love how in the book addam velaryon claimed seasmoke as his dragon but in the show seasmoke very much Actively Located And Claimed His Special Guy. crisped steffon darklyn extra well then immediately hunted down his old rider’s brother because if he can’t have laenor, then he wants the next best thing

being someone who was a massive gothy Tim Burton fan throughout their teens, spending the last several years seeing Burton turn out soulless dry biscuit film after soulless dry biscuit film, then going into the cinema and watching Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and discovering it to be the most deliciously barmy, left-out-in-the-rain, toxic green slime cake I ever et, was such a delight for me. It was wonderful. I cut into that cake and it was full of real sets and B-movie makeup and soul. I felt like Gordon Ramsay when he goes back to the failing restaurant after they've gotten their shit together and he eats their revitalised menu and it's completely unrecognisable from the slop he was served before. I felt like breaking into Tim Burton's kitchen with my licked-clean plate and yelling, "Yes! Thank FUCK! Finally some passion in your fucking work, Tim!"
#is it the most perfect of his films? no#there are 16 plots and they're all tap dancing at once#fortunately I LOVED all of them so it was difficult to give a shit about there being 16 of them#when they first cut to the Netherworld and it was a physical set instead of a 100% CGI mirage i wanted to burst into gospel music#and willem defoe is there and he just says very stupid jokes and crushes a cup of coffee repeatedly? YES#it does not have to make perfect sense when it sparks such joy#for me anyway you don't go to a burton film for scintillating scripts and watertight plots#you go to FEEL things#how did he make you feel it exactly?? almost irrelevant a good burton film is a delight for the subconscious and the senses#and it was so dumb. it was so so dumb#and i loved how centred it was on lydia astrid and delia#finally some good fucking food#hmp42

Horror films will start off saying "this family seems really off, aggressive and secretive... they must have bad intentions towards their child!" and you're like "please show me horror developing in the silence that grows in rooms of abuse" and as you're still saying this, the horror films will say "Hah!!! Got you! They're actually protecting the child from some random danger! The father wasn't evil after all!!" and no. Actually, I don't feel like excusing that behaviour. I don't think there's an evil cgi woman living behind the walls that's to blame for the fact that "love can look like abuse". I think it's lazy and downright shameful that you said that. Get that cgi woman out of here. I saw the father slam his hand on that table.
#SCREAM#They made Jack torrance and then went 'no. we can never do that again.'#and ever since every american father who slams doors and handles hammers with a purpose#and every wife who's so tense she can barely walk and who screams at her child#are actually signs of a protective and loving family trying to shield their child from the evil CGI women#like all the Shining references in this stupid film make me so angry hhh#evil cgi woman in the walls??!??!?!?!?!? HELLO?!#and I fucking called it too#but I still sat and watched it happen

I love how Down Bad Dave is for Jack. Like yeah and the sky is blue but like seriously. He's so obsessed w that stupid tangerine my man lost braincells his raging homosexual tendencies did more than any lobotomy could to fry his brain he was so much more smart in the first game but the moment he met Jack bro just Lost it and he didn't even Need to work with him just meeting him and bro was so overwhelmed by emotions it's almost cute if you ignore how violent and self centered this made him. But it's also funny because like he IS a really smart man he's really meticulous and crafty and capable of foresight yet he is so fucking distraught by getting dumped by his Nothing, His Fucking Coworker, Nothing Else that he STORMS THE BUILDING PACKED W ROBOTS CAPABLE OF RECOGNIZING CRIMINALS like my man the same guy who's sloppy but so effective he got away w shit for so long just threw all rational thinking off the window bc he was ooooh so angry and sad!!! It's great. It's so silly. I want to squish him with both my hands so hard.
#luly talks#dsaf#dsaf dave#Dave Miller#fought for my life to get out a post that made sense istg#i needed to say something about Dave else I'd cgi ganon voice DIE but yeha#this is something i realized while typing the tags on a different post too btw so i threw that one in the drawers and came here to make it#its own post bc we dont talk enough of how smart and stupid this man is#aubergine man finds love to terrific results

#this is a very stupid post#obv with the options i am avoiding magic etc but instead how they might translate to the Tremors environment#also i didn't give either cleric “healing/first aid” because that's boring#also there IS a correct answer but it's also a trick question because they are all correct#I'm watching Tremors II tonight and it's so fun#practical effects still strong even where the CGI has quickly become dated#critical role#op#polls#it's shitpost o'clock

One of the absolute worst things in my opinion about the live action ATLA remake is the removal of Sokka’s sexism. “Oh the things he said were ‘questionable’ so we ‘updated’ his character”
Wow it’s almost like the character. Had a flaw. It’s almost like he was raised in an extremely patriarchal society where what he was saying was the norm. And it’s almost like he had to unlearn these behaviors as he traveled and became exposed to more ways of life.
Yknow
Like a character arc or something
And don’t even get me started on what this does to the Kyoshi Island events. In the original, it’s meaningful that he wears Kyoshi’s uniform, a woman’s dress, after being so certain that a woman could not be a skilled warrior and did not deserve the respect afforded by the uniform.
And I’m absolutely CERTAIN the new show runners will see this scene and think it will be enough to pay lip service to the ‘woke’ idea of a man in a dress as like a “wow a man in a dress how woke” moment to try to garner the goodwill and sympathy of a younger hipper audience. Except ITS GOING TO RING ENTIRELY HOLLOW because Sokka is not learning anything by doing it! He’s not growing in any way!! It’s literally just. “Haha what if Sokka wore a dress” which is the OPPOSITE of what the original conveys!!!!!
I am BEGGING you absolute sheeple to let this piece of shit flop. It’s disrespectful to the original and honestly just cheap, lazy writing. If you want a good Avatar the Last Airbender: JUST FUCKING WATCH THE ORIGINAL!
#and it goes back to the notion that animation is inherently inferior to live action#which is a. wrong. b. stupid. and c. the reason we have so many dogshit live action adaptations of things#ITS ISNT INHERENTLY BETTER. IT IS USUALLY INHERENTLY WORSE.#the original is a masterpiece on every level and pretending it needs improvement is disrespectful as fuck to the original cast and creators#why do you need to see CGI fire and elements effects#why can’t it be enough to watch the original’s beautifully traditionally animated elements and feel all the love and work that went into it?#are you that much of a little baby that you can’t suspend your disbelief and need everything spelled out to you in shitty computer effects??#all I can say to that is:#skill issue#idiot#atla#avatar the last airbender#live action atla#come fight me about it you fucking dipshits

should I finally get around to watching Agatha all along I love gay women and murder and assholes
PLEASSSSEEE DO ITS SO GOOD.. I have rly low expectations when it comes to marvel shows and mcu in general bc. I mean. yeah. but it’s rly good Agatha is such a Character. Tbh I’ve never seen a female character like her in anything before, and so that’s exciting to me too.
the only thing is if u do watch it u also. Kind of have to have watched Wandavision for it to make sense. But both series are only like 9 episodes and 40-30 min episodes
#ask tag#agatha all along#idk if you’ve seen Wandavision#I’ll advertise it too#Wandavision is good. Very good. A lot of psychological horror.#Really well written (so is Agatha all along) imo#Both shows are really heavily centred on grief and trauma#Agatha is in Wandavision she gets a cute little villain song#I’ll admit I find the superpower cgi a bit stupid looking in both shows (less so in Agatha bc it fits into the setting better)#And I remember the way Wandavision ended bothered me. A lot of that may have been Agatha related and that might be cured now bc of her show#And knowing she’d get out of her mind prison#But overall yeah both shows are reallly good#Oh man and Kathryn Hahn is such a good actress#She really sells Agatha’s drama#And she’s so funny and also really attractive and idk sorry I’m fangirling#Honestly I’d recommend going straight into Agatha after Wandavision instead of waiting several years like I did#And then being really confused as to why we were in a trashy detective drama bc I’d forgotten that Aggie got trapped in a mind prison

hey guess what. you’ll never believe this. agatha show? ended stupid. kathryn hahn and aubrey plaza kissed for real tho.
#i think i’m more disappointed bc i actually liked the last episode a lot#it raised my hopes unrealistically….#will say it ended less stupid than like. any other mcu disney show maybe? how did ms. marvel end… i don’t remember… not a great sign i admi#had some fun twists and turns. some cool reveals.#delved just long enough into cgi laser show territory to lampshade it in a way that felt deliberate which was kinda funny#but. the final scene? stupid. did not land the plane.#also? not in love with agatha’s foundational psychology being about her mom grief lol#mcu

i was going to make a post telling yall to stop calling godzilla minus one a low-budget film (because it isn't) but then i remembered disney regularly drops 12 million for ONE EPISODE of their shows without nearly the same cultural impact so. yeah godzilla is low-budget as far as i'm concerned idc
#uhhhh me#film budget is such an interesting thing to think abt#for those curious: godzilla had a budget of 10 million#which seems like a lot until you compare it to an average hollywood action movie which is like. 100 million easy#incidentally that is oppenheimer's budget!#so seeing that you go wow! why the discrepency?#as far as i can figure. american movies go for the big mass appeal so they'll out more money into international releases etc#whereas japanese films only rly care about domestic release so they save a stupid amount of money there#(i'm sure there's more to this and i have my theories but i don't have hard data rn to back it up so i won't say it)#so anyway. 10 mil is a very modest budget by hollywood standards but by japan standards it's above average actually#oh yeah the other thing about budgets i always come back to#is the fact the percy jackson show had 12 million per episode#but did not look or feel nearly as good as shadow and bone which had average 4 mil per episode. literally a third what percy had#the allegiant movie had an estimated ~120 mill budget and somehow was worse in every single way than the scorch trials movie#which had 61 mil. HALF what allegiant had and yet literally everything about it was more pleasing#one of my fave sci-fi films prospect has less than 4 mil budget and yes you could tell the cgi was unreal sometimes#it was done in a way that looked artistic instead of cheap and glossy#and i would watch that over whatever new movie the mcu pops out with like. 200 mil budget that somehow looks uglier-#-than a movie on 4 mil#oh my god what in the fucking world. antman 3 had 300 million. whomst.#and the movie didn't even look good? the audacity#7 times prospect's budget and looks like shit#anyway. budget is a weird thing#it rly comes down to who's handling the project and how smartly they use that money#oh ya the other thing i was gonna say is i do think there's a difference between 'low budget film' and 'film with a lower budget'#i think godzilla is a lower budget film (comparatively to hollywood) but not a low budget film. if you catch my drift.

okay i just marathoned the entirety of ATLA live action & i might do an actual review of it explaining my thoughts more in depth, but the TLDR version basically boils down to this:
if you want to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender, just go watch the 2005 cartoon
#i was trying to keep an open mind & all that cuz of OPLA (my beloved) but. holy shit it was actually worse than i expected :/#like what were they thinking. did they use AI to write this or are the writers just like. really shitty#notes: they linger too much on random bullshit & refuse to move character development along#they tell when they should be showing & when they DO show it's for stuff that benefited from brief environmental storytelling in the OG#the plot drags so hard it was basically stagnant#there were some fun things but like. those things could've been funner if they'd been given the time other useless stuff was taking up#they changed so many minor details that really don't matter in order to make them more important#but this failed spectacularly because now there's just. stupid bullshit clogging up the plot??#instead of having 10 minute monologues 3 times an episode about plot irrelevant things#they should have taken a page out of the original's book & kept minor details to a minimum & focused on ACTUAL PLOT#SO MUCH CGI. LIKE I KNOW THEY NEED IT BUT COME ON. EVEN THE CHARACTERS?????? WHO ARE JUST STANDING THERE????????#they were given 8 hours & almost all of it was Aang angsting (lol) over being the avatar & not practicing actual bending#& then they ended the plot too early so they had to fill in the last like 20 minutes with something else#so they made up random lore that literally makes no sense. & overexplained all of it to the point i was blanking out from boredom#i think this is why i didn't enjoy Korra. they over explain the spirit world stuff & avatar powers & bending#that plus i just don't vibe with the aesthetic#being a writer is a curse because when i dislike something it's because i know exactly what went wrong & why#it's always with the analyzing & the judging & the internal note taking#even when i really try i can't just enjoy shit for fun

❝I said I'd take on whoever shows up. You took it to the next level. I don't care where it goes: the ring, the streets, the locker room...

It's them.
Don't let that serious face fool you. Izumo was the one who came up with whatever idea put them there. Kotetsu only made it worse.
I got the background from here but had to edit the heights bc my boys are smol
#izumo kamizuki#kotetsu hagane#koteizu#those two guys from naruto#naruto#see izumo was a good kid. Then Ko came in & corrupted him into childish mischief 24/7 since age 7#now izumo uses his outstanding intelligence for stupid ass pranks that land them in jail at times#don't let that face fool u he regrets N O T H I N G. He's laughing inside. He just doesn't want it to be registered in his record#kotetsu doesn't care#see also how ko's id has no last name? it's not needed. It was stated in the mugshot before his. They're married#'and kotetsu' instead of his name bc every time EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TIME izumo ends up in jail it's ALWAYS with Kotetsu#btw this is traced. I'm not an artist so I literally just put a layer on the original & traced lmao But I did do the rest &#I'm actually lowkey proud of it even though it looks like bad cgi made in ms paint 2003 LOL#but you have to understand i made it with a free online program with no art knowledge & with A MOUSE w/o mousepad LMAO#also i'm back. I was drowning in the abyss of university & depression. Now it's only depression. But Those Two Guys make it better#for someone that only draws for the memes i spend an awful 3+ hours anxiously palm-sweating before i can click 'post'
