call me old fashioned but boycotting an indie movie for using 3 frames of ai generated images and disregarding the actual people who took the time to work on the other 99% of the movie is the most karen shit i’ve ever seen. and you all complain that we only ever get sequels and reboots

[noobcinephile]

the most acceptable version yessss

so I've been thinking again about Late Night With the Devil and how it completely drops its documentary-style narrative device after the intro and never comes back to it once, which makes the whole thing feel a little unfinished to me. Here's how I would have fixed it :

in the last act, as Lily's head splits open, the footage of the night show abruptly ends as if it was corrupted

the documentary narrator explains that : this is the last footage of that night that was captured, as the crew and the public fled no one knows exactly what happened in that room, all that's left is Jack's testimony after he was found surrounded by Gus, Carmichael, Dr June and Lily's dead bodies with his hand-prints all over the weapon that killed Lily

we get an ending sequence to the documentary that shows newspaper articles about Jack's arrest for the murder of Lily and the producer's arrest too. we learn from the narrator that this documentary is set like 3 or 4 years into the future and the trial is finally taking place after a loooong investigation. we learn that the producer killed himself and that there are conspiracy theories about the show being entirely faked by him bc he was greedy and wanted to save Jack's career and make money but it got out of hand because Lily was genuinely criminally insane and went on a rampage and Jack had to stop her in self defense

the documentary ends on this worrying note : "The gentleman's club Jack was a part of denied all allegations that deals with devils were taking place there. The police was not able to prove that they were involved in any way in the events of that night. They are still operating to this day."

end credits of the documentary

15 seconds into the end credits of the documentary they cut abruptly

black screen

suddenly we're back in the studio at the exact moment where Lily's head splits open and everybody is screaming and running away but now instead of the footage getting corrupted the aspect ratio visibly shifts from the grainy 4:3 format of tv to the perfectly neat 2.35:1 panavision format of diegetic reality. We get to see the truth that the people in this world will never see.

the rest is the same as the ending in the current movie. we end on Jack realizing he stabbed Lily and going "Dreamer, here. Awake..." on repeat

Absolutely stunning movie, probably the best animation from Ghibli to date, and that's saying a lot. That being said, the story...wasn't all there. It was long and meandering, and things just kinda happened and kept happening. There is a lot to process, and I still don't think I fully understood everything. I get that most Ghibli movies are like that to an extent, but even this felt extreme. I'm sure if I thought about it more and did some research I would come to have a greater appreciation for it. I don't really feel like doing that though, because despite all that, I still did really enjoy the movie. I may not have understood a lick of what was happening, but it still appealed to me on a level that even I don't think I understand.

in my defense your honor, i just want to be a smol kitten and give up this adulting shit.

[noobcinephile]

who suffered more: Jesus Christ (died on the cross) or me (I just want a lil kiss)

[noobcinephile]

the reason i love tumblr so much is because there are so many insane, alienated , delusional silly little teenage girls who are obsessed with lana del rey and fashion just like me that validate my existence as a crazy b!tch

[noobcinephile]

girls will casually tell you the most traumatic backstory known to man and finish it off with "it's whatever though i don't really care"

wwdits really went from 'vampires don’t care for their familiars at all and will never turn them' to 'it's the greatest humiliation for a vampire to have their familiars get turned by another to the point they have to commit murder-suicide.’

[noobcinephile]

Fellas is it gay to hold hands with your best friend/familiar/bodyguard while holding a stake to your neck and speaking in an ancient language to let them know you can’t live without them?

Because if it’s not then what the actual shit.
