something i really like that's started happening more recently is that whenever a new movie comes out we've started seeing a lot more artists posting their work for the film on their own personal social medias, like ive seen it for Spider-Verse, the Sea Beast, Puss in Boots, etc. even Nico Marlet one of the leading developmental artists for the How to Train Your Dragon movies has recently been posting some previously unseen artwork from like, a decade ago now. Not only is it really good insight into the process of film development, it's really emphasizing that projects like these consist of the work of dozens if not hundreds of individuals, they don't just pop out of the brain of one singular creator like fully-developed athena from zeus's brain. it's really cool to see the individual contributions of all these different artists and see them get credit for their work.
#its even for movies that arent that good#in fact its really useful in those cases to see that even if a movie isnt perfecr#theres still effort and heart being put into it by at least one artist somewhere#its especially important for critics to recognize that even that shitty 2-star netflix kids movie was made by people who loved working on it#like it might just be a product for netflix to produce but to those artists there is an actual effort being made#and you have to be fair to those people when you critique that media

i wonder how many times the animators for the minecraft movie were told to trash their actually good designs in favor of whatever the executives wanted
#like theres no way anyone actually working on it wanted it to look like THAT......................... right?#like that HAS to be a hand-down from the ceo. it has to be#no one actually thought that looked good right#RIGHT???#minecraft#please hollywood stop making video game movies where people get sucked into the video game#theyre never good.#its not like theres nothing to work with with minecraft either!!! the ender dragon is RIGHT THERE#THE WITHER. IS RIGHT. THERE.#BUT NOOOO YOU GO FOR THE PIGLINS. AND THE NETHER.#the piglins arent even gonna zombify in the overworld. i know theyre not. like that at least would be maybe interesting. but no.#im not even like. angry. i just skipped straight to dejected acceptance during that trailer

discovery of the day
#im sorry i do Not see what everyone sees in this movie. although from the years of browsing the internet ive began to realize#that i actually dont know if people actually like the movie or not#why is everything so rushed#their romance felt like nothing to me because i dont KNOW what they see in eachother#listen you dont have to tell me straight up into the camera why they love eachother#but the aggressive kissing and cut sex scenes arent telling me much#i get that it came out in 2005 but cutting mostly every gay sex scene? even the kissing for the most part?#but oh we NEED to see this happy husband and wife doing it. yes im bitter#a german movie by the name of summer storm came out the year before this one and actually shows something that feels like actual passion#i sound like i need to see people doing it in these movies all the time I promise thats not it#but even the kissing? the thing i Actually like the most? the thing that makes me feel things? felt like nothing at all#and oh i forgot that this is a tragic gay movie where one of them dies. Oh yeah. forgot.#mentioning summer storm again: it actually has a relatively happy ending. feels good that i dont need to be reminded of how gay people are#doomed 24/7.#the romance started good. with jack telling the guy whos name i already forgot to get his ass in the tent already.#the Pulling his arm over my body thing. it was going great#THEN IT WENT SO FAST! WHY WAS HE SUDDENLY SO INTO IT! WHY WERE THEY BOTH SUDDENLY DOING IT#im sorry i expected a slighter slow burn than this!!! calm down cowboys i have no idea why you two like eachother all of the sudden!#i seriously thought they would show these little moments of tension#and it just growing bigger and bigger#until they couldnt take it anymore#that would explain the aggressiveness of it! why they were so desperate! but it literally just HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!#im sorry i. I expected more of this movie that i hear so much about.#the most it made me feel was at that moment that turned into a meme where i thought “Hop on fortnite”#chuckled. that was it. did i cry? did my heart race at any moment? was i worried about what was gonna happen? not Once#im so. Disappointed.#after this i wanted to watch summer storm but netflix removed it. Its a german only movie no one knows from 2004. where the hell am i gonna#🏴☠️ that#AAAGHHHH!!!!!!!#not being able to watch summer storm made me cry more than this movie did What the hell

why are awards shows still trending in 2024 arent you guys over worshipping celebrities yet lol
#grimmrambles#its so fucking weird#stop giving these ppl attention#their jobs are to make movies and art and good for then#them#but like do they need a special pat on the head? wearing thousands of dollars worth of clothes and jewelry that kill ppl and animals around#the world?#and get there on their private jets?#and wear thousands of pounds of fake makeup and body contours and wigs just to poison ppls minds?#like seriously stop talking abt celebrities its so fucking cringe#stop giving them attention#and honestly movies and shows arent even art anymore#the good ones survive and are beloved and thats enough

gen z is trying to cancel applemccartney for thinking john and yoko arent good enough directors to do the concept of their movie “rape” justice with a 79 minute runtime
#thats not whats happening its two people in portugese saying i dont understand contemporary art#i actually really REALLY liked the concept but they just arent good directors so the movie feels too long. even if the movie was 30 minutes#i wouldnt like it#which sucks because they have a lot of really good ideas but they just arent good enough at directing to execute it

inside out 2 is interesting but it sure is the exact same plot as inside out 1 down to the emotions getting stranded outside hq as a core aspect of rileys isbeliminated and having to start from scratch while joy loses hope and cries while watching memories in a pile of memories that were deemed unimportant before being deus ex machinad by an imaginary cartoon
#inside out 2 spoilers#except joy has not learned her lesson about all emotions and memories being valuable and that she is not in charge#of making the call of which emotions are important. she builds her team up by emphasizing the good they do for riley#and continues to be an absolute control freak who puts an emphasis on her own importance seeming to have learned very little#some could argue that the emotions arent distinct enough or are even too nebulous to be their own emotions#and according to many theories in the subject all emotions come from combining multiple of the core emotions#which is why having nostalgia show up for a gag was... interesting. considering the first movie literally showed us joy and sadness memorie#create nostalgic ones. otherwise i mostly just feel like theyre too disparate and am still shocked how joy is like. the only positive#emotion. period.#anyway yeah it kinda underminded the first movies thesis that all emotions are important and helpful by making anxiety basically plain bad#even despite her explanations of why shes good. like she drops her memory in the sense of self and it immediately sprouts ominously#like idk maybe im just quibbling over foreshadowing in a childrens movie but to keep in line with that original thesis#wouldnt it make more sense to get more corrupt only as anxiety continues to flood it with only her emotion#like basing your entire sense of self and personality/beliefs around one emotion entirely is extremely unhealthy#and like it starts normal and gets more erratic as anxiety becomes the ONLY contributing factor. its probably not that important#okay so joy learns her lesson about the memories. but its still like. girl did you not already basically learn this before

letterboxd app apparently has added video ads bc i tried to view my activity and got hit with a 15 second unskippable ad... and deleted the entire app within 10 seconds of encountering this...
#no we are not playing this game lol.#i have even been considering getting a subscription to the site for a while now that i have a job and at least some extra income#but um. I'm not going to do it now bc i can't let them think this was a good move to make people buy adfree.#avpost#like i tolerated the banner ads but i draw the line at being unable to open any page in the app without sitting through a 15 second video.#i was like *tries to click someones review of a movie but gets stopped by a video ad for plex* huh that's weird i must have misclicked smth#*restarts app and clicks activity tab and gets stopped by the same ad* ah. well we arent doing this shit *uninstalls immediately*#i mean before the app for years i used lbxd exclusively in my firefox browser so its only a mild inconvenience to go back to that 🤷#im more worried about this as a bad sign from management of a website that i like. like is it about to get so much worse?#i love it im so happy to be on the internet in this. the corporate slop era. the inescapable advertising era.#i love that you can't watch youtube without 2 minute ad breaks anymore i love that every site has embedded video ads that stop your music.#i love that no matter what it is they're going to break it with ads and then sell you back an ad free version after they ruined it

I used to have a really giant family like tons of tias and tios and cousins and i say used to cause like it seems like after my grandparents died on both sides both families seemed to never speak again and i had no chance to even try and keep hold of those ties i was in elementary school watching my parents marriage crash and burn in real time dealing with major death in the family and then subsequent family abandoning me at the tender age of 11. Hell my brothers were older and jumped ship it was just me and the horrors
#my moms dad and my dads mom were like the heads of their families and they both died really close to each other#but my grandma and a tio on my moms side died within 3 days of each other after being in hospice literally 3 doors away from each other#for months and my parents both took the roles of like taking care of everything and being the descision makers cause no one else would#which im sure was super traumatizing in everyway possible but their siblings both seemed to resent them in ways#when they didnt want to be those people but had to be and they arent even the oldest siblings they are both like 3rd youngest#but like it just ruined the families and me and mom and my dad were all at the hospital or hospice center for months#we were there every day and night i remember it so much i can get anywhere in any hospital in my town using the stairwells#like i knew them that well#it also likely ruined my parents marriage which was bumpy before the intense major tragedy#which like yaknow what fair it was a lot to deal with ontop of like trying to crawl ur way out of the recession#but after all was said and done i talk to no one on my dads side i bearly talk to my older brother#and i talk to like my nina and two tias on my moms side and occassionally a few cousins#when theyre arent being fucking insane and unhinged#idk i loved having a huge family the like going to 5 houses on christmas type#going to birthdays or weddings and seeing everyone taking at least 45 mins to say bye to everyone#and now its gone and i wont ever get it back#and its by no fault of my own cause i was literally 11 and every adult decided i was gonna pay the price too#like i think abt when i get married its not gonna be what i thought itd be or when i get my first movie in theatres#im not gonna have the major family celebration ill have all my friends which im so greafull for#but its not the same yaknow#and id love to have that relatiomship with my family again but like where do u start when its been over 10+ years#like they remember 11 year old me if they remember me#and thats part of the problem#like on my moms side specifically i have some family who acts like theyve never met me before when i used to see them every weekend#and it was a major failing on my part as an 11 year old for not keeping in touch even tho we did my mom calls everyone and she tried#but people didnt want to return it#and as for my dads side its the same and if it was a moral failing for me as an 11 yr old to not reach out and they didnt like my mom much#my grandma fucking loved her but the rest of the family didnt and like i lived w my mom and was fucking 11 i couldnt go anhwhere by myself#and i didnt like not being places without a parent and i hated sleepovers i refused and they took it so personal#and they stopped talking to my dad and bad mouthed him and still do nd ill never allow that around me my dad isnt perfect but hes a good man

If you don't write Ben as trembling, shaking, tripping over himself, stumbling to his knees for Rey I don't think you actually understand the character as he was in that moment
Rey could have ended that war by taking his hand tbh. If she had taken his hand she absolutely could have convinced him to do anything in that moment. He just killed his master, the man who had been in his head for 30 years, manipulating and destroying him from the inside out. He had no sense of personal identity, just a loose sense of morals and ideals and his obsession with her. She fully controlled him.
Obviously she did what she thought she had to do but I'm only observing. She wanted the death and fighting to stop. I do think if she had taken his hand she could have convinced him. He wanted to bring about peace and balance like his grandfather, he just didn't have all the right tools, like, rey's goodness and a different perspective.
#ben in that 10 minutes between killing his master and losing rey was so overstimulated#not only has he lost the direct link to snoke whos been plaguing him with nightmares and fear#so deeply intertwined from when he was in his mothers womb that ben truly knows no different#but he and rey have fought side by side.. wordlessly communicating through their bond perfectly in sync with each other#theyve both repeatedly killed for each other and saved the others life#what exactly is supposed to happen next? she came to him willingly but does she want to stay?? he needs to get her to stay#his brain is scrambled fried baked whatever#his proposal is Mr Darcy in the Rain Fail Moment but hes not hopeless just hopelessly devoted to her#all im saying is theres a universe where rey sees the good ideas in his head and the chance to change things now hes in charge#leia may have been a princess and politician and luke may have helped save the galaxy#but its ben who frees the skywalker name from enslavement.. anakin was always under the emperor and he was no different#it could have been very interesting to see their tentative union while dropping hints in the last few minutes#that snoke was one of palpys clones. then it wouldn't have been so out of left field in the next movie#and we can get an even better showcase of rey embracing the dark feeling is surround her#palpy is drawing her in this time instead of ben and she doesnt even have to be blood related#I'd actually rather she still was rey of nowhere#but hes manipulating her and bens redemption arc is him saving her.. bringing her back to the light#but showing her how having both isnt so bad.. how being light and dark is ok . how love and anger and fear arent the end of living#so in helping her hes embracing his Light and her Dark and the conclusion is oh actually#this black and white moral structure is inherently fucked and balance is the only true answer to anything#ben solo#rey of jakku#reylo

re: ur tags about there being a good movie in jw you're so right and there's so many things they could've done that would've been soo much more interesting :')) i weep for the lost potential in the jw franchise
s a m e
there was so much potential there and it honestly makes me sad that we never got to see it because theres so many talented creatives who could have really shined with it.
and then instead, all the interesting ideas in the first jurassic world movie were sidelined to make a movie that feels intended to just be "bigger" than the original. honestly the way they describe the plan for the indominus seems like a blueprint for jurassic worlds priorities.
and then the second movie was half a lost world remake and then its just dinosaur mansion movie. but again it has really interesting ideas like the evil dinosaur auction. and the directing and cinematography in the second movie really shines in points like claires reintroduction mimicking hers in the first movie and all the more overt horror scenes. but the writing just fails it all.
i havent even seen the third one but i imagine its the exact same where so many people are doing their jobs so goddamn well and are being let down by writing that either sidelines or fucks up any interesting ideas.
#disastrixx#jurassic world#it really does just make me sad when you see people who are so damn good at their jobs being ruined by the writing or acting in the film#and the movies arent even bad in the eay jp3 is where like that movie is just so stupid and so committed to its stupidity#with the alan raptor ptsd dream#and also the phone ringing inside the fucking spinosaurus (which looks so good)#and the t rex pee that child somehow got#like i enjoy watching that movie because its fun and its not disappointing me with some really interesting ideas being sidelined

Oh my god Latios saying he'll go through Pitfall Valley wandering for the rest of his life because he thinks that's going to be Latias's fate regardless and "two is better than one"... oh my god
#how did i not pay the eon duo much attention before. i love sibling stories#ESPECIALLY if theyre tragic#echoed voice#btw side tangent from the movies but i hate how some canon material acts like only latias can disguise herself as a human and latios cant#when in the japanese version of heroes at least they EXPLICITLY say he can. he even does it in the japanese opening#like the manga apparently has it so that only latias can do it and latios exclusively has sight sharing#even tho nothing in heroes implies that its only latios who can sight share? its mostly just him cause latias is with ash mostly#and they needed to find him and not the other way around. latias just never had to initiate anything on her own end#like yeah its cool to give each of them something only they can do but those arent exactly parallel abilities yknow?#also it just rubs me the wrong way that like only the girl can become human. gives me an off vibe. esp with how she gets characterized#or portrayed ig#idk what else you could do to give them exclusive but parallel abilities but idk those two things dont feel right as that#maybe just having their signature moves be different is good enough? idk?#pmd posting
