alright, we're finally at the entire reason for me starting my DCEU (re)watch. now seated for Cathy Yan and Christina Hodson's Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn. let's see how it's held up since i saw it in theaters.

As a fan of David Bowie’s Ziggy era I am so the target audience of that teaser sorry to everyone acting snobbish about it but I am ready to embrace what I am

Most people walking out of Deadpool and Wolverine: *has new or reawakened obsession with Wolverine and/or possibly Deadpool*

Me somehow: *new found love of the xmen where Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr have been circling my head every waking thought*

sorry to keep posting about all of us strangers a film i have not seen since like uhhhhh february/march but during my occasional review scrolling before thinking about it made me too upset to continue what i noticed was that some seem to identify the scene where adam goes into his parents room and it cuts to him in what is presumably an adult-sized version of the pajamas he wore when he was a kid as something that was somewhat ridiculous + works because of how sincerely the moment is played by the cast and of course performance has a lot to do with it but also that moment to me is one of the most heartrendingly sincere parts of the whole film. it's very much about grief and wanting to go back to something that doesn't exist anymore and so the fact that the movie takes a somewhat dreamlike direction with this + has him dress like he would've when he was a kid speaks to how desperately he wants to be able to go back to that sense of safety. like he loses his parents really young so his relationship with them is kind of frozen at that point. that visual alone is such a clever way of communicating everything + the performances are devastating in this scene + this is the moment that had me physically shaking in the theatre so uhhhhhh

I don’t know much about the sonic continuity and fandom except for the brief period of time I watched sonic underground as a kid. But they really seem to be winning right now with the live action movies.

And you know what, I’m happy for them. They bullied a studio so relentlessly it changed the course of history. They deserve this.

Minor rant: one tiny thing that annoyed me on the reboot's theme song.

(I actually still enjoy the reboot because of pure self indulgence. They could just animate the Warners on silent shorts doing nothing for hours and I would eat it uppp).

Now, the reboot isn't perfect by any means, and there are more stuff that slightly bothers me, (again, I'm very easy to please) but one thing that just really tickles my brain in the wrong annoying way, is replacing "Dot is cute" with "Dot has wit".

..why?

I understand there needed to be changes from the original that didn't age well, which is why the sexual harassment jokes had to be taken out obviously, and Hello Nurse couldn't appear anymore. (I'm still pissed they couldn't just, do something else with her character instead of taking her out. But this reboot wasn't the first or last to do this kinda thing, so I'm not gonna complain too hard about that).

But Dot's character was never itself a problem?? She was never treated lesser than her brothers in anyway, shape, or form. She wasn't less zany, or less smart, or less annoying than any of her brothers. Wakko is the more naive of the three, even.

Dot being cute is part of her character, and I don't think that's inherently sexist. It's the "little cute innocent character is actually a MENACE" trope. If Dot was a cute little boy instead, it would change literally nothing. But despite all of that they just had to go "gIrLBoSS beam" because that's true feminism according to hollywood. Girls can't be hyperfeminine anymore.

I don't mind the show's jab at sexism because it's just social criticism right, it was always in the show so I don't really care. And her ""feminist songs"" don't bother me, I like them a lot. The suffragette one was cool, and the cartoon spin on it made me very happy jsjen (it even got reposted on Twitter on the #standwithanimation tag), and the First Lady one is just a history song, a common Animaniacs move, nothing to complain about it there. (The one promo of the social media on Dot going on an unwarranted feminist speech of being more than just cute was so forced tho. SHE CAN SHOW IT WITHOUT SAYING IT. Y'KNOW.. LIKE IT ALWAYS WAS??)

But it's just this one thing that makes it sounds like "oh, we're so woke, we fixed her so good" when there was nothing to fix about her character in this way specifically??? GIRLS CAN BE CUTE AND SMART, IT'S CRAZY I KNOW.

look if the general election ends up being biden v trump (which it very likely will), there are plenty of logical and pragmatic reasons i'd want biden to win, obviously. but the pettiest reason is that i just never want to hear about donald fucking trump ever again

saw this fun challenge on twitter by @/sapgoon_... had to do it because im a lover of experimentation! blank version under the cut!

[measureformeasure]

do you have any measure for measure production recommendations?

yes! the 2019 RSC prod is pretty good imho, very solid even if angelo's wig is so bad. the cheek by jowl production is in russian and you can watch it here: it gets a lot grimier than RSC, which is a good thing.

I remember when joker first came out in 2019 and it had like a billion and 1 thinkpieces about it and months of fear mongering about what it would make white men do and yadda yadda. there was just too much discourse to keep up with.

but when joker the musical came out, like 10 people where like, "brother, that film was doodooo garbage. anyway, moving on!!"

How this kid not get sick after all that junk food is beyond me. XD

Okay, I get it, high metabolism and everything, but DUDE- look at all that!

And I love that when he's running low on the food,

He just fucking does this. XD (He even left a dollar bill after taking the cookies pffffft)

[bifairywife]

i swear that if 2023 pulls another bad reboot on one of my favourite childhood shows, i WILL sue
