five pennies in a trenchcoat

ooooh this is all very promising

my favorite con panel i've ever been to was about how japan keeps filming the total obliteration of tokyo as a way of coping with the trauma of hiroshima and nagasaki. godzilla serves as a literal nuclear weapon intermittently checking the hubris of humanity but we just want to give him a hug 🥺

he has evolved, i just want what's best for him 🥺

what? i was absolutely born in 2006 🫢

oh this is high, high satire done as straightfacedly as possible, absolutely brilliant

this direction is so interesting, all the bureaucracy shots are done with this extremely static camera in either large crowded rooms or in extreme close-ups of individual faces talking center frame, interspersed with classic OG gojira street mayhem that's totally detached from all the politics

look at her proving what a good actress she is by sounding genuinely enthusiastic about that hideous giant bulbous raincoat/inflatable life jacket thing

a giant monster is crawling down a street with its mouth open Alt: godzilla from Shin Godzilla (2016) is wriggling down a Tokyo street on his belly and back legs, his front legs being as yet undeveloped. His mouth is open and he has CGI button-eyes like the original gojira designs, and he looks like a giant cute animatronic baby lizard

omg gojira in shin godzilla looks like this, i'm a decade late to this party but i'm DELIGHTED

they did that at last year's Loewe show too! maybe it's a thing just with them.

Chen Du Ling was at the Loewe show? girl, get it 🏆

If any politician anywhere feels emboldened to argue that trans children are perfect, I think the importance of saying that out loud, in public, in front of other politicians who need to hear it, outweighs any handwringing that a politician is using the bible to justify something kind, for once.

awwwww Gigi it'll be okay!!! <3

i'm assuming they handed this phone to all the chinese celebs a fashion week so they may have been promoting it as a theme on their socials? it's an odd one

this would functionally destroy the internet

oh wait he's talking to Rocco there? No wonder he looks so trapped lol

Yibo having to make small talk is always the most relatable to me aha

i am loling at vogue european freelancers carting this prop phone around all over europe just to hand it to their celebs for a short video gag lol what a gig

woke up just in time to see the loewe stream and wisely chose not to watch it lol well done me, back to bed

yibo, magnifique, carry on

booooo

☺️ an apple a day keeps the KMT away

no when he was like "it's an inside thing" in ep one i was like SIR WHAT ARE YOU DOING IT WAS *ONE DAY TEN MONTHS AGO* 😂😭

same i actually shrieked

(also i must as a sondheim person doff my cap to you)

— and i would NEVER have assumed based on having lived through pop culture at the time that Edwards was our focal character!

hbo finally convinced me after multiple days worth of insistent nudging to try watching an episode of ER for the first time in my life and i'm already completely unprepared for Anthony Edwards getting first billing over Clooney, because i was alive for this—

yeah i was like DOLLOP CROSSOVER?

(ships and also summer-related trauma injuries)

a crowd of people sitting in a stadium with a banner that says ' a + t ' on it ALT: a crowd of people sitting in a stadium with a banner that says ' a + t ' on it

tonight's episode was just like this but w/ships instead of (tennis) balls lol

also "mel has only spent one day with you as a resident but she thinks you're so amazing she talks about you all the time"

i was just thinking that shawn hotosy must have been villain-grinning like the grinch as he directed those back to back [redacted/redacted] and [redacted/redacted] scenes 😅 just giving the people what they want while also making the people suffer, classic The Pitt lol

also i'm v glad my queer cred is carrying through haha
