#no i just watched the fucking movie

[jewishbarbies]

the thing i don’t understand about disney’s buzzfeed changes to the songs to add consent is like…the whole point is Ariel pursuing Eric? why does SHE need to give consent when it’s her trying to get HIM to kiss her? “kiss the girl” is literally Sebastian trying to convince Eric to kiss her because she’s trying to get him to kiss her. like??? how do you get Eric possibly taking advantage of Ariel out of that scene? Eric should be the one giving consent. how do you get him possibly taking advantage of her at all when he’s literally NOT into her until the end?? no child is watching the little mermaid and thinking rape and assault are okay, because the whole time Ariel was the one pursuing him. that perceived possibility is not anywhere near the original story and it’s perspective. it’s mind boggling.

(also it figures they would add the possibility of rape to an innocent story like this, written originally by a man about his unrequited love for another man.)

80s anime dubbing is truly a lost art form

[words-writ-in-starlight]

listen I expected literally Nothing from the D&D movie okay, like I can't make it clear enough that I expected the most soulless money grab with a good cgi budget imaginable, I went in having already gone through every stage of grief and landed on acceptance and LISTEN

I fucking CRIED during this dumb RPG movie. it wasn't just "not terrible" it was objectively good with a clever plot and compelling characters and sincere emotional beats. this movie loves D&D so fucking much and it NAILS the "a bunch of goobers try to be cool and accidentally discover The Power Of Friendship And Also Great Violence" classic D&D party vibe. their barbarian's last name is fucking Kilgore and my entire family cried in the theater.

I hope they make twelve of these motherfuckers.

modern media literacy is so cooked like what do you mean you gave saltburn a .5 star rating because it wasn’t the class consciousness film you wanted that’s not what the fucking movie is about… ‘they made it hard to keep rooting for him and identifying with him’ idk maybe don’t project onto every character in media you come across & then get scared when they act in a way you wouldn’t

thinking about how Humans Are Space Orcs stories always talk about how indestructible humans are, our endurance, our ability to withstand common poisons, etc. and thats all well and good, its really fun to read, but it gets repetitive after a while because we aren't all like that.

And that got me thinking about why this trope is so common in the first place, and the conclusion I came to is actually kind of obvious if you think about it. Not everyone is allowed to go into space. This is true now, with the number of physical restrictions placed on astronauts (including height limits), but I imagine it's just as strict in some imaginary future where humans are first coming into contact with alien species. Because in that case there will definitely be military personnel alongside any possible diplomatic parties.

And I imagine that all interactions aliens have ever had up until this point have been with trained personnel. Even basic military troops conform to this standard, to some degree. So aliens meet us and they're shocked and horrified to discover that we have no obvious weaknesses, we're all either crazy smart or crazy strong (still always a little crazy, academia and war will do that to you), and not only that but we like, literally all the same height so there's no way to tell any of us apart.

And Humans Are Death Worlders stories spread throughout the galaxy. Years or decades or centuries of interspecies suspicion and hostilities preventing any alien from setting foot/claw/limb/appendage/etc. on Earth until slowly more beings are allowed to come through. And not just diplomats who keep to government buildings, but tourists. Exchange students. Temporary visitors granted permission to go wherever they please, so they go out in search of 'real terran culture' and what do they find?

Humans with innate heart defects that prevent them from drinking caffeine. Humans with chronic pain and chronic fatigue who lack the boundless endurance humans are supposedly famous for. Humans too tall or too short or too fat to be allowed into space. Humans who are so scared of the world they need to take pills just to function. Humans with IBS who can't stand spicy foods, capsaicin really is poison to them. Lactose intolerance and celiac disease, my god all the autoimmune disorders out there, humans who struggle to function because their own bodies fight them. Humans who bruise easily and take too long to heal. Humans who sustained one too many concussions and now struggle to talk and read and write. Humans who've had strokes. Humans who were born unable to talk or hear or speak, and humans who through some accident lost that ability later.

Aliens visit Earth, and do you know what they find? Humanity, in all its wholeness.

weekend house parties at bgc...

ill be honest as much as i love to criticise the use of fatphobia for comedy ill never be able to hold the fatphobic jokes in kung fu panda against it

like yea those movies are guilty of dipping into The Usual Tropes for a cheap laugh but not only is the character writing for the fat characters the strongest and most sympathetic ive Ever seen literally just the character designs of the pandas in the 3rd movie get me choked up sometimes. theyre all so appealing and clearly treated with the same care and attention as everyone else without copping out and making them Barely Fat. po is already a size that doesnt exist in film protags and hes still the thinnest person in that whole village and that meant a lot to me

Can we agree that the "Thats two things" line from Mike was autistic as shit

[queen-lucy-the-valiant]

"Edmund, I've got a bad feeling" is such a funny line if you take it in context with the "the last time I didn't believe Lucy, I ended up looking pretty stupid" line from PC. Because Caspian and co are probably like... yeah bad feeling, it's Eustace, what good feelings could you have? but then Edmund's probably thinking something like... dear god, please don't let this be as dramatic as the last few times, we don't have enough men to fight another war rn.

i found an extremely low budget 40 minute amateur movie of sir gawain and the green knight here's some of my favourite things in it:

arthur makes the gigachad face at the green knight

the green knight says "all i see are lily livered bitches" and gawain replies with "the only bitch i see is thou"

all the knights hop around with hobby horses whenever they need to be riding a horse. gawain is seen driving a car with gringolet in the passenger seat but then he hobby horses across a busy road to chik fil a

gawain gets offered drugs by someone wearing a plague doctor mask and a dressing gown

gawain is given an enchanted sword which is just a soggy baguette from a lake

"cometh at me bro"

a scientologist monk almost gets kicked to death

"these are no ordinary breeches they come from the land of (checks label) old navy"

bertilak hunts a teddy bear and a pineapple which are attached to strings like puppets

there is a close up shot of bertilak gripping gawain's ass

[zeviolett]
