#we dont need remakes at all

[scarlct-vvitch]

if i start talking shit abt how bad that little mermaid remake looks pls know its not about ariel herself and instead the fact that all of these remakes look like soulless bullshit

I already rewrote Queen Christina as a lesbian political drama in my head...and now I can't can't get the idea of a queer golden age of cinema out of my head.

[hermitcraftx]

just got a dm abt one of my posts and y'all please don't try and show the hermits (or any minecraft youtuber or content creator for that matter) my posts, i'm uncomfortable with it and don't want any of my posts shown to a cc. if they stumble upon it naturally that's unfortunate but i can live with it since i do maintag a lot (something i REALLY need to stop doing tbh i already know i need to make a tagging system just for my blog that wont clog results) but going out of ur way to show a cc is entirely different and something i am not comfortable with.

no hate to the person at all but even if i wasn't a little silly and weird with it sometimes i wouldn't be comfortable with it, i want my blog to be a purely fandom only space with none of the creators involved <3 please respect this

I'm so tired of shows that absolutely ignore the source material and feel like they straight up don't understand what's important about it, just make a different show why even bother at this point.

my biggest dissonance is how robert de niro in once upon a time in america actually looks like young carlo (but more handsome than carlo) but noodles character is nothing like him like max is a certifed carlo core. he would do everything max did

My hottest goofiest most tumblr brain take is that genuinely most if not all media would be better if it was animated

Hello !

I saw the ask you got about drama and copyright issues and maybe me feeling dismissive about drama stems from me just having being involved in theatre for years ??? I think casting is bound to cause some drama in the short term but i dont think anything long term will stem from it

Maybe its me being hopeful and having faith that the fandom based around a musical will be understanding of and respectful towards whatever casting decisions are made seeing as thats kinda just what happens in theatre????? Sometimes you dont get the part you want (if you even get cast at all) and it kinda sucks! But there will always be another opportunity. Shows will be put on again, and you never only have just one chance. Sure not getting the part you want is never and its okay to be sad about it, but sometimes someone else just fits the role better and theres not much that can really be done there. Id like to hope that everyone auditioning goes into it w an open mindset and will take whatever part they get w grace and treat casting like they would casting in a more traditional production (<- is a person who hasnt been active in online musical spaces in a few years. Take my words w a grain of salt i might not know what im talking about here)

If it does genuinely end up being a big issue though, maybe we could do smth w a cast a and a cast b ??? So that way more people get a chance to play a major character. It would be a lot more work as far as audio editing goes, but if theres enough of a want for it a second cast isnt impossible or anything. Itd honestly just take a bit more time to get out

As far as copyright goes thats! Iffier. Its weird and its wonky and itd be a bit of a pain but there are ways to deal w it

The easiest and simplest option is to only have the final version available to those who worked on it directly. No promotion, no making it public, just a fun thing for everyone who worked on it (and maybe their friends), and thats it. Itd be unfortunate to make a project like this so limited, but its the legal option that requires the least amount of effort 😔✌️

The other option would be to obtain the rights to put on the musical. I was curious about how much it would cost and after finding the copyright holders and filling out their mock form, it would come out to about 275 USD ????? Which is a lot! Thats a lot of money to pay out of pocket for a project that likely wont be monetized at all!

But, having said that, 275 starts to feel a lot smaller when you take into consideration how many people are interested in taking part. I think you mentioned about 30 or so people filling out the form??? If those 30 people individually contributed 10 USD (which is smth ive actually seen mandatory for a lot of non profit theatre companies and school shows) we would have some money left over even

275 is really only a lot if its just one person paying for it. I do 100% realize that having a cost would probably change this project a bit just by nature of real life money being involved, but i do still want to point out that its an option if youre willing to take it. Also i want to mention that the mock form said real prices might not be reflected. They didnt have an option for digital shows for where itd be put on, so if location impacts it at all 275 probably wont be the final cost 💔💔 (id like to hope the final cost would be lower though since it does assume the show in question is a more traditional in person show :') )

Also actually now that im thinking about it theres a secret third option which would be to combine the two???? Start out w it being just for everyone who worked on it but then put out a little interest check and fundraiser to see how many people would be interested in buying it. Kinda like what some physical print zines do but just w a musical instead! It would require putting a paywall on the final show which would also be kinda super unfortunate and a massive shame, but if enough people are interested its another way to deal w the licensing fees. Also if the project gets more money than the licensing costs maybe the leftovers could be donated or smth. Idk

Copyright is to me a much bigger issue than casting drama could ever be just bc of the legal issues it could bring up, but there are still definitely definitely ways to get around and deal w them ( ^^)b

(Btw @ the anon who kinda got me thinking about this and led me to send an ask in response, this is nothing against you !! I genuinely think bringing up copyright and potential dramas is a good thing to do especially so early on into a project like this. And running into copyright issues specifically could kill this project faster than anything else could tysm for bring that up genuinely :')

Also op sorry for such a long ask orz )

yeah casting will definitely raise some issues but there are after all only 8 major roles, you said it better than i ever will sjdjgkl also this is literally my first online musical space i got into bmc in like MARCH what am i doing

i actually have been thinking about doing an act 1 cast and an act 2 cast, but thats gonna raise the issue of finding two people with similar voices for one character so its not too jarring. we could totally do it but thats just more work for the casting people i feel. i mean if theyre up for it we could, again we'll just wait and see. there probably would be understudies too, and ive been thinking about having multiple voices for small sections of people who were squipped, like rich in the squip song, or jenna and christine in pitiful children/the play, even the creepy stock guy. there will be one "main" actor but maybe understudies will do underlying voices. will be a little more work for the editors so again we'll see

COPYRIGHT here we go. i really dont want to limit this project so the only option would be to pay. i did a tiny bit of googling and "Section 107 of the Copyright Act provides the statutory framework for determining whether something is a fair use and identifies certain types of uses—such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research—as examples of activities that may qualify as fair use." now if we were doing like one song then that would be fine, but we're attempting to remake the WHOLE THING, so i really think we might have to buy the rights which hm. wow.

i dont know if people are willing to pay 275 dollars for something that might not even succeed, so i think if we go through with this then we work on it first and see our progress. if it looks like we might succeed in actually doing the whole thing then we'll set up a thing for people to donate. to my understanding as long as we buy the rights we can release it to the public?? so as long as we get the 275 dollars we can release it, so it wont be only limited to the people who paid. but if we dont get enough then idk what to do with the money. maybe donate it or just wait until we hit 275. or we set a price and give it to the people who paid, sorta like a vip subscription or something

i actually have SIXTY RESPONSES as of now and its been at 60 for a while so if everyone gives 5 usd then we would have more than enough. ofc not everyone would be willing to pay tho so its really a gamble. i checked out the mock form too and are we even able to buy them if we're producing it digitally?? all that about ticket fees and average attendance if we cant even get the rights then theres no way we can release it to the public

im ngl i dont think i can do the actual licensing so we might need someone to handle finances specifically. also im not even a legal adult i really dont know if i should 💀💀 we gotta find someone responsible

YES everybody say thank you to anon for bringing problems up it would be bad if everyone got hyped only to realize we cant even do it

ALL AUDITIONS OPEN JUNE 10TH REGARDLESS OF IF YOU GET CONDUCTING VIDEOS WE'RE ALMOST THERE YALL

[claitea]

instead of bw remakes or bw3 what about a game set between 1 and 2 where you play as N travelling around after running away. get some insight on what he was doing for 2 years. fly around on the legendary dragon like koraidon/miraidon

[beckybarnes]

Idc how much it’s hated so far just from the trailer I still wanna watch the Mean Girls movie-musical when it comes out

[perenlop]

on the rare very very rare off chance we get pmd news in the rumored pokemon presents stream, god i hope its not a pmd2 remake or a pmd mobile game

[gravityqueen]

i really dont know why re3r did this

[verflares]

a little more than halfway through it by now so heres some (long) more persona 3 thoughts. not spoiler-free btw

i'm having a pretty good time with it, though i am a little disappointed that all the 'new' stuff pretty much goes as far as new hangouts with the guys and a couple of new scenes and mechanics introduced for gameplay purposes. it's not as if these new things are bad, far from it! i've pretty much enjoyed every new hangout, especially shinjiro's and ken's.

but it's also so.... Weird . i don't know how to explain it, but stuff like this feels designed for people who played the og game. i feel like part of what made shinjiros circumstances in the og so shocking was Not knowing he was going to die, no matter what - and even then, i feel like p3 places a pretty heavy emphasis on why giving up on yourself and the idea that things will never get better Isn't the right thing. i liked all of shinjiros little hangouts + the little september questline for him, but it also feels so. heavy-handed LMAO, i guess you could argue the og made no secrets of it either, especially if you were playing femc in p3p (though i would also argue femc was for people who'd already played the game), but idk.....

i guess there's an expectation in video games these days that remakes are just as much for the og fans as well as the new ones, but i can't help but wonder how much i would enjoy some of this content had i not already been so familiar with the game... this is smth that bothers me abt other games as well, especially ff7r since i like the og ff7 so much, and it's smth i havent really been able to totally decide on how to feel. i guess the original will always be there for that reason but... graaaaaa its mostly preferential and something best saved for a totally different and unrelated post

anyway despite gripes like this, gameplay-wise its still fun. i've mostly knocked out most of the Bad/mid slinks so i can focus more on the ones that actually Hit, and the dungeon-crawling itself has always been fun, even moreso now with all the innovations they've made in 15 years LMAO

this is basically what i expected so i can't be too mad i guess, og persona 3 is good so of course the remake would be solid if nothing else. but still, with something as successful as this series and how long this remake has been anticipated, i guess i can't help but wish there was a bit more here. its the same areas, its the same slinks (minus improvements like not automatically dating the girls. lmao), its the same story. if nothing else, its a Good story, but. ah well

[baekuras]

Anyhow I need a whole separate DLC or game of just the shooting range mini game including characters sitting at the barrel & giving commentary (bonus points if there can be multiple so there is also extra banter in the background as I lose my mind trying to switch between weapons and finding the ONE pirate I kept missing APPARENTLY)
