible because I voted for Mifune as well, but if I had known what the percentage looked like before hand...

There will be sad days to come for James Stewart enthusiasts. 😔

Propaganda

James Stewart (It's a Wonderful Life, The Philadelphia Story, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington)—the thing about Jimmy Stewart is that for a weird-enough looking guy, he is yet somehow SO hot and SO believable, ALWAYS. He always plays the same person—he's always, well, Jimmy Stewart—yet that person can be a murderer, a dark cynic, a naive idealist, the boy next door or an old man who knows better, and every one of those is hot. I would jump his bones in a heartbeat

Toshiro Mifune (Rashumon, Seven Samurai, Grand Prix, Stray Dog)—i love and respect my boi tab hunter (rest in peace you beautiful, beautiful man ❤️), but after i watched like 12 of his movies in a row on tcm last year, i ALSO love and respect toshiro mifune, son of a literal actual hatamoto’s (a high-ranking samurai) daughter, also very possibly related to the best judokan EVER, AND, he’s the guy who SHOULD have been obi-wan kenobi. the fact that he’s ALSO hot as hell just adds to his appeal.

This is round 4 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

James Stewart propaganda:

"Ough I saw him first in It's A Wonderful Life, where he is very charming as a suicidal family man being absolutely crushed by capitalism. But then. The Philadelphia Story, in my opinion, should get the same kind of press The Mummy does for being a bisexual dream. Now I'm not really bi (not into women) and it's honestly up for debate whether i'm attracted to men or not, but COME ON!! The movie stars James Stewart as well as Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn (and Ruth Hussey). Stewart plays a common working man, a journalist, to contrast with Grant's character, who is mega-rich. He is scrappy and hates rich people. Hot! They have a whole scene together where he's super drunk and being really physical with his acting, which I love because he is kinda wet noodle shaped. Hot! He carries Hepburn in his arms while singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Hot! He gets punched in the face by Cary Grant. Hot!!! In The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, we get to see him portray an alternative type of masculinity, opposite John Wayne doing John Wayne. He is even more wet noodle-y, to put emphasis on his incompatibility with the rugged masculinity of the cow-boy, he wears an apron for a lot of the film, again, to blur his masculinity, and he gets shot. Hot! Also he's older here, if that's your thing. Long story short: He's giving librarian chic and The Philadelphia Story made me want to be poly."

“Here he is next to Grant, in what I believe to be a promotional shot for The Philadelphia Story. Please don’t get distracted by Grant (or do, i’m submitting him next).”

“He’s a nice guy and a good guy and deserves all the happiness and joy ever! Classic boy next door/class president kid that everyone loves for real. Stand-up for the Little Guy vibes. With a charming fun side!!”

Toshiro Mifune propaganda:

"In addition, he spoke fluent mandarin and every time he was casted in foreign films, he said his lines in the language of the movie (although they ended up dubbing him. He wasn’t happy about it though).”

Submitted: this gifset

Also submitted: this video (yes, that one)

"Crucial Toshiro Mifune propaganda: THOSE LEGS."

"That is hella muscle. Go watch The Hidden Fortress, aka Star Wars A New Hope. His thighs deserve an award."

This is how we cope if it really happens.

Hey guys? You know that image of Rama and Larry holding each other in a bright area? You know, the one we haven't seen yet in the show? You know how Negative Spirit 1 just told Larry he was going to be a sun? Do you remember that both Larry and Rama are destabilizing and are going to blow up? Do you guys know how sun's are made? You don't think for the series finally they would... do you?

Securing the perimeter for the last time this year <3

I look forward to securing the perimeter again with you all in 2024

Trying to make this man into a plushie. It’s not going great lol. Here’s a picture of him for reference:

I’m making him a little jacket/overshirt thing tomorrow.

Right. And his tail. (He’s already having a hard time)

So sorry to keep going on about Doctor Who but I find it really interesting in the revival era (2005 onward) that it's always hammered home that the Doctor is the last of the Timelords. But it's almost never talked about that they are NOT the last of the Gallifreyan's.

Because we know that timelords are the high society dudes that went to college and are granted regenerations and all that. And yeah, when the Doc ended the Time War they destroyed all of Gallifrey, including all the regular people.

However, we seem to have forgotten the Sisterhood of Karn chilling on another planet.

They're basically the Gallifreyan equivalent to nuns and they protect the Sacred Flame and all that, but they're still around. The 12th Doctor even went to them looking for help during "The Magician's Apprentice", and they reappeared later that season in "Hell Bent."

So what I'm saying is even though Gallifrey was destroyed for the billionth time, we could have seen 13 go and hang out during the "Timeless Child" arc to try and recenter herself. Maybe 15 can go since he's so much more in tune with his past than previous incarnation.

I finally watched those last two episodes. The series started off strong and ended by using that strength to rip the heart from my chest.

"I hope these last two episodes are good, 'cause I am loving this season. Everything about it is so perfect." I stand by this 100%. it was beautiful, and I'm sure I'll write a huge thing about it later.

10/10 would cry again.

Patrick Troughton (Jason and the Argonauts)—He's really good as a man beknighted by harpies whose immediate first reaction to being beknighted by harpies is to stuff as much bread down his shirt as possible. I won't mention his other roles (though im thinking about them. hard) and i just want to say everything about him is just a little guy, a tiny little little man, a man here for hopes and dreams and frivolity (but dont fuckin cross him you will get yoinked!!!!)

Giulietta Masina (La Strada, Fortunella, Nights of Cabiria)—To me, she is the DEFINITION of scrungly little guy, always, but especially in La Strada. She is hilarious, adorable and heartbreaking all in one. She was born in a wet cardboard box all alone. She is the slapstick clown woman of my dreams. She gets called an "ugly artichoke" TWICE in that film (not true, very brutal, but quite funny - she's the wife of the director too, might I add). Her face is so brilliant, no one ever emoted like she did. She is Pierrot Hot, simple as. Gif of the exact moment I fell in love with her upon first seeing this film, if you wanna include it: [link]

This is round 2 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you're confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here. Reminder that this is a movie bracket, not a TV bracket, so no TV-related propaganda will be accepted.

[additional submitted propaganda + scrungly videos under the cut]

Giulietta:

She's Italian, isn't that enough? No? Fine. She also won two Cannes film awards and is best known for her character in La Strada, in which she played a young woman who fell in love with her captor and witnessed the cruelty of humanity, but still never really lost her child-like spirit.

Masina has a wonderful impish, scrungly quality to her that made her perfect for her iconic Sad Clown type roles. She got tons of comparisons to Chaplin (who despite being handsome, certainly *played* scrungles) and goddamn if they aren’t true. Like yes, she’s obviously beautiful when glammed up, but even in promotional photos, Masina always has this weirdo quality to her. I could see her playing a strange little goblin sidekick to Columbo as he solves a murder in Italy. Even in Nights of Cabiria, where she’s ostensibly playing an object of desire, Masina carries herself with a gait usually reserved for old crones and character actors, (which only makes her yearning for happiness more tragic!).

Patrick:

Doug: I think we're going to have to kill this guy, Shadow.

Shadow:

I should finish this.

Branagh is making another Poirot movie? Why? Why does he have the sentient mustache back? Didn't he shave it in the last movie?

When will this madness end?!?!

(Suchet better make a cameo I swear)

Y'all...

The new set of audiobooks for Discworld just dropped, including Richard Coyle's narration for Going Postal, Making Money, and Raising Steam.

Can you guess what I'm doing right now?
