Shadow: "What's happening?!"
Eggman: "The reactor core's overloading. It's only a matter of time before it blows."
SCENES I WISH WERE EXISTED IN SONIC MOVIE 3 part 3
Part 1 | Part 2
This was based on my own review. Specifically this part:
"Dang, Shadow was callous. He just let Sonic fall to the earth! I mean... at least let him try to save him for a bit or something. Then Knuckles and Tails appeared, telling Shadow to focused on the Eclipse Canon for now while they handle Sonic. This way, we could see that Shadow did try to establish a camaraderie with Sonic. That he did try to forgive and change."
You can read my review HERE
If they don't wanna give me Shadow's reaction when he saw Sonic fall to the earth, then fine. I'll do it myself 😤
#sonic movie#sonic movie 3#shadow the hedgehog#sonic the hedgehog#miles tails prower#knuckles the echidna#I know this is a common knowledge in game#but still#how in the heck were they able to breath on space?#sure they were in Super form and that form made them invisible#but there was one part where Sonic and Shadow lose their Super form#and they were STILL able to talk like normal#how?? is it because they're Mobian and Mobians don't need to breath?#then why's Sonic nearly drown in the previous movie???#okay. These were all the scenes I wish were existed in Sonic Movie 3#the film is good dont get me wrong#but if they fix the pacing then it'll be perfect#hey at least I can draw Shadow now hahaha#next I'll have to learn how to draw Sonic#idk why but he's kinda hard to draw too :')

What..... what was midas man. Like, sure, competent biopic but also so....man....
#like dont get me wrong it was enjoyable#but now i know why people called it unremarkable#for a film about brian i felt it said really very little??????#also i loved the beatles dynamic but both the beatles and cilla kinda felt a bit one dimensional?#cilla less so though because the scene with her and brian at the wedding was very sweet#but i think briand actors performance was very good especially looking at what he was given to work with#you can kinda smell the changes in directors#also tex dont piss me off can we have one biopic without a fictional guy who plays a major role in the story#i know he's inspired by brians lovers but did they have to be meshed into One very annoying Guy#i should read up more on brian because this has told me basically nothing#actually it dis say a lot but to the point it yapped on and on and didnt show????#come on movie#okay thats the breif thoughts#midas man#the beatles#brian epstein

Absolutely obsessed with how these mecha move tbh
Land Lion - Choujuu Sentai Liveman
God Logan - Ninja Sentai Kakuranger
Won Tiger - Gosei Sentai Dairanger
#liveman#kakuranger#dairanger#world's biggest sucker for articulated legs please send help#when it comes to the mecha physical props/miniatures are SO important to me#seeing the way they move - watching tangible props combine into the giant robo#dont get me wrong cg mechs are FINE and dated cg has its charm but MAN do i love a good physical miniature#something that i found very amusing about gaoranger was how they didnt have full physical props for any of the individual mecha#so instead you only ever see shots of like... gaolions head but its very obviously just gaoking's chest filmed from a funky angle#BACK ON TOPIC#the second i saw land lion i literally fell in love#it is the quintessential lion mecha in my mind i dont think any robot will ever compare to the beauty that is land lion#the way god logan spins through the air absolutely SENDS ME every time i see him do it#picturing saizou rattling around in there like a marble#and won tiger is so DAMN cute#black/white + red accents is a truly beautiful colour combination i will never not love a good red orb#gif post tag

i think it is silly when people act like studio ghibli is the end all be all of animated filmmaking and writing when in fact every film will have a different combo of writers and directors and when marnie was there is a movie that cannot execute the basic tenets of "show dont tell"
#DONT get me wrong its a good movie and a good story#but i would love if someone could explain to me Why they chose to do ALL the exposition as narrated flashbacks#also why did they have the audience put together who marnie was SOOOOO much earlier through flashbacks we assume anna as the pov character#is also having only for her to apparently not know who marnie was until the moment her mom hands her that photograph#i also dont get why everyone at the school would be like UGHHHH SHES SO QUIET like they SAID she used to be bright and happy and expressive#and it was only after she found out about the govt subsidy that she got upset and quiet. how long ago did she find out.#where are her friends. i'm curious about the book and how similar or different it is from the movie. i'm curious how much the author knew#about foster care in japan. also is anna in foster care or has she been adopted? i guess foster care if theyre getting subsidies.#a (children's) book BY a japanese foster parent called ぼくのかぞく has an afterword by the author (idr her name) about the foster system in japan#and just the afterword was a really interesting read. i am wondering how much the people (be they original author or screenplay adaptor)#who decided anna should be a foster child knew about foster care in japan. i dunno. again i liked it well enough#but something something interesting trend in most recent ghibli films about accepting a mother and again. if someone can explain to me why#there are so many narrates flashbacks explaining the story instead of.....idk.....anna investigating further.....her flipping through the#stages of marnie's life at the manor like a broken vhs#something like that#t

seeing ppl in the tags super used to the j/apperwock(y) in b/urton's alice and then getting mad at how 'ugly' the s/yfy version is is absolutely hilarious to me bc the s/yfy version is literally just lifted from the original illustrations
#its like am/erican m/cgee's only he added a few things to it#it originally WAS that ugly#also when they're mad like 'WHY DID THEY NOT ADD THE Y' bc it doesnt have a y#the POEM is j/abberwocky#the CREATURE is the j/abb/erWOCK#wanna say anything abt the a/lice version laugh at the laughability of the C/GI bc like#yes it was 2009 but the c/gi is kind of laughable at times#still good for the time. but laughable. the budget was really noticeable there#or when ppl are like 'they should have just kept b/urtons and left this mess' BITCH S/YFYS WAS FIRST#the similarities are funny bc s/yfy was a whole YEAR before b/urtons came out#and dont get me wrong i like/love b/urtons to a point but#you can't claim they copied one that was still being filmed#when theirs was being released#the trailers were already coming out like omg#its so funny but so wild at the same time that the discourse is#STILL in those tags after all this itme#s/yfy alice was 15 years ago now in abt 6ish months#b/urtons was 14#it's not even a competition esp when we know d/s doesnt need defense or help w anyhting#lol#tbd#anyways love my ugly ass giant duck lizard#'oh he doesnt look fearsome' no he looks dorky but honestly being almost murdered by a beast that looks like that#that WOULD be terrifying as many can say when you think you're safe bc its dorky looking but then it ends up being the worst#out.

media analysis or just . SPEAKING about it for that matter on tiktok is so abhorrent it literally is making me infuriated
#IM LITERALLY FUMING RNN my sibling told me that its okay i should calm down bc#people ontiktok arent real/the reading comprehension is horrible#BUT LIKE. FOR EXAMPLE#THIS GUY WHO TURNED HIS COMMENTS OFF ON HIS RANT ABT ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT#I WIL NEVER GET THOSE MINUTES OF MY LIF EBACK AND FOR WHATT#HIS ARGUMENT WAS THAT IT WAS 'BASICALLY LIKE ALL OTHER WAR FILMS' AND#AND I FUCKING QUOTE#'WAS GUT PUNCH AFTER GUT PUNCH. AND WHEN YOU REALIZE THIS IS ABOUT REAL PEOPLE IT MAKES YOU SADDER'#LIKE??ITS A FUCKING WAR FILM???#WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?? THEM TO BE FROLICKING IN FIELDS ??#THATS THE POINT!! IT SHOWS YOU HOW MEANINGLESS FUCKING FIGHTING TURNS PEOPLE INTO SHELLS OF THEMSELVES#AND FOR WHAT? FOR MEN WHO DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THEIR LIVES?#ITS JUST SHEDDING BLOOD FOR NO GOOD REASON ITS FIGHTING OTHER MEN TAKING THE SAME ORDERS AS YOU BUT JUST FROM A DIFFERENT MAN#YOU ALL WANT TO GO HOME!! YOU ALL WANT TO GO HOME#BUT YOU CANT . ok im done yelling but#thats the point. youre SUPPOSED to witness this and feel horrible and self reflect#if its not your cup of tea? thats fine. theres plenty of other media to enjoy#but when you make baseless critics and then refuse to believe youre wrong its. its just?? i dunno#also saw this w nope but dont even get me STARTED !!

I am reading The Shining for the first time in earnest (bc it scared the piss out of me when I was like 13) and am about 40% of the way into it. I know the main story beats from pop culture osmosis so I wasn't worried about spoilers and decided to ALSO watch the movie foe the first time.
Mr Kubrick really said, "Actually, fuck the source material! I'm going to tell a different story!" huh?
#ro talks#the shining#sir why did you adapt this one then???#dont get me wrong it is good cinema#and massively influenced horror and film#i cannot understate the importance of the movie#but its also like#absolutely not the story in the book??#the themes and characterizations diverge SO MUCH#i feel 0% pity for movie jack#or movie wendy for that matter#but their book versions???#oh the tragedy#the complexity#the way Wendy will throw down for her son without hesitation

some of u may be surprised to hear this from me, but the hammer dracula films have far too much catholicism for my taste
#dont get me wrong i LOVE some good old catholic imagery#and with vampires and ESP dracula theres gonna be catholic themes obviously#but jesus#give it a rest oh my goddddddd#the worst of it was in dracula has risen from the grave#what the fuck do you MEAN the atheist charecter has to pray for the staking to work? thats never been a thing!#and at the end he does the little sign of the cross we get it. u love jesus whateverrrrr#also that film had dracula appear in a reflection! booooo!!!!!

I've discovered that I don't like murder mysteries even if they are spooky and magical. They are too close to reality and I don't like murder....
#just watch a film based on an Agatha Christie novel and remembered why ive never wanted to read them...#its nothing against Agatha Christie i just dont like the genre#like it was a good movies dont get me wrong#and im sure its an even better book#but i dont like murder#but i think the fact that it is something that could be plausible irl it spooks me yk?!#like fantasy murder is so far from reality#you can detach yourself#like even when reading true crime its the same thing....#maybe i just dont like crime genre?!#ill stick to my fantasy and airy fairy things#mystery#murder mystery#agatha christie#my thoughts#books#movies#oops i may have gotten myself into trouble with Agatha Christie fans.....#i promise i mean no ill will#amazing story. good mystery. im just a scardy cat XD#on fear#scardy cat

i have so many thoughts about the tommy song/video and theyre a jumbled mess. i wouldnt call this an analysis this is just. most of my thoughts surrounding the video and what it shows about tommy
one of the things that stuck out to me (outside of how depressing and just like. is this guy okay) is something that ive always respected tommy for because he's always stuck with it and its his like. fervent conviction in people doing things theyre passionate about. thats always been one of the things he talks about all the time!!!
when AI started appearing he was talking about death of creativity, with the internet he's always talking about how the real tragedy is the algorithm killing people's passion by driving them with views and money, and even when he talks about youtube itself, and nowadays standup, its so full of passion.
and i think thats really important because it would be extremely easy for someone like tommy, who's in the process of maturing his online image from a very loud, immature and PASSIONATE persona, to make fun of it. it would be so easy to do like so many other creators and laugh at how "cringe" it was and make a quick cash/attention grab with a funny clip of him laughing at himself. but he never has. well don't get me wrong he's laughed at himself or old videos but it's always just. good natured taking the piss out of himself, it's never this like. mocking your younger self who was so excited to do what they did only because now its "cringe".
not only is he constantly giving that advice to other people (its been years of him replying, to any kid in his chat or donations asking advice on how to be a creator etc, "just go and do it if you love it!!"), he's coherent with how he applies it to himself. he realised he was making cash grab tiktok react vids and hated it so much he just stopped uploading for a while.
i dont know i just think there's something admirable about being able to still be sincere in a time where everything especially online has to be processed through a layer of irony. and its even funnier because he's more sincere THROUGH the irony i mean he's literally going into standup.
letting yourself create something that "means" something is fucking hard especially when half the internet still sees you as a kid who screams around. except the thing is that kid DID make stuff that mattered and that meant something because he was, in his own words, having fun.
i think thats what the format of the video was about too. i mean i think it was pretty clearly not a song thats meant to be streamed, its not purely music, its also a video because tommy is also first and foremost an editor who went to film college. its also not a "comedy" song like he's made some before, because those were all intentionally created to land as many jokes and make a big buzz— which doesnt mean they were bad! im philza is a contemporary lyrical masterpiece. but they had a specific purpose and it was to make people laugh and i think this video was completely like. opposite of what peoples expectations are of tommy. the "wow hes not a child anymore hes being mature🤓" reactions are the most obvious aspect of this (which, like, its been a while, get with the program).
i think the point of this was to make something that genuinely meant something but that was also like. as unpalatable to the algorithm and to the TommyInnit Viewer as possible. even now that he's gone into making quieter, more reflective videos, we've never had the flashing texts and the projector images and just all of that. hes always talking about how he hates the way the "youtube formula" has dictated the course of content and stolen all creativity for youtubers. its not meant to be a YouTube Video tm. its just meant to mean something to someone, and obviously process some sort of personal emotions, and i just think thats. yeah. yeah
i mean he even says so outright. "this needless, self indulgent spiral of self gratification" is pretty damn explicit. its not meant to be funny content its really a cry for help or for just. anything at all really
it was also a lot about perception, yknow the "entertainer" dilemma, "its all attention porn"... theres a layer of this point thats universal, everyone struggles with how they're perceived and i think any "artist" or "entertainer" figure can see themselves in it, but there's also a layer thats completely impermeable to most of us because it touches upon the sheer absurdity of a "youtuber". especially one of tommy's popularity. especially one who blew up so so fast so young. i honestly think its IMPOSSIBLE to process that. its about the ethics of having millions of people's time so readily available to you if you just press the right buttons to make the algorithm happy and then you've got them. im like 75% sure i remember him saying this on stream once, something like "your time is valuable" and if a fan didnt value him as an entertainer they should drop him.
and even here^ thats the saddest "lmao" ive seen in my life SORRY LOL but its really just. yeah im not gonna repeat myself it speaks for itself. perception and internet expectations and all that
one of the other images that stuck out to me was also this:
"yeah i know its too much like bo burnham but it wont be in a year though. in a year it will be like tom simons. just let me figure out what that means, ok?"
a lot of the video is about. influences and inspirations. the bo burnham references are so obvious he's poking at them, but i think he's raising a good point about the creativity that he's constantly praising. its never something that springs up on its own, its all about looking at others work and making it your own and feeding yourself with all those experiences and slowly, surely building your own way of doing things (tommyinnit "minecraft talent show" and "a tribute to dream smp" serial quackity + schlatt impersonator would know all about that) ->
and its daunting! its fucking scary to move away from that! which is also the main vibe i got from the video which, outside of his own issues with how he's perceived online, was the sort of existential dread that comes with actually creating. its one thing to preach you need to be passionate and create, its another to sit down and create something thats BY you. its a part of growing up! and we're literally seeing him do it live (well the bits that he chooses to show obviously)! thats also part of why i think tommy's so relatable to so many people is that he's so like. honest and real about what it's like to grow up, simple as that, and growing into yourself.
"this was everything to me" and using the picture of his younger self... man. theres obviously so much sadness underlying the whole thing but i think the nostalgia and melancholy in mourning being someone who was only inspired/excited by your interests and role models is universal. and obviously for tommy a lot of those influences turned out. well i think it was pretty damn clear who/what he was referring to here. ->
i don't think i need to go too in detail about that, especially cause a lot of the video was clearly a way to process his own personal emotions. especially with those next few images. i just hope he's okay and that god doubles his pain and gives it to mr beast to quote my friend bronzetomatoes. man.
of course he had to end with a funny clip about a hot anime girl and i think that kinda. sums it all up in a way. if that makes sense. at the end of the day its about the fact that he has to use humour to make the thing work when its out in the open, even when he tries not to and to be actually honest, but theres also the fact that hes literally a comedian and creating something "honest" IS through humor. its kindof a double edged sword
right well that was my jumbled mess of psychoanalysing tommyinnit i hope he is alright and all that because well that was. something

let's all talk about supernatural. i'll start. in 2009 kim manners told misha collins it was gay to sit on a bed. due to the lack of distance. he was right. and misha collins did it anyway. what followed was 12 years of television subject to different directors writers and actors all with different opinions on the subject of whether or not dean and castiel were gay. because of this rotating list of minds and directions the messages you receive are varied. but crucially. there is groundwork laid in closeups. standing five feet apart in bobby's kitchen filmed as if they're face to face. across the room from each other in tmwwbk but cuts between close up to close up. now you could easily argue that camerawork that rejects this method is trying to convey a different message of less empathy. but. we are not working only with camera work that conveys distance. we're working with a foundation of intimate conversations filmed as intimate closeups . followed by intimate conversations filmed with yards and yards between them. for an amv i was trying to use the s8 talk where cas is sitting on the bed and dean walks over sits down and says talk to me and i eventually had to scrap it because they're never in the same frame. i was going frame by frame in that scene trying to get maybe three seconds where you can see both of them but you never can. in the scene where dean sits a foot away and asks. what's wrong. you can tell me. you can talk to me. and cas proceeds to bare his soul. which is one of two things: bad directing, or purposeful directing. bad directing requires us to operate under the assumption that people who work on supernatural are bad at their jobs (likely). purposeful directing requires us to operate under the assumption that people who work on supernatural are good at their jobs, and given an intimate conversation, looked for ways to dilute the emotion in it, and did so. this is also likely. when supernatural shows me castiel telling dean i love you, and does it with shoddy camerawork, they are practicing tell not show. they are turning to the camera and telling me. this means nothing. disregard this. dont you see how they're a good court length apart from each other. doesn't this distance make you feel like you should interpret this with a platonic lens. but what they are showing me. is castiel telling dean winchester. i love you. which comes across even through the janky disjointed shots. the diluted effect still has an outsized emotional impact. so my takeaway is not. well i guess this means nothing. it is. i see the tricks you are trying to use on me. and they dont work on me because i know how to interpret storytelling and i'm not young and shiny and stupid. my takeaway is . wow. dean and cas., are in love for real, and they put it on my screen, and i am going to plant dynamite in director richard speight's home
