Me when yet another live action drama is only sad for sadness sake, pulls random stuff out of nowhere not even trying to pretend they're not making everything up as they go, and makes the characters 1 dimensional, but the costuming in the waltz scene is to die for, the camara work fully immerses you, the violins going ape in the score when THAT character comes running toward our hero legit sends your heart a flutter, and that one chick's acting are breathtaking, not just in that one scene she cries a lot, but in every sigh, every wry smile, every sentence spoken with just her eyes, giving us a visual symphony in a movie that was honestly probably though up by a computer of a bored billionaire, all of this talent making even ME be able to last the whole movie because even if the higher ups didn't try, didn't care, dangit, someone did!!! And I love them! And I hope and pray they get the chance to all unionize and get treated better and get appreciated!!!

And when my teeny attention span, exhausted from actually somewhat concentrating on something bleh for over an hour, can be convinced by a youtuber to spend ANOTHER hour on the topic of this media?? With editing skills and jokes that make a thousand advertising companies and comedians cry in jealousy? That I remember for days after, despite being a video about the newest dramady, blorbo mceebeysans goes to California to out love triangle his ex smippy doosia the third?? In 3d??? People actually loving what they do is a powerful thing man. Cringe didn't die of natural causes, we best it to death with our fists.

my two favorite artistic creations on this earth are incredibly well written reviews for bad movies and tv shows, and the painstakingly crafted costumes, makeup, production design, score, and sound work on bad movies and tv. the overall piece of media is bad, but someone was able to make something beautiful despite that. film critics flex their best prose describing how bad something flopped. the production teams behind stupid and bad projects might even know things are stupid and bad but work their ass off on their portion, knowing people might not even care bc the direction, writing, or acting was bad. i hope all those people know i love and support and see you. when i walk out of the theater or finish a show i thought was fucking garbage, know that i still appreciated your meticulous work. i am rooting for your shit to be recognized somewhere better. i saw the detail you put into it and my disappointment lies in all that was wasted. the film critic writing the best takedown of all time? i know you've been waiting for this and i see you. i love the good art that grows in the cracks of the sidewalk of bad art.

#this is why i stick to animation usuallyyyyyyy #so many live action directors are too in love with themselves to listen to others #let alone doubt their perfection and actually take time to check for any coherency or pacing within the fumble of *plot*#they use to string together their random arse character deaths #and then praise themselves left and right when they accidentally actually let us get enough time to know a character long enough #that the death actually has weight; let alone matches the themes of the show in bitter sequence or irony #and then promply fire whoever helped that arc become a reality when they demand fair pay #meanwhile animation directors; to anyone outside of specific nerdy animation aficionados; are unknown #too overworked to even joke about the idea of big headed; too busy holding onto dear coworkers not laid off yet like lifeboats #to ever dare think of not needing or appreciating the found family they work alongside #not saying ALL animation creators are humble darlings; disasters like butch fartman come along once in a while #but at least shoot themselves in the foot quickly #while popular life action writers and directors say a different slur every week and somehow are still worshiped #nonono im not bitter about hollywoods obsession with big names and reputation over ideas and creativity.#not #not at all #im normal im normal the amount of tags i used is so normal #so yea the puppeteers and makeup crew and stunt doubles and animators and cgi and animal trainers and artists and researchers #and translators and sound designers and lighting and editors and dancers and choreographers and singers and musicians #not getting payed nowhere near enough; even though i usually just spend my time obsessing over animation; i cant thank all of u enough #for your passion shining through and keepin me from absolutely losing it an runnin off in the woods somewheres #and never seeing a mooviiii again
