I know that realistically you can only fit so many movies into a list of approximately 100, but I cannot take that "How many of tumblr's favorite movies have you seen?" list that's been going around seriously because there are some truly egregious omissions.

Some of it is very clearly recency bias, which makes me wonder if the op truly wasn't on here in 2013 or so, but you're telling me you made a list of "tumblr's favorite movies" that doesn't include Pacific Rim or Mad Max: Fury Road? Because, like, I was there, Gandalf.

I'm a ridiculous human and genuinely couldn't sleep until I tried my hand at a better, more balanced list -- though of course, I have my own biases when it comes to what corners of this website I've lurked in over the years. For what it's worth, I did consult the last several Years In Review, while also drawing on the fact that I've been here for over a decade. But if there's anything that truly doesn't feel like it should have made the cut, blame my mutuals for putting it on my dash all the time.

(And apologies, but I couldn't seem to find Goncharov among the website's listings)

Barbie (2023) dir. Greta Gerwig

a great tragedy of my life is i have soooo many questions i want to ask taylor swift about her artistic process, and despite there being a WHOLE FIELD OF PEOPLE who's job it is to Ask Taylor Swift About Her Artistic Process, they spent a decade asking her if boys ever don't talk to her because she might write a song about them

every article from 2005-2010: TAYLOR MADE; A SWIFT ASCENT: this teenager was bullied but now she writes songs! also did you know curly haired people exist?

every article from 2010-2013: LIFE AFTER THE FAIRYTALE: before this interview started i thought taylor swift was a prissy slut, but after insulting her for 2 hours while she was nothing but kind to me, i think she might be human. juries still out though

every article from 2014-2016: TAYLOR SWIFT IS HAPPIER THAN EVER: taylor swift gave me a tour of her apartment while talking about how she worries about everything all the time

every article from 2019-2020: TAYLOR BREAKS HER SILENCE: whatdoyouthinkaboutkanyewestwhatdoyouthinkaboutkanyewestwhatdoyouthinkaboutkanyewestwhatdoyouthinkaboutkanyewestwhatdoyouthinkaboutkanyewestwhatdoyouthinkaboutkanyewest

topics that never came up: how did you choose the tracklist for this album? when did you first notice [x] theme in your writing popping up a lot? what lessons did you learn about your craft while writing this album? these songs reference each other, was that intentional and which came first?

WHY DID THE HADESTOWN TIKTOK POST AN EPIC EDIT 😭

i think that, if youre usamerican and any time someone calls out your lack of knowledge on global geography you start talking about how bad the usa education is and how its actually not your fault that you dont know what continent nigeria is on because you cant look at the google maps bc donald trump will personally shoot you, youre very annoying

literally nobody is asking you to point them all on a blank map or know their capitals or count at least 3 major cities but there was someone in the notes who thought egypt was in eastern europe and someone who thought canada was on a separate continent from the usa. knowing sort-of where myanmar or bosnia or montenegro or somalia or laos are is literally the basic minimum and you cant even do that. if you think your knowledge of the georaphy is lacking instead of telling everyone on this site about how "they just didnt teach me that in school!" you can literally open the wikipedia list of countries and look at them. there are blank maps of continents online which you can use to practice. you can google "learn all the countries ever" and youll find a free flash game or some shit. "they didnt teach me that in school" jesus fucking christ

If you have Spotify reblog this and tag what your number one song on your “on repeat” playlist is.

“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”

Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.

Me getting slammed with notifications on this post in particular:

Americans will drive 15 hours, why the hell wouldn't we take a 15 hour train ride.

I don't need gold, don't need silver. Just bread when I'm hungry, fire when I'm cold. Don't need a ring for my finger. Just need a steady hand to hold. Don't promise me fair sky above. Don't promise me kind road below. Just walk with me, my love. Any way the wind blows.
