Just so we are clear, I’ve spent $94.77 so far to see Bohemian Rhapsody multiple times with friends and family. And a bitch will gladly give them more of my money if I find time to see the movie again. I may be annoying talking about the movie so much, but if I can get at least one person to go see the movie when they otherwise wouldn’t have, then that will make me happy. The critics are tearing the movie apart, despite how much the audiences love it. I want everyone who worked on this film (from the cast to every crew member) to know that the movie is beautiful and the critics don’t speak on the behalf of the audience. 🤷♀️ Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Also, I strongly encourage everyone to rate the movie on Rotten Tomatoes.
It’s important that everyone sees the huge difference between the critics’ ratings and the audience’s ratings. Audiences have pretty much all been in agreement that the film deserves 8-10 stars whereas critics have been giving it 1-5 Stars. It’s honestly insulting how the critics have been reacting to this film.
The fact they’re bitter that the movie didn’t have a long, drawn-out, dark and gritty ending about Freddie withering away and dying, really leaves a sour taste in my mouth. They’re legitimately upset that the movie didn’t pry enough into Freddie’s personal life and death, despite the fact the movie clearly shows how private Freddie was and how much the media nagged him and tried to constantly dig into his private life for their big news stories.
We should all be more pissed off about this, tbh. The critics didn’t just miss the point of the movie but they’re really out here giving 1-5 out of 10 stars because the film didn’t have an unhappy ending like they expect all films about people with HIV to end.
One of the Czech critics thought Freddie was Pakistani, another complained that he wasn’t portrayed as his on-stage persona 24/7,while he was actually extremely shy and private off stage. Also, Freddie admitted to being ill approximately 24 hours before he died, and he’s never confirmed beind bi (the movie makes him gay while he had relationships with both men and women), so in that the movie matches his behaviour completely. Ugh. People are stupid. Review the movie please.
My dream is to live in a cabin by a lake in the rainy mountains, where I can look outside and see fog drifting silently over the water…but it’s got to have high-speed internet too, or I would die.
As a former zookeeper we would hear this a lot. “If you don’t study hard you’ll end up cleaning poop for a living.” It’s the one time we’re allowed to go off on the visitors. I once heard my boss rant for five minutes at a lady, in front of her kids, about how he had a Master’s degree, how people literally worked there for free, and how dare she judge people without bothering to know anything about them. Later that day his boss came by and said, roughly, “She told us what happened. Thanks for not throwing anything this time.”
i remember reading naruto as a 13-year-old and being so confused that kakashi was willing to read porn in public but today it occurred to me that the number of times i’ve straight-facedly read porn on ao3 in public is honestly kind of worrying. i’ve become kakashi. we’ve all become kakashi
Except for those of us who grew up to be Jiraiya and straight-facedly write porn in public.
a black girl character growing her hair out long breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character having short hair
a black girl character getting to be soft and fragile breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character being strong all the time
a black girl character being protected and comforted by others breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character having no one to look out for her but herself
a black girl character being considered pretty or cute by other characters breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character being considered unattractive
not everything that is empowering for white girls is empowering for black girls
the sexism we face overlaps, but it is not the same
– The annual “Huafu Day”, which was recently established as a holiday to celebrate traditional Chinese clothing (X):
The above are some of the events in which people wear hanfu. Of course, there are also people who wear hanfu in everyday life. As I mentioned before, having a couple of hanfu in the closet is not commonplace yet, but it’s getting there – especially among the younger generation. For more references, please check out my hanfu movement tag.
(2/2) “Mom tried her best to pay for flight school, but we kept running out of money. I’d have to drop out for a few weeks, and since flying involves so much muscle memory, it would take me a while to get back on track. So one day I bought a stack of magazines and newspapers. I went through every page and cut out the advertisements. Then I opened my pantry and wrote down every brand I could find. I sent all of them letters, asking for help. Almost everyone said ‘no.’ But I did receive an amount from a grocery store called Pick-n-Pay. And Breitling sent me a brand new watch to raffle. That was a huge break. I sold six hundred raffle tickets. Things were going so well. African Pilot Magazine promoted the raffle for free. A man from Australia bought 100 tickets. But then I got a letter from the Lottery Board ordering me to end my raffle. They said it was illegal. I tried to explain that I was raising money for my education, but they didn’t care. I was so disappointed. I’d have to sit out another year of flight school. But when I called everyone to explain the situation, nobody would accept their money back. They told me to keep it! It was enough to keep me in the air for months. Then around Christmas that year, one of my mentors invited me to eat lunch at the airport. When I stepped out of the car, everyone who had ever helped me was there. They all started clapping. And somebody handed me the phone. A person on the other end said: ‘You’re live on 94.7, and we’re going to pay for your entire education!’ That was nearly four years ago. I just got my license last week. My plan is to fly for South African Airlines, but first I want to do some teaching. I want to visit schools in black neighborhoods. I want all the kids to see what an African female pilot looks like.” (Johannesburg, South Africa)
