I love Waterparks <3 that’s all thank you

so one thing I really like about The Last of Us is how they're using jump scares. more specifically, how they're not using them.

because there are so many moments where a jumpscare can easily be slotted in for a cheap and easy reaction, but they never really go for that. moments where there is a sudden sound, its always something like an object being stepped on or something other than the actual scary monsters. and those sudden sound don't ever immediately translate into a sudden scare

instead, they draw out the scary shit so much. they show you so many glimpses of clickers and the scene drags on before it finally jumps out. by then you know its going to happen. even when Joel steps on glass while they're trying to sneak off, the clicker doesn't immediately jump out. they give you a few seconds to process what happened and realize what it means and THEN it jumps out

like it really shows you how much care they're putting into the tone and the building of tension by how they just flat out refuse to resort to cheap moves during scary scenes, and its really effective imo. because they don't give you the release of the scary thing popping up and being done with it. dragging it out makes it so much more anxiety inducing

oh taylor swift i adore you

watching ranboo speed-read the notes in the last of us is what I imagine it sounds like to not know english

pedro pascal has/has had an incredibly fascinating career and I’d love to hear him talk more about what draws him to certain roles or what his process looks like but all interviewers seem to be able to do is to beg him to call himself daddy and ask him if he watches edits of himself
