I Graduated High School In 99.

one thing about kaladin is that he loves a dramatic entrance. absolutely fucking loves it. his Herald ass is about to touch down on Roshar sooooo dramatically with Syl in circa 10 years after being presumed dead. levels of drama never before seen. The Duel put to shame. he's gonna be wearing his cape

anora (2024) thoughts

aaaahhh, sean baker let me kiss you on the mouth. this film had so much personality and humanity. it's both very loud and very quiet. you not only come to root for the protagonist, anora, but you feel so fucking bad for her by the end. and it's a really complicated cocktail of emotions. because she's framed as both triumphant, yet utterly defeated, and the movie doesn't let you sit comfortably with either position. it paints this young girl with such bold colors, yet also shows you the tragedy of having a bright spark, fighting hard to keep it alive, and being crushed by the world around you anyway

and still the film leaves you with a hopeful note that sometimes, someone does notice you. someone, a really unexpected person, will appreciate you. which is why igor/anora!!!! is so good. i love that he's such a soft oddball, but with a hint of menace. and the fact that he's the side character/goon you don't expect to have depths or connect with the plucky protagonist but he doooes, and they work so well. i love that in the end, in a sort of twisted bittersweet way, anora does get her fairytale. there are references to cinderella, and anora dreams of having her honeymoon at disney. but her "prince" turns out to be the guy with the henchman name, and that's so beautiful to me lol. (he even literally gives her a ring at the end!! they were insane for that)

and they really hit those lil romance notes, because he is always quietly looking out for her, quietly brooding in the background, being sad/upset on her behalf, impressed by the way she fights, amused but also disconcerted and worried!! gah. when he tells the family they should apologize to her. ROMANCE.

also this movie is really funny, like verging on farce a couple of times, and it shifts tone all the time, but always sticks the landing, so that the last scene still feels both sweet and devastating even after all the laughs. go watch it!!!

Tbh spyxfamily and vicious (v. e. schwab) are the exact same shit like you get the sexy malewife, the strong sensitive partner, the overly powerful kid that was rescued/adopted earlier in the story and the huge dog that becomes her emotional support
