Disney, releasing Wish: "so it's all about legacy--the new generation surpassing the old, overcoming the evils perpetuated by them, relinquishing singular power... and there's an old man in a tower, uh... animal sidekick, i guess..., ah... magic...?

Miyazaki, just out of frame, sledgehammer raised:

#the boy and the heron #not tagging wish 'cause i'm being a little acidic #this isn't to be negative in the slightest--I really respect both films--but it's interesting to see how visceral boy+H gets with its story #what evils have to be rejected and what they represent--and how characters and the world suffer from those evils--as well as how the whole #'rejecting' part goes. in terms of animation powerhouses discussing their legacies - disney and miyazaki both - I find it interesting that #one makes a pretty safe and nostalgic movie about imagination and dreams; the other is a long trudge through the land of the dead.#b+h is a hard watch - and a look at the legacy of a man questioning his whole purpose in the world - after his cultural touchstones #have long passed by. Mahito needs to understand his grief to keep living--but if he drowns in it he'll just continue the cannibalistic and #violent world of his granduncle. how the hell do you make art when the trauma of your entire life has colored it forever? How can anyone?#maybe after a while... it's time to detonate that damn tower and keep living.#this is to say #if you have enough money to make whatever you want #Make It Fucking Count

That's the face he makes when he's feeling silly.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #I tried so hard to squeeze in the fact this bar boy was 100% down to take on wwx's surname.#Unfortunately for him...sitting at the table is a man who's biggest dream is to hyphenate his surname with that very same man #though as far as I'm aware taking on your husbands surname is culturally a very different process in this setting #but in modern times I think the surname thing would genuinely be a point of contention for these guys.#wwx of old would hate taking someone else's name. And wwx of 'i want to be an attic wife' future would want nothing less #lwj of 'we are equals and I want to represent that as much as our bond' would argue his point like a law case.#lwj of now has to sit at a table and see someone living his dream and he's too lawful of indiscriminate killing. But he's thinking about it #It's like the relationship between you & your laptop & your cat. lwj is the cat that is *going* to make you pay attention to him.#apologies for soft-skipping an upload yesterday. I had to redo a few comics and it set me back B*(

COMMEMORATING 40 YEARS OF A CULT/AMERICAN/HIP-HOP CLASSIC -- RELEASED THIS MONTH, 40 YEARS AGO.

PIC INFO: Resolution at 2409x3084 -- Spotlight on FAB 5 FREDDY (Far right) and ROCK Steady members in front of the now world famous "Wild Style" mural by Zephyr, Revolt, & Sharp, c. 1982. 📸: Martha Cooper.

MINI-OVERVIEW: ""I feel very humbled by the fact this film has lasted in the hearts and minds of so many for so long,” says Grandmaster Caz, who starred in "Wild Style." “I’m awed and flattered by the influence the movie has had on so many and it sits as a testament to those of us who dedicated our hearts, spirits and efforts to this culture now called Hip Hop.”

Ahearn tapped into the psyche of NYC’s youth when he shot on location in the South Bronx and downtown as the story unfolded around a tagger named Zoro (Lee Quiñones). He worked with real subway/street artists, B-boys, MCs and emerging turntablists, who shaped the future by just being themselves. Among other all-city innovators and rockers on-screen: Grand Master Flash, Busy Bee, the Cold Crush Brothers, Sandra “Lady Pink” Fabara, the Rock Steady Crew and Fab 5 Freddy. Unlike today, there was no YouTube to push your product, no corporate sponsors or studio backing.

“We were way out there without any visible funding … development was done in a complete vacuum,” Ahearn tells Tania Fuentez Media ahead of Monday’s celebration. “Everyone was worried it (Hip Hop) was gonna be a fad, it would disappear or people would forget about it. This was in the fall of 1980 when I was talking with people about making the film … of course, it never disappeared.”

Continuing, he reflects: “The film acted as a kind of statement of Hip Hop … most people didn’t know what it looked like or felt like. I am very proud of the vibe we caught in the movie. It may get a little sentimental with Lee and Lady Pink or it may get a little funny with Fred or Busy Bee, but it was real.""

Tap dancing is the parent of breakdancing!

With the ‘24 Olympics including the new category of ‘breakdancing’, let’s remember the Black American origins.

(plus, there’s way too much misinformation about the origins of Hip Hop and it’s elements: breakdancing being one)
