I need to learn the art of having inside thoughts actually.
babe you ok? you've been scrolling kurtsworld96 for an hour
Do you know where to stream sherlock holmes movies? (Not youtube)
I know there is a master list somewhere but cannot find it đ
Just to preface this, I think the master list you might be thinking of is The Giant List of Sherlock Holmes Adaptations by @beekeaper- it has links for tons of adaptations, although a lot of them are on YouTube so that may not work for you.
It depends on which movies you want to watch, but Internet Archive has a lot of Holmes movies for free:
Rathbone Holmes movies
Granada Holmes
The Seven Percent Solution
Howard Holmes
Wilmer Holmes
The Great Mouse Detective
Sherlock Hound
Internet Archive also has some amazing Sherlock Holmes radio dramas, including:
Rathbone Radio
Conway Radio (continuation of Rathbone with a new actor for Holmes)
Bert Coules/Clive Merrisson Radio
The Unopened Casebook of Sherlock Holmes
Outside of Internet Archive for Holmes movies/series, Amazon has The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes available for free with ads.
Tubi and PlutoTV also have a lot of Holmes movies for free with ads, including:
Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century
Sherlock Holmes 2010 (The one with the dinosaurs)
Incident at Victoria Falls
Sherlock Bones: Undercover Dog
Sherlock Gnomes
+ a bunch more that I've already listed elsewhere and a few made-for-TV movies no one's ever heard of that weren't funny enough to make the list.
I also highly recommend checking out @spiritcc's blog for a comprehensive list of where to watch various Russian Sherlock Holmes movies/series with English subtitles! This is by no means a comprehensive list because there's always more Holmes adaptations out there, but if you want to watch some of the best Holmes performances (or some of the really silly ones) for free, this list is a good place to start! If anyone knows where to stream other Holmes-related media for free, feel free to reblog and add to the list!

Ok now we have a booping feature I propose to tumblr next ides of March we have a stabbing counter and the person with the most stabs gets crowned Caesar and the blog with the most stabbings gets crowned Brutus
When I was younger, I hated my southern (USA) accent. I hated it because I was told that I sounded ignorant and because most people outside of Western movies didn't have thick southern accents and so it seemed like the people who said that the accent sounded uneducated or ignorant were correct. I began to cover it up to seem more "normal", and even got to a point where I would have to try to put the accent on if I wanted to have the southern sound. As I got older I realized that what people were saying was stupid and have felt stupid for wanting to change that part of me. Something worthy of note is that I will instinctively thicken my accent whenever comforting someone, getting angry, or talking to certain people. Upon further examination, so do most people who grew up in the South. I was curious as to why that was and decided to ask Google. The second that I began to search, I was met once again with "why do southern accents sound uneducated" and flat out "why do southern accents sound stupid". It's kind of sad for me to see people still do this to an accent that is so pretty and know that kids still will have to go through what I have.
SIGNING
Petition to bring back the boop function next year for the ides of March where instead of a paw on the screen itâs a little knife that Caesar gets stabbed with

Yeah Mr. Darcyâs proposal was a complete turd and a half but you gotta understand. You got your life together. A good career, stable income, retirement plan, all that shit together. And you meet this girl. And sheâs everything. Clever, outspoken, funny, calls you on your bullshit. Grade A cutie, right? And she doesnât go out of her way to spend time with you but sheâs nice, and sometimes you catch her looking your way in a way that makes you think you might have a shot.
But her family. Holy shit.
First off, itâs p much ALL women, and mostly UNMARRIED women, which at this time means of something happens to her dad then youâre financially responsible for like. Four grown ass adults, potentially forever
Because mom in law is DEFINITELY gonna need someone to take care of her when dad in law kicks it, and they have like. NO money. So already youâre accepting that if all goes well, youâre gonna be one random old bagâs retirement home. Thatâs expensive and exhausting, yeah? Imagine asking someone on a first date knowing that if they say yes and things go good her high-strung chihuahua mother is gonna move in with you. IMAGINE.
And girlyâs other sisters. Well, one is a sweetheart, yeah, so she probably wonât be an issue, but that still leaves three more, and two of those ones are INSUFFERABLE. Never went to school, dumb as rocks, spend cash like itâs toilet paper
And while one of the two is young still and might grow out of it the OTHER one is actively torpedoâing her entire familyâs reputation by wandering off with random dudes and chasing ass. Sheâs never gonna work, she canât build connections, sheâs a fucking sinkhole, and sheâs being led on by the same goddamn con man ass leeching tit whoâs been bleeding you dry while telling anyone whoâll listen that your family is full of ratty thieving bastards.
And if he dumps her after a week- WHICH YOU KNOW HIS BITCH ASS IS GONNA- youâve got a SECOND UNMARRIABLE GROWN ASS ADULT TO PROVIDE FOR. And you KNOW sheâs gonna be a tantrum-throwing little shit about it, and itâs not like you can lock her in the basement or something, youâre gonna have to bring her fucking. Everywhere. And give her an allowance and shit while she contributes zero, because again, she NEVER GOT EDUCATED AND HAS NO MARKETABLE SKILLS. Sheâs not even good to TALK to. FUCK
And youâre looking at this girlâs father like âplease for the love of fuck get your spawn under control, marry them off, get them working on their rĂ©sumĂ©, learning to sew or be nursemaids or manage staff or SOMETHING, yall got no money and one foot in the graveâ and that old man just laughs like âhaha yeah, what can you do. lolâ
So youâre looking to the mom and finally itâs making sense how she got that twitch in her eye and as MUCH as she is youâre starting to realize sheâs the SMART one, desperately throwing her armloads of girls at random men like theyâre a bunch of fucking lifeboats bobbing around a sinking ship, like yes Jesus Christ sweetly that life boat IS old and ugly and kind of boring but for FUCKS SAKE PICK ONE
And you look back at this girl who is ALSO REFUSING THE LIFE BOATS BY THE WAY and god damn it sheâs still the most radiant thing youâve ever seen so fine, fuck it, Christ alive, youâll do it. Youâll shoot your shot. Sheâs everything youâve ever wanted in anybody abut itâs not even just about that anymore, itâs about being her best fucking shot at a future, and even if she doesnât like you all that much sheâs still gonna say yes and that might break your heart a bit knowing itâs about the money but who knows, maybe it will at least be civil, or companionable, and even if she doesnât LOVE you at least youâll know sheâs well and cared for
And so youâll do it. Youâll take on the neurotic stress mess mother in law, the absent father, the broke ass wingnut no brain no money no future airhead sisters, the bad mannered relatives and the embarrassing behaviour and the impending future of sharing your entire shit with a clown parade of freeloaders, youâll risk it all and accept the absolute certainty of financial ruin and emotional exhaustion for the rest of your whole ass life and youâll make your own family deal with it too, youâll do it, youâll fucking DO IT, you stupid lovesick motherfucker
And so you go to this chick like âlook. Your whole familyâs a shitshow. Youâve got fucking nothing and youâre gonna die on the street. But for some reason- and I donât get it either- Iâve fallen in love with you, and I wish I didnât, but I did, so Iâm telling you that whether you like me or not, Iâll give you everything. Iâll give you everything even if itâs the dumbest shit I ever done. Fuck my stupid Baka ass, Iâll marry you.â
And she looks at you- having heard or considered absolutely none of your months-long internal debate and monologue- and goes âThe fuck did you just say about my family, you son of a bitch?â
And the shock of that is enough to jolt you back into a reality where you are able to actually hear and process what just came out of your damn mouth And yeah
Yeah, I think I kinda get it
Y'all I'm actually going insane over how effective the "was he slow" scene from Baby Driver is.
Hear me out.
The song that Baby makes isn't bad, I actually think it's enjoyable when he first makes it. Certain parts are a little odd, like using a recording of your boss but it's obvious when it comes to the composition that he kinda knows what he's doing.
The first scene where you interact with the song is the one in which he's actually creating it. He's having fun, creating his own beat and melody to go with it, and you begin to have a little fun too with the scene. It also feels like a very personal scene. The movie is showing you a side to Baby that most people haven't seen.
Which makes the "was he slow" scene that much worse.
When interacting with it the second time, Baby is incredibly upset and uncomfortable. He believes that his foster father has been killed in the process of getting the tapes, he has missed his opportunity to meet up with Deborah, and no one in the room trusts him. You can feel the tension in the room, and when it is disturbed by the song, the level of discomfort heightens. The team is laughing at him while his boss, who has been sampled for the song, who has kept him as a "lucky charm" since childhood, who can easily kill him or have him killed, simply looks on in disappointment.
What's insane about this scene to me is that the shame of this scene CONTINUES. For me, listening to the piece is still uncomfortable, no matter how long it's been since I've seen it.
Recently, years after the last time that I saw the movie, I was listening to the soundtrack while doing homework. The song came on. Instant pause. I thought I could push through it, after all it had been literal years.
I had to skip the song to be able to get any work done because it was STILL associating it with the second scene.
Well played, Mr. Wright.
Well played.
I would have followed you to the ends of the earth. To the very fires of Mordor.
