STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH (2005) + letterboxd reviews

(in/sp)

I read Of MSE-6 and Men a few days ago. I had to know if the infamous short story about Grand Moff Tarkin being gay with none other than TK-421 was real and whether or not it was canon. I walked away with the answer to only one of those questions. I'm absolutely reeling. It started out so silly, and then I was presented with such horrible information that's haunted me for the past week. The knowledge that it's not not canon that Wilhuff Tarkin is apparently a top. I'm not sure I needed to know that about this man in particular. But I do and it's cost me much more than the £3.99 I paid for the reading experience.

t-shirt that says ‘I LOVE BEING ALONE IN QUIET DARK PLACES.’ on the front and ‘I AM NOT A FUNGUS.’ on the back.

darling, will you saturate?

nono no you get it you Get It ! same band different fonts ! (particularly starsets love songs) where starset has the incomprehensible beauty and scale of space, sleep token have the incomprehensible beauty i assume one might find in religion, or a similar level of devotion. Like they are so small and the emotions are so big, you have to draw comparisons to astral bodies and dieties to properly convey it, and the loneliness that comes with it. A sort of reverence and devotion for something out of your reach.

I think thematically they have similarities, aesthetically they clash a little, but it could most certainly still slap.

hear me out, but i think a collab between sleep token and starset would absolutely fuckin SLAP

they have similar lyric styles (in my opinion), both of them are almost poetic in nature, and they both have that lovely touch of devotion, longing, self-loathing, and anger throughout their songs

i dunno, just a totally random thought i had but i think it would be such a cool idea!! plus, both sleep token and starset deserve so much more attention 😭

I am making my own minecraft movie

ok so i'm not actually making a movie. what i am doing is analysing minecraft and thinking about why i didn't like The minecraft movie, and what i was actually wanting out of a minecraft movie. and then like. writing an overview or something. a lot of my thoughts heavily reference the End Poem, and some things i've seen echoed around the community in the past decade or so in terms of minecraft lore.

if you have any thoughts please tell me. please please please. i wrote i think a whole essay on the worldbuilding and storytelling of minecraft in college i am rather passionate about it.

things i am thinking about so far:

-having the movie progression loosely follow the progression of updates 1.0-current. not Every feature has to be included, but just like, no seeing like, cornflowers in the beginning of the movie. i wanna start in that barren 1.0 wasteland of an overworld baybe.

-according to the update timeline as of 2025, we'd meet alex about midway through the movie. unsure of my thoughts on this, but it follows previous logic.

-we only see ONE pink sheep the whole movie. are those fuckers rare or what?

-no new characters that aren't in the game.

-the entire soundtrack is by C418 and Lena Raine. Definitely including some in game songs, but some new ones thrown in as well.

-the player is the freak, not the villagers. i personally am not a fan of the "there was a nuclear disaster that fucked up minecraft, and made the mobs and the villagers Like That." i've seen throughout minecraft fan theories over the years. I think that's too specific, too un-minecraft-y, and also. not a fan of the insinuations with the villagers. minecraft has no lore. at best it has soft worldbuilding- think studio ghibli. we don't really know why things are precisely the way they are, we just know they are, and we know a few rules. we know minecraft started out barren, and as the updates came and went (to be interpreted as either time passing, the player exploring further, or both), more and more life was seen in the world, more things were discovered, more things were fought, made, destroyed, learned. according to the End Poem, minecraft is a dream that the player enters. one could interpret that as us being an outsider- it would explain why no one else looks like us, plays like us. we are alone. minecraft is a lonely place. you see it when you compare yourself to the villagers, you hear it in the soundtrack. you are alone.

-get julian gough back to write a second short poem for the end of the movie, but this time pay him one billion dollars. by the end of the game, we'd achieved a high enough level to read the universe's thoughts, i think this time after the movie, and also after furthering ourselves in the long dream of life, we should have levelled up enough to hear the universe's thoughts ("Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes." | this having audio also makes it more fitting for a movie).

I don't. actually know what the plot would be. obviously it needs to be minecraft-y, but it can't simply be the base game progression, can it? would that be too simple? i wouldn't want to rely entirely on nostalgia, it has to be an enjoyable movie regardless of it's association to minecraft.

nothing bad ever happened to them

Have a sad anakin /suitless Vader.

a friend asked me to make a print out of this xD Never did any prints before.
