Star Trek: Enterprise. Behind the scenes. North Star
yeah
okay guys, we need to talk about a movie called Big Eden
It’s about this dude Henry who’s an artist living in New York,
and he has to go back to his hometown in Montana to take care of his grandfather who just recently had a stroke and is wheelchair-bound.
Things are all fine and dandy until Henry finds out that his old best friend from high school, as well as object of his unrequited affections that he’s never really been able to let go of is also back in town. His name is Dean. He’s there with his two sons to recoup from a recent divorce from his wife.
Henry is extremely frazzled by seeing his long-time crush after so many years, but they spend a lot of time together over the passing weeks and seem to fall into their old friendship very easily. Perhaps a little too easily….??? hmmm???
And with everything with Dean happening, Henry can’t be blamed that he’s entirely oblivious to Pike, the man who runs the local general goods store.
It’s obvious to us (and the whole damn town) that Pike’s been head over heels for Henry since high school, but is painfully shy. He can barely talk to Henry at all and it’s the cuTEST GODDAMN THING oh lord help me from this movie.
Throughout the movie, Pike can’t seem to help himself from wanting nothing more than to make Henry happy from afar. He’s supposed to be delivering food cooked by one of the older ladies in town to Henry and his grandfather’s house to eat every night, but Pike cooks his own, exceptionally better meals, and delivers those instead and tells no one.
Now, Henry does notice Pike, and something about him catches his attention. Even if he doesn’t understand why yet. He tries to invite him to stay for dinner almost every night in an attempt to get him to open up, but Pike only becomes more closed off when he notices what’s going on between Henry and Dean.
I’ll stop there, as I don’t want to give the whole thing away, but I can’t leave this without talking about the town’s residents in this movie. This place is 100% one of those little towns where everyone knows each other as well as their business, you have nosy little old ladies, dudes who do nothing all day but sit on the porch of the corner store and smoke a pipe, and they all go to church on Sundays.
AND YET, not only is this movie void of any homophobia from any character, basically the whole freaking town is all up in this whole love triangle. They support Pike so much that there’s even scenes where they all play matchmaker with him and Henry. They root for them in the goofiest, most loveable way.
SO BASICALLY, this is a silly romantic comedy, except gay. It’s all super lighthearted comedy with tiny bits of drama thrown in. No one dies!!!! No one is killed or commits suicide and has a 100% happy ending!!! The three main guys are just normal guys!!! There’s not a stereotype to be found here!! anD ONE OF THEM IS NATIVE AMERICAN. No seriously guys it hurts me that not everybody knows about this movie. I discovered it when I was in middle school in our video store’s tiny little LGBTQ section, and must have rented it 20 times throughout the years before I finally bought it. I know this movie almost frame by frame I’ve watched it so many times because it’s just so disgustingly cute and always makes me happy. NOW, this movie isn’t perfect. It’s got some clunky acting, weird.. I guess artsy moments that don’t make sense, and crosses into the line of cheesy quite a few times, BUT, that’s really not important. This is treated exactly as if it were a het romantic comedy. Their being gay has nothing to do with the overall story, and is never brought up save for a small plotline where Henry is guilty with himself for never coming out to his grandfather. But overall, more LGBTQ movies need to be like this, it’s just way too rare.
GO WATCH IT YOU’LL BE GLAD YOU DID. Sadly, the only way I know to get ahold of it is to just buy the DVD. But it’s fairly cheap on Amazon! And even cheaper if you buy it used on there, but either way I promise it’s worth it to own. Like I said, I think I kept our video store in business from my renting it so many times.
Oh, and I hope you enjoy country music to some extent because this has the countriest soundtrack of all time.
Eatvolve is an addictive little action platformer in which you eat other creatures to take on their characteristics as you work your way up the food chain.
Star Trek: DS9 Notes - Season 3, Vol. 1
Like a fabulous mullet, this post is gonna be business in front, party in the back.
BUSINESS. Throughout this Star Trek Trek, I’ve been reporting on the episodes I’ve watched. These posts have taken the form of bullet-pointed live-blog-style notes, short prose-form write-ups, and 2-ish Tarra-traditional recaps. Mostly thought it has been the notes, because the notes are way easiest, as I can just scatter out thoughts as I’m watching, do one focusing pass, and we’re good to go! My inclination is to stay in note mode as I continue to watch Deep Space Nine, which I love very much and want to talk about, as because I love it very much I think I’m going to be watching 98% of the rest of the episodes (business point 2!) and to do write-ups or, god, recaps for that many episodes would be much the undertaking.
So I guess this is a functional Announcement that I will continue to deliver a Complete Notes Experience of my DS9 thoughts, for what that is worth!
Business point 3, but 1st in my heart: I just want to thank again and publicly @theglintoftherail, @memory-for-trifles, and @rainbowrites for their infectious DS9 enthusiasm and on-point episode recommendations, without which we would not be where we are today <3 <3
PARTY. Tarra watches DS9 3x01-3x04!
And ANOTHER “Tarra Treks” – this one covers “The Search,” “House of Quark,” and “Equilibrium.”

Sometimes I wonder why non English speakers are like this
because it’s a funny harmless joke at the expense of the world’s current lingua franca, whose native speakers often make fun of the ‘weird’ accents and pronounciation of people who very likely speak at least one more language then they do.
