@jamesgunn.bsky.social it might be the flu I’ve got, but the shot of him saving that girl from the explosion had me tearing up. This looks so good and celebratory, and full of hope. I wish you all the success!!

Morpheus: You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. me (42 years old): which one is ibuprofen

The Hunt | She wanted an opulent Moscow palace that could remind her of home back in Damascus. He wanted a pied-à-terre on a low floor with no windows and a built-in Geiger counter. Which did they choose?
