for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

#the truman show #sbs rambles #I keep thinking about how children on popular youtube channels should probably have laws to protect them #social workers assigned to them maybe #I dunno #they did not sign up to have their lives sold for profit #but here we are #tho #I guess none of us signed up for it #and our data is harvested more than ever #god #high-tech capitalism sucks turns out #OH WAIT because tumblr is bad at getting context sometimes #let me specify: #I am not saying that the movie The Truman Show is bad or that it normalizes this #like all good sci-fi (because it is kind of sci-fi) it's there to warn us of what the future could hold #and it did that in a very good way - it's a beautiful movie #I could see someone with a bad faith take assuming I meant that it was part of the problem #it absolutely wasn't. it didn't normalize this; we did #youtube did and social media #it's us that's the problem #or more specifically: big corporations and a lack of regulation #that's the origin of most modern problems

“the class commentary in saltburn was shit” WHAT CLASS COMMENTARY???? NOT EVERY MOVIE WITH RICH PEOPLE HAS TO OR SHOULD HAVE CLASS COMMENTARY. EMERALD FENNELL KNOWS VERY WELL THAT SHE IS NOT THE RIGHT DIRECTOR FOR A MOVIE ABOUT CLASS COMMENTARY WHICH IS WHY SHE DID NOT WRITE A MOVIE ABOUT CLASS COMMENTARY.

#saltburn posting #saltburn #begging everyone who is complaining about the ‘message’ of saltburn to watch ANY interview with emerald #when you see her attention to detail and hear the way she talks about these characters #you will understand that this is a movie about obsession #and the cattons being rich heightens this for sure and pushes oliver into an uncomfortable position #in the exact same way that it pushes farleigh into an uncomfortable position #they will grant you help as long as you don’t ask for it #desires are messy and ugly so it’s better to just not have them #these ideas are absolutely a result of the catton’s wealth and status #but as far as the plot goes #their wealth is just a narrative tool to push these ideas about beauty and obsession #watch the cufflinks scene again and really think about it #think about venetia and what she wanted and farleigh and what he wanted #and all of the desires that are left unspoken at saltburn #and the desire to BE DESIRED #think about all of this and try to tell me that this is a movie about material gain

From Vincent Price's radio show, "The Saint" circa 1950. This man is a true legend. I adore him.

Ladies and gentlemen, poison doesn’t always come in bottles. And it isn’t always marked with the skull and crossbones of danger. Poison can take the form of words and phrases and acts: the venom of racial and religious hatred. Here in the United States, perhaps more than ever before, we must learn to recognize the poison of prejudice and to discover the antidote to its dangerous effects. Evidences of racial and religious hatred in our country place a potent weapon in the hands of our enemies, providing them with the ammunition of criticism. Moreover, group hatred menaces the entire fabric of democratic life. As for the antidote: you can fight prejudice, first by recognizing it for what it is, and second by actively accepting or rejecting people on their individual worth, and by speaking up against prejudice and for understanding. Remember, freedom and prejudice can’t exist side by side. If you choose freedom, fight prejudice.

#vincent price #radio show #the saint #1950s #a true icon #bicon #i love this man #not only is he a wonderful actor... #or a gorgeous man #or a devoted father #hes an absolute beautiful human being #horror #old horror movies #vintage #movie #actor

I'm just sayin', Starstruck and Kirby would be adorable. But also Starstruck and Meta-Knight might be the funniest thing you could possibly do. :)

hear me out: peter pan (2003) window scene

been staunchly avoiding typing too much on most of these but i have some thoughts about this one!

you know... i had actually never even considered kirby for the shipaganza. mostly because i think of him as holding such a strong and unique position in the hearts of everyone who knows him, in a way that is devout but also seems fairly romance-free. and i'm actually very interested in the complex relationships that he has with his friends! but i wonder if not considering him was maybe a disservice, because if anyone has an abundance of the capacity for love, it's him, right?

i think that kirby could eventually occupy a similar heart-space for starstruck as bandee, though it would take longer. i strongly suspect that bandee's love of kirby would rub off on her, if nothing else.

i'm not sure either of them... really understand the premise of romance or dating, so it might not be a typical sort of thing. but i think they could giggle and laugh together and shoot each other slightly smitten looks when the other one isn't paying attention, and be very invested in each others happiness.

he adds a pass by her window to his early morning flight, on the off chance she might be up to join him. she's always thinking of him when he's off saving the world, and distinguishes his star from all the others in the sky with ease. the irresistible allure of adventure vs someone who has never seen any of the wonders of your planet before. someone who finds as much unrestrained joy and delight in the mundane as you do. eating paper cups you find on the ground.

you know i could see it.

#my art #kirby #starstruck dee #🎀💖 #you know the scene where she's hesitating in the window and the music starts and he shoots her The Most infectious smile of all time #that one!!! #does anyone remember this movie? #i think if kirby showed up in the window offering a whimsical adventure and a charming smile nobody would think twice. #when i made this comparison i could NOT stop thinking about it. peter and wendy are a little too romo coded for my tastes in general #but there's a beautiful feeling of choosing freedom and delight in that scene. and i think kirby COULD be a little cheeky!! #the part where he blows the fairy dust all over her? you know i considered it. considered drawing the whole thing. barely resisted. #is this one canon to her? yes. i think so but not romantically. and this visit might be a special circumstance. #he's a busy little guy; he doesn't take her as often as he might like. certainly not as much as SHE would like. but i think... yes. #at least once. as a treat. #you know what i think could also be cute? kirby/bandee/starstruck triad. drop a braincell haver (bandee) in there. #three circles who are absolutely insane about each other in a surprisingly similar way. i think it could work? yes? no? thoughts? #<- prompt it if you wanna see it i guess! #also... starstruck and meta knight..... we'll come back to that! we'll circle right around. boy howdy will we circle back to *that*. #*laughs nervously*

I have never seen a movie say disabled people are allowed to exist and be loved before. The way Nimona treated Bal's disability means the entire world to me.

#i keep thinking about bal being disabled and just start crying #because we're allowed to exist #we're allowed to take up space #we're allowed to be loved #not in spite of our disabilities but BECAUSE of them #and i think that's absolutely beautiful #i found this movie exactly when i needed it most #nimona #ballister boldheart #goldenheart #disabled #actually disabled

Bo-Katan Kryze is a remarkably strong woman for numerous reasons. She's faced an incredible amount of trauma and loss throughout her life, seen the planet she loved destroyed several times as her attempts at ruling her people came to devastating ends.

But I think, by far, the most impressive thing she's ever done is how she remained standing after Din Djarin said to her:

"What means more to me is honour. And loyalty. And character. These are the reasons I serve you, Lady Kryze... your song is not yet written, I will serve you until it is."

Then made a fist over his heart and thEN BOWED? Girl.... I would have collapsed on the spot. No amount of intergalactic smelling salts would have been able to revive me. Respect.

#i am just kidding she is an absolute badass and has done plenty of impressive things that don't involve din #but i just rewatched the pledge (needed to hear his voice saying those words) and i can't??? his words??!!! it's beautiful #i hope she's in the movie but katee hasn't posted anything and that makes me sort of nervous #ugh i love them so much i want them both to be happy always #din djarin #bo katan kryze #the mandalorian #din djarin x bo katan kryze #dinbo

Hey *puts hand on shoulder*

There is no "most faithful" version of TMNT, and that's okay

#i see debates over what is more “faithful” and equating it to meaning it's better but I'd argue that there isn't really a most faithful one #and that's the beauty of TMNT is that an iteration can be considered not as faithful as another in one way but faithful to it in another wa #like 03 and 2012 pull a lot from the 90s movies and 2012 pulls from 03 with the plots even directly quoting #and Rise pulls its feel a lot from 03 and the dynamics from 87 and the 90s #and it doesn't make the iterations better than another because of it #it just means it did something different with the boys #and I absolutely adore it #tmnt #tmnt 2003 #tmnt 2012 #rottmnt #tmnt 1987 #tmnt 1990 #tmnt 03 #tmnt 87 #tmnt 90s

hunger games ballad of songbirds and snakes was SO DELIGHTFULLY FUCKED UP FROM START TO FINISH. absolutely loved it. it was the exactly appropriate amount of horrifying. this is a movie about the villains and how truly fucked up their minds and motivations are and how that directly led to the Panem and hunger games we see by Katniss’s time. the few good people are quashed by the evil ones NOT BECAUSE OF INDIVIDUAL VILLAINY but because the SYSTEM is so horribly corrupt and oppressive and individually they can’t change those systems and it’ll take until the massive collective efforts in the second rebellion for that to happen. Snow is humanized without ever being redeemed; it shows he was not born evil but went from this traumatized little kid to a conniving calculating bastard man willing to cast off said humanity for the sake of his ambitions of power and control. CONTROL - the books hit this home, but a sense of control is what makes him feel powerful, as someone who grew up under the shadow of war watching people starve in the Capitol streets and he himself going hungry for most of his life. and then the movie takes all that into account and shows what he becomes and says “cool motive still murder.” it was so well done I’m losing my mind

#the hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #thg films #the ballad of songbirds and snakes film #thg movies #hunger games movies #I can write an entire analysis on Lucy Gray and Rachel Zegler and the goddamn genius MUSIC but this first one has to get all this out of me #god I wish every film with singing could do what they did for this movie #Rachel Zegler sang just about everything live #and it is absolute perfection #I am OBSESSED with un-autotuned sound I am a choral musician after all #the beautiful sound of live singing that hasn’t been digitally edited… lordy #anyway second post about that coming #potato speaks #potato yells about the hunger games #it is THE YA DYSTOPIA EVER #it is the ONLY ya dystopia #Suzanne Collins is such a genius
