they were each other's first crush, idc

*Yes, Karen. Boys can be friends with each other without having romantic feelings*

It's not their case, though

The background was picked on Google, btw

Me eating up every movie/show where a group of teenage boys (12-18) ride bikes and kids are going missing/dying and there are usually kids named Finn, Eddie, Mike, and Robin and it’s set somewhere in the 70’s-80’s or 50’s

Rewatching “Stand By Me” and wishing i had a friendship like Gordie and Chris

Shout out to dysfunctional teenage friend groups from 80s movies, gotta be one of my favorite genders

i never had any friends later on like the ones i had when i was twelve. jesus, does anyone?

Graphic design is my passion and 80’s movies are my vice

idk what kind of drug they put into 80s movies but we need to bring it back

Ma’am your child is obsessed with decades old crime movies with homoerotic undertones

Review: Doraemon: Stand By Me (2014)

Rating: 7.8 of 10

Doraemon was a long running children's manga and anime series (first published in 1969!) that had been accompanying the lives of children all over the world. Doraemon was everywhere, on every lazy Sunday morning, everyone loved him, and there's just no way to review this film without nostalgia glasses of a former 6 year-old. It's just physically impossible. That said, here it is.

The movie started at the very beginning, from the first time Doraemon popped out of that desk drawer and introduced himself to Nobita. It was just such a thrill to see the whole thing from Doraemon's perspective and it doesn't count as a spoiler because it literally happened in the first 5 minutes)! The rest, for the ones who are familiar with the weekly premise of a Doraemon show, is history. Nobita found himself in some kind of trouble, cried for Doraemon's help, Doraemon gave him some advanced 22nd century gadget, Nobita exceled for a while but ended up in another kind of trouble. It is also no secret that the film ends with Doraemon having to say goodbye to Nobita and yes, there were tearjerking moments. I was sad for a while.

I have however, some issues with the movie, with time being the main one. In summing four decades of show history into just 90 minutes, there'll always be some things missing. Of course, the basic story of Doraemon was always deceivingly short and simple, but we grew up with him week-in and week-out for years and it's hard to beat that kind of familiarity. We were friends with Doraemon for 45 years, but Nobita (in this film) had just met him so why did he care? The gadgets and characters were familiar but there were just not enough time to explore the full extent of their friendship, and not enough time to soak it in, that the whole thing just felt rushed. Doraemon never felt like part of friends or family (Nobita's parents' reaction when they found out Doraemon had to go was basically, "Oh? OK."), and that is not good. Secondly, I don't think the character development was clear enough. Of course I don't want Nobita to suddenly turn into Dekisugi, but in the end I'm not even sure if Nobita learned anything at all because a lot of things revert back to status-quo. And the last thing (possibly nitpicking), I found the whole make-Shizuka-likes-Nobita mission is just a liiiiiiitle bit creepy. Just a little bit. I swear.

TL;DR But all in all it was fun, full of familiar characters and gadgets, undeniably heartfelt, and rightfully tearjerking. It was a shame that it felt so rushed.

Afterthought 1: The new 3D animation is only weird for 45 seconds. You'll get used to it.

Afterthought 2: I just find it refreshing to have time-travelling story with absolutely no paradox. Having seen plenty of time-travel movies, most of them have some issue with paradox, but not in Doraemon world!

Afterthought 3: I really, really wish this movie would skip the introduction part and begin right at the end (Pacific Rim-style) when Nobita and Doraemon have been friends for years. I think that would solve most of the problems this movie had, but I'm not a movie director for a reason.

Afterthought 4: The only reason I didn't cry during this movie was because I tried hard not to.

.imagine

Northern lights flicker over the sky, and down from the north sea blow a frozen wind... meanwhile on the northern train that is howling like a wolf under the moon light, going into a city. And the late night walks while the city sway in the cold. It’s when the great melancholy rolls in...what is love? can I feel it again?

Does anyone want to go on a Stephen king coming of age adventure with me?? We can fight a clown or we could find a dead body?? Your choice, I'm not picky

I watched Stand By Me last night and it gave me ALL KINDS OF ED EDD N EDDY FEELS. 

So, of course, I had to do a crossover. xD

Idk mate but I totaly agree

idk what kind of drug they put into 80s movies but we need to bring it back

Recently Allison and I watched the classic film Stand By Me. I don't want to ruin the plot for anyone who hasn't seen the movie but at a certain point the narrator says how he and the other boys felt better than they ever had before because "right then we knew exactly who we were and where we were going". Surprisingly it was at this point that I had a small epiphany.

I realized I had never felt this way before.

Never have I had something that consumed my whole life in that way. A goal that made me feel like I knew exactly what I had to do and why I had to do it. It made me a bit depressed but also made me realize that I was missing that one thing in my life.

The biggest question I need to ask myself now is what that one thing might be.

stand by me (1986)

Fuck! I can’t handle this... like young kiefer or older kiefer he sexy as hell! 😍 I been in love with him since I was a youngster! 💯 😍😍😍😍

Wow! Heart just stopped! Anyone else in love with kiefer??

→He can’t get enough of your cooking, you made him chocolate chip cookies once and he bragged about it so much he brought his friends over just to try more of your delicious cooking.

→ It being the 50s-60s interracial couples weren’t common especially in such a small town like castle rock, so when people make racist remarks he’s immediately ready to start a fight.

→ he loves watching you do your own hair, he honestly can’t get enough of tight coiley curls, when you went to the salon one time and came back with your hair blown out and straightened his distaste was apparent.

→ He loves when you call him cute pet names likes baby and pretty boy that made him melt in your hands.

nsfw ver ♡;

→He loves biting and giving you hickies, he wants everyone to know you belong to someone already, you had to wear turtle necks for almost two weeks. IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER.

→Ace loves having you ride him, the faces and noises you make him go crazy. He can’t help but smirk at the fact you were once a shy girl that used to tutor him and here you were now bouncing on his dick.

→He’s a dom 97% of the time

→He loves how deliciously sculpted your chest was, he honestly can’t get enough of your pretty perky nipples.
