Just saw How Do You Live (Boy and the Heron). In short, it delivered but this isn't a review, we're chatting about a single animator. Avoiding all trailers I was surprised to see this opening scene:
That's definitely Shinya Ohira, I thought.
Often I wonder about the process of an artist bringing a concept to reality. Starting life as an idea, it gets filtered, drained and blemished through the process of reaching the audience.
When I see Ohira's scenes I become aware of my heartbeat as if it's synchronizing with his.
Though I first saw his work on Akira, this short from the Animatrix was THE ONE. I still call it "Ya Know, The Skateboard Kid" and people know exactly what I'm talking about.
Ohira's opening scene in How Do You Live was left uncorrected which worked with the nightmarish atmosphere of the sequence. I'd imagine bringing his work on-model has to be hell.
You're watching an anime and suddenly, THAT SCENE pops up. Kill Bill, Howl's Moving Castle, Ping Pong, you know the ones.
In animation, they want you to stay on-model, keep the show cohesive, but speaking as one that works in the industry, I want to be seen.
You're watching something and get asked, "Wanna see something really cool?" and you get this crazy animation flex. I want to see artist go wild. Gimme THAT SCENE!

idk if im stupid or a genius for realising this just now but the wedding scene in fleabag when the Hot Priest says
"Love is awful. It’s awful. It’s painful. It’s frightening. It makes you doubt yourself, judge yourself, distance yourself from the other people in your life. It makes you selfish. It makes you creepy, makes you obsessed with your hair, makes you cruel, makes you say and do things you never thought you would do. It’s all any of us want, and it’s hell when we get there. So no wonder it’s something we don’t want to do on our own. I was taught if we’re born with love then life is about choosing the right place to put it. People talk about that a lot, feeling right, when it feels right it’s easy. But I’m not sure that’s true. It takes strength to know what’s right. And love isn’t something that weak people do. Being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope. I think what they mean is, when you find somebody that you love, it feels like hope."
is this a play on the Bible verse that's typically recited at weddings? "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
Phoebe Waller Bridge you goddamn genius
i can never stop finding hidden gems in this show

“I’d die for you” is nice
“I’d kill for you” is fun
but “I’d live for you” is where it’s really at because isn’t that the hardest one of all

Say what you want about Saltburn but the color aesthetics are amazing. Some of the cinematography is almost ethereal. The movie is 50 shades of fucked up but the setting was beautiful!
Also.... Everyone is talking about the bathtub scene and the grave scene, but the menstruation vampire scene had me crossing my legs and scrunching my face into a knot.

The OG Script for Hannibal '01
It would've improved this scene by means!
" – and your lips will burn."
Man, I'd have had Hannibal (Tony) cut off my wrist to hear him say that line.

In Stars and Time having a canonical Ace character and a canonical AroAce character is something that can be so personal tbh

Just trying to remember THAT moment with memes…
Man I love Neil Gaiman but I said very few bad words to him after THAT….
I’m not so sure about coffe’s theory, I think Aziraphale’s afraid of Heaven and what they can do to Crowley. Or maybe he really believe in changes things up there.
Wharever the reason is, I cried myself to sleep THAT night (and I still do).
