Got Stuck On This One.. I Just Wanna Play With Textures

I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.

My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813

And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like

... @exdeputysonso in here with the facts! They made a beautiful gifset of this movie.

I'm also thinking about Escape From Witch Mountain (1995), which seems to exist solely as Disney Channel bootlegs, including one with pop-up ads in Russian for other Disney material.

My friend thought they'd be clever and buy a DVD off eBay. Turns out there's a 1975 original version with the same name and no Dourif. Sure glad I'm not that friend, or I'd be out $8.79 plus shipping.

RELEASE THE LUTHER CUT

That little straw boater will be the death of me

- Pics grabbed from this amazing collection from @tallaxia 🫡

- no offense to the dvd rippers, I'm pretty sure they released this one in 480p...

Yes the OP had a pithy message but I've got a one-track mind rn:

I know there are people who don't think Brad Dourif is hot, but I've only talked to one and their resolve crumbled in the face of the Istanbul (1985) car scene

There are lots more Pretty Moments in there, but Istanbul (1985) car scene is burned into my brain matter like the indelible brand of Cain

no one is immune.

(btw this movie is very upsetting please watch at your own risk)

There was this guy in the 1800s - I can't remember his name, but his name is recorded somewhere - who honestly argued that if given the choice between a beautiful woman and a heron, deep down in their most earnest true heart, every man would rather fuck the heron. And he got mad when people denied this, continuing to deny this what he had decided must be an universal truth, instead of praising him for being the only one who was brave enough to finally say it out loud. Like he really thought that every single person telling him "Jesse what the hell are you talking about" was not only denying him, but denying themselves their true desires and perpetuating the apparently massive cultural lie that herons aren't fuckable.

Anyway what I'm saying here is that every once in a while whenever you find yourself in a situation where nobody else is willing to agree with something that you consider the most obvious truth, take a moment to meditate on the possibility that perhaps they do mean what they say, and perhaps they are right. Maybe nobody else but you wants to fuck the heron.

Oh damn, I think your posts are why I started drawing Brad Dourif characters as religious art guys! By the time I got anywhere with it, I guess I forgot. Thanks for the inspiration 😘

Draw your babygirl like Satan, Lord of the Damned!

Whoever is responsible for BD's silvery curls in Best Men, I salute you 🫡

There's like a two-toned thing going on: frizzy brown tendrils in the front and well-defined metallic lushness in the back. Possibly a rare sighting of the molting phase? Young Brad's hair is more fluffy and light brown, Elder Brad's is more black and silver. In other stuff from 1997-ish, it's usually brushed back so harder to tell. (Discuss.)

In this movie, he did a weird croaky voice the whole time and had lots of sexual tension with this other ex-soldier guy. A+

the girlies, hades style

VALIDATION!! THis is what I’m TALKIN about, Jack and Raimi totally had Vibes. I gave them a moment in my Death Machine music video and knowing that he CHOSE to push Brad against the wall with that finger on his mouth is giving me the absolute vapors.

what movies are these shots from? and if you'd have the time to make a full list of the movies in the Boys edit that'd be nice. carry on brad dourif warrior 🫡

Here are your answers :v I've updated the Boys hottie supercut video with a full list as well! Thanks for the push.

1. Tales of the Unknown, episode “Number Eight”

2. Istanbul! The infamous movie where brad plays someone with a really awful secret, but is also incredibly stupidly impossibly gorgeous

3. Moonlighting TV show episode, we love a tortured priest

4. Trauma: he’s only onscreen for a few minutes, but he makes them count

Brad Dourif movie bingo! For your thirstwatch Halloween marathon.

Don't remember whether I came up with "Dourisms" or saw it somewhere else, but there are SO MANY and so few squares on a bingo board! Reducing them to tiny phrases is another challenge; I might do some follow-up posts with gifs illustrating each column. (Surely not an excuse to dig through the media pile again...)

What are your favorite little Brad flourishes?
