You know who really bullied Neville? Steve Kloves.
#fight me#I'm right#every single film has contempt for Neville except the last one where it's inescapable that he be a hero#it's in the dialogue#it's in the writing#even when we get tot he point where the books give more of Neville's backtory and we start to understand him#Kloves pushes him aside and still treats him with the schoolboy values of an 80s high school villain talking about the nerdy kid#I could write endless posts about how Steve Kloves was the wrong person to write the films and didn't understand the books#or their values at all#but I don't want to go on rants that tear apart things people love and that are comfort watching#and tbh I watch the movies a lot too#I just think Steve Kloves did this story wrong

Bungou Stray Dogs: Dead Apple and how “ability users” (opposite to “normal people”) learning to accept themselves through the acceptance of their own abilities is a queer metaphor of acceptance of own's sexual orientation and gender: an essay by me
#bsd#bungou stray dogs#About: Dead Apple. Watched this a while ago with a friend and it was a lot of fun!!!#If you're reading this: thank you so much for hanging out with me I had such a good time (ㅅ´ ˘ )♡#Next to general considerations: wow they were right that Bungou Stray Dogs movie sure can Bungou Stray Dogs#It's always nice to see the detailed animation and elaborate backgrounds of movies. The animation quality compared to the manga is–#definitely noticeable and it's nice to see. That said... I still like the season 2 art style more? And I'm speaking strictly of art style.#The s2 one looks more soft and smooth while the da one is so much more rough.#The plot is... Very bsd-esque I don't think there's anything to add.#In my opinion Kyouka's arc is the one that turned out best tbh. I really like her narrative development and personal growth in this movie.#I like the complexity of her state of mind. how full of contradiction she is. I especially appreciate the recurring small changes of–#expression that indicate how she thinks differently from Atsushi even if she doesn't voice them. The fight between her cynicism and her–#kind nature. It's all very interesting.#Atsushi's development is interesting too. Although all the open questions about his ability we still have kind of leave me frustrated#I don't feel very strongly about Akutagawa in this movie? I mean‚ he's there. The ss/kk scenes are always great and in character and a joy–#to witness no matter what they do. He just doesn't shine particularly? Or at least personally I dont find the “proving my strength against–#myself” narrative arc to be particularly interesting. Imo it was a lot better flashed out in the da stage play! With the complexity that–#the dialogues with Chuuya added to the character. Dazai attacking him. And especially Aktgw understanding that Rashomon wasn't testing Aktg#but rather only expressing that unstoppable rage that is also Aktgw's own. About that I checked out the play and I really liked it!!#I only watched highlights (aka: ss/kk and chuu/aku scenes) but there's some stuff I really like. I like the conflict between Aktgw and–#Chuuya and how Chuuya messes up with Aktgw at first maliciously and then amiably. It's interesting how Atsushi himself observes that Kyouka#and Akutagawa get along. And especially the sskk almost-handholding and Atsushi saying Akutagawa has a nice profile were cute akjdhbsawhjb#Next. Da really is shipping paradise (╥﹏╥) Sorry but... It is. oda/zai. daz/atsu. ss/kk. s/kk. fuku/mori. chuu/aku. It really has everythin#and the moments are so good!!!! What else. Wish we'd see more of Tsujimura. And Christie. And women in general tbh.#Also‚‚‚‚‚ Atsushi's tiger form in this movie is ATROCIOUS. I've said it before but it's crazy how a franchises that relies so heavily on–#fanservice came up with something this hideous. Man the movie overall was pretty but Atsushi sure wasn't. Firmly stand by the belief–#that only Akutagawa would find that form attractive.#Oh last note. honestly if we're ready to accept a movie where an antidote has effect AFTER the person has effectively died then we really–#can't complain about any kind of insanity the manga brings up#random rambles

I think that the 2010's media landscape of Buzzfeed articles about plotholes in disney movies, Cinemasins critiques, and Watchmojo Top Ten scenes in movies that make no sense has truely ruined a lot of media. People are afraid that their work will be torn down if they dare leave a single thing up in the air, if they dare ask their audience to suspend their disbelief.
All too often nowadays I see stories (especially fantasy), take the time to explain how every small aspect of the world works and how it all logically makes sense. The constant time stopped to explain why an event happened, how this object works, or why this is important to the characters. It's just really not needed and it honestly makes a lot of stories worse.
I am of the opinion that the best stories truly just drop you into their world and explain nothing. They just take you through the story of this world and you just have to accept it and continue on. "When he became king, the land became barren." I don't want the story to stop and explain why this is, or how it happened, I want us to move on so we can just assume that the king has such rancid vibes that everything died.
#simon says#i watched the Last Unicorn again recently and it fucking slaps#and I noticed a huge part of why it slapped is because it doesn't explain shit#same with a lot of other fantasy things from the 70's and 80's I've noticed#and even older stories all the way back to fairy tales and fables#they just tell you something and move on#and it works!#a lot of the time it feels far too hand-holdy or immersion breaking for the characters to stop and explain something for the audience#like these characters would not take the time to explain the aspects of their world in detail to other people who live in this world#this is clearly for the audience only and so that they can feel more satisfied with an answer#but it fucking sucks!!#it is bad writing!!#to presume your audience has no suspension of disbelief so you stop everything to explain how the world works for them alone is bad!#it makes the story feel awkward because it feels out of character for the people of the world to talk like that and it feels insulting tbh#like you really think the audience's ability to pick up details of the world from dialog and onscreen (or page) information is that poor??#and to some extent it is#lord knows we are having a serious media literacy and general literacy issue in the United States#but it's honestly just bad writing and it bugs me so much. my number 1 pet peeve in fantasy is overexplaining especially when it doesn't fit#like just fucking tell me that there's a magical world on the other side of this wall in a village and move on#i can just accept this fact#imagine if the Dark Crystal took the time to explain every aspect of the world#that movie is already jam packed with random story and world bits that you just have to accept and move on from#now imagine if they took a solid 2 minutes to explain what the fuck Fizzgig is.#i think leaving it at 'he's a friendly monster and Kira's friend!' is the perfect place to leave it at#we do not need a full explanation on Fizzgig's species and behavior and why he's friendly unlike other monsters#he's a friendly monster and he's Kira's friend! that's all we need to know! we got a dark crystal to put back together!!!

there is something wrong with me because i have a link to watch sugar daddy but i don’t want to use it because i asked kelly if i was available in australia (see reply below) + i wanted to reply once i’ve watched it to tell her how good it is (because i know it’s going to be incredible) but i’m worried if i tell them i’ve watched it they’ll know i watched it illegally + i feel bad about watching it illegally anyways even though it’s not available here so it’s not like i can watch it legally where they get money from me streaming/buying (also can’t remember how piracy works + how it negatively impacts independent filmmakers so maybe i don’t understand how filmmakers get paid and it doesn’t actually make a difference). but like……. this is all insane bc kelly doesn’t give a fuck i’m just a stranger who’s a fan of their work they’re not gonna care about any of this lmaooooooooooo
#i am not well#this is so embarrassing tbh but i’m embracing my anxious cringe side#that cares way too much about actors who play characters i’m hyperfixated on#and just spends too much time thinking about said actors#like i’m a loser for even wanting to tell them i watched their movie from two years ago lmao#like do they care idk#anyways ignore this if it’s too weird#but i’m hoping someone can relate idk lol#also idrk about piracy in general if it’s like a billion dollar studio and it’s going to have no impact#but in this case kelly probs put a lot of her own money towards making this film#and the nature of the film is like kind of relevant lol#bc they deserve to be recognised and compensated for their work know#anyways this was weird i’m weird don’t even worry about it

ngl, doing both a Criterion Collection Challenge and an Anti-Criterion Collection Challenge at the same time on Letterboxd has convinced me to cancel my Criterion Channel subscription lol
#Basically you have to watch 52 movies that match that year's list of prompts over the year#For the Criterion Challenge they are all obvs Criterion Collection movies and for the Anti CC one they are movies not included in the CC#and at some point i realized i was having way more fun with the Anti CC one and rating almost all the Criterion watches as mid#and then i realized it's not so much the Criterion-worthy status that matters and makes it enjoyable#but more that i simply enjoy doing challenges and checking off checklists#And it's not like i haven't found some pretty good watches in the CC either... but you can find just as many elsewhere too#Maybe the thing i like best about the CC streaming service#is that they have lots of those behind the scenes bonus features and interviews that i miss from the DVD owning/renting days#Also it's CRAZY to me that some people have actually watched all 1600+ things in the Criterion Collection!!!#And then you read what they have to say about the experience and they're like 'yeah a lot of it was kinda filler / a waste of time tbh'#omggggg but you still did it anyway?#And dont even get me started on the people who try to physically own the entire collection on DVD......#movies#p

guys inanimate insanity is updating again and i kinda dgaf because the hyperfixation died years ago but i just got spoiled (??? i think) for something and ngl its making me kinda intruiged.........these days ive moved on to other things and grown up (which is ironic considering i got into II when i was a little bit over the target age in the first place) but like. should i finish it just to finish it since season 2 is finally wrapping up or nah since idk if i feel like going back to it rn
#meow meows#idk because on one hand i AM curious#but on the other hand. watching things takes energy that i could b using 4 more current interests or things my friends have reccomended#im also teeter tottering on if i'm gonna get sucked back into the osc or not#because on one hand. that took up a huge part of my life and going back to it might reawaken the obsession#but on the other hand i fell off keeping up with ii and bfdi because i naturally lost interest#and then it became too much to catch up with at once for smth i barely cared about anymore#like lightbulb and paintbrush are both gone whats even the point /j#but you see the dilemma; i'm on the fence about a lot#but also like. what do you mean theyre doing a movie. what does that Mean in terms of indie animation#most of all im just nervous about getting invested again tbh#i have other stuff i want to focus on more so like. idk maybe i'll wait until my current special interests subside a little#so theres room for new stuff again. or new old stuff?#idk my nostalgia goggles arent really on for object show stuff yet so maybe i'll finish the series whenever that kicks in#i got into the osc around like 2016 sooooo maybe i'll feel like reminiscing in 2026? to mark an even ten years

watching an actors' entire filmography because you liked them in a certain film/show is a dangerous act when you're a fic writer, because then your brain starts spitting out random au's / post-canon scenes directly inspired by other works in that actors' filmography
#caroline talks#anyways. i watched the swearing jar (2022)#it was a good movie. patrick j adams was probably one of my favorite parts of that film tbh#but the entire cast was def great. lots of natural chemistry between everyone + nothing felt too scripted??#but stuff happens in that movie and something in my brain went 'haha. post-canon marvey . . .. what if mike--'#followed by a violent 'NO N OOO NNON ONONONNO'

There is a kid in my class who asked if we could watch Lord of the Rings in my room after school in half hour chunks and the way I came so close to saying yes.
#tbh I’m still debating but I don’t think it’s a good idea to start#And I think there might be more parent stuff that pops up and like. I’d have to seriously clear it with administration first#and also tbh I’m just too busy during that time#there’s just a lot of obstacles and I can’t make movie watching a habit in my room because it simply will spiral out of control#BUT MAN DO I WANT TO#this was like when the girls asked me to lead a book club last year and I was like I simply CANNOT because I will have no control#and they’ll be out there asking me to read seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo or whatever and I won’t want to let them#so yeah. But it appealed so much to my ego and my sense of fun!!!#anywaysssssssss.#(They started a book club on their own and some real reading is happening!!!! including the boys in their grade too)#(which makes me so happy)#(Apparently also the kid who discovered reading could be fun halfway through pride and prejudice)#(A MIRACLE)#I’m just chatting#teaching tag
