#I love when film and tv like

I’m only 3 episodes in but I really love what they’re doing with cooper’s accent or speech mannerisms how every you wanna phrase it. The fact that in the past behind the scenes he has a completely average American accent but in character he has the dumb cowboy voice & centuries later as the ghoul any trace of that cooper voice is gone. Like he’s lost in this role or has become it for real or any trace of the human cooper are dead and gone. Idk!!!! I’m interested to see what else comes of it in the next episodes but it’s a very cool detail

I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy a scene was cut from a show

I just realized that 911’s opening disasters are the equivalent to brooklyn nine nine’s halloween heists stop

the thing about adaptation discourse (specifically with pjo but this can apply to others i've seen) is that people fail to realize:

a) they are adapting it for a NEW audience. and

b) they are making it fresh for the ORIGINAL audience!

as much as people say they want a 99% accurate representation of a book to screen, be for real that would just be boring!!!! knowing every plot twist every turn every development would get tired sooo fast. by adding changes however minor or major to themes, plot, details, WHATEVER, it makes it fun while still keeping the heart of the thing! maybe i'm just an optimist but holy shit it's so fun to be taken on a whole new journey while still knowing where they'll end up, but being able to be surprised by what may happen to get there! i audibly gasp in delight when things happen that weren't in the books. i LIKE being surprised and falling in love with something all over again for new reasons. especially in a book to tv format, there's so much room to add, to develop, and to REdevelop aged out moments of the books!

tl;dr be kind to adaptations. just. just shhhh. it's okay. they can be good things on their own.

CREATE THE HEAVENS! DAY THREE: SPIRAL POWER

[homethelongwayaround]

Genuinely my main thing with the Watcher thing (I watch their stuff but I’d never consider myself a die hard fan) is that I really want to see the back end projections and business plans that went into this. Show me how their math mathed to the point that this seemed not just viable, but an improvement upon YouTube at this moment in time.

I’ve been watching it unfold all day and seeing the comparisons to Dropout, the unfortunate optics of reinstating the “let’s go eat stupidly expensive stuff” show as your first big new thing for the platform while also saying you don’t have money to do the “TV-quality” things you want, all that’s fine and dandy and not incorrect. But I just can’t see how this is financially going to win out.

I wish the boys the best, hope it works out for their sakes, and I hope regardless that one day we get an idea of what the decision making process was. Not the vague “ad revenue ain’t what it used to be” type comments they made in their very not-reading-the-room announcement video, but actual numbers. I’m super interested.

when i was maybe like 7 years old, my mom would let me and my younger brother stay up until 7:30 (7:30!!!!!) once a week to watch spider-man and his amazing friends and that still remains the most defining superhero media of my entire life because season 3 episode 5 "the origin of the spider friends" is actually tattooed on the inside of my brain with the starfire reveal

List of Why The Fuck Didn't I Realise I Was Into Women Sooner #2: Catherine Zeta Jones's sword fight with Antonio Banderas in Mask of Zorro.

That part where her hair was hanging loose and wild and he'd cut the shoulder off her nightdress and she disarmed and advanced on him like an avenging Fury, eyes ablaze and breathing hard— fundamentally altered my brain chemistry. Haven't been the same person since.

It's always interesting to hear about people's weird/unexpected "alternate life paths". Like, something that you could have done with your life, a job you almost took, a school you almost went to, etc - that was still actually realistic enough that it could have happened, but NOW it seems to not suit your current personality.

Like for example, I currently hate advertising (how manipulative it is, brands trying to be 'relatable', social media amplifying it to an obnoxious extreme, etc.) so much that even seeing a little ad before a youtube video is grating to even witness, but there was a point in time where I was genuinely seriously considering going into marketing/making commercials as a career lol. Or like, I have a relative who was very inclined to be a pastor when they were younger, even though today they're a super strong atheist, etc. etc.

I started reading Lord of the Rings (bought Fellowship of the Ring like… last spring but never got around to starting) and I’d just like to say. Holy fuck what a slow book. You mean to tell me I’m over a hundred pages in and this man is only just leaving the Shire? Sign me up for MORE I love this shit. Tolkien said “I will take exactly as much time as I want to describe things and you will like it”. AND I DO
