AO3 has been down for almost 20 hours. I would suspect a DDoS attack, but when the 2023 one happened, they were pretty open about it. Who knows.

It's been done! conradveidt community is up and running! There a Movie Tournament Poll happening, and the film that wins will be highlighted for a whole month!

And under the cut, Lancelot stained glass, but made with coloured pencils.

Having a panic attack while your friend is also having a very shitty time and having to help (while trying to not seem like you yourself are having a bad time) is sure an experience. Been trying to get over it with movies.

Zootopia's message is still a little muddy, but "Didney" would never do something like this now (Zootopia 2 not withstanding, no idea how good that one is). Goldeneye made me feel like a kid again. I always forget I enjoy James Bond movies. The difference is I'm an adult now, and can think of them critically.

As for new watches... 8½ is... overrated? I guess? It feels like a dream, it plays with its medium so darn well, but alas, I cared not for our director character. Maybe on a rewatch it's better, but I have no desire to do so. Sleeping Car though? Very very silly. Always nice seeing Madeleine Carroll in a not-drama. I have seen four talkies with Ivor Novello and in half of them he's the most obnoxious rascal (good, he plays them well). Lots of moving camera, not enough trains. I still enjoyed I Lived With You more, but somehow believed Carroll and Novello's romance more than Jeans and Novello.

(And I would believe his romance with me even more *cough*)

I have to thirst somewhere. My friends can't handle it, and it's not even as scandalous as Cairns's for Veidt's tight clothing :P

EDIT: Ah! Almost forgot! bethefirst is having its (optional) signups! tardis_remix is also having (obligatory) signups and prompt claiming!
