Is she... reading a sheet of aluminium foil?
It's kind of a mirror, to concentrate more of that cancer beam on your skin
Mhmm yesss, concentrated cancer.
"I damaged my skin to induce melanin production. Look how attractive I am!"
It's a tanning reflector.
But she is playing a witch in that role, so I guess it could be a magical magazine only they can read lol
It's a reflector for tanning.
What movie/show is this?
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Thank you!
Oh my fucking god I never noticed that was her!
Way early in her career she was in a movie called Love Serenade that I happened to watch. Her acting was excellent. Glad to see her career thrived.
That looks great.
Faramir got the best deal out of everyone
Éowyn got a good deal too. Faramir was a decent fellow, at least in the books. They changed his character a bit for the worse in the movies.
Book Faramir is the man I aim to be
I actually even really liked movie Faramir as a flawed and conflicted hero in the (extended, of course) movies. His guerilla rangers when we first see him are just awesome in a Robin Hood kind of way.
Faramir is one of my favorite non-Fellowship characters, because while they feel like who we might aspire to be, Faramir feels like who we might actually be. I haven't met him in the book yet. :)
He really really struggles with his limited knowledge and the sway of the ring, as his brother did, as we might in his shoes. Also he's so tragically short-changed his entire life, but he's still trying to be noble and do what's best for his people. He struggles between being noble vs. the more convenient path of being the pragmatically "gray moral" that's so in vogue in storytelling these days.
The hardest part is watching him keep trying to impress a father who obviously hates him. We've all watched people do that again and again in toxic relationships, if it wasn't us ourselves. We shout at the screen "WHY, MAN?!" but we get it...
If anything against him, I was a little upset that he let his personal feelings convince him to drag his loyal and trusting men-at-arms into an obviously bone-headed suicide rush out of despair. The moment was tragic and poetic, brilliant storytelling, but tactically...
...he didn't get to use any of his strengths. If he took his rangers to Osgiliath in the dead of night like spec-ops, sniping orcs from the shadows, they might have fared very well before the Nazgul showed up.
Then again, perhaps Sauron's forces are more adept in the darkness...and of course, even if he retook the city against all odds, his dad would still disparage him. :(
