#how you gonna say the movies are better

Y'ALL
I just saw a tiktok where someone was like "uhm the new percy jackson show is just not it, the movies fit the vibes better" and while that is one of the wildest takes I've ever heard someone commented
"What vibes are you missing hun, whiteness and not being able to find percy sexy because he is actually 12 this time?"
I would not show my face in public again if I got eaten up like that in my own comment section
#percy jackson#percy jackon and the olympians#how you gonna say the movies are better#you must have not read the books bby girl#mint talks

rick riordan dickriders on here will be like "why are you complaining about the pjo tv show, go watch the movies and see what a bad adaptation really looks like" ok well listen to the musical watch it on youtube and see what a good adaptation looks like bitch. it can be done. as a fucking stage musical. what did that 15 million per episode do for disney that chris mccarell couldn't
#this is such a mean post from someone who does genuinely like the show I'm sorry#like there are aspects I really love!! and aspects I really don't!! which makes it mid for me#but I do genuinely like it overall. at least enough to continue watching#it's just that I see sooooo many people who seem to have this attitude like you can't critique it at all??#and their arguments are usually just. “movies were worse” (so we'll take anything now as long as it's not that?)#or “rick was involved in the writing” (<- NOTTT guaranteed to be a good thing lmao)#anyway it's pissing me off. I'm gonna bitch. “if you like the books so much read the books” I WAS PROMISED A BOOK ADAPTATION#AM I WRONG FOR COMPLAINING WHEN I DON'T GET WHAT I WAS PROMISED#“oh but changes are okay as long as it preserves the spirit of the books” since when was the *spirit* of the books a FUCKING BORE🤨#also the cast doesn't deserve this. stick leah and aryan and walker in a better show#pjo#pjo tv show#pjo disney+#percy jackson#percy jackon and the olympians#the lightning thief musical#anyway all this to say some of the changes and choices are Actually Bad and it won't kill you to admit that I think#rereading this post in the drafts and editing before posting when I was handwringing about how mean it was bitch this is mild

“EARTHS FIGHTIEST HEROES”
#i seriously think we gonna laugh cry the whole movie#like so much baggage to claim so much pain and yet the dynamics will be hilarious and then one of them is gonna say something so—#deep or deeply disturbing and we would be all like questioning our entire existence#and more laughter and more cry and more laughter#i just my expectations are high now#I don’t know what to tell you I would end being sooo wrong but I just feel like this is how it’s gonna go#we will see I suppose#anyways I love the ‘fightiest heroes’ thing#it gets better with the ‘not super not heroes not giving up’ part#thunderbolts*#bucky barnes#yelena belova#alexei shostakov#marvel

anyways here’s what i noticed about colors in 500 days of summer
the way whole of Tom’s world is brown, warm, beautiful, old - it’s clear his view of things is romanticized, he loves niche things, takes pride in it and. um the way summer waltzes in with her blue, her eyes, her clothes, her life. like okay. and god. and every single time.
and oh oh my god when they’re showing the last few days of summer the little illustration is cold, blue. and the one who’s keeping him grounded to reality is his little sister - always in colors of orange, directly opposite to that of summer. AND the way as soon as summer leaves, everything in Tom’s life is blue. but it’s this realization that his expectations - that life is not peachy - about love aren’t going to come to fruition ???? and he comes up a blank when asked about it ????
it’s this blue that leads to him quitting his job, that though this love was fleeting and hey that is okay and that it was what lead him back to what he truly wanted to do. that this blue in his life hurt but it changed him
and as for summer, the way they both begin as summer believing in no such thing as love and Tom being the romantic that he is, believing in fate, destiny, etc….. and how it switches at the end………..and uhm. yeah. wow.
such a good movie what.
#txt#i dont know how to conclude things but. I don’t think im making sense. I don’t care. ohhhh the way it sweeps you up along with tom#oh man not to be he’s literally me but he’s literally me#like. god. if i were ever to find the “perfect person” i too would ignore anything bad anything not suiting what i want to see#uhm anyways-#UGH WHAT I LOVE MOVIES SOSOSOSOS MUCH#500 days of summer#film#idk#that love can be fleeting and it’s okay#and it can still change you ????????? hello ??? and that u don’t know whatever can happen will happen……………for the better or the worse#ye just. idk what im saying#i like the smiths.#jeeeeez stupid brain understands the movie is not telling the audience to romanticize everything but that’s not gonna stop mine from.#romanticizing everything.

yo lotus, you like art, you like animation stuff! what’s your opinion on Disney’s latest work? I think they dropped the ball with Wish…
they fumbled so badly w wish i don’t even want to fucking talk abt it. seeing nimona (project that was originally gonna be scrapped and went to another studio) and boy and the heron (2d style animation that disney does not do anymore due to “minimal range for intended audience”) get nominated instead of wish made me grin wickedly. fuck disney. i mean it.
#how are you gonna make a movie where like three pieces of concept art tell a better story than wtv tf that movie is💀#i will say that the animation was still rly cute and i liked the music#that’s the only good thing i have to say abt it tho#lotus’s asks

am i tripping or is x3 relatively way better than dark phoenix like,,, obviously the second half of x3's plot is atrociously wrong (apart from when erik keeps bringing up charles) but the initial set up and premise feel less flat than dark phoenix with more things going on than just jean/phoenix and erik and the brotherhood don't feel as shoehorned?
i fear i feel you ..... however ive always held the belief X3 wasnt a terrible movie on the sole basis hank was there and the movie started with old man bickering while adopting their daughter so this aint a shocking opinion to meee
'but snap hank was in dark phoenix too' ok he didnt piss me off in X3 !!!!! moving on !!!!!!!!
#snap chats#so funny how things are intersecting cause people are talking about DP on twitter#like with X3. it wasnt my favorite but i could at least be like 'ok that was fine'#DP just had me bored or like. Miffed#idk i should rewatch them movies again.... awful because i rewatched dark phoenix twice in a week for some reason#I DONT KNOW WHY?? I WATCHED IT ONCE THEN AGAIN FOR SOME RESAON BUT OK#anyway no youre right with the brotherhood bit like we were actualy introduced to them in x3#or we saw how we got here. in dp We Just Fuckin Here. Inexplicably. Erik Werent You Wanted For Terrorism#why you just hangin out in this relatively nice field with supplies LMAO#oh but about hank tho. this my beef with the hank/mystique bit like girl why he so pressed at charles like that#as if mystique wasnt charles' sister like hank you gottttt nooooo right to be more upset than charles#like people crticize DP for how antagonistic people are to charles and WHILE CONCEPTUALLY i dont think thats a bad thing#i think it can be fun and interesting to criticize charles sometimes- or at least question him every now and then#but it do be kinda comedic in this movie cause its so....... Oh Hello JLAEKAJK LIKE WHY YALL SO MEAAN TO HIM WHATD HE DO#god this rambling is not meant for tags im gonna run out. all ima say is X3 did handle the dark phoenix thing better#even if the movie still isnt. super good. on consensus idk i should rewatch it it been a while

someday people will learn to spot the difference between someone who likes to feel "better" than everyone else by mentioning what "highbrow tastes" they have in media, vs someone who just has some uncommon tastes and is trying to introduce you to blorbo from their shows. casablanca and shakespear are still around because some people like them, actually
its unfortunate, then, that some styles arent as lucrative as marvels style. the age of everyone being able to see anyone bitching about things best discussed amongst a select few in their in-group (i cant really post about how much i hated such-and-such media, because people who love it might see it and feel bad) has made it more or less impossible to discuss a hatred of the most popular style without hurting anyones feelings. and i do hate it. and its success has changed how people make movies now. and i am mad. but most of all, i wish i could bitch about it without making the people who genuinely like it sad
theyre still making marvel-likes because people like marvel, and they dont make akira-likes because not enough people like akira. please watch akira. its good. you might like it. if you like akira and other cyberpunk shit please talk to me about blorbo from my "old" non-english movie
#posts that will inevitably be taken in bad faith no matter how i word it so im gonna stop tweaking it now and just hit post#my fav thing ive ever been called pretentious over was someone saying 'oh so you think the movies you like are soooo much#better than the movies you think are bad' (<- paraphrasing but that was the gist) and. like. yeah? so do you?#or else you wouldnt like them and would like different things? because our definitions of 'good' are subjective????#'this asshole over here thinks the things she likes are good! get his ass!'#im sorry but the people who pop a blood vessel thinking about strawmen elitists greatly outnumber ACTUAL elitists#(at least as far as media-based elitists go)

now that i have rereread iwtv i realize that rolins is godsent wallahi this show would be doa if we got a one to one straight adaptation and not because of any content issues or the moral constitution of a modern audience but because that shit would have been boring as hell. like change the channel, scroll thru twitter diy lobotomy sesh boring. love the book, truly a formative masterpiece but if i had to sit through it in visual format id kill myself
#yaz chats to the void#interview with the vampire#its the same reason why i watched the movie three times. once when i was a kid and it introduced me tvc#once after the pilot aired and immediately found the movie grubby in comparison#and once with great effort after the finale of the show to see how it held up and my eyes glazed over#meanwhile i have read the book cover to cover six or seven times#some things are unadaptable and or some things work better in literary format#was gonna say that the show wouldve been a series of guys talking in rooms like it already isnt lmaoooo#but its done cleverly and with panache#and the changes made to all the characters is what elevates the story#moan about it all you want but its the truth

close encounters of the third kind is an objectively good movie, but it feels sorta tragic. and i doubt thet was the intention lol. love the cinematography, love the music score, love the visual effects. that's all fun and good. but where everyone else seems to see a movie full of "wonder", it just makes me feel sad. the movie ends the way it does and it leaves me feeling bummed the fuck out.
#i'm literally eric stoltz in his version of back to the future thinking marty coming home to a changed 'better' family is Tragic and Bleak#it's why flight of the navigator was a cute movie to be as a kid. but the non-goofy parts legit freaked me out lol#like what do you Mean no time passed and now this kid's younger brother is older than him? he missed on years and it's funny but it's Sad#but at least that all works out#close encounters has the 40s pilots and an assortment of other people (young and old) from various time periods walking off that ship#what happens when they try to go home? will their families be there? will they be decades older? will they be dead?#barry's only been gone for a few days and Seems fine and his mom pretty much got him right back so they're good#but there was at least another kid walking off that ship. what about her parents? how long was she gone?? man...#like yeah the dad fucks off to space and leaves his wife and kids behind. even spielberg says he doesnt like that ending anymore#bc odds are- that guy's family is Never gonna see him again. and they'll never know what happened. they'll never be Told what happened#'dad went crazy and went missing' and that's it. that would fuck with you#this movie's like 'yeah aliens! yeah ufos! yeah the unknown! yeah science! yeah mystery! yeah the power of music'#but the people caught in the middle of all this 'wonder' w/out Seeing that 'wonder' for themselves? this would suck. it's bleak.#such a killjoy take on a classic scifi movie but i forgot how much this movie just gives me a sense of dread#it's not how the audience is meant to feel anyway!#close encounters of the third kind#rambles

#wow it was an absolute mistake to watch Furiosa right after Fury Road. honestly Furiosa was an absolute mistake in general holy shit#sry i havent been on tumblr lately my hands have been busy w projects but i HAVE TO VENT THIS OUT#WHY WAS ALL THE IMAGERY SO SOULLESS AND SHITTY?? WHY WERE THE COSTUMES CHEAP UNI-COLOUR PLASTIC??#DID THEY EVEN HAVE ANY BUDGET AT ALL? THE CREDITS ARE FULL OF NAMES. WHO THE FUCK ARE THESE PEOPLE DID THEY JUST SIT THERE#WHY DID THEY MAKE SUCH A LOSER VILLAIN LIKE HE HAD ZERO COOLNESS FACTOR NO HUMANIZING/LIKEABLE QUALITIES 0/10#WHY WOULD YOU PUT COMEDIC RELIEF IN THE FORM OF COMEDY RATHER THAN THEATRICS LIKE THE FIRST MOVIE#THEY CALL IT FURIOSA CUZ ITS MAKIN ME A FURIOUS#PLUS LIKE PEPPERING IN SCENES FROM THE FIRST MOVIE MAKES THIS ONE LOOK SO MUCH WORSE BY COMPARISON#hooh okay like fr tho there is no nice way to say it. that was terrible. like terrible bad. no redeeming qualities.#well. there were dogs. thats it. thats where the good parts start and end. i dont even know if they were real dogs tbh#the sound design/music was terrible too. many moments of just dead air (without purpose) or inappropriate sound#the acting was so reserved its like they didnt want any of the actors to show any emotion other than stoic (or comedic for the villain)#man that was definitely like a la croix flavour of movie (except i actually like la croix)#literally tho why did no one show any emotion at all#plus inappropriate romance added like??#and the heavy subject so pervasive in the first movie was like 'oh nvm that didnt happen everything is good here'#just wow man. wow. I wouldn't be as mad if this had any fun factor at all. zero fun to be had in this.#i s2g if there were less neon red paint as a stand-in for blood#... this would've been rated like PG 13 max. it couldve easily been trimmed down to PG like. it was so sanitized.#like im not saying they had to show a certain graphic subject. but they could have actually put the R rating to use#their budget wouldve been better spent rewriting the script and hiring less known actors.#idr when this came out was it a covid casualty or an enshittification casualty? probably the latter if not both#shouldve watched them in reverse order but i wasnt planning on watching the second.#like sure first movie is a bit cheesey and not a lot of depth because of how fast paced it goes. but it was FUN. the actors acted.#anyway thats my vent i gotta mentally cool off now lol that seriously made me so mad#ShitPost.exe#fr tho like i knew it was gonna be shit when i first heard about it happening and the actors they chose. but i didnt know it was...#...gonna be THIS BAD. like especially the visuals and dead air in between awkward one-liners that gave me secondhand embarrassment#0/10 dont watch Furiosa if you havent already. Fury Road is good. Furiosa is like... the dollar store version of that universe#like complete with the halloween store version of the characters costuming lmao i wouldnt doubt that cosplayers have prob done it way better

ada could beat leon in a fight at any point in time btw
#speakerphone!#nobody asked#but i just remembered before sw dropped people were saying ada was using a knife against svetlana in damnation bc leon made that comment#during their reunion scene. and its like. first of all im sure they were not thinking of the movies when writing 4r. second... do... do you#do you think ada didnt know knives were better for close combat? do you think trained spy ada wong didnt know this?#frankly. i think she was skilled with knives during 2. not to the degree she is in 4 but still.#if she had gotten her hands on annette it would have been over in a second.#also i keep seeing people say leon beat ada in their reunion scene in 4r and its like???????? neither of them were fighting full out.#she was messing around and he was like 'no. youre not gonna point a gun at me again'#anyways yeah idc how much training he had in 4r she would have washed him completely.

For the ask game! 2, 12, and 26 I hope it okay I picked multiple :3
lmao more than okay! happy to answer these and more!!! thank you sara!!! 2. what’s your feel-good movie? ... and once again, no one was surprised when I said Pride and Prejudice 2005. Also probably The Holiday. Guilty pleasures and all but also I'm someone who hates rom-coms usually but the holiday is genuinely good and intellectual. oh also some like it hot (and I will stop there because if I go any further I will just start listing off movies I like and they will become more dark and grim and I will not be able to stop because there are so many movies out there that I love that may even be horrific but the elation I feel watching all sorts of shit that stimulates the mind?? that's what feels good to me)... ok Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away too there I'm done.
12. how are you? Well.. better than yesterday for sure. I was having a regular catastrophic morb there for a second but I took it easier today and with any luck I'll have an even better day tomorrow and everything will be grand! who knows maybe I'll make some more material progress in the first chapter of One Warm Line.
26. what movie would you want to live in? Ok I know I've already said in previous asks P&P 2005 but I also think living in a ghibli movie of any sort would be kindof neat
soft asks to get to know people
#ask games#WHAT CAN I SAY I AM A HOE FOR P&P 2005!!!!! SHE'S TIMELESS!!! she's beautiful#seriously I'm gonna do a whole video essay someday talking about how much better it is at using the film form to tell the story of P&P than#1995 did. which I know is a sacrilege to many but I WILL NOT BE SILENCED.#also. note you. really gives the crozier x lady terror vibe. even though. I have been watching this movie since it came out#especially lizzie and her dad. that's how lady terror is with her dad Charles Sinclair. yeah

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

I've never heard of emts working only at events? What's that like for you if you don't mind my asking?
Yeah, there are ambulance companies that staff certain events, but there's some event specific companies out there lmao. For me specifically, it's almost entirely college events, whether it's happening on a campus or not. It's not great, usually pretty boring, but it's better than being on an ambulance or in a hospital. We do get actual emergencies sometimes, but usually it's just getting drunk people to the tent or giving out water and bandaids lmao. Again, boring as fuck, but I chose this over working on a 911 rig, so that's on me 😔 if I'm being so real tho, other than my coworkers, the best part of the job is the food lmaoooo it's so good and all the food trucks/food booths give discounts or free food to us depending on the location and event. And there's almost always a ton of downtime, so I basically just get paid to sit there and vibe for the most part
#not snz#when i say i love my job i mean i love very specific parts of it lmao#idk if I've said it here before or not and this is gonna sound so bad coming from someone working in healthcare#but i don't like patients lmao#i love the book stuff and i love everything in theory and i know how everything works and I'm very enthusiastic about it#but man do i not like patients ahskaksk#there are exceptions obviously but those are few and far between#it's why i love being an emt at my fire station bc we don't reslond to medical calls#like I've done medical calls there for the public but very rarely bc people either approach us or we stumble upon them#so i really only do my emt things on the people i know and i love that#i love my coworkers so I'm always happy to make sure they're okay and help them out when they're not#but i feel nothing for the public and i didn't realize i genuinely couldn't care less about them until i started doing my clinicals#it's just awkward and I'm not invested in them i just like figuring out what's wrong with them and interact with them as little as possible#again there are exceptions and i do like some of the patients but generally I'm just trying to hand them off asap#so yeah i do like working events bc the alternative is being confined to a tiny box or trapped in a hospital#i like being outside and being able to walk around the place and do things if i want to#and obviously i adore my partner#and even on the rare occasions i work with someone else all day i love my other coworkers too#and i mean yeah this might be more boring than working on an emergency rig However#it pays so much better#like why do y'all think my medic partner works there lmao he's actually good with patients and prefers the ambulance#but the pay in the field is shit so he gets paid way more working events than he would at the three letter company#insane actually that he makes over ten dollars more an hour working chill events than he would being overworked on a rig#anyway i digress#I'm looking into pathology assistant school rn bc there's like no patient interaction there but i still get to be nosy#so that's perfect for me lmao#everyone keeps saying i missed my calling as a vet tho like i don't cry when a dog dies in a movie lmao i wouldn't survive#working with animals would be amazing but the only thing that really gets you money is being a vet#so that can be a hobby#work tag

Wow the disney+ goosebumps series is kinda shit
#the vibes all wrong and the colours are so grey#this makes those 2 jack black movies look good#how the fuck do you fuck up goosebumps#im saying this after only seeing 1 episode#i dont think the episodes are gonna get any better though#they played unholy in the first like 3 minutes#also why are american shows so obsessed with pep rallys#are they rly that big of a thing over there#i thought they were fictional as a kid
