Sometimes I think about how the turtles are just kids, y’know? Just kids and yet it’s up to them to save people, save New York, save the world.

It’s honestly really sad. They were created to be soldiers and while they chose to protect rather than destroy, they remain soldiers all the same.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #it’s morbidly funny how the movie tries to push the whole idea of responsibility and heroism on Leo and the audience but uh #that’s a sixteen year old #and Raph is only seventeen #these kids became vigilantes for FUN and now it’s a responsibility all of a sudden like bro #it’s very heartbreaking to witness a childhood cut short #the boys are GOOD at heroism and being ninjas and saving people #but it leaves a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth when a kid acting like a kid instead of a Hero is presented as a bad thing #it’s why I was so happy to see Raph get to join in on the pizza stack competition at the end of the movie #but at the end we already see Leo much more mature in comparison and #I can’t help but feel sad about it

thinks about bakudeku and falls to the floor

#i still can't believe we won so hard guys 😭#all of the canon manga/movie/light novel moments #then it was revealed that bkg lead the funding for the project that would give izk his dream back.... uagh. augh. ough even.#he calls izk deku at the end but not as an insult he calls him that bc that's his HERO NAME #IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT IZUKU AND KATSUKI #FALLS TO THE FLOOR #sorry i'm insane they make me want to eat glass in a good way #bnha spoilers #mha spoilers #bkdk #bakudeku #ktdk #katsudeku #i personally think that bakugou katsuki is one of the best written shounen characters Ever and i will listen to no other opinions thank you #edit can i just mention the fact that aizawa said bkg would drop in rankings again for being rude to someone #bkg. man who very loudly proclaimed that he would be the number one hero throughout his teenage years #did not care that he would drop in hero rankings. or else he would not yell at people in public LMAO #HE DOES NOT GAF UNLESS IZUKU IS THERE COMPETING WITH HIM

Deku "can't forgive" Shigaraki/Tenko for all he's done and needed to stop his cycle of sadness? And this is him being heroic?

Well, I think it's only fair that the Villains never forgive Hero society for managing to produce a dipshit like Deku.

#for failing to stop hate crimes against children #for failing to provide a good life for orphaned 16 year old Jin #for creating quirk counseling #for letting quirk marriages happen #for the extrajudicial murders #for letting official Hero shelters discriminate and turn people out into the streets during a national crisis #for creating the hellhole that is Tartarus and staffed by wardens who don't see the inmates as human #for knowing about domestic violence and shrugging #for arresting a hostage victim #for making it acceptable for a news reporter to cut off his horn to do his job better #for letting someone be born in a public toilet (this is nine from the movies but i'm counting it)#nalslastworkingbraincell

I think some part of me will always be that kid walking out of a huge movie theater into a grey overcast afternoon not realizing her world was about to be permanently changed but feeling changed already herself by the animated Disney film she'd just seen that she would spend a year acting like she was too cool to be affected by, even though she'd never cried at a movie before that and and the cries from the speakers were still ringing in her ears on that cold, overcast afternoon, right before her world changed

#so I saw big hero 6 when it was first in theaters but not at my hometown theater bc we'd been visiting several hours away #and decided to see the showing at the movie theater in that bigger city while we were up there #it was the first movie I'd ever cried at and I pretended to be too cool for school even though I knew #even at 12 years old #that that movie had deeply affected me #i will not bring this anecdote back around to where you all probably assume it's going bc for once that isn't the point #the point is. it changed me and I think there's a part of me that is still in that wet chilly damp parking lot #walking out of the regal theater in fairbanks alaska #this is definitely inspired by Eden's batman 2020 post btw I just. some things stay with you or you leave a piece behind #and that can in many ways be good #Lu rambles

The Aftermath (1982)

"What happens when you die?"

"I don't know, son. No one does."

"It's sad to die."

"No. Death isn't sad. We all have to die. What's sad is having to go on without someone you love. Just as we have to go on now."

#the aftermath #1982 #video nasty #horror imagery #steve barkett #stanley livingston #post apocalyptic film #horror film #american cinema #lynne margulies #sid haig #christopher barkett #alfie martin #forrest j. ackerman #jim danforth #linda stiegler #laura anne barkett #larry latham #carole scott #nelson ackerman #john w. morgan #incredibly dumb passion project from writer‚ director and star Barkett; he spent years getting this made‚ burning through investors and #deals whilst trying to maintain the integrity of his vision (his silly‚ silly vision). to be clear‚ this is a lot of fun to watch but not #all of that fun is intentional; the back third of this movie contains a shootout so absurdly long‚ so gratuitously violent (and with a #preposterous location change from the desert to some ruined city skyscraper tops) that it beggars belief. likewise Barkett's self insertion #as the Ultimate Action Man Hero who by the end of the film comes to resemble more of a post apocalyptic christlike figure of spiritual #salvation. it's a dumb film is what I'm saying‚ but Sid Haig is there and it all looks unreasonably good and the matte paintings are weirdl #excellent (and the fx are solid too‚ model spaceships aside). ridiculous stuff but made with clear love and self belief #in such a way that it can only end up being endearing. a pleasant surprise in my deep dive into the more obscure nasties #it's been a rough ride recently but a few more brain numbing entries like this and I'll be back on board

well that was….. A Movie

#i have too many thoughts. unfortunately #its kinda hard to see this so long after it came out bc the humor feels soooo mid 2010’s and its debatable how well its aged #all i know is personally i feel like the dc mvoie #*dc movies have done a better job in recent years doing this specific r rated humor focused anti hero stuff #also like i for one love a comedy and love things having a humorous streak #but this is like a really standard grey action #*movie but then it puts all the humor on one character and that doesnt worklike at all lmao #like the really good parts are when hes with the other 2 funny characters (the bartender and the old lady)#they also like didnt do enough at all with lampooning superhero tropes? like at all???#it would have been so easy to have a standard superhero #movie but just lampoon it the whole time and instead they just… had that movie and like idk #fmcndkfndk like???#one of the few saving graces was in universe acknowledging that deadpool is annoying lol #but yeah generally it had a lot of ELEMENTS of good stuff just. not mixed well together #this truly is the granddaddy of reddit movie tho #like its not le epic win bacon bc thats more early 2010.#this is like. those milennial cookbooks that are hiphopified by just adding swear words. for some reason #torn bc i feel like i should judge ppl for this being so popular but im like not surprised that it would have mass appeal #on the surface i get the appeal of ‘a superhero BUT HE CURSES OOOOH’ and just generally taking things less seriously #it just sucks that the entire rest of the movie takes itself perfectly seriously #but not enough to have weird little annoying plot holes #also cant rly judge the guy who said he loved these movies hes a nerdy 38 yr old mild mannered white man. this was made for him.#this is elder milennial dadsk Wells For Boys

the sonic movies are fun but if they turn this into a fucked up cinematic universe im going to sink my claws into something. do not force me to Consume a million miniseries and spin-offs just so i can understand the plot of a single movie. do not ruin this for me

#soda offers you a can #look. early 2000s sonic games all tie into a larger narrative. but with the exception of shth you don't Need to play all of them #you can pick up sa2 and enjoy it on its own without sa1. you can pick up heroes and enjoy it one its own. same for 06 #shth rides on you knowing what happened in sa2 and a bit about heroes but it's a very exceptional game in many ways anyway #so it gets a pass. it's spiders george and we can have one of those #point being that i don't want these movies to become an impenetrable wall of lore #where you have to watch everything tangentially related to them to get the full experience #miniseries and shit are fine but i don't want to be required to Consume Consume Consume if i want to enjoy One Movie once every 3-5 years #without feeling like im missing key details and elements and shit #sorry i just thought about marvel for a bit and turned into a feral animal im good now

2023 is not my year 99% of the time, but it is my year for movies. The dnd movie, across the spiderverse, Barbie, fnaf, the movie industry is finally feeding a hungry watcher after years.

#movies #dnd movie #atsv #barbie movie #fnaf movie #I'm actually begging people to go to the theater with me again for the first time in years #I WANT to go to the theater for the first time in years #the joy of watching with others has returned for the first time in forever #I think the last time I was begging to go to the theater was going to see big hero six when it first came out in theaters #I watched that shit front row opening night at my fav theater in a packed room and SOBBED it was so good #and now I'm hyped as HELL for all these upcoming movies #my family is sick of me #kelpie rambles

Officially a month since I saw the movie and I'm still not over it and neither can I go watch it again. It's still running in theatres near me but the cons of being the only cinephile in the household 😮‍💨

Anywho, what I wanted to say was that I'm still very much in the movie hangover. November 2nd come fast, I wanna rewatch the movie again. And again and again.

#jawan #also why do people hate fun #you'll see others enjoying having fun watching their little movie and throw tantrums that it's not a good movie #movies are not universal entertainers #they just can't be #so why waste your breath in something that you know you won't like #go touch some grass #specifically the self proclaimed cinephiles #not every movie has to be about a specific message and be bland #they can have their messages and have their hero lighting cigars off friction #a man can be a megastar and be a good actor simultaneously #and he has his own choices #what's not clicking in this year of 2023

with the rising fascism in the world, im not gonna trust any new medias with stories that make the villain an agent of chaos & terror while the hero/es fight to preserve the status quo.

#after 9/11 there was a rise in childrens media where this was exactly the case #a foreign threat to peace that must be eliminated #and sure there were a lot of good stories made with that format. doesnt erase the true intent being the message.#and now theres come a rise of stories with empires and dictators as villains who are destroyed by rebellions #a good example of the stories about preserving the status quo are literally all of the marvel movies #thats why ragnarok was breath of fresh air. they didnt preserve the legacy of someone who destroyed thousands in the name of 'keeping peace #odin's legacy was burned to ash and thor put his people first.#another example is HP. even the newest stories set hundreds of years in the past still aim to preserve the status quo #and make the oppressed trying to fight back into villains by giving them really good points and then making them into murderers #a good example of a story that does the OPPOSITE is the owl house. god that show was so perfect.#just the subtle touch of luz's magic not having a white core like belos's in the end was so perfect.#making her final most powerful form look like a stereotypical villain with the black eyes and clothes and her dark magic??#her palisman being able to shapeshift into stereotypically feared animals like spiders scorpions snakes and bats??#the fact that she looked like a demon while belos was pretending to be carrying out the will of his god? that he was on some holy crusade?#belos believing himself to be the hero of the story even to the bitter end because he couldnt imagine that people he considers subhuman #had any right to life. that they werent just pests to be crushed in the name of his god. and in the end he was the one crushed like a bug.#so good. so good. so good. dana terrace i am kissing you #i like the owl house more than i like gravity falls and BOY is that saying something #krav talks

did I almost cry while watching Gran Turismo tonight? maybe!

#apparently I'm not immune to the effects of playing forza with my brother for years and also watching him play it #this movie scratched that love of racing itch #nor am I immune to the effects of underdog stories (love to see a man chase after his dreams) and hero-mentor relationships #I love it when the hero's in danger and the mentor just loses his cool and goes absolutely wild #also the soundtrack slapped #such a good movie #earl crow ramblings

I feel like Avatar is that film that everyone goes to watch without telling anyone they're gonna go watch it
