@ZephonSacriel @memilies The World's Desire is more fun. That's his sequel to The Odyssey where Odysseus journeys to Egypt during the time of the biblical plagues and battles/is seduced by a Ayesha-like sorceress

@emmatranter_ @memilies In The Vampire Lestat book one of the first things he tells you is about learning modern English by reading Rider Haggard novels.

@memilies *Everything* she writes about Egypt and the Ancient World is indebted to HRH

@Srirachachau There's a lot more Minions in Hundreds of Beavers than a lot of people who love that movie would like to admit.

[Maria H @ThisMariaHutch]

@bdcollins_1995 @JillianChili I feel like the Minions would quite like to serve the Tall Man

@FranticSister @ranmasaotome96 Mixed with cosy British dramas

@fujandrist Communion (1989)

That looksmaxxer guy looks like Brian Slade at the end of Velvet Goldmine after he's butched himself up to be hack fashy Liberace

Marcia Lucas was obviously a vital part of Star Wars, but she also just had an unbelievable run of films as an editor. What a career. Rest in Peace.

[Maria H @ThisMariaHutch]

@BronYrAurHouse @ranmasaotome96 Yes, and there's not a single action beat in LAH that comes close to anything from Total Recall and True Lies the two very self aware Arnie comedy/actioners that came out prior.

@ellagoer_t4t MTF detransitioners are also more likely to be tied up with the pray-the-gay-away-scene which doesn't play as well on social media these days

@Brocklesnitch The Viewing from Cabinet of Curiosities, Climax, Ken Russell's Gothic,

[Maria H @ThisMariaHutch]

@Ranting_Trans Oliver Stones's Nixon with Anthony "looks and fails to vibe like anything like Richard Nixon" Hopkins as Nixon.

[Maria H @ThisMariaHutch]

@CrypticTano @AndrewJ626 Because it went straight to streaming in America. In the English language territories where they put it in theatres it was the better performer.

@Srirachachau @staticbluebat They do get a lot of mileage out of their African villa set and how much of it gets smashed up. And then someone is riding a motorcycle through it!

[Maria H @ThisMariaHutch]

@Srirachachau @staticbluebat There's some really solid action beats in the "lions might seem scary" chase stuff in the middle that just keeps going and going and going and Jan Du Bont shoots the hell out of it.

[Maria H @ThisMariaHutch]

@Srirachachau It is all chases though because all they can get the mostly undertrained lions to do is chase and pounce on things.

[Maria H @ThisMariaHutch]

@hangsawoman I hope the keep the Time Travel stuff. One of the more fun details of that story is how it suggests the economic policies of the Nixon administration creates its hell future

[Maria H @ThisMariaHutch]

@datadriven_tdoc OK, but what does HTST exist to describe then, because that conception can by used to handwave it away entirely
