I’m reading reviews for the new season of IWTV (very excited. highly recommend the first season.) and they all allude to this Problem with a good chunk of the second half of the season and it’s kind of freeing to know that every iteration of IWTV will just have this inherent flaw where—no matter how you work it or how talented the other actors are or how compelling you make Louis or Armand or Claudia or Daniel—Lestat still disappears for part of the story and it kills the vibe because he is the driving force for conflict and you need conflict to make a story Go

tbh i don't think i would even be suprised if it turned out the playbills were never even produced in the first place and were just part of a scam by spindlehorse and viv to make fans spend even more money on the merch package then they already would've w/o it by making it look like the merch bundle would have more than it really has.

yeah thats partly what i meant; i was also thinking maybe they WERE gonna make it but stuff went pear-shaped in the process and they realized too late that it just aint gonna happen, but they cant refund everyone cuz tbh they probably already spent the money

but yeah i also would NOT put it past them to have just planned this from the start, like youre saying. the super-dedicated fans have shown how easy it is to treat them like garbage & then placate them with cutesy bullshit; someone as greedy and unprofessional as v*vz*epop probably sees dollar signs at the mere thought. time for a fourth cruise this year, or a third taxidermied peacock to match the first two she bragged about buying at over $6000 a pop

Finally made it to the point where I can enjoy all the cool power scenes in Loki without giving a shit about the fuckass characterisation, and I gotta tell you it’s a peaceful place to be 😌

once again. action movies are not the enemy of horror. the academy hates them BOTH even though both, probably more than any other genres, tend to actually push the boundaries of what you can do with a camera, what you can put in a movie. the last action movie to receive a best picture nomination was mad max: fury road seven (7) years ago. an action movie had to be credited with saving movie theaters before the academy would nominate another one. top gun maverick literally invented a new camera, put six of them in a cockpit, and pioneered new aerial filming techniques that had never even been attempted before. action is not the enemy of horror. turn your ire towards biopics, dramas that may or may not actually exist, and whatever self satisfied shit ruben östlund insists on cooking up.

Totk really is on the cusp of difficulty where anything less difficult can be beaten by children, and anything more difficult requires a difficulty adjuster to appeal to a variety of players. If Nintendo wants to keep down this road they seriously need to include an easy mode

it's so funny every time people see a story comparing a cruise ship to the titanic they're like "when will we ever learn 😔" jdksnd no offense but you have no idea what you're talking about.

Willa Paskin (of Slate's Decoder Ring) brings Sarah back to 2005, when Tom Cruise jumping on a couch became the talk of the town.

jordan peele made a movie that said this industry and the media surrounding it chews people up to a pulp and spits them out and then wonders why they’re dead or crazy and then has the audacity to make content from their deaths and their insanity and the only way you can survive is if you keep your head down because if you just so happen to slip up if you look up look around when you know you shouldn’t the industry the media everything is going to eat you alive and I totally believe that the powers that be who do the chewing and the spitting and the exploitative death content did not like that at all

i’m a bit bummed and how little recognition NOPE has received this awards season i will say it
