the daughter in leave the world behind (2023) only caring about getting to see what happens to the characters on the final episode of her fave show… that’d also be me while the world is ending

But we’re not in a sequel. Because nobody just makes sequels anymore. We’re in a franchise!

I have conflicted feelings about the FNAF series in general, but seeing a movie where practical animatronic puppets are the primary focus of the film becoming not only financially successful but also well received by general audiences is pretty damn neat.

#five nights at freddy's #fnaf #fnaf movie #jim henson #halloween #the animatronics look genuinely so good #not only are they extremely faithful to the video game designs #but they also have such a great range of emotion and expression #the horror aspect of them isn’t overstated too much either #like so many horror puppets especially in the 2000s/2010s were very… in your face about the fact they were horror monster #like with a lot of grime and low saturated palettes and such #Idk I think horror puppets are better when they look kinda superficially not scary until they’re placed in the right context #like it would’ve been very easy to make the fnaf animatrocis look quote on quote realistic and grimy and obviously unsubtly horror-y #but they actually look like kids animatronics #like there are creepy aspects #like how tall they are or thier uncanny animatronic movements #but for the most part they literally do just look like chuck e cheese esque animatronics #thier creepiness has actual subtly #they’re endearing when they want to be and terrifying when they need to be #just very solid designs overal

watched brokeback mountain yesterday.... mid as fuck. i think it wouldve played out a lot better if the main characters were yuri and jimmy from yarichin bitch club. do u see my vision?

#brokeback mountain #yarichin bitch club #yarichin b club #toru fujisaki #yuri ayato #ybc #ybc jimmy #yuritoru #idk their fuckin ship name #im a gay male im allowed to say brokeback mountain actually fucking sucks #i get what its doing yknow time period repression tragedy wrong time wrong place BUT GODDD I JUST DONT CARE #I DONT CARE IT SUCKS AND CHEATING TURNS ME OFF SO BAD #its like good in a technical skill way okay its a well made movie but my enjoyment was a solid 2/10 i could only watch it wif my friends #main way this could be improved is if the main characters were jimmy and yuri #if yuri and jimmy were doing this shit.... lets just say they wouldnt be hatecrimed to death for being gay #theyd be begged to leave town purely bc theyre both batshit insane and jimmy would accidentally kill 17 people via homemade cookie poisoning #draws #**obama voice** just to be queer. i traced over screenshots for this shitpost. that is all

i've been rotating the "this doesn't make any sense!" response to boy and the heron in my head and i wonder how much of it comes down to like...the kind of audience that engages with ghibli movies vs the kind of audience that mostly only engages with weird art movies vs the kind of audience that only really engages with blockbusters and marvel movies, and the overlap of those groups in the theater.

because, like, the boy and the heron is far and away more straightforward, from a plot perspective, than a lot of other Weird Extremely Personal Art Movies i've seen and love, but it IS a Weird Extremely Personal Art Movie even so. usually the only people seeing Weird Extremely Personal Art Movies, especially in theaters, are people who like that and expect that and have seen those types of films before and are therefore capable of engaging with them even when things aren't as clear as they'd be in an average blockbuster flick. like, nobody who only cares about Cinema to the extent of marvel movies and MAYBE john wick is going to see beau is afraid, and if they did they wouldn't have the tools to engage with such a dream-logicy movie. it would just be a weird thing that doesnt make sense to them, at least until they worked their media engagement muscles with other weird films. there's a lot of self-selection to the kind of person who usually sees these kind of movies.

while boy and the heron is weirder and more complex than a lot of other ghibli movies, as far as weird art films go it is incredibly, INCREDIBLY straightfoward. every weird plot point is explained very clearly to the audience, very little is up for interpretation from a strictly "what was the plot" point of view. boy loses mother. father remarries and moves the family. boy struggles to contend with grief. boy is pulled into a magical world by an old man who wants to use him. time is weird and fucked up in the magical world, but the movie is going to go out of it's way to highlight who's who and make it clear how the time travel works and the characters' relations to one another. the boy refuses to take over the magical world because he wants to live in the real world with the real people he loves. boy leaves the magical world having learned an important lesson about moving on. but the boy and the heron trusts its audience, doesn't handhold, and expects the audience to engage seriously and with focus to its plot and characters and stories.

a lot of people never watch movies like that! a lot of people are used to uncomplicated superhero movies and romcoms and that's it. the difference is that those people were never going to see beau is afraid, so the discussion about that movie instead comes from people who have the tools to engage with it. but because of the aesthetic-ification of ghibli, a lot of people who don't Do art films but are really into the aesthetics of cute little guys and girls in pretty dresses went to this art film and were confused that it was weird and dream-like and dark and strange and requires more of its audience than just passively watching.

anyway there's nothing wrong with not having the muscles to engage with weird art films, though i do think everyone should challenge themselves with the kind of stuff they watch. there's nothing wrong with preferring simple straightforward uncomplicated plotlines. but it is really interesting seeing people talk about the movie like it's insanely weird and doesnt make any sense meanwhile me and the friends i've chatted with about who DO have experience with this kind of film all feel insane because the movie is SO clear and SO straightforward by the standards we're used to. its just a neat crossover re: the kinds of movie fans that exist

#rain speaking! #does this make sense #its like if this was a live action more or even an animated movie from another studio half this audience would never engage with it because #it is on its face a weird strange art movie about the director working thru smth #but ghibli is as much an Aesthetic (a highly simplified 'cozy' and uncomplicated aesthetic that has very little to do #with the kinds of films ghibli actually makes) as it is a studio so a lot of ppl whod otherwise never touch this type of work #are going to be in theaters for it #WHICH IS GOOD!! i hope watching it inspires those folks to engage w more weird shit #sorry for the beau is afraid comparison they rly have very little in common it was just the first thing that came to me #when i was thinking abt other weird highly personal art films made by directors who are clearly #expecting the audience to have a really solid base under them re: their ability to engage with complicated films #boy and the heron spoilers /

Alright, I finally watched Pacific Rim last night and yeah, okay, I get it now. From what I've read, the second movie is not as good but the prospect of a Charlie Day corruption/possession arc is just too tasty for me to ignore, so I'll have to load that one up soon.

Tangentially related, but I CANNOT unsee Luigi in everything this man does. He was truly born to be a green plumber from Brooklyn.

#hello there #pacific rim #charlie day #newt geiszler #luigi #legobiwan watches a movie #good way to get through a long run on the treadmill #fun movie - overall a solid 7 but the science bros antics definitely elevate it

Wait a minute, they used Na Na Na in Renfield, a vampire movie... Which presumably means that they paid My Chemical Romance for use of that song... Which means....

They finally did it. MCR got their vampire money!

#good for them! #good for them #yes I just saw Renfield #it was good! #not my new number one vampire media by any means #but a very fun ride #I respect MCR's support of this movie over Twilight #I mean I also enjoyed Twilight but I get their hesitation too #this was much more silly but still quite solid #definitely not a romantic vampire #but yeah. Renfield had swag #I liked him better pre-makeover though #Renfield #Dracula #My Chemical Romance #Na Na Na #I kind of expected it over a fight scene (I had already heard it was in there) but prepping for the final battle was good too #it always annoys me how much they cut it up and skip lyrics in the songs but I suppose that's part of putting a song in a movie #yeah. it was good #Renfield 2023 #kinda odd how they stole Jonathan Harker's backstory for Renfield #didn't know how to handle the mental institution thing I guess #yeah still processing my thoughts but I enjoyed it #I would like to get back to reading the novel proper too. maybe I'll stick with Dracula Daily this year #vampires #what else should I tag #*googles the cast of the movie* #Nicholas Hoult #Nicolas Cage #I didn't realize Nicolas Cage didn't have an h in his name hug

Do you know where you want tmwn to end? Like will it end around the same time the movie ended (in the bridge) or will there be a few more chapters with an aftermath of the movie that later leads to it closing off?

My current plan is for TMWN to 'end' after defeating the Shredder. The fic already stupid long, lmao, if I took us all the way through the movie and beyond it would end up being a ridiculous length. (Did you know it's already longer than Dune? I am deranged. It's my favorite fun fact to tell people outside of the fandom space. Their reactions are incredible.)

I do have this very vague thought of perhaps one day writing a 'sequel' fic that goes through the events of the movie, but I really want to finish the original fic, first, and I'm also not 1000% sold on the idea yet! My relationship with Apocalypse Timelines and such is a little complicated so I'm not sure right now. ^^;

#i dont really have any concrete plans for what a movie fic would look like yet #i mean i have a few little. like. plot bunnies #but i dont have a solid PLAN #as opposed to the main fic where ive always had a relatively good idea of the basic structure of the story #asks #sorrywhatnowau #anon
