ace-of-tales asked:

I was really surprised to know that Caligula was the ruler during the year Crowley and Aziraphale were in Rome! (Sorry, not caught up in my Roman history) No wonder Crowley was in a bad mood. Caligula was an absolute nutter!

neil-gaiman Answer:

We wound up cutting the dialogue about what Crowley and Aziraphale were in Rome to do, in the edit. I don’t honestly remember why we cut it, I liked it.

Me too. If you’re wondering about things that didn’t make the final cut, they are all in there.

All the weird misinterpretations and revisions of Russian history aside, Anastasia is one of my favourite movies because its plot structure is so fucking weird

It’s a period piece romance. That’s cool, that’s all well and good, except that on the sidelines there’s an undead warlock who’s trying so hard to kill the protagonist, but all in ways that the protagonist either doesn’t notice or doesn’t accept as supernatural

And it isn’t a twist! The audience knows about the warlock! The warlock has a villain song! The warlock is one of the principal characters! But the protagonist spends 95% of the movie completely unaware of the warlock, and just spends the entirety of the movie doing period piece romance things while being repeatedly inconvenienced by the warlock until the climax, when the protagonist has to very suddenly

  1. Acknowledge the existence of the warlock
  2. Acknowledge the existence of the supernatural
  3. See some real-ass goddamn magic
  4. Kill the warlock

I have never seen a movie with a plot structure like this before, and I don’t think I’ll see one like it ever again. It’s like an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice that turns Lady Catherine into a vampire who’s just repeatedly trying to drink Lizzy’s blood, but Lizzy doesn’t even notice until the climax whereupon she stuffs Lady Catherine’s mouth with garlic and cuts off her head (an adaptation I would kill to see, by the way). There are two completely different genres playing out at the same time, and one of them is trying to kill the other

Anyways that’s why the stage musical is bad, thank you and good night

The only thing I’m adding to this is that Disney’s Hercules has almost the same hero-villain dynamic in that the protagonist and antagonist think they are the heroes of two wildly different stories, and the protagonist doesn’t really know the antagonist exists until the endgame starts. It’s so fucking bizarre. They also both came out in 1997, and feature a red-headed protagonist who starts the story trying to find out who their parents are and falls in love with a shady brunette with dubious intentions who winds up trying to sacrifice themselves so the protagonist can live/be happy. I dunno what this means, but coincidence? I think NOT!

Listen that was just the vibe of 97 alright some shit went down that year

The Anti-Christian Profanity of Golden Girls

Friendly reminder that the pathetic persecution complex that afflicts white evangelical christians in america didn’t just begin.

They lost their shit over THE GOLDEN GIRLS, for fuck’s sake.

These authoritarian shitbags can fuck all the way off forever.

they took to it like a duck to water: they began naturally, almost effortlessly, and were immediately in their element

they took to it like a baby otter to water: screaming, certain they were dying, hating every minute of it despite being perfectly suited to the conditions

in elementary school the DARE officer mentioned that you shouldnt sniff sharpies or white-out and everyone in the back two rows immediately took out their sharpies and liquid white-out to see if they would get high DURING THE DARE PRESENTATION

Again, congrats to drugs for winning the war on drugs :)
