Things I'm filtering out are basically things with conclusions, and I will! Return with new tags at some point!! But I'm also still working my way through my inbox, so.

Establishing this plurk partially to proclaim that I keep thinking of Shaq trying to eat a hot chip in parallel with this thread

Just been thinking about it for days, thanks.

I hadn't seen that, and I am greatly amused.

help i love them

"ah. COUGH."

He got too cocky.

aramis's idiocy is scandal. porthos's idiocy is just plain ol' getting his shit rocked.

I am also finally reading The Three Musketeers after many ages of meaning to, and it's very funny.

LOL

Athos: Bad at gambling but very responsible.
Porthos: Ultimate Sugar Baby
Aramis: First of all, LAME. Second of all, suuuure he's off to study. 😉

Me thinking of book Athos when I read that thread with Porthos taking him to cheat at cards. This man is terrible.

Accidental accuracy, lol.

I mean I now must lean into this. Here I would have thought he’d be good since he’s so stoic rip

he's too chill and honest maybe, haha. just a straight-faced "oop you got me."

Anyway if you feel like reading I thus far recommend the book. I haven't seen every adaptation, naturally, but I feel like there are few to none that lean into how goofy this is.

Maybe older ones? idk.

Anyway I would like to continue my way through my inbox today and work's been quiet (for better and for worse), so.

I've only seen the BBC one, the newest French film, and Man in the Iron Mask from the 90s. But I feel like the older ones embraced more silly/satire.

1948 D'Artagnan

1973 Athos

1979 Porthos & Aramis from a Russian film

The only thing I remember about the 1993 movie is oliver platt porthos being silly.

It checks out.

literally i didn't even remember there was a character named D'Artagnan in it. until i looked up where D'Artagnan was fom.

I am crying

The versions I saw most before BBC, when they were old.

I vaguely remember this version and the one with chris o'donnell

Man in the Iron Mask with baby Leo Decaprio and fuckin' John Malkovich.

I'll have to find some of the older ones.

Something something modern movies/shows want to take themselves very seriously.

if i remember correcntly one of the more modern ones involved... air ships?

which i just wonder how serious that could be

Yeah, there was like. A steampunk one semi-recently? Lmao.

I think I saw the first one, and there might have been a second? And I'm tempted to try it again now that I'm in this silly little place and weighing things brainlessly.

you still gotta do the french one even though it's serious, it has cannon bisexual porthos

and is truly worth it just for that

I believe it was in the slow-motion-moment action movie era.

he compares sex and foox.

I started it! I still have to finish.

your poor husband wondering where this came from

Again, I appreciate how dirty everyone looks. Just a bedraggled bunch.

lmao I've told him I'm under the influence of internet friends!! And I have always enjoyed a lil swashbuckle anyhow.

Nightcrawler does feel obvious gateway drug to swashbuckling

Chicken and egg, haha. Peter Pan and Robin Hood were my favorites when I was baby. But definitely a gateway into, like... Here's a specific list of further media!

Always love a little sword guy.

Another dumb clip getting stuck in my brain because of fun funny thread.

cassiopeia.
