can we talk about the way they drew John Constantine ? Like, yeah, I know he's one of my DC blorbo, BUT STILL ????
Did they really had to draw him so well ?????? Hot damn
The Order : Let's Talk about it !
Oh dear.... Let just say, this movie wasn't fun. But I like it anyway !
Ok, first : how and why did I watch it ? Saw the trailer a lot while watching Invincible on Prime (yeah yeah, I know, Amazon sucks, but I love watching movies and series, and my usual streaming is down soooo)
Now, let's get deeper. The movie is really, really great (I mean, with a main actor like Jude Law, it has promises). It talks about Nazis in the US in the 80s. DUDE HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING ???
Ok I'm not gonna spoil, but the first time we saw a swastika (had to go and see how it was written), it made me so uncomfortable. Like, really. The movie is from 2024, so before everything that happened early 2025, but. Spot on. Truely.
Scenario wise, really nice (i mean, it is based on real life events, soooooo), the acting is real good (Jude Law, again, but everyone else ! Dude the acting was so good !). The emotions are there when you need them. God I don't even have the words !
But to be honnest, it is a pretty heavy movie, so, maybe don't watch it before bed like the idiot I am...
Currently watching a movie in ice room ? (The really nice one with dolby 7.1 and lights on the sides, and very comfy sittings, and I don't know the equivalent anywhere else than in France)
We are 2 in the room. Like, yeah, ok, it's late on a Sunday, and in English, but still! Until like 5 minutes ago, I thought I would be the only one in the room.....
So. The rest.
I feel so much by all this.
It's not good quality : yeah normal. It was pretty much night time (we love a 8am class).
But it talks about macron (french president), trump and musk (they don't deserve to have the majuscules at their names : I don't respect people like them.)
And lastly : the Antifa that we have nearly everywhere. We are in the history buildings of the uni. We know how it happened 90 years ago. It is litteraly my class as I'm typing this.
Always say no to fascism. They promess you things. They won't give it to you. They dont care about you.
So... Yesterday my university -in France- was blocked by other people :
It's says : fuck Elon Musk (on the bench : death to Trump)
No need to translate that : we know it even here
Do a Luigi please
That's a french politique, and it's says fuck him
Once again : no need to translate
I'm gonna need to reblog it to add more, 'cause there's so much.
And I don't usually post this kind of things here but.... I went past that wall, went into the next building, and knew I had to go back. I find it really powerful. One of my friends said it was dirty and not well done. I don't agree.
ok, and flash ? I know this one isn't Barry, but wow ? Did I ever said I loved the grafics in this ???

Wait. So. I'm a history student, and right now, we're in modern history and talking about Christopher Columbus. Who wanted to go to India, by boat. How did he want to do that ?
Right. Travel around the Earth. Because Earth is round. And they knew that at the end of the XVth century.
Now. Explain to me, how the hell do people think the Earth is FLAT ??????
Like, If you believe that, I'm sorry dude, but you're dumber than an XVth century man (yes, many of them knew. I don't actually believe people thought the Earth was flat at that time. How did we end up thinking that again ? Like we knew it was round during Antiquity, through middle age -yeah, they didn't believe in heliocentrism, but the Earth was not flat- and now what ? I don't understand.)
For those not tapped into Australian politics, King Charles is in Australia to conduct his "historic first tour to the commonwealth realm" i.e visting countries that King Charles is supposedly a monarch to.
Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe had requested an audience with King Charles for weeks prior to this visit, she wrote countless letters to speak to him. Unlike other commonwealth nations and other former Brisitish colonies, a treaty with Indigenous peoples in Australia was never formed. Their land was never ceded to the British Crown. After being denied and ignored, Lidia Thorpe, draped in a traditional possum skin cloak, stormed in the Great Hall during the reception for Charles at Parliament House in the capital shout the following:
I literally can't even look at these photos without getting goosebumps.
I am terrified tonight.
Tonight, March 5th, my president talk to France. God, I am terrified.
What is going on in the world ? Between Russia, the US and now Europe ? Fuck, I am european. It terrifies me. He's talking about creating a european army, to 'defend'. But fucking hell ! you can just see he wants to go to war, so he can stay president longer !
I'm going to put what he said -cause I found it-, and put the translation for the non-french speakers : "Câest notre sĂ©curitĂ© qui est menacĂ©e. Si un pays peut envahir un autre en Europe, câest la paix qui est menacĂ©e" -It is our security that is threatened. If one country can invade another in Europe, peace is threatened- Yay, national security, how nice ! You're going to cost us. Even if he says that it wont, it will.
"La menace russe est lĂ , et touche les pays dâEurope. La Russie a fait du conflit ukrainien un conflit mondial" -The Russian threat is there, and affects the countries of Europe. Russia has made the Ukrainian conflict a global conflict- New world war ? Welp, I'm studying history. Never really intended to live what I'm studying...
"Qui peut croire que la Russie dâaujourdâhui sâarrĂȘtera Ă lâUkraineâ?" -Who can believe that today's Russia will stop at Ukraine?- They won't. Unfortunately, in my opinion, unless Putin dies -and even then, nothing is sure-, they will continue. They will be world war soon.
"Nous restons attachĂ©s Ă l'Otan, et Ă notre partenariat avec les Ătats-Unis. Mais l'avenir de l'Europe n'a pas Ă ĂȘtre tranchĂ© Ă Washington et Ă Moscou." -We remain committed to NATO, and to our partnership with the United States. But the future of Europe does not have to be decided in Washington and Moscow.- This is probably the thing I agree the most : peace shall not be made outside Europe. It is not a matter from the US to decide who's right and who's wrong. It is not to the US to decide who wins or not. But, arms race is not the answer either. Unfortunately, it seems we do no longer have a choice.
And you know what's even more terrifying ? My brother. He listen, arrived arround half the speech, and then tried to tell us that it was not so bad. That the world wasn't changing a super speed. That, no, our president wasn't trying, in subtext, to invite more people to join the army. He does not believe war can start that fast -we told him he could'nt wait 'till he finished his masters degree at the speed the world is moving, he doesn't want to believe us.
I am shaking, 45 minutes after the speech begun. I am terrified. I feel like I'm going to throw up. I am simply terrified. I would love this text to be one of my dystopian creation. Unfortunately, it is the world today. And fuck, I don't want to be in that world.
some of my fav 'inconsistencies' between the prequel trilogy & the OT and by fav i mean i genuinely think these were good calls:
it is NOT normal for Jedi to become force ghosts when they die. that's like a brand new skill Yoda just unlocked. if Luke tried to tell ppl about Obi-wan's force ghost literally no-one, even ppl who were familiar w the Jedi when they were around, would know wtf he was talking about
R2-D2 knew everything that went down during the prequels and just opted not to tell anyone ever which is fully in-character for him
becoming a Jedi was a whole process involving 15+ years of training and formal trials to determine if you were ready for knighthood and then with Luke Yoda was just like 'yeah fuck it you're a jedi knight now. burn the jedi temple did. made up all the rules are. gives a shit who does.'
everyone just kind of forgot who the Jedi were within the span of a generation. love that.
