you know what. I think I should be allowed to temporarily turn into a seal and go swimming around in the ocean for a while. just submit a little note to work that says "sorry, I need to take some sick time, I am becoming a seal" and leave for a week

#I mean #my neighbours' blocked drain is inadvertently watering half my garden with grey water #but still I would appreciate some real rain #(and also someone coming to fix their drain because it does Not smell good in the heat)

when one day I slip from the silks to my ultimate demise, I should like my headstone to read, 'I told them I was sweaty'

one adaptational choice I *did* enjoy was keeping Carruthers largely out of sight until he arrives all unaware for his Horrible Boat Time, and then doing the slow pan up from his very shiny shoes to his impeccable travelling clothes to his floppy hair. behold! we've hired Michael York and he's playing a posh idiot!

#the best part of the book *is* the stretch where Carruthers is reconciling himself to the fact that he's prepared for Posh Idiot Yachting #and has instead got Davies and his Horrible Boat #(they make the Dulcibella look pretty nice in the film but I think this is the boat equivalent of Hollywood Ugly)#rots

Hey guys you should totally get into this thing i like. Yeah it's mid at best. It also aged poorly. You'll get nothing out of it at all. You'll like the idea of it more than the actual thing. But at least only takes half your natural lifespan to finish it

OTHER THINGS WENT FARTHER???

#constantly holding them up to people like marge simpson's potato #raffles

anyway, that's enough of making low-effort gifs for a film very few people have seen

goodnight

#I like how in this one you can see him sink a few inches into the mud after he lands #filmed on location babey!!

look, I am sad that Carruthers' week of How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love This Horrible Boat got compressed to like. half a scene. but hey. vicarious tiller handholding. we make do with what we've got

#in every scene in which Carruthers is wearing something non-ridiculous we do have to wonder if he's borrowing Davies' clothes #or maybe his portmanteau does contain an infinite number of surprisingly sensible jumpers. along with the white leather shoes on lasts.#and the jaunty little nautical number he first appears in.#rots #riddle of the sands

sinni-ok-sessi

anyway, Riddle of the Sands is a great film (in certain specific ways)

#I do unironically enjoy a mudflat #rots

anyway, god I would like to be on a boat again

thoughts on the Riddle film: they didn't have to give us all that (Carruthers face down in the mud not once but twice; tender shirtless forehead sponging; the tiller scene), but also. they didn't have to give us all that :( (relentlessly heterosexual opening; baffling and ooc ending; Davies' moustache)

#cannot forgive the filmmakers for what they did to the dulcibella >:(#however. michael york was a very good carruthers and I yearn to photoshop him into the cabin boy jumper from that 'I'm a luxury #few can afford' knitting book #johanna lucretia was of course lovely
