To sweetly hold your hand
What an asstacularly long day, urgh. Long day at work means I reward myself with another post on the same day that is not fic-related.
Day 02 → Your favorite movie
(aka time for sbj to sound like a pretentious asshole)
I know it's the obvious choice for me, but in all seriousness this movie really was instrumental in a lot of RL choices I made (yes, feel free to laugh). This was the first movie I saw that taught me the value of the theater experience as well as the beauty of a film print vs. a digital print. I saw this on opening day in super mondo wide screen and am severely bummed that not even the Region 2 release's widescreen (no Region 1 WS exists) is as gloriously huge as the original print was. I remember the specks of dust I saw on the print as the Professor looked to cam (right after he created the girls) and the detail of the paint on the walls of the girls' bedroom in that jaw-dropping, massive truck out that started in Mojo's lab. I could go on and on about this movie, really. This movie turned me into a film geek. It's a severely underrated piece of work, not least of all because of its visual beauty - it's a fantastic character study as well. That scene on the asteroid? God. The girls are dead on, absolutely perfect. If you write fic for PpG ever - ever - you need to watch and study and know that scene. Even if you don't, it is a prime example of outstanding characterization.
Also it's a lot of fun to watch tiny five-year-old girls kicking booty.
