i love the…. almost horror aspects of this album. all the references to ghosts and death…. and sonically, the unexpected shrieking in WAOLOM and the banging and screaming during “old habits die screaming” and even the way the tension subtly builds across the sixteen tracks and by the end you’re so stressed and shaken it’s like! losing your sense of self and feeling like you’ve become a monster is horror. and i’m sooooo glad she leaned into it

Oh no I missed coffee night!!!!
I wanted to ask you about Hitchcock 😔 If you're willing to answer, which movies of his do you think are overrated and which do you think are actually good? He's my most watched director (because film school) but I only genuinely like a few of his films and always disagreed with my classmates about which ones were the best
I feel like I'm holding up a Daffy Duck style sign that says "shoot me" because Hitchcock is so well thought of by cinephiles versus me, the basic horny mod who watches movies with hot people in them. With that said, I remember Rope, Dial M for Murder, North by Northwest, and To Catch a Thief all left me a bit flat, because I felt like he was prioritizing pushing technical limits or creating extravagant images over deeper characters and relationships. I love a good technical limit-pushing, but it needs to serve the story! And sometimes I feel like he has an idea he wants to try or an image he wants to show and puts so much focus on developing it that characters' reality and interest kind of falls by the wayside—they become pawns navigating his situations, instead of interesting characters in their own right.
To be fair, this is more a characteristic of his later work than his early work—The Lady Vanishes is one of my favorite movies, and I remember Notorious and Spellbound both being enjoyable when I watched them a few years ago. Again, basic film watcher here. Don't show this post to the Criterion collection.
#putting down the shoot me sign and backing away v fast#i just want to be clear i do NOT have cinephile movie taste. i like crowd pleasers and musicals and very silly movies.#i would be shot out of a film school in a cartoon cannon the minute they mentioned the word ~images~#with that said i am right and i should say it :) he is not that good of a director when it comes to storytelling :)#rope should be SO GOOD and....it is not. technically interesting. but not good!#posts that will get me murdered fr#asks#edit for more thoughts in the tags because this grinds my gears. lady vanishes works for me because there's lots of spookiness and a few#“wow!” pushing the limit things for film nerds. (the train noise is continuous & that was a big thing at the time)#but the train noise being continuous is SMART because it adds to the rising tension and sense of containment. essential to the story!#whereas rope does a similar trick (continuous looking shot) but it doesn't tie into the story in any way.#does it matter that we never look away from the living room with the corpse? does it mean something this happens in real-ish time?#you can make an argument it does textually but emotionally i never felt like rope's 1 shot was tying into *this* specific story.#like i thought it was called rope because the literal rope emotionally ties into the metaphorical rope of a neverending shot! but no#the tension never builds for me in rope and i think it's because not enough focus was spent on its characters or making sure the shot#echoed & or developed a point being made onscreen. you could make rope w/conventional cuts and edits and i dont think you would#emotionally end up with a significantly different movie. (it doesnt help that there are obvious seams in the shot at random places.)#all in all sometimes it feels like hitch is making a movie for people who understand what trick he's showing off#versus a movie for basic bitches like me who just want to hang out with some hot strange people for two hours#anyway. i feel like i have lost all my cred in one post. oh well. sorry hitch. lady vanishes is still great

i was so excited for venom 3 and was so unimpressed 😭 when it ended i was just like “…oh” and i have so many thoughts but i need to watch it again before i fully form them
#and i won’t be paying to see it again in theaters#a quick informal ramble ab my thoughts tho#i feel like what makes any venom media fun and interesting to partake in is the relationship between venom and eddie#like their relationship is the foundation of the plot and everything else happening is in parallel/connected to what’s going on between them#and this movie focused on their relationship like zero percent#like ofc there were a few moments here and there maybe but in all honesty the first time we see any emotion about how they feel ab each#other is at the end of the movie when they realize one of them will have to die#and i feel like we lowkey focused TOO much on the area 51 b plot#like i definitely liked the alien invasion vibes and that aspect but we spent too much time there to be having the same#fun as the first two movies#i feel like they could’ve used the codex as a source of tension between them bc they both were too uncomfortable not being able to mesh#fully whenever they wanted like they’ve spent such a long time together#and this would be removing an aspect of their relationship#esp when the whole thing that makes them special is that they’re symbiotic and have a unique and incredible bond#but ur telling me they can’t fully venom out and they’re both just like darn inconvenient#and then do it anyway a couple of times flippantly like for the dance w mrs chen#which was like such a random plot point to draw the creature back to them#clearly i have more thoughts than i initially believed#venom the last dance#venom 3#venom#symbrock

Hold up...
I realized a couple of months ago that the TV Movie air dates fall on the EXACT day that it originally premiered on this year:
Tuesday, May 14, 1996
Tuesday, May 14, 2024
Monday, May 27, 1996
Monday, May 27, 2024
Tumblr media
This actually just makes me so happy

I had a dream last night where basically, instead of the TF One quartet (well actually it was just Orion and D-16, tragically I don’t think my subconscious cares enough about the other two) getting their T-Cogs and new frames via magic transformation, they instead like, fell down a chute or something that put them on some assembly line where they got reassembled bit by bit into their new forms
They didn’t even realize what happened for a little bit afterwards until they realized they looked different now. It was like, a sudden thing and they couldn’t really get out, they were just sort of freaking out while it was happening
The way it actually works in the movie is fine and cool, I just thought this alternate scenario my brain cooked up sounded kind of neat

When watching the Rude Boys bring parkour chaos and pain onto the bad guys, am I the only one who just goes, "Wheee- Oh, my gosh! 😰"
....Note to Self: Don't mess with the Rude Boys.

Allow me to save you some time
They want a one to one, copy and paste, unoriginal piece of bullshit.
So I guess I'm making another post about the things I want from a Never Ending Sorry adaptation, but will sadly never get
Once again, we need to return to the original name of Fantastica. They changed the name when making it the first time to make it sound more "Disney" and that's dumb. You can't go changing the name of a stories world, that would be like renaming Middle-Earth
Once again, we can not see The Nothing in the new adaptation. It is not a black and imposing storm. Neither is it accompanied by one. It is absence, it is nothing, and looking upon it gives you a sense of blindness
A new one, I think doing a Never Ending Story movie like a Terry Pratchett miniseries would be immensely fun. Like The Color of Magic or The Hogfather. I just think it would be fun, and would help explain aspects of the story that had to get dropped in the previous adaptation
In case it was not already clear. The adaptation can not be like the original Disney movie, or like any of its sequels. It needs to be more like the original book. I'm not the most sure how that can happen, maybe it should be a show(a real show with 24 episodes) instead of a movie, but it needs to happen

I'm half asleep and running basically entirely on hyperfixation fumes so this thought process might be literally nothing but I'm thinking about how we as the viewer don't get to start making decisions in the Markiplier Cinematic Universe Canon until after the DA's death in WKM. We experience the entire series through their point of view and it's presumed we continue to inhabit their character throughout the canon (at least through date and heist, I'm ignoring space for my purposes bc my grasp on how that fits into the story is fuzzy at best on a good day lmao) but it isn't until after the events of wkm have played out that we start making decisions on their behalf
But anyways something something at the end of wkm they die at the hands of Wil, and they give up their body to Damien and Celine, and their story to Mark, and their autonomy to the viewer. Someone who isn't eepy as hell turn this into a more coherent line of thought for me

Just watched Funny Games (2007) for the Tim Roth whump because I watched a few gifsets and liked what I saw… Anyway, I have never been more pissed off at a movie IN MY LIFE and not in a fun cathartic way. This movie is, in fact, the polar opposite of catharsis.
I need to strangle those motherfuckers for my own sanity.

im   almost   done   reading   p.ractical   magic   ,   so   i'll   write   gillian's   bio   out   soon   ,   but   when   it   comes   to   her   sexuality   , she's   most   definitely   a   closet   bisexual.   she's   been   with   men   all   her   life   ,   so   the   idea   of   her   being   attracted   to   women   is   there   ,   but   she's   never   acted   upon   it.

Im thinking about gravity falls (making sprites of all the characters) and I was looking at manly dan and tyler cutebiker like 'who the hell do these guys remind me of' it's bowser and luigi. Full-on bowser and luigi.
#random thoughts#gravity falls#i like their little background relationship!!!#manly dan and his kids WOULD do a bowser and koopalings group costume.#for summerween#not because it's mario but because it's a group costume#that family fucking loves matching#when his kids were younger they'd give him the ds to beat a hard level in whatever game they're playing#but now that he's older he's. not very good at video games#cutebiker. i don't know what mario character he'd dress up as?#like the obvious choice is luigi (tall lanky moustache green hat vaguely middle-aged)#but i just feel like he's a green koopa kinda guy??? like in my heart#i like the idea of him getting scared and tucking himself into his shell :]#and of course manly dan chucking him at whatever monster of the week is going after his kids#mabel's mario full stop#dipper's toad. he gives off toad energy. he's very mad about it#the obvious choice for stan is wario but like . . . nabbit? like he was a cowboy but mabel scribbled on his bandana#soos would be some fucking obscure character and be sad whenever people don't recognize who he is#that of course ends with melody recognizing who he's dressed up as and they have a moment#either wart for the bit or prince haru so melody can be peach from the og mario movie#wendy is wendy mostly to make her dad happy.#candy and grenda are their own original mario brothers (orange and blue) with the first letters of their own names embroidered on their hats#sheriff blubs and deputy durland are daisy and luigi respectively involving at least one bridal carry#this all leads up to the discovery of like. actual mario power-ups btw. including wart being the villain and no one recognizing him#except for soos ofc#i dunno who ford would be. maybe some made-up mario character who only exists in another dimension?#either that or gender-swapped rosalina. in another universe rosalina is a prince.#i just really like the idea of ford in regal attire#or he's his own oc. he's a nerd
