Though “Hellfire” from The Hunchback of Norte Dame is banging also

Yea. Also big on Gaston the song. Though I'm not convinced that he's the villain in the movie at all.

100% agreed, Gaston is not a villain.

Copy and pasting this explanation I read elsewhere:

So, you're Gaston now.

Yeah, you're an entitled, arrogant, misogynistic douche. Okay, fine. You're still alpha as fuck and this Belle girl decides she's not going to marry you.

What the hell? Doesn't she know anything about how society works? She does not get to say that to you, the best provider in the entire town.

Okay, so her nutcase dad comes over while you're drinking away your sorrows because his daughter rejected you. He's lost his mind. What's this about about a beast kidnapping Belle? Had him too? What a lunatic. He's always been crazy, but this is just over the top psychopath level shit now.

So, seeing as you're a douchebag, you decide to get her dad shipped away to a mental hospital. But hey, if she marries you you can fix it. Not really a nice thing to use leverage on, but it wasn't like Maurice wasn't a crazy fucker to begin with. I know it, you know it, we all know it. This would be for the best. Maybe they can treat him.

So Belle runs up while they're taking her dad acting like you just sentenced him to fucking death. "NO! I REALLY WAS KIDNAPPED BY A BEAST! HERE! LOOK AT HIM!"

...

Holy shit.

... What ... but... I... How...

WAIT

FUCK

THIS ... THING ... LIVES IN THE WOODS AND IS KIDNAPPING PEOPLE!

MAYBE -- JUST MAYBE -- KILLING IT WOULD NOT BE A TOTALLY IRRATIONAL THING TO DO!

So yeah, maybe Gaston is a jackass. That doesn't make him a villain though. Plenty of people are jackasses. He was perfectly justified in just about everything he did. Belle's dad is crazy. Having an unknown monster creeping around kidnapping people in the woods is a bad thing.

He doesn't say anything wrong in his entire song to the villagers about why they should kill the Beast based on what Maurice told them.

TL;DR KILL THE BEAST

GASTON DID NOTHING WRONG

Never read this before - but it basically encompasses my thoughts. Dude sees a literal monster kidnap a girl and her father. WTF is he supposed to do.

Wow you guys. Gaston the villian!

speculadora · 02-21-2018, 12:48 PM

Gaston got cucked by the beast, clearly not an alpha

Figured I'd bump this. Anyone seen First Man? It's pretty good

Hoping to see it soon. Saw "A Simple Favour" a few days ago. Was really close to being a good thriller but it went a different direction and kinda fell apart.

Movies out right now that I want to see:

Venom
A Star Is Born
First Man
Bad Times at El Royale

Movies coming soon that look great:

Bohemian Rhapsody
The Girl in the Spider's Web
Fantastic Beasts sequel
Widows
Robin Hood
Creed 2
Green Book

Don’t agree with the whole list but 100% agree with ‘A Simple Favor’. Really weird choices at the end. It kind of played itself I think.

Trying to figure out when I can watch El Royals and Star in the next few days.

I’m kind of a hipster level cunt when it comes to movies so I am decidedly not looking forward to Robin Hood. Never heard of Windows, or Green Book so I’ll have to check those out right now.

EDIT: I just realized it says Widows not Windows. I’m dumb. Yea that one looks interesting.
EDT2: Now that I looked up Green Book I realized I saw that trailer last night watching First Man. Looks really good.
