Sleepy Gaang >>>> Everyone Else

what do you mean lin manuel miranda dropped a hamilton nightcore album today i dont see anyone talking about this. Are you guys aware

So I've decided to watch The X-Files for the very first time after doomscrolling on Pinterest and being Intruiged.

I know this much about the show from the Internet:

- Very Important show in the sci-fi genre and cultural zeitgeist

- the MulderxScully ship invented the concept of shipping

- it's about aliens?

- the title sequence music gets used in all the meme videos

- Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny hate each other, except maybe they don't, it's really fucking complicated

Also I've decided to document this journey on Tumblr bc why not?

Funniest x files moment is the jersey devil episode when scully goes on a date and it doesn't go well and she has a character development moment about weighing how much she wants a normal life and relationship vs being dedicated to her career and the x files. And then it cuts to mulder looking intently at a drawing of a bigfoot with boobs

Spooky Mulder? More like Pookie Mulder AMIRIGHT???

All these bows have the same problem*

*puts hands on hollywood exec's shoulders, staring unblinking into their eyes* listen to me. you will never get people who hate musicals to like musicals by making your musical less of a musical. if you hide the fact that your film is a musical in the advertising, you're going to get a lot of low ratings from people who hate musicals and went into your movie not expecting a musical and got one anyway. people who hate musicals will hate them no matter how realistic and diegetic and lowkey you try to make it. they will hate musicals even if you completely excise anything complicated, over the top, silly, or even slightly challenging. they will hate musicals even if you cut half the songs. they will hate musicals even if you cast that a-lister who can't sing worth a damn. stop trying to market to people who hate musicals. they're a lost cause. your audience should be people who love musicals. this half-assed middle ground pisses off both camps. just embrace the fact that your movie is a musical. lean into it. don't try and trick musical haters into coming to your film when you could be marketing to the theater kids. better cringe than a coward.

Every day I think of that one "blooper" from fight the future where Scully and Mulder aren't interrupted at the bee scene, but it's pretty much just Gillian and David making out

I started watching the x files on this day 2 years ago, so here's some experiments with style/composition to celebrate it I guess. some details are under the cut

she took his hand in hers and put it under her cheek :((((((
