If Jack Black doesn’t get an Oscar nom for this, it is proof that sf/action movies are being discriminated against, because he was FLAWLESS as a teenage girl, absolutely invisible behind his character, and that deserves massive recognition of his awesomeness.
(I also appreciate the writing which had both girls calling each other out on perceived issues, and both girls acknowledging the fairness of those call-outs and subsequently valuing each other as equals and becoming buds. No girl-fights here, thank you.)
This movie was far more amazing than it should have been, and I’m pretty sure that was at least 90% because the cast was so fantastic.
Not once in the entire film did I forget Jack Black was a teenage girl. It was one of the most brilliant performances I have ever seen and I still can’t believe I’m saying that about Jack Black in Jumanji II.
Is it tropey as hell? Yes.
Do they subvert some of the tropes some of the time? Heck yes.
Did they know they were going to be tropey as hell and made it the best possible versions of the tropes when they weren’t subverting them? Hell fucking yes.
Incidentally: if you enjoyed Jumangi, you will also enjoy Baywatch. They’re a similar vein of humour, with a similar approach to trope.
Hm…I was going to see this for comedic value and perhaps misplaced nostalgia if I got bored one day, but maybe I’ll see it sooner than that.
It was a fun 90minute romp, and I will say that I enjoyed the characterization and narrative decisions.
I don’t know about Oscars, but I paid $15+concessions and didn’t feel as though I’d been hosed, so!
look i know this is a bit niche, but I would die for the human who wrote this pattern description. maybe you won’t feel the same if you haven’t spent hours and hours reading knitting pattern blurbs by the designer or the designers hype person.
listen, this niche is made for me and i am buying this pattern sometime this winter to make myself one!!! thanks for sharing, i am in love
the pattern is called the rangers cowl by Michael Vloedman, the image is a link, but i guess that doesn’t carry through on reblogs?? here’s the url – ravelry.com/patterns/library/ranger-cowl
So sorry abt that folks, i really didn’t think anyone would notice this post at all.
And some of us are over here like “6 fucking skeins of madelinetosh??? Are you shitting me mate?”
I know right??? That’s a $7 pattern and like $140 of yarn.
Or you could always make it with less expensive yarn, but where’s the fun in that.
William Smith, 28, from Aurora, Illinois was discovered in the early
hours of Tuesday morning, decapitated and slumped against the front door
of the judge who had granted him bail in August.
Smith was arrested last month following allegations by his then girlfriend that he had raped her 8-year-old daughter.
After a police investigation in which Smith was found in possession
of child pornography, he was arrested on two counts related to child
pornography and one count of child molestation.
After being charged, Smith walked free from the court after the judge
controversially ruled that he did not pose a threat to the local
community, and he raised the $30,000 bail required to trigger his
freedom.
The alleged victim’s family said they were “shocked” that Smith had been allowed to walk free from court.
Welp, that is certainly one way of making sure he’ll never hurt another child.
Not to be that dick, but some people in the fandom really are in denial about what Lucio has done. I keep seeing people claim we ‘don’t know that he’s evil, it’s all just rumours’ and I’m like… what? Let Lucio be evil, don’t turn him into a weepy ‘I had no choice’ villain please.
He has enslaved people.
He has blackmailed a village.
He has ripped people’s hearts out.
He did neglect his people and let them starve, let their districts flood.
He did kill his father.
He did try to kill his mother.
And those are just a few that are mentioned or shown, that I remember right now. If I go through the whole story again I’m sure I’ll find more.
Clearly I’m not saying you can’t like Lucio – hell I do – but don’t pretend like he’s some misunderstood wounded man who only looks evil because of lies.
The best argument you could make is saying he’s not malicious but rather indifferent, and that is still evil.
im dying i couldnt understand what the fuck happened cus i thought this was about happy dj frog man
Same I was like “What the fuck lore update did I MISS?”
