Thomas says, “Three months. Feels like twice as long,” obviously thinking dirty thoughts about how much he missed James in his bed.
And the shot we get of James at that precise moment is one where a giant COCKatoo is basically rising out of his head because they’ve positioned him right in front of the painting.
And that COCKatoo is huge, glowing white against the dark background and standing there erect upright like a rod.:P
I can’t…They’re killing me with their dick jokes.:D
Don’t tell me that’s not deliberate. Everything in a frame is there for a reason.
And if something is visually rising from your head, it means it’s what’s on your mind.
At least, that’s usually how cinematic language works.
(Also, this is the only moment in this scene in which James is standing in front of this particular painting. The rest of the scene he was filmed from a different angle.)
Just wondering what the corresponding painting on the other wall means – that painting of that peacock with its magnificent tail…That Thomas started strutting about like a peacock the moment James appeared in his life, putting on his best wigs and dusting off his Adam-and-Eve Bible quotes for him? Yeah, thought as much.:)
What the damn hell is this? You’re taunting me. Taunting me with those fluffy carbs while I’m here on my fourth Paleo cleanse of 2016.
You’re not even eating them! You’ve fashioned a CROWN of CRUMB while I’m chomping nuts and sucking flaxseed like a biodiesel car engine. You think I like this? You think I don’t want bread?
I promise you, little one, next time I see you and that slice, you’re both TOAST.
In the beginning, there were the British Isles. These were the home of the Celtic people, who liked to draw fancy knots and build large stone circles. They were immediately killed off by the Romans for these dangerous and blasphemous acts. The Romans then built a giant wall to keep the most brutal survivors from invading their settlements. These dangerous and bizarre northerners would in time become known as the Scottish.
In 1066, a man named Norman invaded and killed off all the remaining Romans and Celts because they did not speak French. The survivors were taught French, and began to fight each other over who was more French. These wars included the Hundred Years War, which lasted 116 years; the War of the Roses, in which no actual roses fought; and the English Civil War, in which the people literally fought about whether their government should be run by people calling themselves “The Rump.”
England during this time also had well over 30 different Kings and Queens, who all together had well under 5 different names. There was also Oliver Cromwell, who banned Christmas because it wasn’t Christian enough for him. These centuries also saw the creation of the Magna Carta, which was by far the biggest Carta.
Shakespeare happened.
England then began to colonize the world. For 300 years, the English invaded literally every single other country they could find. They only missed like five. They invaded so many that their empire sprawled across the globe and they could claim that “The Sun Never Set On The British Empire,” which was inaccurate because the sun set every night on each portion, meaning the sun was in fact always setting on the British Empire.
In time, the empire grew obsolete and England joined together with its feisty brother Ireland (or at least his shoulder), its peaceful sister Wales, and its crazy uncle Scotland that nobody liked to visit or talk about. Together they became known as the UK, which in turn joined the EU, ushering in a new era of two letter abbreviations that reigned over Europe, past England’s brutal defeat of Germany, England’s other brutal defeat of Germany, and the withdrawal of England from the EU, which was for some reason lamented by Germany.
Also Harry Potter happened.
Um, if you’re facts-i-just-made-up, then why is this 100% true?
It’s all false. There is no England, only Zuul.
“past England’s brutal defeat of Germany, England’s other brutal defeat of Germany, and the withdrawal of England from the EU, which was for some reason lamented by Germany.”
