I personally don’t care what Britain calls it. The rest of Europe calls it football and we are not gonna switch to calling it soccer just because Americans get triggered.

It’s all fine and dandy that they only think about the big cities, but the problem is that the focus on public transport seem to be exclusively focused on big cities while those of us who live in rural areas are starved for public transport options.

I see they pick Copenhsgen among the places to praise public transport. Psh. Cool. I live in Jutland and my household was literally forced to buy a car after they cut the public transport budget in our city - again - and as a result, my boyfriend was forced to get up at 3 in the morning to be at work at 8. So, we bought a car because it was literally killing him and the limited time we had as a couple already, was pretty much eradicated.

Getting a car not only did wonders for his health, it also gave us our relationship a much needed boost because now he had the energy to actually be awake and do things with me, when he got home from work.

There are zero signs that public transport is a priority where we live and we aren’t going back now. We did everything to depend on public transport and save the expense of having a car until we were in our 30s and the only reason we ended up buckling was because public transport was cut from our area. It wasn’t only his bus route that was fucked with, btw. When I wanted to go see friends and family, the busses I used to take had been cut too and I suddenly had to take three trains and two busses to go see people who lived two to three hours away by car took me something around 6 hours to go on a 2 hours ride anywhere. One time they flat out canceled my bus home and I was stuck on a train station in Aarhus at midnight Nad would have to wait until 4 in the morning to get home. My boyfriend came and picked me up in the car and told me that from now on he’d drive me when I went because the last few trips I had taken had been disasters and this one had been the worst one yet. I had left for home, btw, at around 5 in the afternoon and wasn’t home until 2 in the morning. That trio would have taken me 3 hours by car. Public transport forced me to be on the go for 9 hours and that is only because my boyfriend picked me up. If he hadn’t done that, it would have been 13 hours.

That is unacceptable. And from what I have been told recently, public transport has only gotten worse in Denmark since. But I’m so happy for people in Copenhagen that they get to have busses, trains and metro that arrive every two minutes and take them anywhere they need to go. Must be nice.

I’m still heartbroken that photography didn’t exist during his autopsy. The details of his autopsy report are some witchy shit that I need to see with my own two eyes to believe.

I could be misremembering, but I think the reason he said that was because his ego got bruised as all hell when they first met. Henry decided to do this grand gesture type of intrance where he was “in disguise” and had convinced himself that his new bride would recognize him and fall into his arms. Instead, Anne was put off by his antics and pulled away because how would she know whom he was when they had literally never met?

So little “I like her not” tantrum and subsequent mockery of her looks was due to a severely bruised ego because a perfect stranger couldn’t read his thoughts.

Correct me if I’m wrong. It has been a friggin minute since I was obsessed with the Tudor family so my memory is rusty.

As someone who live in Jutland, I was more like

Thought at first that it was a new remake of The Wicker Man, but instead it’s Fifty Shades of Pinocchio.

Fair enough.

If ever I was to learn that a hollywood actor turned out to be a serial killer, my money would be on Jared Leto or Ezra Miller. It’d be one of those two.

Creep was made from 10K or something like that and is a fantastic found footage horror flick in my opinion.

A Horrible Woman.

There probably are worse movies out there, but I always like to give this movie its flowers.

It’s a Danish film about a couple who meet, fall in love and begin living together. The woman in the relationship turns out to be a passive aggressive manipulator, who slowly takes over his life and essentially holds him hostage in the relationship.

It freaked me the fuck out the first time I watched it, because I have been in an abusive relationship in the past with a man who was also very manipulative and verbally abusive. It’s the type of invisible abuse that gradually chips away at who you are and it is very hard to stop it once the ball starts rolling.

They have the nerve to call it a black comedy, haha. It’s genuinely so uncomfortable because the woman in the movie is unpredictable at all times and the actress plays her masterfully.

I am a coward for life.

Too awful for words. Any death is a tragedy, but it’s particularly devastating and bitter when it’s someone who had their whole life ahead of them. I really, really hope she didn’t suffer. I can’t imagine the pain her family is going through.

not always. I remember they cast Caroline Henderson (pretty cool scandinavian singer) to play the role of a historical norwegian viking jarl in the show Vikings, which was a very strange choice. And tbf, that show is especially guilty of depicting the fantasy version of vikings with furs and leather and modern hair cuts and dirt on their faces. I don’t have much respect for that show.

I think Vinland Saga does a much better job with historical accuracy when it comes to depictions of clothes, ships, houses and tools.

It’s because there’s an assumption that only European history and culture is interesting to audiences so they just ignore other cultures and do their weird inaccurate costumes and castings and call anyone who has criticism for it a racist or a snob.

It’s so easy to dismiss people by calling them racist when you take their culture, histories and mythogies and do nothing to represent them correctly.

And before anyone comes for me, I still find it fucking weird that Martin Scorsese decided to cast a white man in the role of Bill Smith, when the real Bill Smith was native American. It is especially weird to me, because Bill Smith is the only good white man in the movie. I just don’t understand the need to lie about his ethnicity.

I hate that movie with a passion, btw. For many, many, many reasons.

In general, the way vikings are portrayed in media is more fantasy than fact.

It’s like everyone thinks vikings only wore leather and furs and caked their faces in dirt, when in reality, vikings were pretty colorful, clean and fabulous.

edit: spotted a few spelling mistakes

Lesson of Darkness is really cool. It’s more like a meditative art piece than a documentary. I really liked it. I remember Herzog shot it from the perspective of an astronaut discovering an alien race on an alien planet.

It’s just the aftermath of the Gulf War where they began burning the oil fields and it looks like something from a sci-fi. There are haunting interviews with the victims of the war. It’s truly such a beautiful film that you just take in and experience.

Haha, I mean… Paul Dano, just has a very punchable face. xD I almost feel bad, because I’m sure he’s a wonderful man irl, but he always plays characters you just want to smack around (which is why he was a perfect casting in Prisoners).

I’ll give The Batman 2 a watch when it comes out. The Penguin was a pleasant surprise and made me look at The Batman as a potential rather than the meh of a movie that it was. If they keep making movies and shows in this The Crow-inspired Gotham, then I won’t mind. Especially if they can hit the quality of The Penguin in the future.

I can wait for that.

I watched I Swear at some point recently and I really want everyone to give this film a go.

It’s about the true story of a British man who develops tourettes when he is around the age of 13 and the ways this condition isolates him from society, in the cruelest of ways.

But weirdly enough it is also about how tourettes opens a few doors to a meaningful existence when he meets the right people, who are willing to give him a chance to reach his potential.

It is an incredibly heartwarming film and is equal parts hysterically funny and very, very touching. Sometimes it’s downright depressing. You just want to hug this guy the whole time even if it would probably result in him punching you in the mouth and calling you a cunt, lol.

I thought The Drama was quite amazing! One of the more thought provoking and infuriating movies I have seen recently!

The layers in this film and the discussions it is able to start are quite bold and and really important!

And you’re absolutely right that some of the characters were annoying. Especially Rachel and Charlie. I wanted to slap both of them for almost the entire runtime xD
