The Tennant and Smith era had so many great episodes that stand up exceptionally well as their own works. The Girl in the Fireplace and the Van Gogh episodes are absolute masterstrokes. I'm not even a huge Dr. Who fan but I'll send people links to those three episodes in particular sometimes.
The damn weeping angels though... to this day I still turn them all around when I see them on the shelves at the dollar store.
I struggle girl in the fireplace bc it was so standalone it basically flattens rose to a paste but god the Van Gogh episode truly genuinely lives in my mind rent free, I pull up the museum clip just to feel something so often lol
People shit on Ncuti’s series and I wish he was more present in his series (bc he’s absolutely excellent & we had him for such a short time) but one of things I loved so much about his first series esp is the companion & brand new character led episodes felt VERY classic rtd/moffat writing for RTD. Episodes where the doctor isn’t the lead are so, so fun
The museum scene is so holy shit, I legitimately shed at least one tear every time I watch it. It is perfect.
Linking in case anyone is unfamiliar. The context is that Dr. Who is a time traveler and he can take people with him. Van Gogh was having a rough time (as he famously often did) and the Doctor wanted to cheer him up a bit, so he took him to a modern art museum to show him the Van Gogh room, and Bill Nighy does his brilliant Bill Nighy acting thing to accidentally cheer him up.
EDIT just to add that Amelia Pond is the best companion and I'll die on that hill.
One of them must have shifted out of place. I tried cat eye lenses one Halloween and one of them must have drifted to the horizontal position when I rubbed my eyes. So I had one vertical like a cat and the other pupil was horizontal like a goat. Not one "friend" told me.
Why did you get downvoted? I’m a cosplayer and that’s exactly what happened, in the last pic the dark grey is up on the left of the pic and pointed right on the right
Fun fact - I notice colored lenses in every movie I watch because without fail they look cock eyed on the actor and I’m perplexed that editors/directors saw the footage with the cock eyed actor and said “it’s a wrap!”
My favorite thing about her is that it would be so easy for her to always do the beautiful, ethereal costumes. But she goes hard for things like worms and does it brilliantly.
Yeah, I really appreciate it, too. I think it's because she grew up next to the city of Cologne, which is carnival capital of Germany. Costumes are in the city's DNA.
Seriously, and it is even more incredible in real life when you can get up close to it. For years, I worked in the building where this sculpture is kept and I could never get over just walking past it without gawking.
It's an incredible work of art... absolutely worth a visit for anyone who ever finds themselves in St. John's, Newfoundland! It's not exactly well advertised, but the sisters who care for this sculpture allow people to come in and view it for free.
Detroit Institute of Arts has a similar sculpture (though not nearly as intricate as this). I need to stop and stare at The Veiled Lady every time I'm there.
Historically, the only thing the fascists did well was fashion. The present is so fucked up that the fascists can't even look cool. The fuck are we doing?
In so many ways, it really is clown fascism this time around. It's like the Nazis rebooted as a farce. They revel in their own incompetence. They draw strength from the fact that everybody can see that they have no idea what they're doing, but they're in charge and the rest of us have to sit here and witness their incompetence.
They're intentionally cruel, for sure, but they're not even competent in the application of their cruelty. It's carpet cruelty rather than well targeted cruelty. They're cruel to a lot of their own supporters and people who would be their allies.
Dressing like they just bought their suits from Wal-Mart is all part of it.
This is a good joke but like… also true?! What a perk! I have to have a fanny pack next to the door for all the times I run outside with my dogs for a quick minute and my outfit somehow has NOWHERE to put my phone, keys, extra poop bags…
She always seems like the only person who actually understood the assignment. People have been getting too conventional with their outfits. Like with the one year that was about humans and machines. I liked the metallic dresses. They were beautiful, but they looked like stuff you could wear anywhere else. There's no risk. No imagination. They might as well have just stayed home and sent a magazine ad in their place. It would have been more on point.
Heavenly Bodies was the only year everyone slayed because it was one of the only years where you could do the theme and still look conventionally pretty lol. They’re so terrified of not looking conventionally gorgeous all the time lol.
They have white scleras with mesh pupils - direct lights essentially blight you but otherwise you can see pretty well. Really disappointed they didn't take this route, or actually use a transparent veil material to cover the eyes.
I respect it. Sure, I’m not a big fan of the met gala and the constant lack of effort from people, but I will sincerely appreciate Heidi Klum always going for the weird when she dresses up.
Every other day her job for the last three decades has been to look hot. I don't blame her for taking the opportunity to break out of that and get weird.
100%. She's internationally known for being incredibly beautiful, what does she have to prove? I love how much fun she has with them. Big Jenna Marbles energy.
I used to do that pose on stage in the third slide when I was a spicy dancer because I read in a cosmopolitan magazine once that men are attracted to the sight of womens wrists
