There was an awesome piece somewhere on tumblr where Alexis & Sasha survived, and Alexis got them home by punching a shark and making it tow them home.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Found it! Alexis does not punch the shark, but he does ask Comrade Squid for directions (Comrade Squid is not so helpful): [link]

Though Comrade Squid is apparently very affectionate.

Comrade Squid! Those comics are part of my headcanon for Pacific Rim, because THE RUSSIANS HAVE TO LIVE.
(Actually, I think they do survive somehow in the novelization. I seem to remember hearing about that.)
Jilli is in charge of assigning movie directors and actors from now on.
I am okay with this. Do I get replicas of costumes from these movies? Because that would be even better.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
There's this comic of the Russians, too: [link] I love fans.

I think Requiem for a Dream is a great movie. Not a movie I ever want to see again, but great. I haven't seen anything by Aronofsky since that one, but The Wrestler got excellent reviews, didn't it?

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

Hey. New board.
Pi was formative for me but is probably not great as a movie. I'm not sure Requiem holds together as a great movie but it is great at doing what it wants to do, which is freak you out and depress you. Both are brilliantly directed in terms of their scenes so I see that argument based on that sample.

Which one, Tom? I did go see, Finding Vivian Maier, and I thought it was really well done—how they slowly let out the secrets of her life. I'm thinking way more about her than her photographs now. And I don't know if I wished it was more about her pictures....

Also, I work with someone , G, who is very much like Vivan Maier. (secretive, lies about personal details of her life, estranged from family, wears big overcoats all year round, suspicious of men to the extent where she wears a fake wedding riing to keep men away.) In describing the film to one of my former coworkers today, she brought up G. before I could even mention all the similarities.
