Cases of Skin Rash are increasing everyday because of bacterial , fungal or viral infections , on the other sides alot of insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and flies, which act as vectors. What we are witnessing in shelter centers and displacement camps from the accumulation of stagnant water and inadequate management of waste and sanitation provides a fertile ground for disease vectors. Every day we see in our Medical point about 50 cases of multi-cause rash. 😥💔

GUYS

I’m so proud of myself :))))

I now have Agatha powers 🥳😄😃🎉

ATTENTION ALL AGATHARIO FANS

I need your help desperately.

okay so I’m planning an AAA fan film about Agathario that takes place before Nicky is born. I have very limited resources so we can only afford a few characters who need to be acted by older teens. I also wanted to bring in Infinity (Rio’s “sister” from the comics) and this part is a little confusing but I was thinking Infinity and Rio get in a fight and Infinity sends Agatha to a different universe in the multiverse. Except it’s sort of like dreamwalking so Agatha is quite literally in someone else’s body (explaining why she’s not acted by Kathryn Hahn since I obviously will not be able to hire her). This is when Rio also “dreamwalks” to rescue Agatha, except neither of them can figure out how to get Agatha back, since the universe she was sent to doesn’t have any magic in it. Oh yeah, and because Infinity is mad at Rio, she’s actively trying to sabotage them. and that is when I get stuck. I don’t know how Agatha figures out how to get back and how to resolve the film. Any ideas?

also sorry if that was confusing lol, it is sort of complicated.

And if you don’t have any ideas, could you repost so maybe it could get to someone who will have an idea?

I like to watch bad low-budget movies, and I found the film monsters (1993) (Russian). They use live action footage of small animals as the "monsters". As a rat owner, I find it hilarious how they try to make the rats look threatening. (No animals were actually harmed in filming)

Manchester by the Sea (2016)

Just discovered the list feature on letterboxed

And the movie ends here my dear friends. Time freezes right then and there. Nope, I don't accept criticism 🌷

DUDE, "The Electric State" is SO FREAKING GOOD OMG

THERE'S G/T, BUT LIKE, REALLY GOOD G/T ON IT WTF

AND, AND THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD FOR SO MANY REASONS

Please, PLEASE, WATCH IT'S MASTERPIECE

Just finished I Saw the TV Glow, and I must say it has quickly become my favorite movie I've ever had the honor to watch.

There's so much beauty in it in so many different ways. It is a compassionate and raw perspective on transness and mental illness and feeling empty and nostalgia and isolation. Not only was the writing excellent my god the acting and the cinematography had me in tears. Some things I loved about the movie.

1. The writing (obviously)

The way this movie is a metaphor for so many different things that seem separate but are all intertwined is breathtaking. Something I found fascinating is at the end I didn't even really sit there trying to decide if it was all a psychotic break or it they really were from a tv show because it didn't matter. Because at the end of the day, it was still about being too afraid to be yourself. About holding it all in until you break. About life moving too fast but being too slow and monotonous. It was about fearing who you are and never taking the dive because it sounds crazy and you can't. It's about regret. It's about soulmates, about that on person who you never have to lie to. In the end, it would still be about those things whether or not there really was a tv show or not.

2. Cinematic Decisions

The filming decisions in this film made it what it was. One of the things I found fascinating was the lack of a true soundtrack. There wasnt particularly a lot of background noise excpet for chatter on the TV. All of the conversations and days are smothered in this thick heavy silence. The silence is so prominent it feels like its own character. The graininess and static making it feel like an actual tv show. The colors, the sickening neon glow from everywhere all the time. The unsteady camera and wide shots.

3. The relationships

While Maddy and Owen are amazing on their own, their relationship is the most compelling part of the story. Both feel alone and broken and like theres something wrong with themselves but not as much around each other. We see Owen isn't really talkative or open with his mom, that he barely says anything at all to her, but with Maddy almost immediately, he feels a connection to her. He seeks her out again and again. Owen doesn't have anything resembling a relationship with anyone else. He barely has dialogue with other characters. In the scene where his dad is holding him under the shower, he doesn't say a word, doesn't even look at him honestly. He says near the end he has a family, but we don't even see them. But with Maddy, he is close to her. They're intertwined, and around each other, they admit truths and secrets it doesnt feel like they've ever said outloud before. Even when Owen is freaked out by Maddy, even when he pushes her away and runs, there's till love there. It's not rejection as much as fear, and maddy doesn't blame him.

4. Parallels and Callbacks

One of the main cinematic choices I found myself noticing over and over again was the colors surrounding Maddy and Owen. in the first scene they sit across from each other as Owen leans against a oink vending machine and maddy a black. Owen has a pink sleeping bag and a pink shirt and a pink dress. Maddy is more often seen in black and white. Some great callbacks are the scene where we find out Owen doesn't have a heart, and Maddy reminds him of the bleavhers where he said he was afraid someone would dig up his insides and find there is nothing there. Seeing the chalk on the road clearly for the first time and it being the ghosts and "there's still time".

My personal favorite scene is the scene where Owen watches the finale, and then his dad comes in to find him with his head on the TV, screaming and crying. To me, this scene is very reminiscent of an attempt. He's finally been pushed to the edge and flung off of it. he's been holding everything in for so long and he can't take it anymore. Its heartbreaking in every way.

All in all this is a fantastic movie I highly recommend. All my love to the writers producers and directors.

Oh there's an English word for it too. Enucleation, I'm pretty sure. Normally used in a medical/clinical context. I haven't seen the movie, so don't know if that would or not, but yeah.

Re-watching "the Guest" with French subtitles atm to get back into the language, and came across s'éborgner.

Do the French really have a verb for the action of taking out an eye???

checkmate, chuds.

I need some money for my next project (a short film).

Synopsis:

A 47-year-old first-generation Panjabi immigrant and a single mother living in Surrey explores a new side to life while questioning her future, purpose and at times, her faith, as her daughter ascends into adulthood.

Anyone willing to fund more than $2k gets full producer credits.

Bad days.

just watched Jennifer's body for the first time, god I want to kill some boys😔

Matilda (1996) dir. Danny DeVito

It's been a long day, can't wait to unwind with my favourite comfort film Memories of murder (2003) by director Bong Joon-ho

ok but if I can ever even hope to achieve something near the cinematic masterpieces of gritty Korean thrillers my life as one chained to the arts would be complete

This so much... Like wdym paprika makes no sense to you???? Its so peak and has so many nuances and layers(litterly and figurtivly) or like wes anderson... his works are so peak and filled with symbolism....

hating on movies for being “pretentious” feels so anti-intellectual in a way. half of the people i know can’t watch a movie with critical thinking skills so maybe people should make more pretentious films and art and books

I'm watching the original Fun With Dick and Jane from 1977, and I was entirely unaware that there was a scene where the male lead is told off for being transphobic.

Dick, who is aptly named, is in line at the unemployment office behind a trans woman who got fired for coming out. When Dick talks to the guy at the desk, he immediately insults the woman, calling her crazy and using the f slur.

And the guy absolutely shuts him down. Tells him that she's just a trans woman trying to live her life with the most "fuck off" look on his face.

I was not expecting this from a comedy made in the 70s.

Fucking love it.

I got reminded of the movie Mighty Aphrodite today.

And, like, how did we ever think Woody Allen was okay?

It's about a man, played by Woody ofc, who adopted a son and wants to meet the kid's birthmother (Mira Sorvino) to find out what she's like in case the kid wants to meet her when he's older. Sounds okay so far, right?

BUT! It turns out that she's a sex worker. She's a prostitute and she's done porn in the past. Well that's just not acceptable to poor flustered Woody. He worms his way into her life, without letting her know who he is, so that he can save her from such a terrible lifestyle. Iirc she's actually pretty happy and isn't struggling. Not that her happiness or quality of life anything to do with his motivations - he just doesn't the woman who birthed his son to be involved in sex work.

So yeah, lies to her constantly to get involved in her life. He decides that she needs to quit sex work and get herself a husband. So he sets her up with....some dude. Some dude who has obvious anger problems and a clear hatred of women. He then lies to the dude about her career and convinces her to lie as well because no respectable man wants to be involved with a prostitute.

The dude beats her up after seeing her in a porn film he was watching with his buddies. Because it's totally fine for him to consume the content, but absolutely wrong of her to create it. He then leaves her. He's not treated like a villain btw. If anything, the movie seems to think she was in the wrong.

After this, Woody finally decides that he has no business meddling in her life like this and takes off. Doesn't cop to who he is or what he did or anything, but he at least left her alone.

And then the movie ends with them running into each other like two years later. And he still lies to her. And it turns out that she married a pilot that she met because of him, had a baby, and now she's a stay at home mother. Her life is all sunshine and roses now thanks to Woody Allen deciding to be her savior. Everything he did was good actually because she's a tradwife now.

I...just...how do we let men tell on themselves this much and then hand out Oscars for it??

Can we all please acknowledge that Brittany Murphy was an extremely talented actor with an absolutely impressive range? And that she also had an amazingly kind and sweet personality?

I mean, can you imagine any of the films she was in with someone else in her roles? Clueless, Cherry Falls, 8 Mile, Girl Interrupted, Prophecy 2, Riding in Cars with Boys, Uptown Girls, etc.? Didn't think so. She made those roles. Those movies would have been made so much less by her absence. Even when she was given roles that had no depth or nuance, she gave it depth and nuance through her performance.

While we're at it, let's also acknowledge how horribly she was treated by the media. Like, tabloids just made up stories about her being an addict, having an eating disorder, being difficult on set. None of that was true. But she was constantly hounded about it and it was devastating for her mental and physical health. All of these lies became the common perception of her. People just accepted it all as truth.

She was an all-around wonderful person and artist. But she was destroyed by assholes deciding that she was an easy target. Even when she died, these vultures made up shit about how she OD'ed (she didn't) or died of an ED (she didn't). They couldn't even let her rest in peace.

I keep hoping that someday we'll stop letting media outlets do this to women, but I keep getting shown that there is no end to it. As long as people are getting "tea" they'll keep letting women, and even young girls, get victimized and traumatized.
