End Credits in Film

The credits that roll at the end of a film are crucial for more than one reason

Obviously, there is the acknowledgment of every hand and mind that went into the project, but

There's also the allowance to wind down, to take in what you've just watched; even if you've seen it a hundred times, it's part of watching the film

And of course the score/soundtrack. The music chosen for the end credits is very intentional, even in many movies made today

It doesn't matter that some movies have more disposable end credit tracks

The point is that there is value in the end credit for even more reasons than I listed here

I bring all of this up because I've encountered - what is for me - a new issue with streaming movies. Not only do they include ad break style fade-to-blacks even when you're not stuck with ads during your viewing (I always keep the remote handy to mute the ads when they come up and don't even glance at the screen because fuck ads), but now I find that some services play the end credits at breakneck speed, also cutting off the music prematurely. So not only can I not use the music and energy to wind down and absorb my experience, but I can't read and appreciate (and easily look into more should I want to know more of their work whatever their task) the many people who made the film.

A lot of people say the art of film is dying. I couldn't disagree more. I lived through the sludge that the 90s and -shudder- the 00s gave us, and so much of what I'm actually watching today is fucking incredible. The ability for smaller creators - and creators from almost any country - to put out next-level work available at my fingertips is unprecedented on every conceivable level. It's the services that largely make these films available that are doing their damnedest to make these experiences as expedited and protracted as possible.

Remove our awareness of what's going on around us and we are that much more malleable, that much more suggestible to blind purchasing, binge watching, and other obnoxious tactics that gain billionaires more money, and leave us as the scapegoats, the ones to blame for our "shorter attention spans" and our "fickle" manner of consuming media.

lucanis truly has a near terminal case of burned out golden child syndrome. caterina fucked both of these kids over so incredibly bad with the dynamic she enforced there, with illario being labled the perpetual fuckup kid where lucanis 'could do no (would never be allowed to do) wrong'. the way he admits in the first coffee date scene that the only thing that happened when he showed he could carry the weight of expectation was that more weight was added makes me so sad. you can hear it in caterina's voice in his intro mission that she's incredibly proud of him, but this is clearly a leandra and hawke situation where that pride never translates into relief or resolution or unconditional warmth or understanding or anything that really helps.

for all of under paris' faults (of which there are many) netflix somehow managed to get the body & fin shape and coloring of their mako sharks correct for the species which almost never happens (this is ignoring the last part of the opening where thats just a great white 100%) of course jaw shape and hunting practices and the premise of the movie's reproductive/ evolutionary science is absolute nonsense... win some lose some i guess

found out that apparently wheat bread is better for you than rye but i genuinely prefer rye :(

[peculiaritybending]

GOD…actually thinking about it again, it’s absolutely insane how well Rye is characterized considering how little screen time he gets like they really let you get to know him even though he’s not there so you’re in a similar position to the rest of the Gerhardts without having to spend too much time dragging out his screen time. All the things they tell you about him in the scenes he’s not present for match up so well with his demeanor from his limited screen time. Just…when you combine great writing with great acting…wow. ​Also he’s kind of a false protagonist for the first episode too so him dying feels even more impactful so they illustrate how important his death is even before they show you the knock on effects of it. Incredible.

Lief: "Yeah, kid. Whatever. I dunno who you take me for at all, but I'm not gonna hurt anyone, ok? Relax."

Being more interested in speaking with Dravena in comparison, he'd wave off Rye with a somewhat agitated tone of voice without even bothering to look at her again.

Lief: "As for you. Deino girl. I suppose for your sake, if that aura thing is really true, I'll keep this a little short... but no. That dream thing really wasn't a joke."

[ ID: A grayscale drawing of Lief, a hybrid of Sylveon and Ribombee, with a mono-color background. He is shown from the neck up, with his face slightly angled away from the viewer towards the left. He looks puzzled, or curious. His left eyebrow is noticeably raised, while his right eyelid is lowered somewhat. He is frowning visibly. An angular question mark is floating next to his head at the left. End ID ]

Lief: "I wouldn't blame you for thinking that, though. I mean, imagine dreaming about random people you've never met, involving a person you have met only once-"

[ ID: A grayscale drawing of Lief similar to the previous image, but with a different expression. He appears annoyed. Both eyes are narrowed. His mouth is open, as if in the midst of a tangent. End ID ]

Lief: "-and the person in question became the very thing I hate about royals... and they tried to kill me, I guess."

At the mention of Destino, he became very on edge. His tail flicked hard, and a berry was knocked loosed to the floor. He grumbled under his breath, crossing his arms and looking away from the two with even narrower eyes.

Lief: "They better stay the hell away from me, I'll tell you that. I don't know what any of that meant. And I don't want to fucking find out."

I don't know what I love more, the fact that as rook you can make a statement in NO uncertain terms that you are NOT responsible one way or the other for the theological implications of the shit you're discovering in the 'regrets of the dread wolf' memories. not my jurisdiction. quite simply none of my business. not my chantry circus not my chantry monkeys. irrelevant to the matter at hand here we'll kill that god if we get to him he can get in line. or if the best thing about it is seeing the lone little 'lucanis approves' that pops up right after choosing it. corvid with a knife about to commit deicide keeping it real and sensibly, pragmatically, wilfully agnostic with me here in this magical lighthouse today
