#my art #jjba #jojo's bizarre adventure #f.f. #stone ocean #kidcore kind of beat but unintentional #I finally got around to watching the anime adaptation and ahhh I forgot just how good stone ocean was #like there's not a single boring or unmemorable arc

licherally every single choice made in regards to the pjo show has just totally obliterated the tension of the original series. i will ask once again. where is the energy!!!!!!! they butchered the echidna shit what even WAS that. the only redeeming moment was the three kids talking in the very beginning which is like. it’s an action based franchise i love dialogue obviously i’m an asoiaf fan but if three 12 year olds on a train talking is the most exciting part of the episode where a child is fatally poisoned and jumps out of the gateway arch then that sucks shit actually. what is happening here!!!!! LAME. WHATEVER.

#also can we talk about how the score is the most unmemorable shit i have ever heard. #there should be themes!!!! motifs!!!! in the score!!!! instead it’s generic fantasy adventure nothingness. #kill myself you say! right away boss

#tenth doctor #doctor who #dr who #my feelings on these are as follows: 1) Literal peak episode w one of the best scenes in the whole show #2) pure unadulterated tenmartha cocaine and i don't understand anyone who says this is unmemorable #3) this episode is LITERALLY FINE it's a fascinating outsider pov i love the jackie stuff and it's only brought down by the end's details #4) fuck all of you the setting is so good and this establishes ten's mindset throughout the season and i love u tallulah #5) if you cannot appreciate the ten martha donna trio like i do there is no hope for you god bless #lol i'm noticing 3 of these are series 3 episodes that i love for defining the ten and martha dynamic and i'm mad ppl ignore them lol #10 era

In praise of Dead Man's Chest,

a rather forgettable follow-up of Curse of the Black Pearl, i wanted to quickly list the moments where the vibes are truly off the charts:

when Bill Turner comes to tell Jack his time is up and gives him the black spot

visiting Tia Dalma. Her telling of the origin story of Davy Jones' heart, the fact that she has the same music box on her table in a brief shot, Barbossa's boots (still dead? resting?) on a bed in a different room as monkey Jack investigates. (Hell, when her cabin comes into view we hear the same tune we heard when Barbossa died!!) "Him heart." "A touch... of destiny" ma'am i fucking love you

Will being sent to search the Flying Dutchman but he's only sent to a wreckage that has fallen victim to the kraken. One crew member still desperately trying to hoist a sail, Will barely able to snap him out of it. Bodies everywhere. Lashing rain. A body dropped from great height, its face torn off by the kraken's suckers, just a membrane of skin that is still pulsing as the man desperately tries to breathe beneath it. I feel like this is Will's "you'd best start believing in ghost stories, Turner. You're in one!" moment

And then the Dutchman rises from the depths and its crew literally comes out of the woodwork!! Will dousing his sword in oil and smashing a lamp to fight with a flaming blade and see what he's up against!!

"Do you fear death? Do you fear that dark abyss?" (still thrilled i put this line on a pair of booty shorts in my black sails crack fic but thats an unrelated sidenote, this line just FUCKS) "All your deeds laid bare. All your sins punished. I can offer you an escape." BILL NIGHY DOES NOT PLAY ENOUGH VILLAINS

"Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different?"

Jack looking at the scene unfolding through his looking glass. Jones looking right back at him. Jack putting the glass down and Jones being RIGHT THERE. VIBES OFF THE CHARTS

"You can't talk your way out of this one, Jack" yet HERE HE IS BARGAINING THE WORTH OF HIS SOUL. And he tells Will, who is taken as down payment, is in love, betrothed even. And the impact that has on Jones. Not to mention how the key theme of Davy Jones, a man whose story is centered around love and heartbreak, starts playing for the first time. Fuck

Recruiting new men (sorry, cannon fodder to give to Jones) and Gibbs asking a potential crew member (Norringtonnn) what his story is. "My story... It's exactly your story, just one chapter behind." FUCK THATS SUCH A GOOD SUMMARY OF NORRINGTON'S CURRENT STATE

THE ORGAN VERSION OF DAVY JONES' THEME. The way the giant coral tubes coming out of it remind me of the arteries and veins of a heart. The way Jones still cries while playing it - cutting out his heart clearly didn't have the full intended effect, despite his cruelty that followed. (Here's the coolest fucking IRL version of that theme btw. You'll realise exactly where the phrase "pulling out all the stops" comes from)

Wyvern, a man so long for his debt on the Dutchman he's becoming one with the wood. That fucks

LIAR'S DICE. There's an extended version of the scene and here is an analysis of why the long version fucks actually and how it's a masterclass on writing plot and character development subtly

"Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake... the Kraken."

And then when you see the true scale of it. The way it snaps a ship in half and pulls it beneath the wave. That kinda fucks

"The boy's not here. He must have been claimed by the sea. "I am the sea." Mr Jones i think that's a point of contention the root of which caused your relationship problems and everything that followed

Leaning into the chest and hearing an actual heartbeat

Jack abandoning the Pearl during the Kraken attack, then checking his compass and for the first time it works, telling him what he wants most. We don't see what it points to, but based off what he tells Elizabeth in the first film, my guess is the Pearl, which in his mind represents freedom

The absolutely HAUNTING memorial of Jack at Tia Dalma's cabin, underscored with the sound of Will's knife hitting the table over and over. The deep despair. Tia Dalma saying she knows how Will hoped to use the Pearl to chase down Davy Jones and save his father. The way she jumps on the slightest glint of them being willing to try and repair what has happened. She wants Will to go after Jones. Because after all, she's taken steps to help the crew for the inevitable moment Jack would lose and needed saving:

BARBOSSA'S BACK BABEYYYY AND LOOKING MORE ALIVE AND THRIVING THAN EVER

Special shoutout to the three-way fight in the chapel and on the waterwheel, it's silly and a little slapstick-y but it DOES have some cool choreography and really cool moments! Clearly an attempt to recreate the fight in the workshop from the first film, and while it doesn't succeed in the same way (not quite to the rhythm of the music like in the first film, little to no character development revealed like we saw in film 1), but the scenery is vibrant, the choreography is good, the ever-changing alliances fun and the scene IS memorable!!

#anne speaks #potc #i've already mentioned the less good stuff in my earlier post about this film #the slapstick bs. the cannibal bit (FUCK that whole sequence) #hell even the opening scene is completely unmemorable even tho it's at this big creepy haunting prison #there's crows visibly pecking people's eyes out!! jack escaping through a coffin!! it's all pretty gruesome!! #and i always forget it exists or what the fuck the purpose of that scene is #(it's where jack gains the drawing of the key that opens the chest of davy jones btw) #but yeah it takes a solid hour for this film to REALLY gain traction but once it does? some SOLID stuff there for a good while #long post

yall remember call of duty ghosts? well every now and then i do, and i recall fondly the one part that i actually went "ok that was cool." i feel like the whole campaign was meant to make you go "woah this is so cool!" but its was just kinda lame, except for this one part, and its near the end when a bucn of c-130 hurcules fly like ten feet above the ground and just drop a bunch of m1 abrahms out the back like not even slowing down just like "drive release the clutch and hit the gas as soon as we touch dirt." and then you just keep going dont slow dont just keep zooming its called Mobile Warfare not Start And Stop Warfare

#my stuff #call of duty #call of duty ghosts #the rest of the game is just kinda unmemorable for me

god. saw 4 was just bad

#unenjoyable and unmemorable </3 tje first 3 movies were so much better #quincy.txt

I’m sure a lot of people will be happy with the latest announcements from Discotek, but there was nothing I’ll likely buy this time around. No money or space rn so I’m having to be very picky with purchases. They did a good job on the Berserk cover design though!

#personal #ramblings #buy lyrical nanoha because magical girl titles don’t sell well #but also we picked up a trash heap like tonagura #which is dry af and one of the most unmemorable fanservice titles from the early 00s #idk man #i don’t like that the pickup of shoujo series relies on the success of non-shoujo titles #per nanoha #i get it #i’ve worked in the media #things need to sell #it’s just frustrating that this is the usual reprise for anything for women

every once in a while i remember abt how insane it was when i texted my father like "i've been getting into les mis recently & i remember that you were in it in college, who did you play again?" and he was like "oh my most notable character was pretty minor you probably wouldn't remember him from the movie [link to a grantaire wiki page]"

#ik ive described this before but it is still insane. #anyway so true hes literally minor and unmemorable #txt

[leconcombrerit]

Slacked off on my note taking and now I cannot for the life of me remember who the old man I have to help next is. Good reminder that I am nothing without an outside brain. I apparently saw him in early October it's not even that old god help me

#Two options : #Either he didn't answer the door #or he was fairly unmemorable #There's also the hidden third option #that the trauma was too bad and I tried to forget #I do remember a god awful couple #but like. I don't think it's them. I hope it's not. Please not them I will cry. #I think it was another name I also slacked off on gotta get back to business

The leafs should make the goal song a toronto classic like come outside by k money

Ultimately the leafs should embrace being old asf and extremely deeply cursed and very annoying. Hall and oates was perfect in this regard

#asks #either way: what they have now is so completely unmemorable it drives me up the wall

eurovision cancelled everyone has no taste throw the juries in the bin results are terrible we were robbed

#eurovision #juries giving all the ballads way too many points #should have been finland to win but we get sweden instead #there were loads of good songs this year and that one is so unmemorable

theres been a discussion of reeves vs nolan take on selina recently. someone said the nolan one was better and theyre currently getting dogpiled.. what is your take on whos better?

nolan unequivocally. i feel like people get caught up in nolan selina’s occasional sexy lines (which are cringe and i do dislike, to be clear) as a means to discredit the character altogether despite the fact that there’s so much emphasis put on selina having agency and liberty to do as she chooses, which is a quintessential aspect of her dynamic with bruce. he disapproves of her actions and methods at times but he respects her personhood and he doesn’t make choices for her bc obv he doesn’t have a right to but she would also never allow him to. their dynamic in the dark knight rises is great bc it is holistically predicated on a respect for her decisions, her bitterness, and her compassion. i do think there are other criticisms you can make as to how nolan selina sort of subtly reinforces the propaganda of the trilogy; i do not have the link at the moment but when reeves’s batman came out there was a youtuber who made a video comparing reeves selina to nolan selina and talked about how the latter’s whiteness did play into her ability to escape confinement and consequences easily, which when you juxtapose against the racism driving nolan’s casting and the recent shift to acknowledge selina as a potentially biracial character, can spark valid concerns as to limiting the potential class commentary she was actually capable of as a character (and i will address this later with respect to reeves selina). but that valid criticism aside my preference for nolan selina has to do with maintaining her character and relationship integrity, which to me is the most impt thing you can do in an adaptation. if the plot and circumstances will change, what you should at least try to do is maintain the core of the character, and nolan does that marvelously with selina and bruce (likely bc dixon, whose work the nolan movies are largely adapted from, actually tended to write these two well)

now, obv with reeves selina a huge reason for supporting her in comparison is the racial visibility, esp when you, again, consider why nolan originally rejected zoe for the role in his movies. and i do think that’s highly valid and frankly i want non-white selina, bc it makes her contentions with and distrust of the state as established in catwoman (1989) that much more palpable and worthwhile to explore. but a racebended casting doesn’t automatically do the work for you and there’s still a character integrity you have to maintain. and i think this is something not only reeves but dc writers at large tend to understand poorly. there’s so much racebending happening in comics these days and i do think it’s a useful vehicle but not as it’s actually used in practice. the changes are superficial rather than going to the root of the character. so i personally find reeves selina to be a huge insult to the character, bc rather than use that racebending as an opportunity to expand on selina and her hardline opposition to bruce and the state, it’s not really used to do much at all (which honestly can likely be attributed to the fact that everyone involved in making this script and plot was white!) and selina is instead regressed from what she was in the comic that reeves’s take on her was based on. catwoman (1989) and catwoman (1993) for that matter are huge novelties in selina’s history bc they are near insularly focused on her. we play by her rules and everyone else in the picture is a reactionary. the reeves movie turns this on its head bc now selina is subservient to bruce’s arc and to his decisions. he dictates what she does until she’s finally fed up with it, which we’re supposed to applaud despite the fact that bruce does nothing short of condescend to her and victim-blame a sex worker, and bc he ultimately saves her from her anger in the end so it’s romantic. the romance is the priority throughout the entire movie. there are brief moments of selina’s rebellion but as a whole she has no control over her arc bc bruce’s arc comes first. i also think the final scene where she says “the bat and the cat. has a nice ring to it” (or whatever it was, close enough) to be a complete misunderstanding of their dynamic at its inception. this movie purportedly based its selina on mindy newell’s work but somehow fails to recognize that mindy newell’s selina expressly disdained the idea of being associated with batman bc her independence and defiance was the entire point. even if you want to argue their dynamic in the movie is a reflection of what it has become in the comics now, those are depicting bruce and selina’s relationship with each other more than twenty years after they first met. it makes no sense to make selina so amenable to bruce in the beginning bc it completely undercuts the fact that she’s right in her class stance from the start. and it also seems to reiterate the prevalent misconception that for a romance to work between bruce and selina she has to soften her edges and anger, despite those being the exact things that made bruce attracted to and sympathetic of her

#sry this is so long.. i am very passionate about this 😔 #but all that being said i do want to repeatedly iterate that nolan is a racist piece of shit and i wholeheartedly support people #who condemn him for that. but i don’t think there’s a point in acting like the arc he wrote for her wasn’t good like why lie #i agree that most of nolan’s female characters tend to be terrible but selina to me is a rare exception on account of character integrity #with respect to comics. like i already said that’s the most important thing to me and it’s why #i Love nolan’s bruce and selina even though i think the dark knight trilogy as a whole is shitty and frankly unmemorable save for some #select moments. as are most nolan movies and hence why idc for his work generally #outbox

it’s so funny how much beef matt and trey had with the movie contact for YEARS. they loved to mention how much they hate that movie every season for a while there

#it’s not even that bad like. i would even argue it’s totally unmemorable
