Honestly, fuck Channel Awesome; but I have to admit that I still do the thing where I pump both fists in the air and shout "SYMBOLISM!" when there's a particularly obvious use of it in a bad movie.

Film school really does ruin you. I’m trying to watch phineas and ferb and all I can think about is how Doofenshmirtz and his brother Roger represent Americanization and what it takes to succeed as an immigrant in America

Bad Movie Beatdown: Total Recall (2012) (REVIEW)

THE UNINVITED dir. Lewis Allen, 1944

I edited this look at three Mary-Kate & Ashley shorts from my friends @allisonpregler and @phelous - which required watching more MK&A than medically advisable and took some rather dark turns...

I’m thinking about Mahito’s great great uncle maintaining and preserving a peaceful and beautiful thing in a way that to an outside observer looks tedious and unimportant, hoping to pass the duty off to a successor but ultimately he cannot find one and dies with it.

I’m thinking about the specificity of the blocks being made and handled with care, not with malice or ill intent.

I’m thinking about Hayao Miyazaki, a bastion of beautiful 2d hand drawn animation who refuses to retire.

I’m thinking about a world where animation is so rarely made with love over profit and efficiency.

I’m thinking about how, though the old man didn’t see it, the next generation still hangs onto a piece of that beautiful, tedious thing and takes it with them because it feels important.

I’m thinking about Mahito being told he should forget, but no. He shouldn’t.

now i’m thinking about how men are like “hmm. i don’t get it” in regards to Barbie and how women spend their whole lives listening to men’s stories and learning how to relate to them abstractly because they’re not made for them. now the roles are reversed and instead of men being willing to find themselves in a story about women and motherhood and daughterhood, they shut down because they’re not forced to empathize the way women are.
