I see people continue to lose their shit over printed fanfiction - and yes it's obviously illegal and yes most of the time it's not even the actual people who wrote that fanfic who sell the prints (which is EXTRA scummy) but I keep wondering....

Is it really different from selling fanart prints, stickers and other merch? Why does the community accept doing art commissions of licensed characters, but printed fanfictions (assuming they were done by the actual writer) are where everyone is losing their shit and worries about legal repercussions?

Like, I see fanart sticker sets with stolen artwork on Amazon, but printed fanfic will bring down the legal hammer on fandoms? I just don't really see it.

| Combined post #4 | Decent horror movies featuring sentient objects as killers

Inanimate Object Characters List | Entry: 43

Finally we arrive at the movies that I've seen. Starting with those that I thought were decent enough to have been made into movies, but if someone would shittalk the shit out of them, I wouldn't be surprised.

Down/The Shaft (2001)

This is the American remake of De Lift (English ver. "The Lift") from 1983 made by the same Dutch director, Dick Maas.

I'm not sure if it's only the middle elevator being bloodthirsty and it takes partially control of the neighbouring elevators at some moments - or that all of them are killers. I personally like the first idea better, though, so that's what I'll stick to.

It's way less realisic than the original and lacks its charm, which is why I think the movie alright, but not worthy of its own post.

Down/The Shaft simply doesn't beat the original masterpiece.

Character: homicidal elevator(s?)

Movie: Down/The Shaft (2001)

2. Rubber (2010)

This movie is weird af, but at least the creators acknowledge it and I respect that. It's about a car tire making people's head explode. And then he falls in love with a woman. The ending is mind boggling, too, but I won't spoil it. Oh and also, a group of people watch it like a movie from afar with binoculars. Yeah, it's as absurd as it sounds, but if you're crazy like me, it may be worth a watch.

Character: Robert

Movie: Rubber (2010)

3. Killer Sofa

I don't know if I would put this one on third or fourth place, but since the list is already in the correct order of time w.r.t. release dates, I'm keeping it that way. So here we have a murderous "sofa", which is, for the record, a recliner and not a sofa. Moreover, actually it's a human possessing a recliner and the body is literally still stuck within its cushions, but it counts nonetheless.

This is the second time a human became a chair. Wow.

Character: Frederico Olsen [chair form]

Movie: Killer Sofa (2019)

4. Slaxx (2020)

Lastly, we have this movie that would have been the result of Hollywood and Bollywood having a (low-budget) baby. Mostly, there is one thing that I really did like about this movie why it made it to this list and not the previous one, which is [SPOILER ALERT] the way in which Keerat became the pair of pants. It's absolutely brilliant, because she literally BECAME the pants by falling into the blades of the cotton field equipment. It obviously doesn't make sense if you'd apply real logic, but for fictional logic, IT KINDA DOES.

Character: Keerat

Movie: Slaxx (2020)

PS: this post excludes the tag "things", "frederico olsen" and "keerat", because there were other - more relevant - tags I had to include.

finished abstract #2 and I'm actually quite pleased with it. I feel very evil typing things that seem so nonchalant on the surface but are going to end with "and that's why the SE Asian textile industry is exploitative and how the mining industry is in some ways complicit from the Bronze Age until now and all of you let this happen by not talking enough about how nitrates work."

If I could get away with it I'd love to do a 'this is where your polyester shirt comes from and why I'm going to beat them off your backs with a wet noodle' except this is the mining history section not an oil and gas history section.

Also apparently nobody is filling up the coal section mining history lectures :( I could do a third abstract I guess. Kill three birds in one lmfao. Just do the whole mining songs too and focus on the east coast. I think one professor who rambles is taking that slot though so honestly he can just go off I suppose lol.

gonna be entirely honest i think a LOT of people are missing the point here. the issues surrounding characterization and bad dialogue and lazy plotting and changes that weaken the story and lack of internal cohesion would have existed anyway, because those are issues that came directly from condal and hess, yes. but it IS actually a massive fucking problem that the network decided to slash a FIFTH of the time the writers thought they were gonna have to tell their story, and that they decided to do that mere weeks before shooting, likely when things were starting to be pretty firmly locked down. it IS a huge issue that this created an insane amount of work for the writing team to try and make that sudden limited time work, especially with the deadline of the strike on top of the deadline of shooting. that was ALWAYS going to create a disaster of a season.

imagine if, a month before it was schedule to start filming, hbo had demanded that succcession cut, at minimum, a full episode from their season. imagine if season 4 had that similar mandate, going from ten episodes (which it was, and which it crafted its story around) to eight. it doesn't matter how good the writing is, how on point the characterization is, how fantastic everything is on all other cylinders, demanding those changes in such a short time span is always going to lead to something sloppy and just not good. adding on top of that the fact that the writers were not able to keep on working on the show as they were filming (possibly using the time they were shooting early season episodes to work around the clock to try and make the time crunch make more sense wrt later episodes) due to the strike, which kept up for literally the entirety of shooting, at hbo's behest as well, any change that could have been made was likely incredibly half baked and needed a lot more refinement before it could even hope to work, and would have been that way for any production, even of the shows getting the most applause for their brilliance this year. abbott elementary, interview with the vampire, shogun, they would have suffered the same issues of pacing and lack of climax and both too much buildup and lack of buildup that hotd has been noted as having because of hbo's choices, and these are all shows where we know that the writing team is top notch and the showrunner has known exactly what they're doing and crafted it all expertly.

it's not about your antipathy towards condal and hess as showrunners specifically. i'm not pleased with them either, but in this i could honestly give a shit. it's about the fact that this is an insanely popular property, one whose success creates a lot of money, and the network responsible for it still made decisions that severely and detrimentally impacted its ability to succeed. this season was doomed to fail before a second of footage was shot, and a lot of that blame can and should be laid at hbo for the choices it's made here. there likely wasn't much that would have been able make the writing of the season better, because of the issues already highlighted, but this didn't fucking help. this made it infinitely worse, and created an unsalvageable situation from the getgo that possibly wouldn't have been there if the episode count hadn't been cut, if the writers had known their final count from the getgo, if they'd been given more time to rework the season, if hbo hadn't kept up filming in spite of the strike so that the writers could keep working without screwing over the rest of production.

way too many people are missing the forest for the trees here. yes, condal and hess made bad decisions all the livelong day, and yes that's on them, ring the shame bell at them. but it doesn't matter in the discussion here. the discussion here is on what's now a very clear pattern of hbo and the broader wb/discovery crew making constant choices that denigrate the actual craft of storytelling and are clearly meant to maximize their own profits at the expense of the artists involved in creating those profits, as part of the broader entertainment executive industry's disdain for creatives as a whole that we've been seeing with the strikes and generative ai and now this (and also the trend of david zaslav's incredibly bad business management that is alienating so many people from everything under the wb/discovery umbrella). that's why hbo making these choices is essentially dooming the season to fail from the outset (which is what it was, there's no way anything good could have come from this situation even if the entire writing staff was blessed by the muses themselves, it was dead in the water from the getgo because of this specifically and then only made worse by shitty writing), and something that should be talked about with the gravity it deserves, irrespective of whether or not the dragon show did a plotline you liked or not.

i'm sorry hbo allowed this writing team to plan out a ten episode season until a MONTH before shooting when they cut it down to eight????? and then kept production going when the writer's strike started like two weeks after and kept up for the entirety of the filming schedule??????? i said that filming during the writer's strike was the death knell of this season but oh my god i did not expect to be this fucking right
