Just Noticed That Mr. 104's Shirt Is Decorated With The Periodic Table. What A Dork.

So I was trying to explain to my boyfriend, who has absolutely NO knowledge of Doctor Who might I add, some of my theories/evidence gathering. I pose it now to the theorists of DW Tumblr in the hopes you can use any of it.

(This is about the episode list that rtd said might be worth a watch before the finale btw)

Also after reading all of that the first thing he had to say was that Susan might be a version of Clara.

I just watched the funniest movie of my life. It's called The Fly (1986) on ×2 speed.

Edit:

Dude, I would be so pissed if someone threw up on my leg and it disentrigrated. What do you mean your vomit is acid and I've just lost my hand and leg. Fuck you dude.

Researching the more vague and supernatural aspects of Doctor Who in order to neatly sort them is definitely an experience.

Thank God for TARDIS wiki I guess, but this was mostly from memory and then whatever a few related links brought me.

So i finished Invincible...

Patrick Troughton (Jason and the Argonauts)—He's really good as a man beknighted by harpies whose immediate first reaction to being beknighted by harpies is to stuff as much bread down his shirt as possible. I won't mention his other roles (though im thinking about them. hard) and i just want to say everything about him is just a little guy, a tiny little little man, a man here for hopes and dreams and frivolity (but dont fuckin cross him you will get yoinked!!!!)

Giulietta Masina (La Strada, Fortunella, Nights of Cabiria)—To me, she is the DEFINITION of scrungly little guy, always, but especially in La Strada. She is hilarious, adorable and heartbreaking all in one. She was born in a wet cardboard box all alone. She is the slapstick clown woman of my dreams. She gets called an "ugly artichoke" TWICE in that film (not true, very brutal, but quite funny - she's the wife of the director too, might I add). Her face is so brilliant, no one ever emoted like she did. She is Pierrot Hot, simple as. Gif of the exact moment I fell in love with her upon first seeing this film, if you wanna include it: [link]

Giulietta:

She's Italian, isn't that enough? No? Fine. She also won two Cannes film awards and is best known for her character in La Strada, in which she played a young woman who fell in love with her captor and witnessed the cruelty of humanity, but still never really lost her child-like spirit.

Masina has a wonderful impish, scrungly quality to her that made her perfect for her iconic Sad Clown type roles. She got tons of comparisons to Chaplin (who despite being handsome, certainly *played* scrungles) and goddamn if they aren’t true. Like yes, she’s obviously beautiful when glammed up, but even in promotional photos, Masina always has this weirdo quality to her. I could see her playing a strange little goblin sidekick to Columbo as he solves a murder in Italy. Even in Nights of Cabiria, where she’s ostensibly playing an object of desire, Masina carries herself with a gait usually reserved for old crones and character actors, (which only makes her yearning for happiness more tragic!).

Patrick:

My poor boyfriend didn't know what hit him.

"Yeah, I actually really liked the few episodes you showed me. What are some more episode's you'd suggest?"

Say no more my love.

(Kinda kidding, but since it's spring break next week I can show him more than 4 episodes so I'm trying to narrow them down)

For day two of the JSA Week:

The Original Red Tornado! (And her ugly fucking child sidekicks. Not a fan of those two)

Love Ma Hunkel and her... unique costume. I also love how loaded her character is in terms of gender expression and identity. Obviously that probably wasn't their originally goal in 1940, but she is one of the first "cross dressing" superheroes. I think that's carried on in her story and expanded on as we progress. And if it's not, it should be.
