This movie is so historical romance stuff but it’s more like
Carey mulligan rejects men who keep offering her pianos because, well, she has a piano and she doesn’t need men.
Can we talk about Miss Giddy for a minute? Yeah, Miss Giddy. The elderly woman who takes care of Angharad and Cheedo and Capable and Toast and the Dag. Can we talk about Miss Giddy telling them about what life was like in the Old Days? Can we talk about Miss Giddy with tiny script tattoos all over her body? Can we talk about Miss Giddy taking care of Angharad and Cheedo and Capable and Toast and the Dag and knowing what’s happening to them, what’s being done to them? Can we talk about Miss Giddy being aware of the wretchedness of the hypermasculine world they’re trapped in? Can we talk about Miss Giddy being complict in the escape plan–or, really, straight-up being an accomplice in the escape plan? Can we talk about how all that went down with her involved–gladly involved? Can we talk about fucking badass Miss Giddy standing there in that elegant prison with a double-barrel shotgun loaded and ready and totally knowing that eventually Joe’s gonna put it all together and burst in there in a rage? Can we talk about Miss Giddy knowing that she would have to face him down in that moment? Can we talk about Miss Giddy knowing that she would be the first to confront him after the escape? Can we talk about Miss Giddy being fully fucking ready to blow his head off with said shotgun because she’s got her own share of rage? Can we talk about her confronting him head on? Can we talk about Miss Giddy telling him to his face (relatively speaking) that “They are not your property!” Can we talk about how she put herself in danger so they could escape and stood up to the Big Bad with her shotgun and her sheer nerve and nearly got him? Can we talk about Miss Giddy? Can wE TALK ABOUT MISS GIDDY???
Shipwrecked is pleased to present a companion prequel episode to A Tell Tale Vlog, Socially Awkward Poe’s Tell Tale Birthday
From the writing vlog archives of Edgar Allan Poe, in which his neighbor Annabelle Lee drops by to wish him a happy birthday. The team at Shipwrecked would also like to extend our belated birthday wishes to Mr. Poe, and hope his next year is better than the last.
(Mr. Poe would like you to know that the events of this video took place well before those documented within A Tell Tale Vlog.)
