rbins:

Thursday night October 25th, a Fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) stranded on the coast of De Haan (Belgium). This is the second largest mammal species living on earth! It is the first of his kind to strand in Belgium since 1997. Experts of the universities of Ghent and Liège and of our Institute (@rbins) took samples to investigate the presence of virusses and bacteria, heavy metals and other pollutants.

It was a male of 18m. The reason of death is yet to be determined, but the animal clearly lost a lot of weight, with fatty tissue layer of only 3 cm; usually this is about 10 cm. The cadaver has been cleared and is brought to a company who will process it to be used in biodiesel and biomass plants.

Venom reaction post!

  • Good music, but I’m discounting the eminem credits rap 
  • Loved Tom Hardy
  • Loved Tom Hardy being pulled around by the sym
  • But even so, that car chase scene took…too long…
  • What even is SF? RIP anyone living there and going about on foot or by bike
  • another movie suffering from bad pacing
  • what the hell was with that fucking Pic Collage montage??? 
  • Great actors all around actually. Except maybe the little girl, but hey, child actors.
  • Dan the man, I stan.
  • Cut the chase scene, give me more symbiote going “wait… I’m a Loser on my planet… Here I can be .. some One… with this guy… and nommies…”, more character development 
  • The geography really confused me. Idk how SF works (see above), but … there’s city.. and forest?? Huge institute?? all extremely close to eachother?
  • Which also made the quad chase scene funny to me, because they kept cutting back to these quads like “IMMEDIATE THREAT!!! RUN EDDIE!!!”but they were miles away? And then they weren’t? Confus
  • “hey eddie your entire heart is atrophied so I guess your parasite is keeping you alive? Oh there he goes. Oh you’re still standing?”
  • It’s not gay if your alien parasite is bonded with a girl
  • What even is this movie? Like, it’s bad. Not horrible, but bad. And yet. I Feel why people are drawn to it and I’m scrolling through the tag myself. How does that work??
  • Anyway, I had a lot of fun (also helps if you’re the only two people in the cinema so you can laugh and cuddle as much as you want), but they should have gotten a better editor
  • the cat lived! Venom 1, Shape Of Water -200 on the Koni Monster Fucker Movie List
