forever obsessed with dynamics between vampires, specifically that of a maker and fledgling, as a way to explore abuse. the creation of a vampire itself can so easily be a literalization of the lasting impacts of trauma and also much more simply the ways a perpetrator might shape their victim’s very identity. the extremes of isolation in the way that the new vampire, in most narratives, must cut all ties to their mortal life, or else go through an elaborate charade to maintain the facade of humanity, while forever still being removed from it. and the sheer dependence and vulnerability of being in an entirely new state of being, wholly uncertain of what it entails, and relying on another person to define… everything.
#or just the moral dilemmas#rewatching amc interview is kind of making me insane#that moment in episode two when louis is looking for a sort of assurance in the fact that lestat may actually have some good in him#look at how he cares about music look at the simple wondrous things that can bring him joy#and then the immediate dread when the opera performance turns out to be imperfect because he knows how lestat will react to *that*#I think there’s also something really interesting in the highlighting of lestat upbraids the less skilled singer before killing him#(slowly)#but also I will wait to watch more before I articulate my thoughts#vampires#interview with the vampire#amc interview with the vampire#i ramble sometimes#I do still find the lestat and claudia film and novel dynamic by far the most compelling for how she tries to usurp him but almost to be him#but I’m enjoying this#I’m very curious if I will like show claudia more on rewatch#the movie always resonated most with me (sue me lol) because there seemed to be more simultaneous fondness and attachment even at the end

Showing my roommate Alien for the first time
Him: This is sooo like Prometheus
Me: Wait you've seen Prometheus but not Alien????
Him: No, I just was trying to think of something dumb to say that would annoy you lol
Me: OK GOOD cause as I said before, no judgment from me for not having seen Alien, but if you'd seen Prometheus but not Alien, then we might have a problem
*15 minutes later*
Him: Wow ok that ship does kinda look like the stuff in the Prometheus trailer though
Me: I mean yeah that makes sense
Him: Wait Prometheus is part of the Alien series?
Me: WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING RIGHT NOW
#as with almost every perfect movie I've shown my roommate#his reaction was a really noncommittal “that was a fun time”#Like not a negative reaction#but not by any stretch of the imagination an enthusiastic one#He and another friend of mine are both people I show a lot of movies to#and I LIKE to think I base those movies off of the sorts of things I know they like#and they are usually movies most people agree are very very good#and I am repeatedly met with lukewarm reactions that make me think#“WHAT DO YOU LIKE IF NOT THIS? IF YOU LIKE THIS GENRE HOW DO YOU NOT LIKE THIS???”#admittedly I wasn't sure Alien specifically was gonna be 100% his type of thing#but when Alien came up in conversation the other day he got SO apologetic that he hadn't seen it#which he does any time any piece of media that's extremely famous that he hasn't seen is mentioned#and he was like I KNOW I should see it#and I was like I'd watch it any time#but I also tried to tell him like 30 times that if it isn't a movie he wanted to see#or actually thought he would like#then we shouldn't watch it#the problem is any time someone mentions anything they like#or extend any sort of offer to show him something they like#it seems to be a matter of principal to him that he MUST consume the recommended media#regardless of whether it's his thing#alien 1979#Alien#Prometheus

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.

see you could say as much as you like that luffys dream isn't gonna be heroic bc he's not a hero or w/e. but luffy always does heroic shit Constantly. even if he wouldn't consider it heroic himself it's probably going to be some incredibly admirable shit. you can't take luffy at face value when he says that like. just look at him. boy's a hero innit
#i imagine the dream has smth to do with ushering in a new age. likely one of freedom. or like pirates which = freedom to him#and then you could be like “oh well not everyone will Like freedom” and thats why its Not Heroic#cuz he tells uta he's gonna bring forth a new generation at one point. in a filler episode for the movie but. that does seem significant#one piece#monkey d. luffy#i think people tend to take the “he's a pirate” thing too far#like yes he is a pirate. and also yes he is a very good boy. and he does heroic things all the time. those are not mutually exclusive#he's not The Kind Of Hero That Is Self Sacrificing specifically. but like. he is a hero. just like if you look at what he does. he is.#and like saying he's not a good boy bc hes a pirate is like. come on. are you watching the show#luffy's goodness is intrinsic to the show. it drives forward the plot constantly#luffy would not get as much support from ppl around him if he was not good!!! everyone helps him because he's good!!!#and he constantly wants to help people!! and fights to make their lives better!!! because he's good!!!!!!!!!!

i lied i did watch the oscars
#came into it an hour in bc i forgot they started an hour early#frustrating and alluring as always. the in memoriam part was filmed so bad like just show us the scream damn!#as much as i bitch about the current state of movies damn if the oscars dont get me every time. i want to be at that silly podium#anyway. other thoughts abt the evening#swann arlaud people i get it now. i get it .#they should have given that dog from anatomy of a fall an award too idc that the dog wasnt nominated#al pacinos fucken delivery was hysterical i love the new yorker drawing that had him like a fortune teller saying 'i see oppenheimer'#robert de niro apparently not having a good time it seemed. annette bening slayed w those glasses#oh bc im a movie nerd i of course fill out my own little ballot and somehow miraculously got 11 right (beat my dad who had 7)#my strategy is i pick the people i want to win which usually has me getting very few right#oh loved the 0.3 second glimpse of willem in the audience! love him. his crazy makeup in poor things won them that award#trust that if and when i get to the oscars sometime in the future ill be liveblogging it. i promise#EDITED TAGS the SCREEN of the in memoriam not the scream. sorry

NEW GREAT PRETENDER MOVIE IS SO GOOD BTW.
#i have so many thoughts#i really enjoyed all the new characters!!#i usually dont like it when shows bring back characters that are supposed to be dead but they did it pretty well#dorothy doesnt remember anything from before and she is just living her own life#and the story is about Her first and foremost even if Laurent had his grubby hands all over the case#laurent really has grown a lot in the time since becuase hes keeping his distance he knows he shouldnt be anywhere near the case#and i understand him at the end when hes talking to her at the station. its very clearly a goodbye for him#hes letting go and letting them both go their separate ways#i also really like how unclear edamura's status with the crew is#hes clearly still friends with abby but he doesnt seem to have anything to do with the case#which is so good for him after the shit he went through im glad he actually said no and left#but he still keeps in contact with abby which makes me happy :)#also i did catch the cynthia name drop from i think the like cartel members?? made me gasp#SO SAD we didnt get to see her or abby :(#other notes the lady with the african restaurant was a delight i loved her#ALSO I SWEAR THEY MADE EDAMURA MORE TAN. HELL YEAH#grepre#great pretender#great pretender movie#great pretender movie spoilers

😒😒😒😒 i understand all of the bitter samgirls...
#sam *does* have a lot of great storylines in the later seasons???#idk what you wanna define as late seasons but s6 onwards had a LOT of great sam moments#soulless? hallucifer???? trials???? gadreel??? maybe he has to go back to the cage??? dying and being brought back by lucifer in apocalypse#like wtf did dean and cas do in season 8?? i dont fucking remember#also i think the people who criticise jared for how he acted in the bloopers are stupid.#the spn bloopers were insanely popular#to the point i saw more of the bloopers than clips of the show before i watched it#the bloopers were a part of the job!!!!!#goofing so they had stuff for them was probably required#and if jared was such a nightmare on set then why didnt they cut down on how much jared was shooting??#im pretty sure j2 asked to film less for the later seasons and they said no??? correct me if im wrong#also jared is a good actor?? im not really sure why so many people seem convinced that hes the weakest member of the cast#cuz misha and jensens rough moments are so much rougher to me#have you ever seen my bloody valentine??? girllllll jensen is not good in that movie <3 but god bless him for trying#and all of the dean and jacks storylines were copies of sams why would they have him do that twice?#i sound very bitter but i just dont think theres a big conspiracy#sam had tons of huge moments in the later seasons and dean did a few big arcs cuz sam already did some(and they were better) its that simpl

why does William continue insisting that Eliza should just settle down and forget the detective business and STOP undermining him and going against his order and DEFINITELY STOP jumping in the middle of his cases (particularly ones where she's used some unscrupulous means to get in the middle of them), when almost every time she does something incredibly cool (sometimes actually saving his life at the same time), and the camera immediately flashes to his face wherein can be seen a mixture of general annoyance + a very distinct oh snap that's really hot
#like. he pretends that he doesn't like it!!! what is UP with that man!!!#he acts like he thinks it's unseemly and inappropriate for her to behave this way when he CLEARLY actually finds very attractive#it's kind of funny to me but also kind of odd because he continues insisting that this is no way for a lady to behave#and 'wouldn't you like to settle down and have a family sometime eliza?' 'wouldn't you like to be a normal woman?'#and it apparently just hasn't occurred to him that the reason he loves her is BECAUSE of these tendencies towards disruption and disorder#he seems to want to quash??#I'm sure there's a good reason for this I just need to sit and think about it for a bit#I think it has to do with him caring too much what society and his superiors think of him (and her by extension)#but instead of continuing to dwell on this I am chugging right along to the next episode#(oh and I am pleased to reveal that between this show and Tenet with Lu last night#I finished the hand-sewing project I was working on!! :D#now I am back to the never-ending job of weaving in the ends of my Fourth Doctor scarf#which is the project I fall back on whenever I run out of other things to do whilst watching movies lol)#miss scarlet and the duke#gurt says stuff

inside out 2 is interesting but it sure is the exact same plot as inside out 1 down to the emotions getting stranded outside hq as a core aspect of rileys isbeliminated and having to start from scratch while joy loses hope and cries while watching memories in a pile of memories that were deemed unimportant before being deus ex machinad by an imaginary cartoon
#inside out 2 spoilers#except joy has not learned her lesson about all emotions and memories being valuable and that she is not in charge#of making the call of which emotions are important. she builds her team up by emphasizing the good they do for riley#and continues to be an absolute control freak who puts an emphasis on her own importance seeming to have learned very little#some could argue that the emotions arent distinct enough or are even too nebulous to be their own emotions#and according to many theories in the subject all emotions come from combining multiple of the core emotions#which is why having nostalgia show up for a gag was... interesting. considering the first movie literally showed us joy and sadness memorie#create nostalgic ones. otherwise i mostly just feel like theyre too disparate and am still shocked how joy is like. the only positive#emotion. period.#anyway yeah it kinda underminded the first movies thesis that all emotions are important and helpful by making anxiety basically plain bad#even despite her explanations of why shes good. like she drops her memory in the sense of self and it immediately sprouts ominously#like idk maybe im just quibbling over foreshadowing in a childrens movie but to keep in line with that original thesis#wouldnt it make more sense to get more corrupt only as anxiety continues to flood it with only her emotion#like basing your entire sense of self and personality/beliefs around one emotion entirely is extremely unhealthy#and like it starts normal and gets more erratic as anxiety becomes the ONLY contributing factor. its probably not that important#okay so joy learns her lesson about the memories. but its still like. girl did you not already basically learn this before

Soooo after I reblogged some of OSP's JttW content, I get the Lego Monkie Kid recommended posts and blogs thrown at me every 4 minutes on my dash. Fiiiine, I went to check out the pilot.
And ok.
Tumblr was right.
The pilot episode is hilarious and the animation ABSOLUTELY SLAPS. I keep rewinding because there are so many good gags happening in the background, or just because the animation was so pretty I wanted to see it thrice. This is like a crackfic with the production value of movie theater animated blockbusters.
#the horsedragon is an unhinged girl????? YES THANK YOU#get yourself a friend willing to happily blow up your enemies' houses#frankly everyone seems a bit unhinged. except the noodle obsessed guy who I assume is Tripitaka because boy has no money for noodles#sure yes I know it's not literally Tripitaka but a thematically relevant character archetype but still. I like his energy here#the only thing better than a totally chaotic group is a totally chaotic group with that one chill guy who goes along with it#I have to say it's beautiful living in times where shows marketed for kids can be so carefully crafted#I've never seen any lego stuff before except the Everything Is Awesome movie thing so this was a very pleasant surprise#I remember stuff I watched as a child and... yeah nothing I watched was as high quality as this until I was a teen.#sure I still don't know how good the plot will be but I'm definitely going to watch more.#either this will be light entertainment after a stressful day or I'll be pleasantly surprised by the storyline. either way worth seeing#lmk#lego monkie kid

watched nimona. it was ok.
#(i'm very mean in the tags sorry :()#i havent seen the comic so my criticism is purely of the movie.#idk just kind of a mid kids movie. balister is very cute i liked him.#nimona......i want to like her but idk. i think her backstory should've had more attention put towards it. more hints about it#instead of the really abrupt scene near the end that explains everything. that was stupid.#(honestly better yet don't show anything have a big heartfelt outburst where she half explains what happens#(gross crying optional but preferred)#and leaves the rest to the audiences imagination. maybe a scene with voiceover that doesn't quite reveal everything)#the setting is pretty cool. story didn't make much sense to me.#''the wall is there to protect us against monsters!!'' but there's literally only one monster and it's nimona.#which could have been ok if the movie had been...better written i guess??#like do the guards just sit around doing nothing. is it a police state?? i mean obviously they're cops but. they don't do anything.#they aren't even shown to be especially bad or anything just incredibly incompetent#uhhh the romance is cute. it's nice. i wish it was more fraught and bitter.#the passage of time isn't clear it seems like it happens over the course of like a day???#balister learning to accept nimona was clumsy and rushed#the message of the film is nice. would be better if the movie was good.#i think the movie could've been longer and it would've fixed most of these things#i REALLY liked the animation though. the eyes being permanantly dilated was ehhh but forgivable on account of balister being very cute.

Happy Queer Media Monday!
Today: Paradise Lost (2018)
Most beautiful movie I’ve seen since The Blue Caftan.
(Picture taken from Netflix, because Google didn’t give me a lot to work with. This is Imã, in one of his performance costumes.)
Police officer Odair randomly ends up at a small bar called Paradise Lost, run by a family. The grandfather hires him as a bodyguard for Imã, his very effeminate (and gay) grandson, who runs a certain risk of getting hatecrimed. As he spends more time at the bar, Odair grows close to the different family members, who all have their own battles to fight, and discovers something about them that will also affect his own life.
This movie was SO BEAUTIFUL, I’m still not over it half a week after I watched it. The story is wonderfully human, but it’s the execution that makes it special. The way it’s shot is gorgeous, with some very good frames and great use of color. Then there is the music. The entire movie is carried by the songs sung by the different family members, which for one is good to listen to, but also adds so much intimacy to the whole thing.
If I find more movies like this and The Blue Caftan (2022) (another one so beautiful that I’m still not over it), I will have to make a separate category somewhere for “queer movies that are just too beautiful, in a very bittersweet way”.
Watch it. It’s on Netflix and Mubi. Also, here is the IMBD link.
Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!
#see this is art#looks like everyone was making amazing movies except for Hollywood....#based not just on this#but on a bunch of non-Hollywood movies I've seen lately from various countries#pretty much all of which had something very special going for them#The Blue Caftan and this one stand out by being too dang good though#so yeah GREAT movie#doesn't seem to be too well-known though#based on the lack of results when I googled it#it was basically just links to Netflix#also nothing in the image search#I'd bet that Netflix doesn't really show it either huh#Paradise Lost (2018)#Paraíso Perdido (2018)#queer movies#Brazilian Movies#Movie Recommendation#Queer Media Monday

Idk why this struck me as “cute” or like “heartwarming” but there’s just something about Dan writing a song about a dead girl from a TV show, and making it sound like this very bombastic spectacle
yeah i know what you mean. it's the unashamedly indulging in something you love just for the love of it babyyyy. like ig he literally wrote that song cause he loves that show so much and that is actually v beautiful imo
#ask#anon#bastille#kind of off topic but i had the same thing at comic con#like my heart was so full during the cosplay masquerade and i said to my friend#like everyone here has put in so much effort and time and money to their costumes and perfomances#and the only motivation is loving a character/show/anime/movie/costume etc so much that they decide to do that#like not to be fake deep but i think theres so much societal pressure to put all your energy into getting more money/love/sex#to spend your time indulging in your niche little interests that may seem weird or insignificant to other people#is actually very beautiful#also i like his little bit he does on tour like 'hopefully this is the best song about a dead girl from the 90s you hear all evening'#like yes king ur right that was a good one lol
