increasingly of the opinion that the Star Wars character with the cool-aunt shows-up-at-Life Day-With-Every-Possible-Dangerous-Toy in the Falcon and enjoys a cheeky little prosecco spritzer at 5:23 pm while tuning out her friends’ chirping about their little bundles of joy pure unadulterated wine-aunt energy belongs to none other than Leia Organa herself. Periodically she is left to hold the Nephew (grogu) and she’s like... who is this gremlin? her will is a three-way split between chewie grogu and poe dameron
#i guess i'm ignoring both new canon and eu stuff to me but extremely childfree leia is very fun to me personally#she has a new republic to build and just did Not vibe with having a child at 24 after a major war ok#i also i guess am kind of.. biased by my hatred of the fandom response to the new movies#and like the new movies themselves#i guess it COULD have been done well but i dislike the evil-son plotline soooo much#it makes leia's story so deeply unremittingly tragic and lead to fandom colouring genocide as her particular fault for being a /bad mom/#no i fully choose to believe in awkward auntie who rented the world's most tricked out bounce house for her beloved beloved godchild (poe#dameron)'s birthday

all the yt film snobs were kinda right about saltburn being a tumblr movie since apparently everyone on all other platforms thinks it's an "eat the rich" movie?? like girl did we watch the same movie
#“upper middle class eating the upper class” is not a satisfying movie premise why would you think that's what it is#like it's not perfect but the imperfections are gonna be blinding when you try to see it as something it so clearly isn't#how the fuck did so many people miss the point so hard like the message isn't even that hidden#(just for clarification- i believe one of the messages/themes of the movie is about sore losers who invent a new narrative that portrays#themselves as the winner. that makes it seem like they're some sort of mastermind when in reality they're a sad freak who are willing to do#everything to become one with the elite- to achieve the unachievable)#someone on here posted once that in the UK the gap between the upper class and the middle class is even bigger and harder to close which de#adds to the longing to be a part of the Cattons#saltburn#saltburn 2023

full on feel like pjo tv s2 is not gonna hold up so they need to drag as much attention to the series as they can by using nico as a sock puppet w tsats2
im fully expecting the show to go the way of the movies. it doesnt help Sea of Monsters is almost unanimously the least favorite book of the first series. People frequently forget it even exists or what happens in it, especially more casual fans.
Heck, just look at how little fanfare the second season has gotten so far as compared to the build up to s1. I wouldn't be surprised if s2 totally flops. It would be a little funny.
#pjo#riordanverse#pjo tv#pjo tv crit#tsats 2#Anonymous#ask#im still sad theyre beating every dead horse in the franchise they can EXCEPT for the graphic novels#the poor graphic novels arent getting advertised AT ALL and the BoO one got cancelled#like. the graphic novels would actually be probably one of the best advertising avenues!#like. hey! you dont need to write a whole new book! just remind people of previous books and give them a way to refresh on it#and given how the first couple of graphic novels were a different artists i could totally see them doing a second version#just to make them all consistent. thatd make sense and be reasonable.#the show has also already kind of trapped itself in a corner in a couple of ways#for one they kind of screwed themselves over failing to plan for the actors. yknow. ageing.#Walker is already taller than like. most of the cast. Percy's gonna be TOWERING over Luke by TLO#i think the main trio is all like almost 16 already? and we're only on s2. its gonna be rough. they didnt think about it. they didnt plan.#also with how theyve been messing with plot and characterization theyre VERY quickly going to start running into hurdles#because they dont seem to understand the more you change earlier on. the less the later stuff will work without also needing change#because. it's dependent on what comes before. so we will very quickly be requiring either MASSIVE canon divergence or a lot of retcon#and retcon in the show is going to be VERY OBVIOUS#though i stand by itll be so funny if they solve too much too quickly in s2 just like the movies and it just ends on#''wait. crap. what are we going to do for s3 now. we solved too much too early. they have nothing to do''

So, I broke down and made a meme version of this post.
(Alt/cleaner ver under the cut)
#sonic the hedgehog#sonic movie#knuckles the echidna#knuckles whipple#sonic wachowski#tom wachowski#maddie wachowski#tails the fox#miles tails prower#sonic movie 2#knuckles 2024#knuckles series#fandom wank#the prev post I linked goes a bit more in detail if you'd like to read it (the kind of detail that doesn't really fit in a meme like this)#My big assertion in the tags of my previous post was that Sonic fandom operates in such a way where if expectations for canon aren't#explicitly conformed to then the loud fandom tends to twist the narrative to prove that the new bits of that canon actually do conform to#their interpretation#The fandom likes to interpret Knuckles and Tails as Wachowski kids and Sonic's brothers. The knuckles series has them call each other#roommates but doesn't explicitly confirm all of their nuclear family fantasies#Ergo‚ everything after episode 1 should be ignored. And even though this series has no troubles making explicitly clear which characters are#in nuclear family (or other types) with each other#and even though there's nothing stopping paramount or sega from having them explicitly be called Sonic's siblings#the loud fandom must take it upon themselves to decide that perceived ambiguity is confirmation#Oh and before you ask about my thoughts on Maddie calling Knuckles her son in one scene just. Read the post I linked.

Which version of this do you prefer?
*obviously with comics there's lots and lots of different runs that can have wildly different qualities and everything which kind of complicates things, but as the source material it does need to be included on the poll- you can just think of this option as indicating a general preference for the comics stories instead of being attached to a specific Superman run in the comics
#also only noting man of steel and not other dceu films including bvs because its the only one (I think?) specifically focused on superman#theres certainly even more like animated stuff etc but I think 10 is gonna be the absolute upper limit I put on options for one poll for no#i dont know if ill do a part 2 for this though because these are most of the biggest adaptations i think? if anyone really wants part 2 lmk#also I know I usually list everything out in the question but given how many are on this poll I'm just doing the options themselves#superman#superman comics#superman 1978#superman ii#lois and clark#lois & clark: the new adventures of superman#superman the animated series#dcau#smallville#smallville tv#superman returns#man of steel#dceu#superman and lois#superman & lois#my adventures with superman#adventures of superman#comics#comic books#superheroes#arrowverse#tv shows#movies#animation#animated series#dc comics

The news in the original media: The third season of Good Omens will have just one 90-minute movie episode. The news in the media in my country: the third season of Good Omens has been CANCELED and will now only have a 90-minute special.
#If I had gotten the news from the press in my country I would have had a heart attack#ok maybe they are right#technically it is as if there is no more S3#now it is a movie#or a concluding special#the original press is just trying to soften it#I am happy because we are going to have a conclusion#I am slightly frustrated that we are not going to have a season with several episodes#but I think 90 minutes is better than nothing#it is better than canceling#90 minutes to fix the last 15 minutes of S2 and give a happy ending#it is less screen time than we would like#but it is more than we would have had if they had considered canceling and not doing anything else from GO#I am rooting for them to give us what we need (happy ending and a well-tied conclusion)#since they are not going to give us what we want (a full season)#I think it is understandable who is suffering with this news#as well as those who are accepting it with contentment#every fan has the right to let themselves feel what they are feeling#honestly? I was already expecting something like this#because it didn't make much sense to me how they would remove the screenwriter of the project and still keep the script for it?#I think a part of me already knew that the removal could mean this#now it's time to support the production and actors by sending positive vibes#because I imagine that they are not responsible for this decision#this is a matter for the executive team#and although we are frustrated that we will not have a full season#it was certainly not the ideal solution for the fans and for the production and actors and others involved#but it was the possible solution#I'm still waiting for official notes from Amazon Prime and BBC#good omens#inefabble husbands

hello, dolly! (gene kelly, 1969) being the last old hollywood movie musical and fiddler on the roof (norman jewison, 1971) being one of (if not THE) first new hollywood movie musicals is absolutely incredible to me in terms of both films’ cinematographic approaches and continued cultural relevancy
#hello dolly#fiddler on the roof#both of these films also happen to mean a lot to me but even that aside they really are era markers in and of themselves#hello dolly is so lush and at times campy and such a beautiful tribute to the old school movie musical on the whole and then fiddler comes#in swinging with american new wave meets almost postmodern influence and it blows everyone out of the water#like. truly so impactful

i love coming on here and finding out everyone lost their damn mind while i slept
#why are people acting like wotc are going to come to their houses and uninstall the game from their computer LMAO#and why are people acting like larian is washing their hands of bg3 when they literally said they have additional updates planned via patch#like did we seriously expect anything other than what we've been told? why is this news#wotc is shitty sure but no more than any other big corp.#this isnt a ya dystopian movie we don't have to defeat them ahsksfjk calm down#i also don't think we need to worry about how the characters are owned by wotc i feel like it's more for merch purposes#i do not think they're going to become the new poster children of dnd#that's not really how dnd is marketed#idk i think a lot of people gaslit themselves into believing that we were getting 2 dlc and bg4: astarion boogaloo#it's giving valentines day romance patch tbh#none of this is directed at mutuals btw u guys are normal ♥️ i just think in general this fandom needs a reality check

hate to say it but strictly on a storytelling level civil war kind of slaps. this can be said about alex garland: he knows how to spin a yarn
#civil war 2024#both films are so unserious but i liked it way more than i did that new sam esmail movie whatever the name was#and although the Ooohh The Morally Gray Gaze theme has been overdone to hell and back post-jordan peele's Nope#what can i say i unfortunately love it. yes what IF the gaze and something something entertainment and also whoaaahhh the#audience is complicit........ whaaat...! anyway that's where garland shines imo. in a slightly cringe mr. robot kind of way#you know what i mean.#talented filmmaking hotshots whose personality is like. guy who reads Vice. taking themselves embarrassingly seriously as they make some a#admittedly pretty good flicks.

finished flamefrags' vid and it was awesome but i cant help but see the many similarites it shared with ls post-abyss arc
#vid: I Used XP To Become Immortal [Full Movie]#like did the lsers do this on purpose or..?#im not joking btw like.#emphasis on honor until respect was lost; large emphasis on builds and their destruction (spawn as well but ls always had a thing w spawn)#someone wanting to prove themselves becoming one of if not the most powerful player on the server#jumpers (? it might not have been her i forgor) fakeout betrayal (pretending to betray her og team when really shes betraying her new one)#the too late apology; players wanting to bring down the immortal player; the puppet president; heroes fighting against pirates#guy that was originally planning to team w someone else who he was planning to just fuck around with#having to change course and team with someone who hes teamed with since s2 and onwards#one of the presidents wanting peace despite the fact it goes against the mechanics of the server#one of the candidates being teamed with the team that has a puppet president whos been wanting to win an election for years now#getting snubbed in favor of the puppet (tho pheaabeaa was more of a puppet than wemmbu was) and later betraying#someone making a deal that would severely impact their next season (tho less so for flame since the server shut down)#the border shrinking; a person whos been a villain all season suddenly acting like a hero cause his principles goes against another villain#conspiracy theory: post-abyss arc was actually foreshadowing for flame joining lifesteal lol#vidwatching#watchblogging

Alfred Burke puts on his best policing face as Parisian detective Inspector Maron, in Overseas Press Club - Exclusive!: The Billion Franc Mystery (1.6, ABPC, 1957)
#fave spotting#alfred burke#overseas press club exclusive!#the billion franc mystery#1957#classic tv#public eye#abpc#an obscure series‚ even by the standards of pre 1960s telly. OSPC was a coproduction between Ardleigh Films and Associated British Pathé#(they of the famous news reels‚ and themselves a subsidiary of Associated British Picture Corporation). a year or two later and this#would probably have been made in house by ABC themselves‚ but the franchise was only a year old at this point and still finding its feet#the concept is simple but promising: each week‚ a member of the Overseas Press Club of America (a real and still extant organisation) tells#a tale from their careers‚ an unusual instance or shocking event that makes for good tv. these tales are true! says the narrator in the#show's opening moments‚ and these ppl exist! frankly that's something i take with a large grain of salt; whilst some stories certainly have#direct factual origins (there's an episode about a catholic priest going undercover with a gang of street toughs which ends with footage of#the actual figure that inspired the ep) but others are highly questionable (the first‚ about a Norwegian resistance fighter who has plastic#surgery and takes the place of a relatively high ranking nazi officer; i feel like that's something that would be better known‚ yknow??)#this ep is about a nazi plot to destabilise the French franc just prior to ww2; quite believable and certainly the nazis did dabble in#producing counterfeit money‚ tho the examples i found online all relate to pound sterling or latterly the us dollar‚ not the franc)#our journalist of the week is played by Lee Patterson‚ a minor film star in british b movies at this point‚ with swooningly handsome Anton#Diffring (who had fled nazi persecution himself) as the villain. Alfie's part is pretty small‚ he's just the french cop keeping every one#in sight and letting events play out (cue some wonderful Alfie cheshire cat grins). Patterson (and maybe Diffring) got to fly out to actual#real Paris to film some location work and establishing shots (a benefit of making a series about the OSPC was that they arranged flights#for cast and crew). poor Alf didn't get a holiday tho; his scenes are conspicuously studio based‚ even when he's meant to be on the banks#of the Seine...#so yes‚ a fun little series‚ even if (so far) the wide scope of potential stories does seem to favour ww2 stuff. good luck finding a copy#tho; it took me months of trawling to find a reasonably priced 2nd hand copy (Amazon currently have a copy for £79.99 which.. for 2 discs#is kind of insane). a victim of the price gouging which seems to have affected some of the lesser known network titles since their#dissolution. sad times for the fan of painfully obscure old tv.. if I ever learn how to make things be on a computer‚ tho‚ I'll happily#share

It drives me crazy when fictional parents get engaged without having even INTRODUCED their still-under-their-guardianship children to their significant other
#this thought occurred to me when I was thinking about the future Mattel movies#specifically the Polly Pocket movie#because I feel like whoever handles that movie will neglect the LORE#polly pocket#yes this is a post about the movie PollyWorld#I really liked that movie as a kid even though the dad was rich and CRAZY to just be like teenage daughter here is your new mom#I am going to send you to boarding school because she said so#polly world#this post is also about the parent trap#the parent trap#that used to be my favorite movie#and it’s still great#but looking back?#the HECK was wrong with those parents#especially the dad#deciding to spilt their identical twin daughters up to make it easier on themselves to parent them???

Zero Day Director commentary - With actor Andre Keuck
#movies#film#cinema#Damn I wish Cal was here#Andre and Ben are really interesting to listen to#This movie is one of those movies where it needs like 3 commentaries#It needs one with just Ben Coccio by himself#then one with Cal and Andre by themselves#then another with all 3 of them#Not all movies do that but I love when studios/filmmakers have multiple commentaries to create a sense of thorough intimacy#due to the nature of how commentaries are set up they can be quite restrictive/pressing/limited with no pauses or rewinds.#so I find cast/crew don't have enough time or able to present how they would like to if they could edit/rewind or pause for fluent presenta#So I love when they have director commentaries and actor commentaries or composer commentaries#Platoon's dvd extras are so dope they got multiple commentaries and one with military adviser Dale Dye who was a RL vietnam vet#Or Hostel's commentaries where one is just Eli Roth and another is Tarantino and Eli Roth with Scott Spiegal#idk if Zero Day ever got a blu-ray release but I think it should but the DV technology of the camera is kinda at it's limit of resolution#but an AI upscaling with 20 years later retrospective with Ben Cal and Andre would be sooo dope along with updated commentaries#Every few years I always rewatch Zero Day so that time has come that last few days lol#Ever since Columbine as a lil kid I have always been into spree-murders and active shooter incidents#I remember reading a peer-reviewed paper called Pseudo-Commandos#And Eric and Dylan and Andre and Cal would be dubbed Pseudo-Commandos where they dress up in a semi-military fashion#and have a delusion of superiority mixed with perceived sense of persecution whether it's true or not#it went into the Postal shooter from the 80s as well and what he went through along#plus I read another book called Going Postal which also went into postal shootings along with school shootings#I want to make a film about spree murders or an active shooter/s but I remember just getting so tired of the subject matter#because every 3 weeks there was some new shooter in the headlines and I found myself not wanting to be exploitative#When I write/direct my film I'd like it to address and study the character of such an individual but not try to be too political#or exploitative and focus on the ambiguities that are left behind when someone does this#as a society I noticed we stopped asking the questions on why and stopped having constructive conversations#it feels like as a coping mechanism we've started treating them like tornados or natural disasters

i think one of the things that annoys me the most about booktok is how the majority of them absolutely refuse to read anything other than boring mafia smut or thinly veiled reylo fanfiction. obviously everyone is gonna have their genre preferences, but to never venture outside of them?? this obviously includes their unilateral dismissal of classics, but they completely ignore the overwhelming majority of all books that exist on this fucking planet.
it’s one thing for me to say that i prefer horror and thriller books while also deeply loving antiwar novels and realistic sci-fi, these people say they like “spicy seggsy enemies to lovers only one bed” or whatever the fuck and just don’t even try to find out if they like anything else.
#bucky’s thoughts#booktok#i think everyone on earth should regularly try to expand their reading horizons tbh#my dad and i are doing this thing where each of us gives the other one album book and movie that we feel summarizes us best#so once he finishes it i’ll be reading my first nonfiction book in quite a while#and he’ll be reading his first fiction book in probably 30 years#and we’re both really looking forward to it!!#because it’s fun and important to try new things!!#for all that people online like to gripe about reading comprehension and critical thinking and what have you#i think not nearly enough people actively challenge themselves in the media they consume

Every time I see a post making fun of people being afraid to get into comics I think about how when I was first getting into comics I thought it would be fun to read Infinite Crisis because it was a HUGE event and it would give me an idea of what a whole slew of runs and characters were like. I made a post about some panel pretty early into the event (I think it was a build up comic that wasn't even officially part of the Road To Infinite Crisis so EARLY early) and some blog I didn't know made fun of me for not knowing the greater context of the panel I was commenting on. And while I was naively typing up a quick little 'ah sorry I'm new to comics and didn't know that. Thanks for the context!' they had gone through my blog and started doing the same for a bunch of other comics I'd read, and then mocked me for reading IC when I clearly new so little about comics.
Now, obviously, that behavior is ridiculous, and I just blocked them, but it did stick with me. It was one of my earliest interactions with comic fandom and I never forgot it. Most of the people I've intereacted with have been lovely. Even when I have gotten comic cannon wrong corrections are normally very kind. But not all of them are, and the ones who aren't are so vocal about it.
So i actually don't think it's the comics themselves that make getting into comics an unappealing prospect.
#Think about how people have to defend their newness to comics when asking for clarification.#'Help I'm new to coimcs' you shouldn't have to defend that to get an answer actually#I think the people who act like you NEED to be an expert on a character before saying you're a fan are just wrong to be clear#I can be a fan of a character without having read every issue their in ever#You can write a fanfic for a character without knowing their entire history if you want. It's fanfic. The actual authors dont bother#And sometimes you just gotta remind yourself of that#Reading a fan comic with a scenerio that would never happen in canon isn't a sin if it's fun for the people involved.#I've said before that I really like post resurrection fics that focus on Jason and Bruce's relationship because it lets me live vicariously#through jason in having parents who accept me for who i am despite our differences and still loving me#That's pretty explicitly not the relationship they have in cannon and thats fine#I can still look at their relationship and go 'oh damn this has some ingredients to make this scenrio really emotionally satisfying'#Like yeah yeah the concept that comics themselves are gate kept is a little ridiculous when reading comics online is so easy#but how many times have you had a negative experience in a real comic shop#because I know that i have!#How many times have you seen a blog get aggresive about someone being perceived as a non comic reader like thats a slur#I love comics. Obviously because I run ablog where i talk about them all the time.#but I'm not gonna dox someone who only watches the movies or the shows#there are forms of media where I've only consumed the adaptations#So when people say 'you're gate keeping comcis' REALLY think about how you talk about people who haven't read many comics#Becauase as far as I'm concerned if you constantly treat people like shit unless their in your little pre approved circle of#'Actual Comic Readers' then yeah you are gate keeping comics and its fucking weird#mine#No way in hell I'm tagging this as anything lmfaooo#sorry for the rant in the tags I have many feelings about this#not me going off in the tags
