I love movies, stories, film/literary theory, fan studies, adaptation & transformative works. Currently working on a couple of long-term projects in those areas while mostly posting about fandom / film & tv in general. 🤍

Honestly - bc having a full head prosthetic applied/managed does feel intimate and romantic under the right circumstances 😂 (despite the fact it feels really gross and uncomfortable underneath all that stuff) and I had the same thought when I saw this pic

Daughter liked JAWS so much she chose to watch it again with her dad for their movie night. I'm just so very proud of her taste sometimes ❤️

Totally, I went through that ew slash is gross era, too, as a young kid. Then I got into Star Trek and was like wait, but Kirk and Spock are clearly OTP, maybe I was wrong. Then Fellowship of the Ring came out when I was 16 and well... that was influential for a lot of us I think 😂

Jadzia deserved so much better!! I watched DS9 in high school too, just a little earlier, right after it was done airing. I shipped Garak/Bashir so hard back then, so this recent revival of that ship in the last few years has been healing :)

Awww! Yeah, I appreciate that we can all agree that you can never go too wrong blaming Rick for the sins of 90s Trek! I didn't watch DS9 until right after it was done airing, but I can only imagine how frustrating that must have been for Jadzia fans at the time, the treatment she ended up getting 🤬

My daughter, who is generally suspicious of anything that looks "old" (pre-90s), LOVED IT??? She pronounced it "not that scary," although she did praise Bruce the shark for looking realistic, making me very proud that I am succeeding in indoctrinating her to appreciate practical FX.

Right? I liked the moments when it led to personal growth for Worf (expressing his love for her, etc), but in general I thought the relationship reflected a trend toward writing Jadzia as a Cool Girl who would put up with anything in her relationships with men because she's sooo cool, which... :(

This is just to say that this latest rewatch resulted in me upgrading my Letterboxd rating of HOT FROSTY from "3 stars and a heart" to "3.5 stars and a heart" and I regret nothing

OMG YES. He was the absolute worst in that one. That episode, among many others, is part of the reason I never liked Worf/Jadzia much because honestly, how am I not supposed to be offended by the idea that Dax, after all her lifetimes of experience, would choose to be with this person 🤦♀️

Ooh, I do enjoy Worf as a character (more so on TNG than DS9), but... they're not wrong 😬 dude gets away with SO much that he by all rights shouldn't have

I will say, I still really don’t care for the MCU, for many reasons… but at the same time… I’ve been uninformed for too long, I should really at least know where I stand on important cultural conversations like “do Captain America and Iron Man have chemistry” (*yes)
