Actual image of me explaining the entire history of Blue Beetle to my non-comic reading partner after he asked a single clarifying question about the movie:
#blue beetle#the movie was so good!!!!!!#we both cried like three times#genuinely one of the best dc live action ever imo#I thought I could just tell him jaimes origin#but then realized I had to explain infinite crisis#and then also countdown to infinite crisis bc Ted Kord#and at some point I ended up all the way at explaining DC didnt create blue beetle#sorry love#blue beetle 2023#dc comics

Next time we should just skip over ep 3 and do a chapters 84-87 reread
#Mmmmmmhhhh.#Well. If anything you can always tell when there's a ss/kk episode by the fact that it takes me two hours to watch it lol#What can I say. I'm a compulsive screencap taker#Mmmmmmhhh... I was right it wasn't as bad as I remembered it. Still moderately bad but not all bad.#It's just. I can feel the animators did their best.#I suppose it's just a difficult episode to animate within a short time frame since it's a specifically action packed one.#And the lack of time really shows. Like there *are* some detailed animated passages here and there. But then there's also these long static#shots that stretch on forever that are just... Idk. A little saddening to see I guess? Like the animators really ran out of time for them#There's also a big component of... I just can't vibe with the newfound artstyle. Like it looks soooo much worse than s1 in my opinion#Which you know‚ is only subjective! But eh... The distance between s2ep11 and this feels abyssal.#Everyone looks so ugly oftentimes. Like even in curated shots‚ they're just very rough and ungraceful.#Which like?? How could you look at Harukawa's art and come up with //that//??????? But it's whatever#And the pacing is so so off 😭😭😭 God please to death with 11 episodes long seasons give us filler episodes back. Please!!!!#The pacing is atrocious and it has not even to do with the animation. Even greatly animated episodes suffer from it.#Mmmmhh... I don't particularly like Fukuchi's vacting... He doesn't sound tired enough. Nor as pitiful as much as he should tbh#Among the three I feel like only Uemura really nails the job. I'm so sorry Onoken but I feel like even Akutagawa needs to sound vulnerable–#once in a while‚ you know? Although‚ if he's only going with how Bones depicts him‚ then I get why he would act him out like that 😭😭😭#There were so many reused shots too... The ones from the end of s2ep11... The s3ep12 kokko zessou one... Ss/kk running in the corridors...#Overall. Not as bad as I remembered it. But at the same time I get why I was so distraught because they really wasted the best four–#chapters of the manga just like that.#The “is his life that precious to you” moment was terrible 😭😭😭 Head in hands fr#Oh well. I babble a lot but it was okay. Like at least it wasn't season 3 kind of bad. And definitely wasn't t/pn s2 kind of bad LOL#I just hope ss/kk will be made justice in the future (╥﹏╥)#Especially since their new scenes (current manga events) are possibly going to be adapted in the first episodes of the new season.#If Bones pulls another s5ep3 on them you're going to see me on the news#Then again I have hope the arc finale will be adapted in a movie... Who knows...#Most of all I hope they change art style direction again D:#random rambles#Whaaaa it's so late already!!!#Edit: Oh also to not forget I've made like. One hundred posts. Maybe it's time to unfollow me now if you haven't already D:

If you slept on this movie, you should definitely go watch it, because it absolutely slaps.

currently so obsessed with Russell Crowe’s ability to emote so subtly yet powerfully. I just marvel at how naturally good he is at it
#the head tilts the eye crinkles the eyebrow quirks the way his eyes move#and so many more! things i don’t know how to put into words!!#and he’s just a natural!!!#even when he’s super young and inexperienced he does it naturally#it adds such depth to every performance#and it’s even more so as he gets older!#he brings so much gravitas and confidence and charisma the more experience he has#genuinely a master of nonverbal communication#he must really study people to make his characters feel more real#i love his interviews where he talks about his craft#he puts such thought and feeling into every role and it’s so impressive to see it in action#i am constantly in awe of him <3#i over analyze all the gifs y’all make of him#because there’s so much depth!!!#in just a few frames of every movie!#hands down one of the very best actors of the generation#and my all time favorite#russell crowe#text posts

Silent Rage (1982)
"John killed him, right? Didn't he?"
"I don't care if he murdered a hundred people. We're scientists, not moralists. You know that we're all expendable. John Kirby is the future. Because of him it's possible that millions of lives can be saved."
"Only if we could have perfected the process, but there's no time. I mean, nobody's going to give us the Nobel Prize for murder."
#silent rage#1982#american cinema#michael miller#joseph fraley#edward di lorenzo#chuck norris#ron silver#steven keats#toni kalem#william finley#brian libby#stephen furst#stephanie dunnam#joyce ingle#jay de plano#lillette zoe raley#peter bernstein#mark goldenberg#brainless Norris actioner; I've wanted to see this for a while‚ but only because of the presence of beloved Bill Finley (under used but an#absolute delight as always). this was Chuck's only foray into the vaguely sci fi or horror themed movie world‚ this being a kind of#Frankenstein take off (only with more roundhouse kicks). it was also his only time doing romantic scenes‚ something he was apparently#very uncomfortable with‚ and which he swore off ever doing onscreen again. he's not the strongest actor‚ altho his martial arts are#admittedly impressive; this is at its best when following Libby's man mountain homicidal killer (the opening ten minutes in particular#all restless handheld camera and sweaty mental break‚ are quite excellent). Libby was a stuntman but you'd never know he wasn't a trained#actor‚ he puts a hell of a lot into his performance. Furst's comic relief deputy‚ on the other hand‚ quickly grows tiresome#dumb as rocks and at times plain idiotic (Norris is satisfied he's killed the big bad by throwing him down a small well‚ despite the guy#having just survived much greater falls and a close range explosion without a scratch). fun synth score too but this is far from an#essential watch; for fans of brainless machismo and or Bill Finley being a weird nerd only (I'm the latter more than the former)

So, I was just looking for a Snow White gif set, and I came across quite a few posts expressing displeasure about Rachel Zegler’s flippant attitude to the original Disney film. And while I agree she was being a bit glib, you have to remember, it’s all about playing it up for the camera. Maybe her manager told her to push a love-to-hate-it angle. Who knows. Disney is still trying to work that little bit of feminism that is truly marketable but is ‘safe’ in their standards.
But what irritates me is that those posts immediately delve into the history and animation of the work in the film. As an artist, I totally respect the work and success Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was in 1937. It’s a beautiful piece, to be sure.
And Snow White was kind of modern for the movie’s supposed setting and time period! She has a bob! It’s easily demonstrated and acknowledged by the audience how hard she works, in both the castle and the cottage! She’s a upper class woman who manages to stay chaste despite living with, horror among horrors, seven unmarried men!
But, come on. She was relatively safe, barely pushing the envelope, in 1937. Women were in factories, wearing pants, and were still actively fighting for their rights at the time. All while weathering the Great Depression!
Films like Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman have already done more-feminine-modern takes on the tale. But Zegler isn’t wrong. If the original film’s story, no changes, came out today, it would be disappointing to a lot of feminists. So if you’ve watched the other live action Disney princess films, I’d say don’t knock the Snow White one just yet. It might actually offer something new but nice to more modern feminist audiences.
Just please don’t forget that something can be wonderful in one way and meh in another. The original film was an artistic masterpiece, but wasn’t the be-all end-all of feminism in the 30s. Check out this film, for example.
And hey, this is the webbed site of anxiety. You’ve all probably said things you regret, whether you ‘deserve’ to regret it or not. Don’t forget actors can make mistakes too. They’re human.
#Snow White#trust me I love the already-out there modern live action remake Mirror mirror#but I think you guys are being harsh#Ann Vickers#snow white 2024#what I liked best about the new little mermaid film was that we still got to see Ariel’s thoughts and passions (without it just being pixie#girl quirky) on land before her wedding to Eric#the expansion of her motivations#and a bunch of other little things that made it different from the original#I wouldn’t have seen it multiple times if it was just a carbon copy#my only complaint was that under the sea should’ve been a chorus song#some animals already sang!#but in any case I loved it#the parts I loved about the other live action Disney princess movies were the things they changed too! (mostly)#I enjoyed Belle actively using her book knowledge to invent#I like Cinderella having that one last conversation with tremaine and still managing to walk away fine and strong#maleficent’s new relationship with aurora was excellent#we got to see jasmine’s internal life richer and better than ever#and for all it’s faults I do appreciate that they tried making Mulan a warrior who didn’t have to hide her womanhood#I do think the Little Mermaid did it best though#so all in all#I think the new Snow White has potential

btw stxi still goes hard for me personally, im sorry to say
#objectively I understand that it's kind of just a shitty generic action movie#I get that. I do.#but all the tos nods do get ME personally#like when they show the enterprise for the first time i DO get full body chills. I do.#also chris pine's dumptruck ass features so heavily#and the like driving force of the movie is spock and kirk#I am. ONLY HUMAN.#what am I supposed to do?? not have a good time?????#did you HEAR mr. giacchino's pieces???#could it have used less sexism and unnecessary action sequences? that's what the fast forward button is for baby#my best friend leonard nimoy is there. it's a perfect movie.

damn do all the endings of resident evil games suck or is it just the newer ones
#i just finished village#like both it and biohazard have such dumb endings#biohazard is sooo good up until the fucking. exposition boat#and both of these have such obxious final or final adjacent bosses#that feel so out of place#either feeling like an action movie or a zelda boss#which is not good for a survival horror#i think they do the best when it's more close-quarters and puzzle solving#like my favorite sections of this and biohazard are donna and lucas' respectively#but this and biohazard are the only resident evil games i've played#but i've played biohazard many times it's one of my all-time favorite horror games (EXCEPT for that ending)#and overall i did like village quite a bit. the ending i didn't care for and the factory section was a little frustrating#but other than that i mostly had a really good time with it#i got it as a gift pretty soon after it came out but i wasn't able to play it until recently because my old computer couldn't run it#also. a big complaint for me with the ending. is making ethan more than Just Some Guy#because that's something i think is such an essential part of a good horror game for me#making him secretly special or already dead (???) or whatever just kills that for me#this is why outlast is still my favorite horror game of all time. miles is Just Some Guy#anyway i could rant more about this but i don't know if you guys want my Horror Game Hot Takes (tm)#what do you have to say doll?

US war movies, and war movies in general, are about Showcasing the Horrors of War and how much these poor soldiers suffered (if youre lucky, you will also see how these poor soldiers made others suffer too). the most important and valuable aspect of all quiet on the western front, what makes it stand out from other war movies, is that it does not have a happy ending. gringo war movies love to put a woman back home so the guy has a wife to come back to, a family to raise and a future to sustain. by focusing on that promise of a better future, we are all the more ready to forget about what happened before (or even worse, to excuse it as the ugly ugly means to get to the good things, a calvary to get to heaven)
postwar movies, as in, movies focused on what happens After the mass suffering and trauma of a society, have a bigger, harder to pinpoint power. these stories actually deal with guilty parties, with responsability and the aftermath of crimes, about the holes in the system that allows surviving victims to go without reparations and genocides and generals to continue to evade punishment. it replaces the adrenaline pumping excitement of a battlefield for the cold professionalism of courts and offices. after every war there is a process of reconditioning and readjustement. and if you cannot make an anti war war movie, then your best bet is a post war anti war movie. the only way you can make sense of the violence is by seeing everything from the distance of the future, and by reorganizing the truth into testimonies that can allow you to learn.
there is little to learn from suffering. there is more to learn from what remains after that suffering has happened.
#. 🦴#im half asleep but i hope this makes sense#when i watched argentina 1985 for the first time i kept comparing it to the post which is one of my favorite spielberg movies#bc argentina 1985 disappointed me in my wish to see something fresh and revolutionary#when in the end. it didnt need to be that#more importantly. it reminded me of how the post itself is. a post war movie#about the exposing of crimes by the state in the betrayal of their people during the vietnam war#and im thinking about that link#war movies defy nothing. they have been watered down to spectacles of brutality and suffering#and just like night and fog might be the best holocaust movie made. i think we might need that distance#we cannot see real brutality in the eye. not because we need to be sheltered#but because the fear and horrors paralyze us#when what we need is action and justice. not resignation and self satisfaction at the fact#that we have left it all in the past#how can we possibly learn by remaining contented?

Wow, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny seems to be one of the most divisive movie in the series, again.
Yeah, when 3 out of 5 movies gets people fighting you wonder why the audience hasn't relaxed yet...
My thoughts? Personally I think 1, 3 and 4 are the best there is (yes, I love the 4th movie). The 2nd one is mostly just weird for the sake of being weird. Now the 5th one I would place somewhere between those two categories- very much above Temple of Doom but not as captivating as Raiders, Last Crusade or Cristal Scull.
#yeah you heard me right#I love kingdom of the Cristal Scull#Dial of Destiny was fine#actually- the story is amazing#especially the theme about time & aging#it also had some great action#that last scene was THE BEST!!!!! <3#but I felt it was lacking something...#but over all glad I watched it in cinemas#Indiana Jones#indiana jones and the dial of destiny#movies#things i like

-sighs- Why is the The Flash movie trailer so good? -cries-
#why did i let myself watch it? i knew i shouldn't have. since i really want to boycott this movie tbh#tbh i think i'm definitely seeing just by this trailer why the film has tested so well and why studio heads are saying it's one of the best#superhero movies of all time#ezra miller. why did you have to do the things you did? i would have been HAPPY to support this movie otherwise#i mean this movie's based on flashpoint. which is an amazing storyline. so it was probably always going to be partly great because of that.#but it really does look like everyone involved has just done an exceptional job on this. should i punish all of them just because of ezra's#actions? i don't know. i may have to think about it some more...
