i feel like movie maker would have a collection of LPS from when they were a kid... a little film maker in the making ^_^
REALLY LATE TO ANSWERING THIS BUT YES i think he would hold onto alot of things from their past dearly including childhood collections 🥹 old scrapbooks, diaries etc. All artists had to start somewhere!
#maybe when they wanted to get into this kinda thing they'd write out scripts in journals#for future films they wanted to make#i was originally gonna draw something for this but i forgor and i feel bad for not answering it so im just writing out my thoughts instead#i will however provide doodles for some of ur other asks (evil smile

Sometimes I think I desperately want a star trek show or movie or something that revisits ds9 and what they're doing now....and then I think about how none of the new shows can seem to quite capture the....the vibes. The atmosphere (the film cameras and lack of advanced technology tbh) of the older shows and I just sigh and realize I don't actually want anything about ds9
#star trek#ds9#not saying the newer shows are bad#i cant really say that because like....#i have only watched picard#but#theyre all too#shiny#too digital#too bright#i miss the days when star trek was donw with a film canera#and when we didnt know what technology would advance to so we had this cute little gadget designs#instead of having#projected screens and smart phones and devices tou can see straight through#i want phasers you have to flip to open thats a big bulky thing#i want the cheesey effects of people being transported#i want costumes with beautiful attention to detail but also the ugliest of fabrics that somehow make them perfect#i want starships with carpets#i just dont vibe with the new show designs and stuff#and like i get it#its set in the future#advanced technology and all that jazz#but i casually miss the atmosphere and vibes that were the shows before the 2000s

the absolute lack of media literacy from people who haven’t even seen oppenheimer is making my head spin but whatever
#like - every three seconds it’s someone talking about how it’s us military prop or it doesn’t cover the atrocities well etc etc#when a) it is so definitely NOT us propoganda- it is so clearly critiquing the us military and oppenheimer himself#and b) it doesn’t cover every small detail of the impacts of the bomb bc that’s not what the film is about#it is a screenplay adapted from a biography on oppenheimer#it is about him - a biopic - and how he got to the point of making atomic weapons and ends on a note of undeniable horror#it is a movie that constantly bombards you with anxiety bc you have the burden of knowing the future#it is not in any way forgiving anything - it acknowledges the fucked up nature of the situation#hell it’s mostly a courtroom drama that shows how fucked up mccarthyism was#i’m a big history buff - so this plays a lot into it#but y’all have GOT to just stop seeinf things on a surface level and engage with media w/ a deeper mindset of just ‘thing bad’#anyway - sorry it bothers me a lot#there are genuine criticims that can be leveled at both nolan and this film and i have seen them#im not sitting here calling the end all be all of cinema - but it’s a well made movie w/ something interesting to say and evaluate#not wanting to see it is one thing - by all means - but wringing it through the mud w/ absolutely no knowledge of the actual content of -#the film itself is actively annoying#media literacy#oppenheimer#mini rant

It's time for my annual day of thinking about that one really weird jukebox musical made by Disney and lucasfilms that I hate and adore with every fiber of my being. I hate it because it's a jukebox musical and half the characters are the worst things ever and the writing is really bad alot of the time and I love it because the relationship between the main two characters is the GREATEST ENEMIES TO LOVERS I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME and it's a straight couple and it's not cringe (or it's good cringe idk) AND I can cut the tension when they are flirting with a knife and it's funny
...this post is about Strange Magic by the way. It's amazing and terrible all at once and I need to talk about it at some point because I've been thinking about it again
#Strange Magic#What#What the fuck do I tag this as#Is there even a fandom for this movie?#Maybe idk.#This is one of those times I wish I had a YT channel because then I could rant while also having fun drawings in the background but nOoOOOo#Guys I'm not autistic I swear#I'm just a little silly#Anyway#Blowing this movie up with my mind#Ngl I wish this movie had all the beatles songs it originally wanted#Not fucking#Taylor Swift what the fuck#I don't like jukebox musicals I'm sorry#Like I don't mind copyrighted songs in films when it's done right#I mean my favorite movies are guardians of the galaxy movies. But like#This??#COVERS of the songs??#No.#Please stop.#But also#I love this movie sm it's so weird.#Like I can't watch this movie without pausing it to cringe or skipping past the songs sometimes#But I love it so much.#Like#marianne and- bog king's chemistry?#GRGRGRRGRG#THEY ARE SO INTERESTING#anyway.#I'll probably make a actual post about this in the future because I'm not sane.

every time i see someone call tron 'cyberpunk', i lose ten years off my lifespan
#note to self literally never read letterboxd reviews of movies i like i cant do it anymore kdjfgkdssd#say you saw the movie and the plot and visuals went right over your head without saying it#like. in what world is tron dystopic?? cyberpunk in itself is an offshoot of dystopian fiction. tron is not about an imagined future#tron is about an imagined PRESENT. thinking about our PRESENT relationship with technology in relation to the times each film was released#tron is in equal measures hopeful and critical about technology. that is NOT cyberpunk#the only CyberPunk that matters in tron is the Tron2.0 character of the same name#i will admit that tron's plot is cyberpunk derived but its. idk man its not the same thing#thematically its different. visually i think tron shares developmental artists with blade runner where the cyberpunk visual stereotype was#- established#but blade runner is more pure cyberpunk thematically than tron is. does that make any sense#and. and. listen to me. i am number one retrofuture fan. i love syd mead. i love moebius. but listen. just because they worked on tron -#- does NOT mean tron is thematically OR visually retrofuturistic either!! the visuals match the time it was made!! thats not retrofuturism!#thats normal scifi based on the every day!!!#tron is a sandbox and at the end of the day anyone can do whatever they want its all just for fun#at the same time. the entire story of tron is being severely misrepresented when labelled as cyberpunk. and it makes me sad#these are very shallow thoughts i just miss literary thematic analysis sometimes. my film studies classes cannot come soon enough#rex speaks

okay so i could write a very long essay on what i like and dislike about the dark phoenix movie but the tldr is that while i end up pausing the older films so i can let out my excitement about them i end up pausing this one so i can let out my rage
#el talks#seriously the only reason why the timeline got fucked with was so they could in-universe retcon the events of last stand so why the FUCK#did they then go and make this film anyway#new timeline charles - who knows exactly what his counterpart did and what it led to - would not have been this stubborn about fucking up#i can buy that he would've edited her memories! he'd have seen it as better than what his counterpart did before#but the moment it went wrong he would've ALREADY KNOWN where it could lead. he fucked up! he knows it! why is he acting like he was right!#HE ALREADY KNOWS HE'S NOT HE SAW THE OTHER FUTURE HE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED THERE#but hey if you're here for jean/scott then this film is about all you get. at least she doesn't kill him this time#every single one of these characters deserves better than this#in all her scenes it's so deeply obvious that jennifer lawrence does NOT want to be there. and she's right

I'd like to think in the hypothetical post-scarcity/capitalism utopia there would still be people who want to make movies and there would thus also still be people like me, who want to open theaters where you can go and watch them.
#sometimes I think in our desperation to imagine a better future#a lot of us forget that like#you CAN make movies and video games ethically#and people will still WANT TO DO THAT#and I don't think being like 'you're just gonna have to get used to not having movies and video games' is helpful#bcs yeah we probably wouldn't be able to have a marvel movie every 6 months or dozens of AAA games#but people still love telling stories#indie films and games exist and are often BETTER than huge budget ones#and they can be made in ways that don't harm the environment or the people making them#and so yea we will still have fun things in the future#it's not gonna be all books and nothing else#and idk I think there's something very special about going to a movie theater#and tbh if I had no profit motive at all#if I was super rich#I would love to run a theater that's accessible and ethical and environmentally friendly#and I know a lot of other people would love that too

Hey uh, quick question, was it ever explained what the fuck Mal did as Lady of the Court or
#fuck was it ever explained what the court does????#as descendants was all about modern stuff#and really no clue what modern courts would do#let alone what descendants ones do#let alone what mal does as a lady of it????#does that just mean shes the kings girlfriend or#does she have duties or#cause everyone was making a big deal of it#and third film did not explain#as they just went straight into future queen stuff#and the court wasnt mentioned there just the most brain cell-less council#(except for ben he has some brain cells still#even if film determined to kill them so he'll do what mal wants)

@beatingheart-bride
"I had no idea," Randall admitted, as he held Emily close, rubbing her arm gently to bring her some comfort (as well as to bring himself some too, given everything weighing on his mind as well). "I...there's a lot I didn't know they'd say since you got here!"
His parents offering her the key to the house as a gesture of trust, being so sympathetic to her story when they heard it, wanting her to have a place in their family through their marriage, assuring her that she would have their support no matter what...it was all completely unexpected to him, especially in the face of their previous rejection of her, but it was far from being an unwelcome change of heart, that was for sure.
"I know it feels...really surreal, honestly, but...I'm still happy with how this has all gone since last night," he confessed, smiling lightly to her: How could he not be? His parents were able to mend fences and make amends with Emily, they'd gotten to truly know her, to trust her, and had come to care for her, enough to welcome her into their home and their family with open arms. It was the outcome he'd hoped for that night he brought Emily home to reveal the big news to them, and although that outcome had been delayed, he was glad it came to fruition after all.
The elephant in the room was still there, of course-the topic of mortality versus immortality, a life shared eternally, or to be doomed to be parted once again by age and time...but Randall just didn't want to think about it now. All he wanted to think about was Emily, the sensation of her in his arms, and how at peace he was with her.
#((it is! so many roles have a revolving door of actors behind them; so to see mancini stick with the originals))#((is genuinely refreshing; and even if scheduling conflicts arise; he makes it work!))#((that being said it really is a shame 'seed' did so poorly; because glen and glenda *are* genuinely interesting))#((and their story was defidently ahead of its time for the early 2000s!))#((it's also a nod to ed wood and his film 'glen or glenda'; which touches on intersexuality; crossdressing; and transgenderism))#((and although its portrayals are very much fair for its day in the 1950s; it still has a resonance))#((and considering ed wood himself was a queer filmmaker; much like mancini himself))#((i can see why he'd want to pay tribute to those who came before; and i think he did it very well with glen and glenda!))#((again; it'd be nice to see more of gg in the future; and maybe they'll go toe-to-toe with their parents again next season!))#outofhatboxes#beatingheart-bride#V:Dark Shadows

lied again. it’s also a game preservation issue to me. last year, the wii and 3ds e-shops closed down. i believe there was an effort to archive all the games on there that went as successfully as it could, but that was only games on there available before it closed, not counting games removed beforehand for one reason or another. how many games did we just. lose? because game companies don’t give a shit about preservation, and even less for preservation of games that just aren’t impressive, aren’t meaningful in the way things like. the legend of zelda are.
who in their right mind would dedicate resources to making sure that Rio on the ds is made continuously available for archival purposes, right? but it matters. even the shit games matter. every terrible atari game from when people really didn’t know what the hell they were making, every nes title that probably has its own angry video game nerd rant dedicated to it, and every terrible wii tie-in game that no one asked for. leave it up to the companies who made those games, and they’d disappear. especially nowadays with the prevalence of digital copies over physical ones, it feels so precarious. at least there was some stability in know that there were probably going to be thousands of physical copies made of those past games. take down a digital-only game when nobody’s looking, does it make a sound?
idk. it upsets me, the idea that these things, even as seemingly worthless and bad as they are, could be lost. would be lost, if the people in charge had a say in it.
#someone once said that ‘no one gets into lost media because they think theyre going to find high art. they just want to know what they arent#allowed to see.’ and like. yeah. i think that resonates here. i dont want bolt for the wii to be preserved because i think its a masterpiece#of game design and a lifechanging experience to play. i want it preserved because it has worth just by being.#people compare early film history to this growing wave of resistance to game preservation by companies trying to fight emulation/piracy#while not taking care of their shit on their own. how so many early films were lost when companies flat out burned them and shit for not#making a profit. and you know? would it matter if they were good movies? bad movies? would it matter?#someone made them. and they were destroyed. and we will never see them again.#its late lmao you can tell im tired because im getting emotional about fuckin. happy feet wii game. or some shit.#but i think it would be a huge shame if someday in the future all we had to look back on were super mario bros and legend of zeldas#and no room in our world for our friday the 13ths and our ETs.

the st writers really are holding up a neon sign that says time travel for st5 aren't they
#&. which star wars? / the one with the teddy bears duh ( ooc. )#i feel like we should all have seen this coming with the back to the future references in s3#what are the chances they have to go 'back' to 83 in order to save the world/max ? i want to say likely#the fact there's gonna be a play set in the 50s also makes me feel that way too tbh#there's too much focus on 'going back to the beginning' for it to be a coincidence#i just hope the show sticks the landing#characterisation issues are to be expected at this point. i just want them to wrap up the overarching plot in a satisfying way#anyway filming pics sooooon ? looking forward to those lmao#the st4 ones were fun
