Getting Stockholm syndrome'd by academics lately not even stressed about the fact I have to get thru like 700 pages of last-minute assigned readings between my classes before 9 AM Wednesday. Just chilling. Acknowledging the next 2 days are going to be intense and exhausting but will manage and get thru it a better theorist. Also there's Buster Keaton screening to mark the end of Round 1: Reading Hell
#finishing this chapter and getting thru at least half the next tonight before calling it quits#don't actually think I'll have the time to make this literally happen but I'll be prioritizing best I can#means i'm finishing last of media theory tomorrow morning and then going straight to marx and then from there every spare moment#is on these 2 ridiculous last minute theory books. explodes and dies#might meal prep a little tonight or tomorrow morning we'll see how tired i am#okay goodbye to my blog i have to go back to doing things or i'll drown and die forever and ever in film theory

i was going to make a post telling yall to stop calling godzilla minus one a low-budget film (because it isn't) but then i remembered disney regularly drops 12 million for ONE EPISODE of their shows without nearly the same cultural impact so. yeah godzilla is low-budget as far as i'm concerned idc
#uhhhh me#film budget is such an interesting thing to think abt#for those curious: godzilla had a budget of 10 million#which seems like a lot until you compare it to an average hollywood action movie which is like. 100 million easy#incidentally that is oppenheimer's budget!#so seeing that you go wow! why the discrepency?#as far as i can figure. american movies go for the big mass appeal so they'll out more money into international releases etc#whereas japanese films only rly care about domestic release so they save a stupid amount of money there#(i'm sure there's more to this and i have my theories but i don't have hard data rn to back it up so i won't say it)#so anyway. 10 mil is a very modest budget by hollywood standards but by japan standards it's above average actually#oh yeah the other thing about budgets i always come back to#is the fact the percy jackson show had 12 million per episode#but did not look or feel nearly as good as shadow and bone which had average 4 mil per episode. literally a third what percy had#the allegiant movie had an estimated ~120 mill budget and somehow was worse in every single way than the scorch trials movie#which had 61 mil. HALF what allegiant had and yet literally everything about it was more pleasing#one of my fave sci-fi films prospect has less than 4 mil budget and yes you could tell the cgi was unreal sometimes#it was done in a way that looked artistic instead of cheap and glossy#and i would watch that over whatever new movie the mcu pops out with like. 200 mil budget that somehow looks uglier-#-than a movie on 4 mil#oh my god what in the fucking world. antman 3 had 300 million. whomst.#and the movie didn't even look good? the audacity#7 times prospect's budget and looks like shit#anyway. budget is a weird thing#it rly comes down to who's handling the project and how smartly they use that money#oh ya the other thing i was gonna say is i do think there's a difference between 'low budget film' and 'film with a lower budget'#i think godzilla is a lower budget film (comparatively to hollywood) but not a low budget film. if you catch my drift.

Another little wish for Sing 3
Not only for John C. Reilly to return, but for Buster to find new ways to startle/scare his best friend.
Eddie: AAAAAUGH! BUSTER, YOU HAVE TO STOP SCARING PEOPLE!
Buster: I’m not scaring people, I’m scaring Eddies!
Eddie: SHUT UP!
#sing 2021#sing 2016#sing buster moon#sing eddie#one of the best running gags in the first film#too bad Nana made him go back to school for the second#you guys can have your modeling theory but I doubt Eddie got a degree in anything the first time he went to college#or if he did I don’t see any proof

SDJ IS AN ADULT VN MINORS DNI. PUT YOUR AGE IN BIO OR YOU'LL BE BLOCKED
The tape "Incident 84" probably is a original copy of the show and contains the last episode of the original Sunny Day Jack, aka the one where Jack died/killed (was shot?) while filming. Everything directs that after said incident the producers tried to bury all clues related to it to protect themselves.
(In Jambeebot's drawings there was one with two formers actors of the show in what it seemed an interview or talking with someone who was asking them about the incident and the woman said they didn't let them hold a funeral for Joseph/Jacktor. AND in this drawing his grave seemed improvised God knows where by someone who knew him, no grave per se just a which further proves he didn't get a proper funeral and only the people who worked in the show knew he died at the age 25 under turbulent circumstances.)
So that tape was the only existing one that proved his death/murder, the person who kept it died and somebody donate their things or they get rid of it themselves and that's why Jack was trapped in there.
After all, it contained his death, but also the last moments of his life and who killed him or why he died. The first element his soul could cling to this realm, well, before you.
#incident 84'#somethings wrong with sunny day jack#sunny day jack#joseph cullman#theory#right before getting out of my house sdj came to my mind and I was like#huh oh yeah the tape wonder what it contains-#and then i remembered#that Jack died during the filming/practice of a episode#HOW I DIDN'T THINK THIS SOONER#sorry I'm slow#it also makes sense because at that time the episodes were already grabbed before releasing them#so if that's the original and maybe only copy nobody else get to know what made the show get canceled#except the kids in the stage that day. The workers. The executives who tried to hide everything. And whoever investigated the incident#if it was investigated. because it may be an unsolved case and the responsible of his death got away with it#maybe the witnesses were silenced or ignored#man imagine visiting your favorite clown and he dies in front of you. Then your mom asks you how much fun you had back home#go tell your parents and therapist that lmao. poor kids#*the episodes were recorded. Not grabbed. Sorry that verb is a false friend. In Spanish record is said grabar#hence the mistake

so I saw some of the backlash to matpat’s murder drones theory so I decided to check back on his channel and.
what. bro what are you doing. what are you doing????? huh?????? I don’t- I can’t even- what?????
#Tbh matpat is going off the deep end since he got so popular#kinda the dream effect#He’s got so many devoted fans to defend him that he can basically do whatever he wants and barely controls them#Also btw I don’t actually think he’s transphobic. just a little insane and/or insensitive. he does seem to be have good intentions but yees#like he’s also infamous in a lot of fandoms#Mainly the undertale fandom (where he really didn’t deserve the hate)#But also in the Omori and hollow knight fandoms and that’s. Yeah. I get it.#going back to the transphobia thing most of that stuff is from years ago but everyone’s in a fuss about it#Meanwhile the fnf and pizza tower devs are right there#But im cis so take my opinion with the tiniest fucking grain of salt#matpat#game theory#film theory#anyways someone with more ability to talk about this please educate me if I said something awful and/or braindead

#so#maybe a week ago#there was a post about the doll commercial movie on my dash#and it was about how yeah the movies feminism was like 101 babys first feminism#because the audience it was aimed at arent people who have read feminist theory#so of course it was just The Basics#so that critique of it wasnt really valid or whatever#kinda like the ''are you trying to buy ice cream at the hardware store?'' idea#but more ''why are you trying to sell ice cream at the hardware store?''#and the post annoyed me but im a mature adult who does not have the energy to get into fights on tumblr so i just scrolled past#and i was trying to parse through the annoyance to figure out why it annoyed me so much#and i was thinking ''did it annoy me because i was in this post and i didnt like it?''#but i kept coming back to the two references to native americans in the film and how both were insensitive#one being the comparison of the kens implementing patriarchy to barbieland to the smallpox blankets and hence the wider genocide of natives#and the other being the barbie version of mount rushmore which you know was settlers desecrating the black hills which legally belonged to#natives and was a sacred mountain (going off memory i think the sioux the cheyenne and the lakota people all had claim)#and it was thinking about thst mixed with watching a leftist youtuber cover a prageru video that i realised why that post annoyed me so much#BECAUSE#the criticism wasnt just that the feminism in it is babys first feminism with the training wheels on#(which i also still kinda have a bone to pick with tbh but thats another post for another day)#a major part of the criticsm of the films feminist themes is that they were white feminist themes#the entire film was from the perspective of a white audience#the film was assumedly white if that makes any sense#like barbie is just Original Barbie because she just is. she was the first one and everyone came after her#at no point is her whiteness even acknowledged let alone explored#the film explores things like beauty standards and workplace misogyny and motherhood and the patriarchy in general but it dares not even#tiptoe around race. it just blatantly ignores it the way second wave feminism did. and oh does that coincide so unfortunately with the kens#strike back plot which lowkey perpetuates the myth that giving equal rights to an oppressed group will lead to them oppressing you#the lens from which the film views the world is one of whiteness and ignorance and privilege. white feminism is not feminism 101#basic feminism should not exclude women of colour.

This is said with an academic lack of judgment but I think pavb¡e shippers and m¡gb shippers are divergent evolution of the same ancestor: no¡rham shippers
#you see. one leaned more into 'pair the canon spares' and the other more into 'we can make them middle aged dads'#and so when presented with new film content they honed those traits more#genuine lack of judgment here i do not care who you ship Pav with or whatever i am just Noticing Trends And Paterns#and on that note#peni handshake jess#anyway theories on how a dinosaur got bitten with a spider because i kinda thought that between being huge and scaly that wouldn't happen#but have i simply overestimated how protective a dino scale is (don't bring up feathers that trex clearly wasn't)#or. you know that one panel of spider-man telling a villain he could have cured cancer but he didn't want to cure cancer#he wanted to turn people into dinosaurs#was that trex just a normal spiderman who got turned into a dino by a villain#and got to keep the spider powers#anyway. those are my thoughts I'm going to go back to scrolling through u tube now#also wow i do not know ship names lol well you can figure them out probably#and yeah I'm just gonna keep adding tags i don't want this silly little thought to end up in the main one lol#but I'm politr#polite#and will tag spoilers so#hope that was enough filler#atsv spoilers

Here's the thing: I haven't played most of the games MatPat talks about. He is my only exposure to FNAF. I only play creative mode on Minecraft. And yet! I love his videos. Even if I don't know what he's talking about, he talks enough that I'm like, "Yeah, that could be right."
#this also applies to film theory#i love to go back to his prediction videos after a movie comes out and see what he got right#honestly if you just talk long enough you can make anything make sense#game theory#matpat#youtube#fnaf#minecraft#film theory

personally i think the quantum leap finale is subjective because of the entire premise of the show
#like yes. the canon finale we got there’s a lot to say. so much to say. so much that’s already been said#knowing that it was literally rushed and thrown together but still finding it great is very cool#there’s also the alternative ending that they filmed. which is a thing of its own#al being with beth. after sam sacrificed everything for him to be with her. and he still couldn’t be happy without him#we could’ve had al leaping with sam. to quote dean stockwell “like a married couple”#then there’s the fan made endings. if sam ever did make it back home. and had to be faced with a hell of his own making#he can never really go back etc etc#i think the ending we got was good in its own way. but could’ve been improved in some small ways#yes the inherent tragedy of it all is oh so great and wonderful and whatnot. but#idk. quantum leap is such a deep show. with a lot of lore and a lot of layers#al died and the last time he ever saw sam was while he was having a breakdown in front of some strange mystery bar without a leapee waiting#he died trying to find him again. he left sam there. in tears. head in his hands#and sam refused to go home. he could never go home. he couldn’t never be done#he just wanted al to be happy. but al couldn’t be happy without sam. and it just keeps looping like a paradox#but i think if he did go home. the guilt of never really being done would eat him alive#add another layer of tragedy and guilt#idk! i think it’s fun to play around with theories and ideas#and there’s no right answer. i’m kinda sick of an implied “right answer”#anyways. head is always spinning ql thoughts#ql#quantum leap

SEE SEE SEE, ME AND MY SISTER WERE LITERALLY JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS SAME THING WORD FOR FUCKIN WORD.
we're pretty sure the biggest reason miguel is after miles so angrily is because miles has the mind to be able to change his canon event and—just like you said— do everything he couldn't and he doesn't like that.
and, if miguel has to take a substance to be spider-man, doesn't that mean he isn't really spider-man in the first place? because it wears off and if the powers wear off then, essentially, being spider-man wears off and that's not a very spider-man thing to do.
this also just adds to the fact that, theoretically, miguel hates miles because even as an anomaly himself, miles is still trying so hard to be himself and spider-man at the same time.
Miles' universe is Blank.
Right at the beginning of the movie, the lady explains that its her job to 'capture his universe', but she has no idea who this kid is, so she has nothing written.
Miles is the 'original' anomaly, who—according to Miguel—was never meant to be spiderman. It makes sense that no one quite knows what to expect.
But hold on a second, in a universe where spiderman already existed, would changing a canon event still be catastrophic when they've technically already happened?
If it is, why hasn't the universe where Miles' spider came from collapsed in on itself like Miguel claims it should? Because the spider never bit Peter Parker in that universe, I'd say that several canon events have changed, but other than chaos due to lack of a spiderman, the universe has yet to tear itself apart.
Why do they listen to Miguel anyway? Oh right, because he's experienced it the consequences of changing canon events. But in that case, wouldn't that make him the original anomaly?
It would make sense, both him and Miles have distinct powers that seperate themselves from the other spiders, like invisibility or vampire-esque teeth.
Dont let all the different versions of spiderman confuse you, they all have things in common—outside of canon events—and Miguel is an outlier in all of them.
No humor, distinct webs, and whatever the hell he injected himself with aside, Miguel has not only lost sight of what it means to be spiderman, but also managed to drag everyone down with him.
Maybe thats why Miguel makes such a good antagonist, because I dont know about you, but alot of what he explained made sense. I found myself even agreeing—greater good and all that. Sure it sucks, but thats the responsibility of Spiderman right?
But wait. When did spiderman become so cynical? As of now, Miguel is not Spiderman. Maybe he never was. I hope for Miles sake thats not true.
But back on topic. Just like that lady at the very start, Miguel also has no idea who this kid is, or how his universe is going to turn out - and thats a little scary. Especially when its possible Miles can achieve everything he wasnt able to. There are a million reasons why Miguel's univeres collaped in on itself, and I'm not inclined to take his word.
#!! lia speaks !!#after the cut off i was just speaking out of my sleep deprived ass#but it makes sense to me#and this might just be the inner me speaking#but their whole dynamic could be a metaphor for generational trauma#the classic “if i had to go through it#—you do too.“#or even “well when i was your age..”#across the spiderverse#i might come back and edit this#film theory#spider man

I don’t think I’ve ever been as violently irritated with the choice to kill off a character as I was with that of Ilsa Faust in Dead Reckoning
#it’s so ridiculously unnecessary#like i’m okay with her dying in theory#but she has no purpose in this movie#they basically bring her back to kill her off#and for what???#what does that accomplish????#angering and motivating ethan? he was already angered and motivated#showing off the entity’s power?#i think the opening scene on the russian submarine does that in a much more effective and cinematic way#idk it just feels so gross to me#to have this character who was so engaging and developed and motivated on her own#and just kill her off to get rid of her#especially when she’s been the only main recurring female character in this cast for the last several movies#like i assume rebecca ferguson must have wanted out of these movies?#or was just not super available for filming so they had to write out the character?#but gosh#give her a better plotline for her death#make her an actual character#and not just a plot device who pops up halfway through the movie just to die and farm some cheap emotion off the audience#like i cry at every little remotely sad thing in movies — i am so emotional most of the time#i did not shed one tear at ilsa’s death#i dont think i even felt sad#i was just irritated#it’s just such an insulting way to write out this character#at least give her character something interesting to do if you’re going to unceremoniously kill her off#mission impossible dead reckoning#mission impossible dead reckoning spoilers#<- I know this movie has been out a year but just in case

꒦꒷ enhypen ! the moment when fans started shipping them with you <3
idol-ot7!enhypen x idol-fem!reader .. fluff .. no warnings<3 not proofread!!
ε ї з — heeseung
fans started to notice how heeseung kept stealing glances at you when you were busy interviewing them.
you, a new mc in a rookie group got all heeseung’s attention. you’re giggling? heeseung giggles too. you’re smiling? heeseung’s smiling too.
“how do you feel about your comeback?” you made an eye contact with heeseung and your heart skipped a beat. “um…” he was left speechless because of the short interaction you both had.
jungwon took the mic and giggled, speaking instead of the stressed heeseung and making a joke about heeseung being too tired to focus.
fans couldn’t ignore how heeseung kept looking at you with a smile all smeared over his face, as if he just now fell in love with you.
not even a day passed after the interview and all the fans would go crazy with videos and tweets about you two.
“have you seen the way he looked at y/n? i swear we were all just witnessing this man falling in love with her for the first time”
ε ї з — jay
one of the things that your fans loved the most was to watch your lives and ask you questions.
you decided to do one on valentines day and one of the most common questions was if you got something for valentines day when you were younger.
“if i got something for valentines day…?” you repeated the question, thinking about your school days, “i did actually! it was a flower bouquet and a few chocolates with a cute little note on the side” you giggled remembering the cute gift you got.
“jay from enhypen was my classmate back then” you added right after.
fans went feral, making up conspiracies about you and jay being classmates and jay being the one who got you the valentine gift.
he went on live at the same day and his whole live was filled with questions about you and valentines day. he just giggled and confirmed that you and him indeed were classmates, no mentions of the valentines day gift at all.
that didn’t stop the fans from shipping the both of you and videos from yours and his lives became trending.
“jay and y/n confirmed being classmates! y/n also spoke about getting a valentines day gift and right after that she mentioned jay! if you’re asking me, jay has been crushing on her for a while ;)”
ε ї з — jake
a new jake en-log was uploaded and fans rushed to view jake’s vlog. jake was so excited to film a new en-log episode so he filmed everything literally everywhere.
he made a small tour in his room. completely forgetting your signed album that was hanged on his wall.
it didn’t help at all when you also posted a vlog and behind your room wall was an enhypen album, signed by jake—even though it was far, fans could recognize his signature
you and him once met, and he brought you one of your albums to sign on it, and you brought him one of enhypen’s album for him to sign on it.
both of your fans went crazy with theories about the two of you dating and giving each other signed albums as gifts.
“did you see their albums just hanging there on their room wall? they’re fr a power couple😭 jake teach us ways to get y/n signature on one of her albums!!”
ε ї з — sunghoon
a rumor has been going around lately that you and sunghoon were chosen as the new ambassadors for a famous brand.
the rumor kept on going until a new photoshoot came out, and not-so-surprisingly, it was a new photoshoot of you and sunghoon together, presenting you as the new ambassadors for the brand.
you and sunghoon stood extremely close to each other, posing extremely close to each other as well. you had an interaction that fans has never seen before between a fem and a male idols.
a few days later the brand posted a short video of the behind the scenes, showing the both of you really close to each other with such a good interaction between you two.
fans went insane, making your photoshoot trending everywhere and talking about it all the time. especially shipping the both of you nonstop.
“have you seen y/n’s and sunghoon’s photoshoot?? I’M GOING CRAZY OVER HERE!! i’m thankful for that brand for making them the new ambassadors and we better get new photoshoot every month🙇♀️”
ε ї з — sunoo
interaction between idols on award shows isn’t something new so are the reactions to other groups.
sunoo is already known as the king of kpop, who knows all the trends and new kpop songs. to other fans it wasn’t new when he was cheering for you when it was your performance, to his fans it wasn’t the case.
sunoo himself got up and danced to your performance, he cheered and chant for you, it’s something they’ve never seen before, even his members looked surprised.
you also went down the stage and interacted with other idols, when you got to sunoo, both of you danced together and had the cutest interaction ever.
the other fans started to notice the cute interaction and agreed that this is something they’ve never seen before.
sunoo and you went trending as the new kpop queen and king without even trying to do so.
“did you see their interaction and how he cheered? YOU CANT TELL ME THEY’RE NOT DATING!!😭😭 HE’S SUCH A SUPPORTIVE BOYFRIEND”
ε ї з — jungwon
new MCs were introduced, aka you and jungwon. the fans weren’t expecting for much interaction between you two. they mostly thought it’d be so awkward between you two at start.
it wasn’t the case at all. the minute the camera started rolling, you and jungwon had the best interaction MCs has ever had.
both of you looked a bit more than comfortable around each other, making jokes and playfully pushing the other.
the idols you interviewed together looked shocked mostly from the way the you acted around each other, they could’ve swore you two are dating but hiding it.
even you were asked multiple times by your idol friends you interviewed if you and jungwon are dating. the both of you left the whole kpop community in shock.
you made fans wait impatiently every week to see new interactions of the both of you, you got the kpop community wrapped around your fingers. both of you even won as the couple of kpop in one of the award shows.
“did you see their new interaction today? I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT WEEK HONESTLY!! if they’re not dating then i don’t believe in love at all”
ε ї з — ni-ki
you wanted to get some coffee since you craved for some. you argued with your manager and told her you’d be careful enough to not get recognized and she let you off.
ni-ki at the same time lost in a rock paper scissor game and had to buy coffee to all the members.
you both happened to go to the same coffee place without even knowing.
he accidentally bumped into you and the both of you had a short interaction of a ‘sorry’ and ‘it’s okay, no worries’ type of thing.
the fans who recognized you from afar and were respectful enough to not bother you, took some pictures of your short interaction with ni-ki, which made his fans and your fans go wild.
they immediately started shipping you, thinking that you were on your way to have a date together and didn’t have much interaction because you both were in public.
“they won’t go to the same place for no reason!! they probably bought some coffee and went on a date in a more private place after that!! they look so cute!!😭😭”

Okay okay okay so the last tour had themes or rot and decay and all the imagery was demolished cities and swarming insects and rats and shit. This tour is taking place in a dystopian world made of concrete and stuff. But at the end of the initial Black Parade Tour it was declared that The Black Parade was dead. During the final performance Gerard said "we've come down here to Mexic City to properly kill them (The Black Parade) off" and then at the end of the show announced "The Black Parade Is Dead!"
And then also with their last tour they had a lot of themes about witches and summoning and stuff. And the specific imagery of the video they just dropped seems a very clear reference to WW2/Hitler that kind of dictatorship and they have always drawn a lot of theatrical inspiration from post WW2 German expressionism films and in particular The Black Parade and tour and the two music videos they did for that album as The Black Parade were very heavily inspired by German expressionism
But so a thing with Hitler and the nazis and shit tho is that they had an obsession with the occult and stuff
SO
My theory is that The Black Parade has been lost rotting in purgatory/hell and the imagery we see of witches/summoning in the first tour was because His Grand Immortal Dictator was attempting to summon them and now he has and is going to force them to play because he wants to control them and art and music. My Chemical Romance has its roots as a punk band and has always been very vocal of the sentiment of art should never be controlled and art as a weapon against those that seek to harm and control you (this was one of the central themes in Danger Days too) and art and freedom and shit
So my ultimate crack pot theory is that throughout this tour as The Black Parade tries to fight back and free themselves from the control of His Grand Immortal Dictator we'll catch bits and pieces of new songs and music and eventually even get full new songs or even at the very end of the tour a full new album when they finally break free and bring about the end of The Concrete Age
Tldr: i think the tour will end with new music
