Is that movie finally coming out? I first saw the trailer at least a year ago, and last I heard, it was delayed indefinitely.
Buffy: Synchronized slaying. Faith: New Olympic category?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'm pretty sure my mail mentions more female characters with speaking roles and fewer succubi. But then, I don't talk about LARPing either, so their algorithm probably rules me right out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Interesting. I'm finding a surprisingly large number of people who didn't notice Gary was wearing a hospital ID band in that late shot in World's End.

it was a quick shot. it wasn't so much the band, but that both wrists were bandaged. Which I noticed specifically.

But I think it was a lot the hospital/institution band-- because that is what told me that the bandages were very important, and not to be misread.
I've found one person so far who missed the former, and thought (therefore?) the latter were to conceal track marks.
I think the institution information drives home that they signal self-inflicted harm.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I agree, ita. I thought they were hard to miss.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ita, for someone who has been using drugs/alcohol for as long as Gary was supposed to, he wouldn't need his wrists for track marks. He'd be using between his toes, etc. It never crossed my mind that he was trying to conceal track marks. You wouldn't need bandages to do anyway. His coat was doing that well enough.

It wasn't *me* that thought that. Just pointing out the direction that people who didn't notice everything can go down, and at least one did. Not everyone is expert in IV drug addiction or suicide attempts, as they pointed out.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I wasn't arguing with you! Just responding. note: I am not even close to being an expert in addiction or suicide attempts. I'm not sure I'm even reasonably informed. Just noting that even if you only noticed the bandages on the wrist (at that late stage in the movie), it is out of character for Gary to give a fuck if his friends know he has been using drugs.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
