have you seen the live action death note films? not the netflix one i mean, the four japanese ones (2006, 2006, 2008 and 2014 respectively). if you haven't, the first two are adaptations of the manga (although with some really massive story changes in both of them), the third is an adaptation of an L spinoff novel, and the last is a completely original story
i actually just bought the first two on dvd fairly recently and started watching the first one while travelling but didn't finish it due to the travelling. i was enjoying it though so i'm looking forward to finishing it!!
i HAVE watched L change the world and actually i watched it not long after i first got into death note. i loved it so very dearly. i loved the light novel too. haven't seen the last one and tbh wasn't super interested in it but i'll check it out if you guys think it's good??
#l change the world ruined my life and then ruined my life a second time between the movie and the book#l with small children just learning to cope with there being small children. while actively dying. fucked up. it's so fucked up#asks#i wanted to get it on dvd as well but it's weirdly hard to find a dvd with the eng dub as well as subs and i just have a real soft spot for#l's english voice so as weird an experience as it generally is to watch live action films dubbed over#i did really enjoy the experience of it and would like to have the option if i owned it#but alas. it's hard to find. also yes im a dvd guy. fuckin love dvds

It's always interesting to hear about people's weird/unexpected "alternate life paths". Like, something that you could have done with your life, a job you almost took, a school you almost went to, etc - that was still actually realistic enough that it could have happened, but NOW it seems to not suit your current personality.
Like for example, I currently hate advertising (how manipulative it is, brands trying to be 'relatable', social media amplifying it to an obnoxious extreme, etc.) so much that even seeing a little ad before a youtube video is grating to even witness, but there was a point in time where I was genuinely seriously considering going into marketing/making commercials as a career lol. Or like, I have a relative who was very inclined to be a pastor when they were younger, even though today they're a super strong atheist, etc. etc.
#BECAUSE I knew I really liked filming and editing things and doing set design and costume design (from having done little bits of that#here and there in media classes and my own stuff - i used to be a lot more into making videos than I am now). BUT I was always thinking#that a movie is WAAY to big and long. even a short film. So I was trying to think of ways I could still like#have the fun of scouting locations to film and dressing up actors and etc. etc. without it having to be a Huge Million Dollar Production#on tv show or movie level. SO then I was thinking about like... just doing commercials. Or music videos. Like shorter things where I still#get the fun of the filming and everything but it's less of an intensive long term project.#So there is an alternate version of me (I suppose if i somehow did not end up having physical and mental health issues#as badly somehow.. or like.. randomly came into wealth and was able to pay my way through a nice college despite missing#days constantly being out because I'm sick or something lol) that works in some corporate advertising office coming up with commercials#and directing or filming them or doing the sets for them or something in that general vicinity.#I also was considering being a corporate psychologist. or whatever its called.. oh from google:#''Industrial and organizational (I/O) psychologists study and assess individual group and organization dynamics in the workplace''#I don't think I even knew what the job entailed. I was at the time just thinking like.. the type of person that comes into a business offic#and gives everyone personality assessments or does MBTI or big-5 testing crap for whatever reason that some businesses get that#done for people. Really i just wanted to be in a Corporate Big Office setting yet still do psychology. Because I used to be really fixated#on living in a big city. Like the ideas of everything being walkable. picking up a coffee in the morning. walking to my job in a Big#Skyscraper Building. people watching in a huge hotel lobby for lunch. flying frequently (I love airplanes and airports aesthetically).#living in an apartment with a giant window overlooking the city. etc. etc. BUT that was before i had really BEEN to a city. Then I actually#hung around a city a few times and went places and I was like... AUGh... The Sensory Overwhelm.. cars people lights loudness noise scary#everything happening all at once. etc. etc. (though even when I wanted to live in a city i NEVER strove for the Night Life. when i say I#enjoy city imagery I mean like... in the day time. Many people who like cities talk about The Night Life and post pictures of cities all#lit up at night and clubs and dancing and restaurants. none of that EVER appealed to me. perhaps a sign I am not a real city person. Like#I am NOT standing in a crowded bar full of loud people in the middle of the night lol.. get AWAY from me!!) but I do adore the#architecture of like bright white clean sterile modern spaces like huge airport lobbies or malls or etc. I think thats what reminded me of#city and what I liked about the idea of that life. Like I always LOVED the layout of schools and hospitals and trainstations and public#transport in general. Though even then I knew enough that I would not be a good architect/city planner. so I guess my adoration for those#spaces was merely to be channeled into LIVING there. but then I realized I didn't even really want to do that that much. I mean I still#definitely aim to live NEAR a city. like the little areas outside of it. I would never live in a rural place 4 hours from anything. I liter#ally just COULDNT since I need close access to hospitals sometimes lol. But I used to want to live in the CENTER of citites like high rise#condo. and now I'm like.... eh....... perhaps a smaller quieter walkable space nearby lol.. ANYWAY.. alternate me in my Business Suit eheh

The two stories/series/media creations that make me want to gnaw on the drywall right now are Revolutionary Girl Utena, a masterful deconstruction of tropes rooted in sexism and queerphobia but with pervasive racist/imperialist elements* in the background, and Dune, a masterful deconstruction of tropes rooted in racism and imperialism but with pervasive sexist/queerphobic** elements in the background. it's hilarious it's like they're made to cancel each other out
#shitpost#rgu#sky#revolutionary girl utena#shoujo kakumei utena#dune#dune series#dune movie#*i'm not the only one who thinks that akio and anthy being the only ones with skin darker than snow white's is kinda weird right?#that's not just me?#something something japanese imperialism and the exotification/fetishization of Desi people or darker-skinned people in general#**the recent movies do a better job of this but hoo boy the books are Utterly Saturated with heteronormativity and the gender binary#the whole thing with the Bene Gesserit and the Kwisatz Haderach can really only exist with the acceptance of the gender binary#and it breaks down once you try to analyze why it's in place. in order for it to work you just kinda need to ignore the existence of#intersex/transgender/genderqueer/nonbinary people and treat the categories of 'men' and 'women' as mutually exclusive homogenous boxes#and then of course there's the fact that in the books all the female characters are either Bene Gesserit or Fremen (wives)#the Dune books very much treat men as the default#as a final note i'd joke like “posts that are gonna get me cancelled for enjoying Problematic Shit” but like#i don't think either the rgu or the dune fandoms are that kind of community lol

wild robot is really good and i’m mad the trailers made me think it might not be
#i’m not talking about the visuals those were always gorgeous#it was 95% the audio editing in the trailers that pissed me off#made it seem really boring and obligatory ‘every thing speaks english bc it’s a kids movie’#AND it just made her sound super ai generated#but they actually did it really well and i greatly enjoyed how translation was actually part of the plot and point#i’m glad we’re still making good impactful kids movies. why did pedro pascal sound like ben schwartz

me when someone tells me to watch something because it's 'really good': okay sure...I'll add it to my list... (I will watch it in the next 3 months to 10 years)
me when someone tells me not to watch something because it's 'really bad': okay. putting that next on my list as we speak.
#I enjoy really bad movies generally sith creatures or destruction#So if thats what you mean I'll love it#And if you're going it's really bad because of these really proper factors and my opinion#Then I'm gonna watch it. If I'm not a fan of you I will be determined to love it. If I love you I just want to see if I agree#if you're like. This is really bad for legitimately awful reasons then no i won't watch it. But that's about it#When you rec me stuff that's good i actually do always add it to my list.#I just have a really long list and very little motivation to watch new stuff#But if it's bad well...that's just fun. And I'm curious

im the victim of a HORRIBLE TRAGEDY (couldn't find my CD with the promare OST in my big heavy box of CDs :((((((( )
#BUT WHERE IS IT IF NOT IN THERE#DID I HAVE CD OVERFLOW?? DID I PUT IN OTHER BOXES??#most of my belongings are in a stack of boxes under the stairs in my parents' house and i do not have the strength to rifle through them#the soundtrack is not really available on spotify and youtube so i was like thats fine ill just FIND MY PHYSICAL COPY OF THE CD#AND I'LL REMEMBER TO RIP IT THIS TIME BECAUSE APPARENTLY I DID NOT DO THAT WHEN I GOT IT#AHHHHHHHHHHHH#(like the music is not 100% unavailable online it's not lost media or anything it's fine)#i DO however. have my promare dvd#which i STUPIDLY ORDERED FROM AMERICA. FORGETTING THAT DVDS ARE REGION LOCKED. IM STUPID!!!! STUPID#vlc media will play it though so it's not useless either im just. im trying so hard im trying so hard i love this movie so much#but i wish it was more available to enjoy without so much effort!!!!#i hope my laptop will live a long good time because i managed to get one with a CD tray still#(the laptop in question has already suffered two blue screen deaths in its lifetime)#when i was young and naive i thought maybe the next generation of laptops will be able to play blu-ray which was the hot new thing#but what happened instead was that they got rid of cd trays. evil! evil evil

Cannot recommend Heretic enough omg
#exmo#i got the impression that it wasn't really about Mormonism and more about religion generally#like a nuanced mormon publication said said it doesn't take any cheap shots at the church#so i had the impression that it didnt really focus on the church and i was SUPER wrong#more like super viciously accurate shots at the church that absolutely deserve to be called out#but also you can know nothing about Mormonism and enjoy this movie#it also gets into the critical issues with religion generally#sorry this is super all over the place im just really excited that theres a mainstream movie address the church like this#i think it was an exmormon publication that i read the review of#cause i cant think of any mormon who wouldn't call the underwear stuff a cheap shot#i do think its also very fair to people w religious/spiritual beliefs#not getting into spoilers

survived Badly (argh) but going to work on fic for as long as I continue to enjoy doing so then switch over -- see if I can find somewhere to watch The 400 Blows and probably cry forever and dehydrate and feel soooo sad and then feel better after. Thank you French New Wave
#boooo whatever saying nonsense nothing matters delete later#somebody should invent a proximity to your parents that doesn't immediately make you so emotionally weird forever#overdramatic. Im feeling fine im eating some crackers and lying around chilling. Just. Weird. Off Balance..#Mild Disturbance in my Year of Exceptional Emotional/Mental Chill#not gonna let it break my 2024 streak of feeling generally Pretty Freakin Good and mostly Recovered From The Lost Year#Which btw. can I say... have i said...? Genuinely having one of the nicest years of my life so far... feeling really pretty good#mfw having more control over your life + surroundings + choices + living circumstances means you can genuinely#meaningfully improve ur day-to-day lived experiences and find what works for u to keep u happy + healthy + excited about life... magic#anyway. brief Huh I Feel Kind Of Bad And Sad In A Deeper Way Kicked Off By But Unrelated To Events Of The Day moment earlier#really made me realize how exceptionally good I've had it so far this year... i think... it's possible... things Do Get Better#anyway. ok done Tag Blogging now. just hope everyone enjoys a nice treat or something. get good sleep enjoy ur time change if it applies#watch a movie or something. idk have fun guys have a good night

hi ben maybe this is cheating bc you have a cry counter going but I get the sense you cry when watching other shows or movies as well...like you're deeply struck emotionally by stories in general (btw, I don't think I know your other favorite pieces of media? 👀)
my other assumption is that you love wearing big ol' boots :)
ooooh yeah big time. there are songs I can't listen to while I'm driving because they'll make me cry too much 😭 I cry all the time at everything not even just media. sometimes I just cry about like. birds in the park. the scene in my fic where wei wuxian meets the little girl with the injured bee is inspired by a video I saw about someone who had found a bee without any wings and brought it home and was taking care of it and it made me burst into tears with my love for humanity
and I DO love a good big boot. I wore big boots today in fact
#my big platform docs that cost an amount of money we don't need to talk about 💖#I hate driving in big boots tho#hmm other favorite medias 🤔#I love lotr both the movies and the books#I have many a beloved d20 seasons#tho I generally don't actually watch a lot of shows because I find them hard to get through even when I like them#ough the girl from the other side is one of my favorite manga series and books in general#if you enjoy fantastic world building and intersting heartbreaking commentary on love. highly recommend#as well as really beautiful art!!#oooh and how could I forget wha#I love a lot of ghibli movies and a lot of cheesy horror#and too much music to list in the tags#in general I wish I read more books and watched more movies#because there are so many I think I'd really live but can just never seem to find the time for#anyway LMAO hii ty for the ask :^)#ask#mewts#oh my god this reminded me that I've had a library book due for like a week oops 😭

Me: I do not care about Descendants enough to watch that new movie. I barely cared when I saw the original ones. Me: *Watches one behind-the-scenes dance rehearsal of Brandy and Paolo* Me: *Silently SOBBING* Me: Ok fine. Fine. I know they have barely any screentime but AH ok. Fine.
#descendants#like legit i KNOW they probably have 10 minutes total of screentime since the movie is about the kids time traveling#but still ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh#also this reminds me of the time i saw Paolo in an off-broadway show (shoutout to Bella: An American Tall Tale)#(very weird show and i was the only person in my musical theatre intensive who enjoyed it)#(look the song The Language of My Nose and Lips and Hair really spoke to me as the only Black girl in that class ok.)#and i remember thinking this man was SO attractive but could not put my finger on why he looked kinda familiar#then at intermission i properly read the playbill and i was like THE PRINCE!?!??!?!?!#since at this point it'd been 20 years since cinderella and the man had not. aged. a. DAY.#oh and a few years prior when Brandy was Roxie in Chicago i went to Stars in the Alley and to this day i'm not sure what came over me#but her coming onstage to sing Roxie made my little tiny child self come to the surface and i SCREAMED in excitement#and my friend was like '...what was that' and i was like '...i have no idea... i didn't realize she'd have this affect on me...'#i really went from 'it's cool she's on broadway. i probably won't see it though.' to ear piercingly high screeching#i think i'm gonna give in and watch this stupid movie. i say 'stupid' affectionately.#because i generally enjoyed the other movies even if they're not my favorite of the DCOMs. but it's really just to see them.

weird identity post warning
i’m a trans man who thought i was a lesbian for a long time and i figured it out eventually but when i did i was really hesitant to let go of the label bc i had found so much community through it. i’d found people who understood me, queer shows and movies, and music that i resonated with. and even though it’s not for me anymore, i still feel very connected to that, especially the music, but i also often feel like i’m not allowed to enjoy it or that i’m intruding on something that is only for wlw, or even just women in general. and i can always understand and connect with it because of my experience before i transitioned but when i engage with certain media, especially in public, it still looks and feels like i’m intruding or trying to make it about me. i feel kind of stuck sometimes- like i’m trying to step away from things that were not made for me, but by doing that there isn’t much that i can connect with. everything made for men is never for all men, it’s for cis men. everything for trans men is either kalvin garrah-fied or cavetown and there’s hardly ever an in between. don’t get me wrong, i enjoy cavetown, but i want something outside of that. anyways. there’s no resolution to this, i don’t have a solution or whatever, i just wanted to say it and see if anyone resonates
#miles thots#i’ve actually been wanting to say it for a long time i just couldn’t find the words#and i don’t think that this perfectly encapsulates what i feel but it’s the best i can do#this came up today bc i’ve been really enjoying boygenius but again- it’s not for me#and i feel really guilty taking up that space#and the guilt has been coming up a lot more recently with more people saying ‘this is for the girlies’ or ‘only girls will understand’ and-#just the whole ‘girl’ language in general especially as a swiftie. like ‘taylor swift girlies’ and i’m just some dude who happened to be a#girl when i started listening to her and now am not but i still love her and her music but i feel like i’m not allowed to or i’m taking spac#from a woman who Actually belongs here#and then the barbie movie and i’m like- i get it i really do but i’m a man so i shouldn’t get it#idk!!#wait fuck this applies to tattoos too with my lavender plant and small tattoos and i feel like i’m not being a man the right way or like i’m#trying to be like women but i swear i’m not- i just happen to share experiences with them and therefore interests

Sometimes i think my taste in media is complete ass because i keep genuinely liking a lot of movies and shows that are commonly seen as Shit Tier
#and then disliking some well liked stuff#like i genuinely really liked the animaniacs reboot. it was SO hated at first and yeah the first reboot season was kinda meh#but it got real good!#and i am genuinely liking the new clone high season. im not like super invested in it but i didnt care a ton about the original series#either#its just something fun for me to watch!#tumblr is the only place i can see people have normal discussions about some not well liked shows#everywhere else its just THIS IS SHIT AND YOURE SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT#i also genuinely enjoy Batman Forever. like its a BAD movie but its so fucking fun and camp that it becomes god tier cinema#but i really didnt like that Harley Quinn show a lot of people liked#i honestly seem to have a lower bar for media in general......#some people really didnt like s4 of wwdits and yeah that was a small minority#but i just. dont get how. it was my fav season so far#am i just looking at media through rose colored glasses. am i wrong#alright but with some of these newer things that are seen as Shit. theyre going to be celebrated as Really Good some day i hope#people fucking haaaaated the 2011 looney tunes show when it came out#but nowadays everyone loves it. it fucking slaps its super good#im pretty sure people didnt like Ducktales 2017 at first either#and its one of my all time fave shows!!!

The Snyderverse was a artistic hollow, emotionally stunted, intellectually shallow era of movies made by and for those who just want things to look badass, cool, and aggressively masculine.
#it is no surprise to me that the snyder cult is made up of a lot of right wing wannbe macho types who complain about things being too woke#who see no problem harassing anyone who doesn't share their narrowminded views#people who talk about how Watchmen and dark knight returns are the best dc comics but have probably only skimmed through them#not understanding them at all#just seeing batman beat up superman and going “cool”#which applies to zs himself too#he clearly missed the whole point of watchmen by trying to make them all look cool characters#and badass heroes when the whole point is they are not#he just saw a superhero story with sex and violence and though it was awesome#that is clearly what his idea of a mature work is#not something that is emotionally mature#no just all the r rated stuff kids aren't allowed to see#because anything kids can enjoy is lame#his movies are for adults#which are his own words#him and his fans really don't seem to like comics as they are#they only like the ones generally considered cool

one of the only good things to come out of that trailer was the shot of sonic hugging knuckles but i cant even appreciate that as much as i would have if it were their mainline counterparts because the movies have one of my less liked versions their dynamic and also because most of the rest of the trailer just had me like 😐🧍. sad !
#to be clear i dont ship movie so/nknux its honestly kind of weird to me#i just really like sonic and knuckles together in general even outside a shipping context#but again . cant really enjoy it as much as usual here#ngl the trailer really did not excite me at all like when maria showed up in one of the trailers for sxs gens i lost my mind#but when she showed up here i somehow didnt even register what was going on .?? lmao

idk if it's me being up at 3am during a night shift but something about the pilot of Once Upon a Time still really punches me in the gut, especially when the music picks up, the clock hand finally moves, and Henry smiles.
#once upon a time#ouat#remember when this show was my entire online life lol#I still really enjoy the first three seasons in general#and I really think the show got better with the addition of characters like Hook#but there's just something about the first season that feels kinda magical to me#and I've no nostalgia for it in particular bc I only picked the series up when s3 was about to come out#think I watched s1 as a whole maybe twice#but it just has something about it#I occasionally go back for my favorite episodes or the CS movie at the end of s3 but the first one just. gets me every time.

Having now seen M:I Dead Reckoning, it is with heavy heart that I must join the people going uuuhhhhhhh
#listen I LOVE these movies#like a truly inordinate amount#I am an MI apologist (well not really I fully acknowledge all the flaws I just don't care I LOVE them)#and there was a lot to love and enjoy about this one too#but HOOOO BOY#I just think the lows may be too low to get past#idk#hmm#HMM#about a few things but especially THAT thing#felt like a step backwards for the franchise in a lot of ways#and aside from That Thing#it had some general tonal issues#like#it brought Spectre to mind#in a bad way#(is there a good way to remind me of Spectre? no)#what's the spoiler tag for this movie and its stupid title#dead reckoning#dead reckoning part one#mi7#mission impossible 7#THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS#mission: impossible – dead reckoning part one#just absurd#ANYWAY#I do think mostly I liked it#but there are just a couple things I'm REALLY bumping on that make it hard not to what if about what it COULD have been
