jordan peele made a movie that said this industry and the media surrounding it chews people up to a pulp and spits them out and then wonders why they’re dead or crazy and then has the audacity to make content from their deaths and their insanity and the only way you can survive is if you keep your head down because if you just so happen to slip up if you look up look around when you know you shouldn’t the industry the media everything is going to eat you alive and I totally believe that the powers that be who do the chewing and the spitting and the exploitative death content did not like that at all

i’m a bit bummed and how little recognition NOPE has received this awards season i will say it

#nope spoilers #kind of #which doesn’t even get into the racial aspects but it’s not my place to speak on that so i defer to others in that regard #god for fucking bid a movie criticize you or be hopeful or popular or comedic or anything that isn’t ruben östlund’s slimy smugness #like nominating blonde for acting over something like the woman king or nope or even maverick is like.#oh you fuckers looooove that exploitative death content huh. marilyn & elvis can’t consent to you using their tragic lives as entertainment.#which makes it all the more fun. you love to watch an actor do an impression of a dead famous person.#since none of you would know great acting if it hit you in the face you need a real person for comp you need it to look effortful #they were never going to nominate daniel kaluuya or kekè palmer or even tom cruise because they make it all looks so easy. effortless.#they don’t look like they’re struggling to act they don’t look like they’re suffering emotionally mentally while acting #because they’re actually good at what they do. but they’re not making movies in the genres the academy trips over themselves to award #anyway the day horror and action and comedy get as much recognition from the academy as every middling biopic i’ll keel over and fucking die
