please use the original movie gif.
yours is cute, but I think everyone should me aware of that movie because it's a must watch for everyone.
After searching, I am now aware of the film "Freaks", from 1932. I'll have to take a watch
I always knew it from "South Park", assumed it was a reference to something else, and never inquired more until now
That being said; maybe just adding a disclaimer to check out the movie "Freaks" would be cool (for those who aren't aware of the origins). But I wouldn't always choose to use the "Original Movie Gif", because there's so many great variations
A disclaimer would be cool to encourage people to watch the original (just for 'learning purposes' at some point), but I wouldn't knock someone for not disclaiming it. I would probably just reply to them that "the original movie from where that came from is really worth watching"
Unless I watch it and the movie ends up being hot garbage... then I won't disclaim nor comment about it. Only time will tell, what my feelings will be after I give it a watch. Thank you though for the insight, cause I'm now excited to watch this old, crazy-seeming film. It looks good
i know, didn't mean to be pedantic, but didn't feel like writing an essay either.
that movie is amazing because how it fucks with any notion of ableism.
and the fact that they're are so many references about it is a testimony to it.
and I just want more people to find out and watch it.
Well ya got one, I have it saved to my watch list. Gonna see if I get time to watch it tonight. Plus it's a horror movie, and it's only like an hour long... perfect
please dm afterwards if you want to chat about it. although I'm in a hectic weekend and night be unable to reply immediately
