#the actors they could have hired

Something wild and sinister about watching a video about the Disney renaissance through the lens of Howard Ashman’s body of work and how one of the things he instilled in the creative team in the animation department was that drawing from life experiences can be super beneficial to the creative process and really helps you connect with the audience, only for the video essay’s author to say at the end how Disney admitted that they were pivoting how Pixar operates to be less based in personal stories and more about sequels in order to boost profit margins.

Idk man…that just feels so sinister on the part of the company

you’ve probably gotten a lot of asks like this, but I just haven’t seen any posted. what are your feelings on the remake, if you are watching it? more specifically, what do you think was the biggest problem with it?

i rlly havent actually! i think it's bc im really trying to Pretend I Do Not See It. rn i'm fighting TOOTH AND NAIL against the temptation to hatewatch because i do not need that in my life lmao.

the thing i cannot get over with is how Cheap it looks, it rlly smells of poor rushed workers to me, despite the astronomical budget that went into it. 15 MIL!!??? same as the late seasons of game of thrones!! now i'm not saying GoT is a pinnacle of virtue but it featured: a really good burn scar make up that took up half a character's face, a really good Notorious white hair wig with intricate hairstyles, really good costumes and heavy winter furs, really good location and fantasy beasts cgi and ummmmmmm from what i've seen of natla well. it had nothing of the sort. it's just bad gary it's uglyy

i started playing max payne 2 and was immediately so put off by how he no longer has sam lake's face that i decided to put together a collection of some of the max payne 1 panels that i really liked. enjoy <3

movieposting continued: unfortunately tfone wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be based on tf mutuals posting about it. some design aspects were cool but the dialogue writing made me want to throw up in my mouth a little bit. kind of a "he's right behind me isn't he" deal all the way through where everything feels very canned and characters are saying exactly what they mean constantly

So I watched the Migration movie today and I was enjoying it up until I met this Jamaican bird named Delroy.

The issue isn’t that he’s Jamaican, bc I’m Jamaican American and I love to see representation of my culture. But it was the voice actor that completly ruined the rest of the movie for me.

His accent was off. And for those of you who don’t know Patois and the Jamaican accent in general, it may be hard even realize, but it sucked.

My issue is that they casted an American who did it. Not even a Jamaican American who was raised with Jamaican family. I’m sure there are so many Jamaican actors and actresses that could have embodied the role so much better.

I don’t only want to see proper POC representation in live actions. I want it in animation too. And that includes language, dialects, and accents.

some more thoughts about Andromeda's conservatorship:

their conservator has legal ownership of them and everything they represent. it started off as them becoming their guardian when they were itty bitty, but after a bad episode that was unfortunately public, they were coaxed into the conservatorship they're currently in. it wasn't a huge change honestly though because they were already used to being so restricted in everything they do. they're EXTRAORDINARILY sheltered, and not just in a "you haven't had to experience bad things" way.

I think their conservator/guardian is a normal dude when they're not working with Andro. they have a husband and some fur babies, nieces and nephews they love very much, and are all-around seen as a charitable, good person by the media, although as reclusive as Andromeda themself is. they've compartmentalized their mistreatment of Andromeda. Andromeda is a brand, a thing, they aren't a person to them anymore- maybe they were in the beginning, but certainly not now. they make their job "easier" by thinking of Andromeda less as someone with needs and more of a checklist minimum of things they have to accomplish in order to maintain the brand by keeping the icon compliant.

when i was hyperfiixated on tlou, i thought it was an admirable pleat to explore the stories and themes of like a hero in one persons story is a villain in another, perspective and humaity yada yada. but when i realized that this was based on neil druckmanns zionism and hate for Palestinians, its an evil story. bc 'there is no good or bad just perspective' is a VERY VERY nuanced statement. like yk genocide and like rape and murder is bad...lets not be stupid...

but its very obvious looking back as abby as an ex-iof soldier, the wlf being the iof...the seraphites being the Palestinians that 'cant share land and breaking treaties' (so dumb), the prisoners of war being tortured, the things abby said about like stupid kids needing to die like omg...and this being based off of what he seen growing up in occupied Palestine (the west bank i think). i think it was especially when he talked about an iof soldier being hung after an iof sodier was reported for murdering kids and how do the seraphite people kill the wif soldiers in the game......by hanging them. just a sick sick man and fuck everyone who has or is working for him that doesnt speak up about Palestine idgaf about no contract.

Beautiful thing happened today: the guy doing headshots had these brilliant nautical tattoos and I, a known ship nerd, pointed them out and said I thought they were brilliant. And he launched into how for 12 years he worked on a tall ship at one point as the captain. He got all excited telling me about it and asked if I was working on any ships. I said no, but I’d love to, have wanted to ever since I was a kid; he asks if I know so-and-so, to call him and even just being a passenger will get you credit with skippers. And at this point I’m grinning and laughing and I really want to talk more about sailing and historical stuff with this guy. He goes “Right tilt your head this way, you wanna look warm and approachable yet tough for any skippers!” Probably the best headshots I’ll ever get, those smiles were sincere. Then he recommended me his favourite book - its 700 pages and it’s 300 years of historical fiction called “We, The Drowned” which I’m checking out asap because it sounds brilliant
