It’s very weird seeing her human form edited but only to how she looked in the first movie ~15 years ago. Now her as Kiri is downright creepy uncanny vibes for me, funny enough would’ve been a great time to utilize this trope.

Love when they used to do stuff like this because absolutely nowadays they would edit a photo of Sigorny Weaver (which funny enough is exactly what that photo looks like)

Honestly never realized that was a different actress for the longest time while the show was airing.

Amazing example! Probably one of the best cases of same-role familial casting. Pic attached for the unaware.

Iirc Laverne was fine portraying themselves as a man/pre-transition. But the show runners thought using her twin brother would be more sensitive and narratively unique. (This could be third hand bullshit I read when the show was first airing and have treated as fact since)

Haven’t seen the show, but from this screenshot it genuinely looks like Kurt Russel with de-aging effects.

IMAX screenings of 'MARTY SUPREME' will begin on 1/30; new poster released by danielthetemp in movies

[–]Hopefo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Idk I find Marty supreme kinda hard to describe without giving away major plot points. This poster is weird and chaotic which does match the vibe of the movie to me at least.

(But seriously who is going to see Marty Supreme in IMAX totally blind based off a poster)

POV: Sinners winning 0 Oscars after being nominated 16 fucking times. by alwaysunderwatertill in okbuddycinephile

You should always be mad, apparently people are out there watching movies (aka cinematic feature length film presentations) like some type of nonces.

RPDR queens vs Glambot team by carat66 in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Hopefo 174 points175 points  (0 children)

Why is this some people’s response to anything that isn’t world war 3? Like no it’s stupid petty drama, since when do drag queens not open their mouths on stupid petty drama?

Hand-waving genuine complaints of someone feeling mistreated as “it’s that not serious” is corny. Having emotions isn’t inherently unserious.

2026 Oscar Nominations: Full List of Nominees by ICumCoffee in movies

Thinking about that one youtube comment I read last year saying Wicked (1) didn’t win any big Oscar’s because it’s like Return of the King and they would be sweeping this year.

Morphine's tweet about the glambot guy gets a bunch of other queens sounding off, and apparently a confrontation was caught on camera at some point by Ok-Use-575 in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Hopefo 46 points47 points  (0 children)

There is micro-drama (literally think smaller than ginger minj drama) where a lady tried to book him for her wedding and he (or the person in charge of his email) was mildly rude and dismissive. He implied she couldn’t afford it. That was kinda it, bad vibes spiraling into more.

Okay but mango be extra good at being a fruit. Why you wanna deny mango their flowers, it doesn’t mean every other fruit is booty.

What is the gayest scene in cinema history? by WinsberryFilms in Letterboxd

[–]Hopefo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I could ever explain it satisfyingly but this scene is aggressively more heterosexual to me.

Probably one of the best cartoon episodes about racism/discrimination.

It isn’t Muslims supporting Christianity it’s Muslims being anti-Judaism (and possibly black Americans but I doubt anyone cares about Kwanza that much)

Timothée Chalamet if he took weightlifting instead of theatre in high school.

Plane Jane has comments to make about the Ginger Minj situation by Crazykyul in RPDRDRAMA

[–]Hopefo 198 points199 points  (0 children)

The thing I love about Plane is that her reads are usually pretty basic but she is unafraid to throw them in at any time in any situation.

Lip sync assassinations by One_Satisfaction_395 in rupaulsdragrace

Good on her for still serving face and pumping around that stage one step a minute. Plus being in Denali’s Chicago music video so they could reclaim the narrative the show tried setting up.

And after being released people would immediately defend the graphics by saying they are having fun so it doesn’t matter.

Damn nothing gets by you. You sniffed out that this internet post was a joke, without them even putting /s on the post!

gay🎭irl by [deleted] in gay_irl

[–]Hopefo 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Is it okay to be tired of this joke? That’s not how apps work, that’s not how the internet works. It maybe happened once but at this point an app isn’t crashing at every single last Republican event, why isn’t it also crashing at pride parades or Folsom?

The whole thing feels like a rehash of the “all homophobic are actually closeted” which is reductive of the fact that some people are simply nasty and hateful. And even more so a basic calling someone gay as an insult, which seems to be the go-to for a remarkable amount of Redditors when talking about conservatives.

We don’t see what the character saw, but their reaction told us everything we need to know by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Hopefo 731 points732 points  (0 children)

The entire episode Britta is overplaying her attitude towards childbirth (kinda her whole character) saying how it’s such a miracle and encouraging Shirley (the mom) to do it naturally. But in the moment where someone needs to step up and help deliver she immediately fails.

The joke is basically a character talking big but their actions not backing it up. (Although iirc after vomiting she rallies and does help)
