of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)

#len speaks #star wars #revenge of the sith #empire strikes back #the force awakens #not tagging more films than that bc i cant b bothered. incoming tag ramble ahead bc i have sw brainrot rn and im making it everyones prob❤️ #i rlly struggled 2 remember if id watched tfa or aotc more. i went w/ tfa bc it was formative to me as a teen and ive seen it probably 6ish #times? whereas aotc was the first sw movie i remember (specifically the scene of obiwan serving c*nt in the bar lmao) but i've only seen it #for sure 4.5 and maybe 5.5 times. the .5 is from when i got bored after obi-wan's scene ended and ran off to go play in the mud or smthn 😭 #i'm sure tfa will eventually get surpassed in number of rewatches by aotc and rots bc i don't fw the direction of the ST but that's my #current ballpark estimate of my total number of rewatches #as an adult tho if i just wanna watch a star war i'll go with aotc bc it's fun and ends semihappily and i can turn my brain off for the #spinny lightsabers. it's great background noise or for if you're sick or whatever. rots on the other hand? i won't talk through that unless #i'm quoting it with my brother and i am LOCKED IN 100% entirely entranced by it all #i almost picked rogue one for the best quality answer but i think the character writing is weaker and the facial cgi is creepy. esb beats #it by a hair imho bc of that. the vader hallway scene goes hard tho!!! #also i'm not covering shows or games or books or anything else in this post - simply the films. might ask abt shows later but that might #also give me hives bc so many of the shows suck ass and i don't rlly want ppl extolling the virtues of t.bb in my notes 💀 #and yes i do think one's enjoyment and one's opinion of quality are two things that often overlap. but sometimes you just like something #bad and that's awesome. like rots is the best of the prequels by a large margin and i adore the opening and characters and many of the #scenes but that doesn't mean it's the best star wars has to offer ykwim? it's my specialest most favoritest sw movie but that doesn't blind #me to the dialogue lmfaooo

A24 is pretty reliable insofar as a production company can be considered reliable as a predictor that a given horror movie will be fairly good.

However the happiness I feel over a new A24 film is nowhere near the delight in my heart when I start up a horror flick and I'm greeted with Screen Australia. That's when I know I better hold onto my fucking tits.

#also Irish films #but Aussie horror is uniquely unhinged #moreso than any other country tbh and I've seen a lot of horror from a lot of places

In my Misharius feels and was looking up their old vids on YouTube.

The accent they put on throughout this video! I have a need for Misha to star in a Stephen King film now! I don't even like Maine accents like that, but coming from him unlocked something....

#I don't know if its accurate but damn i could listen to misha put on little accents all day #misha collins #darius marder #also them just randomly wrestling each other in spandex throughout the trip. the amount of *films* I've seen with that premise😭 #misha #spn #supernatural #gish #Youtube

Kingdom Hearts 4 Challenge Day 6: A World to Revisit

Atlantica

(So, I swear all of my posts really aren't meant to be about Kairi. Like, I was going to make this cool manip where it looked like Sora was saving Melody from drowning, but my Sony Vegas refused to open for some reason? So I just decided to post these similar images of Melody and Kairi instead. That being said... while I don't need Kairi to be the one to go to a The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea world if we ever got one--I'd be more than okay with it being Sora--that would be cool. I'd love to see mermaid Kairi, since Kairi is named for the sea. And Kairi's name can even mean "melody." And she has a lot in common with Ariel. I even suspect she was somewhat based on Ariel, but anyway.)

The reason I would want Atlantica is honestly just because I would want a pretty underwater world again with the Unreal Engine graphics. And that can be a world that we've never been to before, like, Atlantis: The Lost Empire. But if we don't get a new one, then I would want an old one like Atlantica here. Plus... even though I don't think this movie is the greatest. At all. I feel like it's okay... and depending on how they handle it, the KH writers could potentially make it better, with what they add to it. Also, I feel like if we go to Atlantica one more time--with better swimming controls, and in an attempt that isn't a musical--we could finally redeem the world. And that would be great to see.

And now, for whatever reason, I'm going to list some other worlds I'd be more than okay with returning (even though I think we were only supposed to list one. Shh.)

Wonderland: But only if the world is expanded and it's a "sequel," via it being based on Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

Deep Jungle: I know this will surely never happen, since I know Disney has lost the rights to Tarzan. But on the off-chance they ever got the rights back somehow, I definitely wouldn't mind seeing this world back again, perhaps adapting some of the stories from the TV show, like the stuff with Princess La.

Agrabah: I definitely want to go here one more time and to have the "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" story depicted. (I probably would even prefer this even over Atlantica, actually, even though I want that pretty underwater level). This was one of the better Disney sequels, after all. And Sora most definitely deserves to be there for Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding.

Neverland: I wouldn't be opposed to the second Peter Pan movie being adapted.

The Land of Dragons: I'd be all for us having Mulan II, actually.

The Beast's Castle: I've always wanted "Beauty and the Beast and the Enchanted Christmas." I want to fight Forte. LOL. While I doubt it will happen, for obvious reasons, I feel like they could find a way to do it: like Belle writes Sora and the gang a part of her and the Beast's story that they don't know about (the Enchanted Christmas story) and sends it to them as a gift (maybe even for Christmas?), and once Sora opens it, he somehow gets pulled into said story.

Pirates of the Caribbean: I wouldn't mind a "Dead Men Tell No Tales" world.

The Lion King II: Simba's Pride would be awesome.

I would also kill for Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.

While part of me is loath to mention this one... I feel like no one was completely satisfied with the La Cité des Cloches world in Dream Drop Distance (because of lack of NPCs and that kind of thing). And there is a "The Hunchback of Notre Dame II" that Disney made. Absolutely no one likes this movie, and for good reason. But I don't know... I would be willing to tolerate it, just to see this world in the quality it deserves. And maybe Square Enix could somehow make it better... actually, surely not. But like I said: I could tolerate this just to run around Notre Dame in pretty Unreal Engine graphics.

I know that originally with DDD, the plan was Sora to go to all of the original Fantasia locations and for Riku to go to the ones in Fantasia 2000. But then they realized there were enough locations in the first movie for them both to go to, and they didn't need to crank out the sequel after all (or something like that). So I certainly wouldn't mind getting Fantasia 2000 now, in KHIV.

Tangled I'd love to go here again, if we get to see some of the cool plots from the TV show, that I've watched on YouTube. LOL

Arendelle We all know we'll be going here. It isn't even a question. I just hope that this time, Disney gives Square Enix much more freedom (let Elsa and Anna be party members, please). Since Frozen II is kind of hit and miss. Square Enix could really make something cool with it--like they could have with Frozen in KHIII--if they're allowed some creativity.

Wreck-It Ralph Because no one, and I mean no one, wanted us to first experience this world in KHUX, tbh.

Radiant Garden I just really want to finish some of the plot threads there that are still hanging.

Destiny Islands I just really want to be able to go back here and play, dangit! And maybe finally get to explore the main island!

Shibuya Just let us meet Neku, Shiki, Beat, Joshua, and Rhyme in their Shibuya (even if it's an in the credits thing), if Quadratum isn't theirs and we're not going to meet them (or the Wicked Twisters) in the game, otherwise.

#posting this a day early because i probably won't have time tomorrow #kh4challenge #kingdom hearts 4 challenge #kh #kingdom hearts #i also know that everyone always talks about this one nightmare before christmas game being adapted. and if there's enough new story conten #there i wouldn't mind that either #also... the 'sequel stuff' that kilala princess adds to sleeping beauty is so good! and might be the best i've ever seen sleeping beauty #handled since it's own movie #i'd love to see something like that in kh. but i don't know how you'd do it without the kilala stuff #though i'm also not oppsed at all to kilala being included. hmm... #also. though i know nothing about it. maybe more tron based off of it's tv show if that would work. maybe #i also wouldn't say no to more traverse town or end of the world. but i know those are impossible. lol #oh! and lilo and stitch! even though deep space even barely counts as us 'already having been there' because we didn't meet lilo or the #other main characters of the film. or go to hawaii. we were in a prequel #long post

I've watched and adored Encanto, Wolfwalkers, Across the Spider-Verse, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio. All absolutely incredible animated films that I'm sure will be held up as classics even 20 years from now.

With that said, Nimona is frankly a good step above all of them and my choice for animated film of the decade so far (at least for what I've heard of). An absolutely stellar film on every level. Do yourself a favor and watch it all on YouTube these next few days!

Does it stand a chance at the Oscars? Absolutely not, especially since even the Annies were dominated by Spider-Man. But it would absolutely deserve to. (And again, I adore Spider-Verse and still think it's 100% worthy of the Oscar on its own. It's basically the reverse of the Puss in Boots vs. Pinocchio situation last year. They're both masterpieces, only this time the slightly better masterpiece is almost certainly gonna get left in the cold.)

#nimona #nimona movie #oscars 2024 #i'm not exactly gonna pretend nothing good came out of disney last year #maybe elemental and especially guardians 3 are good #but holy crap the fact that this film they left to rot with blue sky came back to mop the floor with them? #that truly is the ultimate nail in the coffin! #that and you know the draconian capitalist stuff but that's a different story #rip blue sky #now i can no longer call ice age: the meltdown my favorite blue sky movie that i've seen #sorry 4-year-old (and honestly current) me :( #you know this decade's been a rough one for animation in so many ways even in regards to the movies #(though they may be the least of the problems now) #but man has this decade already given us some classics from both the big and small studios #i'm sorry i haven't said much on the movie but i don't even know what to say because it's so amazing #go watch it right now #now just hoping it comes to blu-ray because i have all five of those other movies on blu-ray #and the only one not in 4k being wolfwalkers simply because it doesn't have a 4k (tho at least also having two more movies) #(one of said movies (song of the sea) actually being better than wolfwalkers but that's a different story; cartoon saloon rocks) #Youtube

Oh this hurts

"Wait, you're jealous" // "I'm not jealous, I'm worried. You've changed. // "You're right. I have changed. I used to be a nervous mess, and now-" // "The Whisper is manipulating your mind, your emotions" // "I know. For the better."

"It's so disappointing to see you turn to envy" // "I'm not jealous. I'm heartbroken." // "Nicholas, I've moved on. You are holding on to an outdated view of me that is the source of much unhappiness" // “You're creating an artificial state of happiness. It is a complete disconnection from true emotion”. // You don't have to be heartbroken. You can be happy".

#that foreshadowing though #I think I've seen this film before #I know I've done a lot with this concept but the scene was good #Wait does this imply sticky is what Curtain would be like if he dropped the facade? Since sticky becomes like curtain when brain washed? #Oh my and Yes I know the Benedict brother's convo is out of order I needed the panels to match I'm sorry #fan theory that Curtain's inventions all started as failed attempts to cure his narcolepsy so he could be adopted #then he realized that that curing anxiety and inducing fake happiness gave him control over others #I'm watching the writers with their little sticky reynie letter writing conflict #are they gonna have the boys parallel Curtain and Benedict again #Is that why they killed off Sticky's parents? So he also has no one? #Cause Kate has Milligan Reynie has Ms. Perumal and Constance has Benedict #All Sticky has is an aunt who couldn't be bother to show up for the season finale #Oh well I guess we'll find out #the mysterious benedict society #mysterious benedict society #tmbs #tmbs disney #mbs #mbs disney #mbs s2 #mbs season 2 #sticky washington #reynie muldoon #ld curtain #mr curtain #ledroptha curtain #nathaniel benedict #nicholas benedict #mr benedict

I've somewhat made a horror movie blog (not on tumblr) so now I need to figure out what to post there. There's several topics I'd be interested in exploring, but idk how to make them sound interesting or good

#also need to find the time and motivation to edit what ive written and write new things #one topic I've researched before and wpuld be cool to talk about is the horror space sequel thing #since like several franchises just randomly have space sequels and i've spent hours reading about it bc i thought it was really interesting #and also really strange how its kind of a thing #id also be interested in talking about obscure movies #I've been watching some more obscure japanese and korean horror films lately and maybe i could talk about that #bc the more obscure movies are very rarely talked about #like everyone talks about the grudge and ringu and train to busan and audition #but i really like the more obscure moviee too. not just from those countries but others too #and it'd be cool to maybe explore them more? #idk #i dont want to do like reviews bc im terrible at reviewing movies (i guess maybe mini-reviews would be doable but not long ones) #I'll have to figure it out more but i do want to make a horror blog #I'd try my hand at a yourube channel but i hate video editing ngl so blog (for now) it is #oh also i wanna talk about lesbian/sapphic rep in horror!!! lesbians in horror are always my favorite thing ever so i love watching them #I've seen quite a few and i could maybe try talking about that too?

also saw bound last night which was very good. among other things. 1990-whenever!gina gershon, call me

#always great when a film takes a firm pro-fingering stance #also just a really solid thriller which i didn't expect i guess bc the other work i've seen by the wachowski sisters has meandered #doesn't totally keep up the tension etc etc

my favourite parts of all the president's men are easily whenever dustin hoffman sits like a slut

#dustin hoffman is a piece of shit and from what i know the real carl bernstein isn't the greatest guy in the world #so to me the film version of bernstein is completely fictional guy who is my wife. and also still kind of an asshole but thats fine <3 #despite the fact that ive seen atpm 20 (!!!) times now i barely post about it all my thoughts are in my google docs #and i am slightly self conscious posting about it. which is bizarre considering all the other shit i've posted and never felt embarrassed b #and i dont really mind when my posts get zero notes bc i know when im making a post no one care about. idk. strange. #micah.txt #journalism yaoi tag

The Blue Caftan (2022)

#she watches #the blue caftan #le bleu du caftan #maryam touzani #lubna azabal #saleh bakri #ayoub missioui #a bittersweet queer movie about love and acceptance #I've rarely seen so much empathy on screen #the characters are so strong and yet so very soft with each other #they respect and care so much for each other #a form of companionship I crave #the summary undersold it honestly #the cast is stunning and so is their alchemy together #also the mastery behind making caftan is crazy and beautifully filmed #also I love hands and the way they're portrayed and here they did and showed so much it was really amazing #it's a slow movie like the making of a caftan like their little quiet life despite all their secrets #because of the topic and the country the whole thing is pretty subtle and it kinda enhances everything #you must watch it in arabic

I. need to stop reading user-submitted media reviews :(

#I was reading google reviews of the outwaters because I just watched that movie and hoo boy. people are meeean #I saw several reviews that were like 'this is the worst movie I've ever seen it's just as bad as skinamarink' #and like. if you watched all 100 minutes of skinamarink and didn't like it whyy are you watching other experimental films in that same vein #at this point you should know it's not for you #also stuff like 'I couldn't even finish this movie' then don't write a review! if you can't finish a movie why write a public review??? #who do you benefit by doing that? #and just the general attitude I see with many reviews of experimental movies that's just #'the people who said they liked this didn't actually watch it and are just trying to sound smart. the only honest reviews are the bad ones' #idk man sometimes people like stuff that you don't like. sorry that thats incomprehensible to you #I don't even think I liked the outwaters that much!! all the reviews were just so rude and now I feel the need to defend it!!!

"The handmaiden is male gazey" did you know lesbians like fucking other women sexy style? Did you know that a large theme in the handmaiden was the male gaze and misogyny and if you can't separate explorations of a harmful idea from endorsements of it you may be hopeless?

guys I knew it I knew that would be a comment inflammatory enough to attract my first hate anon cut the cameras we did it bois :D

#did you know *I'm* a lesbian that is into that shit also? no because reading comprehension website #they're shot like they're doing that for the cameras not for each other so kind of shoots the message on the foot depending on how you look #never said it's endorsement I said it made *me* uncomfortable and bored because I've seen a dozen movies like that and I'm tired #not to mention this is a critical darling of a film #I'm well aware it isn't the movies fault that a bunch of film bros talk about how hot the scenes are but it still irks me #and were the people in charge of the filmaking process women btw? NO much less queer women they were mostly cis men #she had absolutely no qualms about playing a homosexual character #which in Korea actors can be considerably reluctant to do. #<- those two are straight from an interview with the guy the gayness was novelty and shock value #not to mention bestie it was inspired by a book go sing the praises of that while you're at it #that's where the thread of criticism towards the institutions of misogyny were pulled from #In Fingersmith Waters uses her depiction of lesbian love between Maud and Sue to challenge a variety of hetero-patriarchal norms #my god that name's hilarious #you don't need to defend the honor of a queer story that was adapted with a straight audience in mind #and this convinced me to check the book out idk about you but I'd rather see the version actually told by a lesbian 😊 #a tag for asks #also ut's queerness is very gender identity related and I think people generally don't appreciate that as much as they do sex stuff
