It took a while to find, and it’s not the best quality, but I was able to track down at the very least the opening credit sequence to Goncharov

irreplaceable rant? to the left to the left

My irreplaceable rant is essentially:

When Beyonce wrote Irreplaceable it was like a giant stepping on an ant. Even in 06 she was shaping up to be a Juggernaut. B'Day launched at number 1 I believe? She was blowing up. Well established, producing bop after bop after banger after banger. And We bought Irreplaceable because we, fully, were on board. Beyonce COULD have another you in a minute. The mythos of Beyonce was taking shape. She was Beyonce, you were some guy. To the left.

When she wrote Lemonade it was like. Oh there are stakes now because whether you think Jay Z is great or not or a garbage dude or whatever, he's at least closer to her level than just "some guy".

Like. Of course she could have another you in a minute if you were some dude. But could she have another Jay Z in a minute? No, categorically she could not, and to say otherwise is to tell yourself fun lies because you hate cheaters or men or whatever. I am a firm believer that Beyonce is one of a kind and cannot be replicated in our lifetime as a cultural phenomenon, artist, creator, singer, you name it she is. incredible. But I'm also not going to pretend Jay Z wasn't in some ways just as singularly, powerfully monolithic with popculture just because most of this website understands rap less.

She writes the Sistine Chapel about him because like it or not, she wants to. She looks at him and sees things you could only dream of creating and I for one am just happy to be here, and could care less what you think about Beyonce's specialist boy who is the catalyst of some of the best music I've heard in the past decade, and also someone who MADE some of the best music I've heard in the past 20 years as well.

Beyonce's first solo recording was 03 Bonnie and Clyde, btw. As in, she was a feature on a Jay Z song before even releasing Dangerously in Love. Which. Also prominently has a Jay Z feature. In the lead single. That arguably launched Beyonce's career. Why would she ever write songs about the man who helped her launch her career that she has been married to for 16 years. A damn mystery.

And for the record, if she wanted to make the most beautiful art in the world about literal garbage, so the fuck what. We hate Duchamps The Fountain on this website now? Irving Penn spent years taking extremely detailed, well composed photos... of actual trash. Like Mud Glove. His photos were hanging in the Smithsonian a few years ago. Turns out beautiful art that says something, even something about trash? Still beautiful.

#lowkey the reason folks on here are like #why does beyonce sing songs about... that guy #is because you don't understand Jay Z and his place in the musical zeitgeist and I would be more embarrassed to admit that than you're bein #Like #Jay Z does not need me defending him #for starters #his wife is Beyonce. He definitely like. Won #But come on man. Read like a single article about him #It's giving this film is boring and therefore bad #it's giving I hate rap so it must not have anything to say #it's giving marvel movie levels of taste. In 2k24? Really? You're saying that with your whole chest? Ok.

i know a guy who always shares with me what feels like The Correct Opinions On Current Media (If You Are An Insufferable Hipster In Brooklyn) ((I Say This With Full Love To All Insufferable Hipsters In Brooklyn, Rest Assured If I Lived In Your City I Would Be One Of You, Which Only Makes Me More Confused And Conflicted On The Matter))

anyway he keeps hyping up Poor Things. i am skeptical. does anyone else have opinions on Poor Things. which is a better use of my time: Poor Things or Jupiter Ascending (which i am told is trash but, like, fun trash)

#i guess i should add that i hate all film. by default. #but i also hate not being in with the cultural zeitgeist #do you see my problem.

Anyway I kinda hate how quickly our culture moves on nowadays where media cycles turn over so fast Rachel is officially saying goodbye to a film that only came out three months ago

#this is so badly written #but basically 1 i dont blame rachel at all i love rachel #i just hate how fast the news moves that we only enjoy media while it's cool/in the news #and then it falls out the zeitgeist so quickly #whereas people still write articles and yes fica #fics #about shows like tww which literally came out 25 years ago #but its kinda impossible to have a consistent fan community for stuff that comes out now cos ppl just want new content #anyway im done with this content mill approach to media/film/tv maybe i stayed here #yes i shd just write my own hunger games fic but whatever #long ass post to just say i need more snowbaird #not doctor who #the hunger games #rachel zegler

Saw (2004)

"Congratulations. You are still alive. Most people are so ungrateful to be alive. But not you. Not anymore."

can you say what else it's about? genuinely interested

i’m not gonna write an essay in this post abt the intricacies of the film. but! ignoring the themes of cultural insensitivity, misogyny, abuse, & catharsis lead to a surface level analysis imo. i think bc ari aster is a horror movie director ppl tend to focus on the horror driven & scary parts of what he creates (cults, etc). to truly piece together every message he set out to deliver you have to look past the devices he uses to get these messages across. calling midsommar a cult movie is like saying hereditary is abt how to be a terrible brother. yk?

#mine. #answered. #and it’s not a ‘girl power’ movie either that’s also super surface level #but it’s not a film you can compare to fight club in the way that it commands the cultural zeitgeist. that’s stupid

[tales-of-the-dense]

If I had to sum up Louise Simonson’s writing in one word, at least in the context of X-Factor, that word would be “exploitative,” and in multiple senses. First of all, in a more straightforward sense, in how she handles certain subject matter; addiction, relationship strife, disability, and so on. But also in the sense that the drama in X-Factor takes precedence above all else. Everything must be milked for the visceral emotional response it may or may not cause in the audience. No character moments are left fully unadulterated by this egregious pursuit of drama. The emotion lunges toward extremity, hellbent on stroking the titillation of tragedy to its inevitable, messy conclusion. Anyway

#i don’t want this to sound TOO negative but I also have to stress that reading stuff like that is Exhausting emotionally #in the history of exploitative media there’s always been an incredible gray area between art and exploitation #there are plenty of famous works categorized as exploitative that have great value in the artistic zeitgeist #and the definition of exploitative work is often very very subjective #and yet. obviously X factor is not occupying the same space in my brain as like. a dario argento film #x factor

What are your thoughts on everything everywhere all at once please?

i really enjoyed it! we're going through a bit of Happy Nihilist moment in cultural time, i think, and this movie is such a lovely expression of that while also being like. so new, and genre-bending, and surprising. i love that at the core of all its maximalism there was really a delight in the mundane, and the way in which a (very forceful) broadening of your horizon can remind you that littleness and routine and familiarity deserve your love, too. i loved everything about jobu tupaki, her style, her dialogue, her villanelle-dialled-up-to-200 vibes. honestly, i think "colourful comedy that makes you cry" just might be my favourite genre of the year :')

#WILL say that that exact maximalism made my friend who is more prone to sensory overload than i am a little unwell in the cinema #even though she still came out having loved it #looove a comedy that's a drama that's an action adventure that's a martial arts film that's a science fiction movie that's a #idk it fits in so well with this current zeitgeist of like #what is there still to say? what way is there still to say it? art's a factory farm & we're all on our way out #and the answer is always either a kind of gentle abnegation #(think like. the homestead slow living cottagecore thing) #or everything that's going on in this movie #and it makes me happy that this is the direction art is just......taking now? at least in places #so what if we're singing while rome burns. maybe it's a fun song. maybe it's better than NOT singing. since rome's burning anyway #asks #anon

The biggest crime of the Barbie movie is that it’s fueled a million straight white women to talk about how no one cares about their purchasing power. Their evidence for this is the Barbie movie and Taylor swift, two famously unpopular brands from the past

#to cleanse me of the sin of mildly enjoying the experience of zeitgeist #I’ve been watchung 1980s Japanese films all weekend #oh and also Cronenberg
