Ok so was anyone going to tell me Cate Blanchett’ role in Pinocchio (2022- Guillermo del Toro) was to voice

THE MONKEY SPAZZATURA???

janedoeremi:

Everyone needs to watch Guillermo Del Toros’s Pinocchio right now its so fucking good. Its leagues above Disneys shitty live action movie

Reasons to watch Del Toro’s Pinocchio

1. Its stop motion
2. The stop motion was done by people who worked on The Adventures of Mark Twain
3. Its Guillermo Del Toro’s passion project that he’s been trying to have made for over a decade
4. It was co-written by Patrick Mchale who made Over The Garden Wall
5. The designs of not just Pinocchio but the Blue Fairy, the humans and the sets are incredible
6. The entire score was done in wood instruments
7. It satirizes propaganda and how it is used to manipulate impressionable minds
8. Its pretty fucking anti-war
9. It tackles themes of loss, death, war & abuse
10. It does not fuck around when it comes to mature subjects
11. We need more support for stop motion films, its a great animation style and has so much potential that we hardly ever see

Haven’t seen anyone making pins of the Del Toro Pinocchio spirits/angels so I might just have to do it myself! If you’ve seen any please let me know so I can buy them thanks

Idk man, 2022 didn’t fuck around?

• The Queen dies;
• Jair Bolsonaro loses in Brazil, and decides to go away WITHOUT trying a coup (this was not a given)
• Putin gets his ass kicked in Ukraine, the world comes together to oppose him;
• The GOP’s much hyped “Red Wave” in the American midterms is a Big Lol; now they have to contend with the Talented Mr. Santos and the constant clown show that will be a Republican House and Kevin McCarthy trying DESPERATELY to get elected speaker;
• The Democrats kept the Senate and even added a seat, while capping off a year of big and meaningful legislative accomplishments; hence if certain unnamed SCOTUS justices snuff it in the next two years, they can fill that seat;
• The Tories, after an absolutely laugh-so-you-don’t cry year of absolutely surreal comedic incompetence inflicted on the people of Britain, are an average of 26 points behind in general opinion polls;
• Sex trafficker and all around miserable misogynist Andrew Tate tries to pick a fight with Greta Thunberg, self owns to an amazing degree, is now being held in a Romanian prison for another month after stupidly giving his location away via pizza box;
• Former Pope Benedict XVI, aka a decades-long enforcer of sexual abuse coverups in the Catholic Church as well as various other reprehensible moral positions, kicks the bucket (on the last day of the year)
• A new climate deal was made;
• And so on.

I mean, various other bad things very much still did happen, and it was a tough year for a lot of us on a personal level, but this is the first year since probably 2016 where it feels like there’s actually a bit of hope for the future on a big structural level, and I appreciate that.

The last five years have been fuck around. Finally we are entering the era of find out

Bees choose to live in the box where they know damn well that a large fraction of the honey will periodically be removed, instead of simply leaving that place like they are perfectly able to do, because the human box comes with an invulnerable titan to guard them against all threats. The bees consider the payment offered to this colossal mercenary to be a pretty good deal.

Bees know about supply and demand

Protection money

Protection honey

so when humans offer a portion of their crop to an unknowable deity for protection and a safe year until next harvest its called religion but when bees do it…
