#but in the context of the film only

[streets-in-paradise]

It may be absolutely unfaithfull to the true characterization, but I love Troy version of Agamemnon. As a villian he is fucking hilarious, just check on this:

The inside of the throne room of his palace in Mycenae

and now look at the inside of his tent in the greek camp

It looks literally the same, he made it be copied in every detail ... Even the fucking throne.

His throne is right there, i can't get over that. It is unclear if the motherfucker has a replica or may have ordered the original be carried away to Troy with him

#troy 2004 #troy #agamemnon #brian cox #what a fun asshole #is like the writers of the film took two main traits of agamemnon #pride and lack of self awareness #and wrote an imperialist clown of a king with that #they read “dude so ambitious he sacrificed his daughter to get the war” #and were like so... every negative stereotype applied to rancid modern politicians pushing imperialist warfare #he takes the “ fuck agamemnon ” feeling to a whole new level #i do feel sorry for OG agamemnon #he is a complex character #but in the context of the film only #I can't help loving it

watched saltburn and really fucking liked it actually. day 5937 of realising people on tiktok are just cowards

#‘IT’S SO WEIRD’ do you think that was like. an accident. do you not think it’s supposed to be weird and unsettling and a little ridiculous #and the way it’s FILMED godddd the scenes were all so well shot #I’ll admit I spent the first hour not impressed at all bc I thought it was a really stale class take #like the moment I saw they were oxford students my face was just 😐😐😐 #AND THEN I was kinda getting into it but thought they were gonna make the only working class kid the villain so I was still 😐😐😐 #BUT THEN. BUT. THEN #I need to rewatch with full context so I can appreciate it properly #watching edits of it on tiktok like im gonna skip all the coquette vids romanticising the lifestyle but my GOD have some people popped off #w the creepy/obsessive audios. the people who get it truly get it #him in the maze with the antlers. real as fuck #just for people to be like ‘am i the only one who couldn’t finish it 😰’ SORRY YOU HATE FREAKISH MEDIA #saltburn

Donald Sutherland on Snow's relationship with Katniss (audio on obvs)

Donald Sutherland discusses Snow's relationship with Katniss extensively in interviews but these aren't very well known, so I ripped the relevant audio and set it to clips from the films, as well as using some pieces from the DVD extras. I cleaned up the audio the best I could but these are from a diverse range of sources so forgive the unevenness.

I didn't intend this to come out so... erotic(???) but Sutherland just talks Like That

#the hunger games #president snow #katniss everdeen #donald sutherland #“her being is palpable in his mouth” jesus christ donald #that very first clip is strictly referring to his love for his rose garden #(which he also describes as the only sensuality in the film) #but given that the roses primarily exist in the context of his relationship w katniss i thought it was fair to include

okayokayokay ill shut up after this but before i go just look at him putting his arms & red patches up over his head to look more Big and Scary like.. . . yeah yeah buddy we get it u r venomous and Birds oughta Think TWICE Before They Mess With You and also this is DEFINITELY not going 2 come back to haunt Anyone at Any Point EVER

#talking tag #spider-man 2099 #spiderman 2099 #miguel o'hara #across the spider-verse #atsv #(disheartened) lads i dont know if he will Bite That Teenager. strongly a-fearing that he really just might not have his paralyzing bite :{ #cause like FR if youre both unmasked and miles is Running Away. and YOU dont want him to run away. then WHY not try 2 bite him? #but when we see miles as theyre fightin. his suits torn up yes but he doesnt have any (visible) Fang Punctures #which means! for Some Damn Reason! either mig is just Letting Miles Run for the #-sake of whatever his Motivation in this film is (aka it only makes sense with context). Or. OR. they just FORGOT HES VENOMOUS >:{ #listen to me atsv LISTEN to me you already fuckign gave him an abe lincoln head if he doesnt even have his fangs im turning into tha joker #no group tetanus shots bcuz mig got freaked out nd started biting ppl.... <:(

There’s a little flame between us. It’s always burning. And I’ve come to believe that tending a fire like that is purpose enough for any life.

Le Soldatesse (1965)

#anna karina #le soldatesse #honestly such a great beautiful classic movie... could've gone wrong at literally every turn but manages it so well #as feminist as a film made in this genre/era/by men can be and i'm not even being ironic this time #genuinely sad that anna karina is most noted for her godard movies when she was literally the most interesting outside of those #like she has a character w depth to work with which cannot be said of the godard movies but this always happens w actresses #only appreciated in a certain context generally tied to some man and the rest of her career is ignored #regardless she is given the space to shine here and she really carries it. queen #the camp followers #valerio zurlini #60s #mine

Salò thoughts ten days after watching it because I’ve finally processed it.

the four fascists calling themselves ‘the true anarachists’, nominally advocating for social freedom, praising ‘sodomy’ for its subversive nature and ability to collapse social and moral boundaries, art and aestheticism to facilitate their activities — all of it building up to posit that all acts are morally neutral in and of themselves & that their morality is dependent on who propagates them, in what context, and to what effects. brilliant and devastating. very in line with the bibliography at the beginning of the film.

‘they don’t realise that the bourgeoisie has never hesitated to kill its children’ rawest line in film probably

the musician(?) was my favourite character for her role in the story: choosing hollow humour to drown out her brief moment of outspoken horror during the wedding + her ‘suddenly’ realising the gravity of the situation and ending her life were a good representation of apathy that does not exempt one from complicity.

the closing scene and the dream of Marguerite outside of all this horror but still connected to it. I want to kms

#log. #film. #salò #of course the system is inescapable the only options are reinforcement (children turning on one another) #or death (the musician + ezio and the maid) is a bleak message #but given the irl context and well the extent of truth in it. yeah I get it #sorry if I got any names wrong I was a mess by the. well like twenty minutes into the film

i just had to do it again for my girl terri

#terri yamamoto #as far as i can remember terri is less based on tv shows or movies but more based on vibes lol #well idk she was based a lot on chiaki kuriyama and idol culture in japan #not that chiaki is an idol but it is very common for idols in japan to do inappropriate photos (for minors at least) #i also based her on the idea of child modelling in japan and how it was very common in the '90s for whole ass children to pose nude #to this day you do not have to look that hard for these types of photos of certain japanese celebrities #not all of them are super inappropriate but we should not be letting child models pose nude in any context #ive also seen a lot of movies from the 2000s and 2010s that just show like mundane japanese life that i based some of her life off of #but ultimately i was intrigued by the ideas of a child celebrity who grows up and just wants to escape it all at any cost but it still #finds her #and the incredible void and self-destructive behaviors that depression can cause #AND a tiny bit of inspiration of mima from perfect blue #none of the psychological horror themes of the film but just the idea of her being famous and how it started to destroy her #anyway this is long and most of her story is only in my head or just not shared here yet so this is probably confusing #tag game #nonsims

ok so apparently i can just never articulate my Deep Thoughts on purpose and can only do it by accident whilst rambling in the notes of a bookmark where the veneer of anonymity feels like a false-protective coat to hide behind, or somesuch-something like that. idk. anyways. anyways. i don't like how fucking mean-spirited across the spider-verse as a film seemingly is for literally no reason at all other than just bcuz it Could Be. y/k.

#talking tag #atsv #spider-man #spider-man 2099 #miguel o'hara #miles morales #suicide mention #suicide tw #& i am talking abt the Actual Textual Content of atsv btw not the Fandom Interpretation of it. bcuz those r 2 different things lmao. #every additional piece of context that we learn abt the behind-the-scenes too. it just. Sours this film to me. like drinking rotten milk #only ONE person outside of his family unconditionally supports miles. ONE. ONE!!!!!!!!!! the whole film!!!! #(obie obie broauwn i hate the AM i hate the PM u will live in my heart for ever) #and Knowing now how much the writers obviously didnt give a shit abt Mig.. it all just reads like that rotten any1 can wear the mask but yo #and that echoes in the narrative disdain for the one other spider-man in the whole movie whose origin is /like miles/. #who DID have a spider-man in his world who died before he got his powers who IS motivated by fear by wanting 2 be good but thinking he cant #You Cant Wear This Mask. The Only People Who Are Like You Actually LIKE You Are Twisted And Wrong And Warped Inevitably By That Wrongness. #Nobody Will Ever Understand What You Have Been Through And You Were Stupid And Naive To Ever Try Otherwise. You Petulant Child. #and the spider society treats miguel like shit like im honestly surprised that was just such a Casual Thing in the movie but no #they microaggress him 2 hell and back they insult him to his face they do not respect his boundaries they flat-out just Dont Respect Him #and he Takes It. of course he takes it. it is Literally All He Knows. taking it and hating himself and knowing that he is Different. #Christ almighty. what a shitshow.

Calling any cg animated film with a stylised 2D inspired aesthetic “like Spiderverse” or Spiderverse-esque” is starting to become the animation equivalent of describing any experimental movie with a disturbing, uncanny or surreal tone “Lynchian”.

#puss in boots the last wish #puss in boots 2 #spiderman into the spiderverse #spiderman #like I get it #Spiderverse is having a significant influence on how studios like Dreamworks are stylising their films and everything #and it’s safe to say bad guys and puss in boots 2 wouldnet look the way they do #would simply not turn out the way they did without Spiderverse proving that not only could a 2d styled character feature film work visually #but also be very successful box office wise #…but like #you guys do know 3D/2D style hybrid films existed before Spiderverse right? #you know Sony pictures animation and marvel didn’t single gandedly invent the concept of a cgi cartoon that looks/movies like 2d animation #right?? #and that hundreds of diffrent artists and studios from america to Japan have been experimenting with heavily stylised cg for actual decades #before Spiderverse came along #right???? #like I’ll give the benefit of the doubt most people who call The Bad Guys Arcane or Puss 2 “Spiderverse like are simply just #not well read on the subject and history of this style of animation #so I don’t want to sound like I’m punching down at others for simply lacking context on certain things #but at the same time something about it just really irks me because by constantly comparing these distinct and unique looking films #to one film that shares a similar technique just bothers me #as someone said before; Spiderverse is like a comic book come to life #the bad guys is like a cartoon (or to me anyway a cartoony anime) #and Puss in boots 2 is like a lush concept art painting come to life #all of these films while using a similar method have their own distinctive identity and style #and by some animation fans calling Puss in boots 2 or bad guys “like Spiderverse it just feels very reductive and dismissive of these films #and thier respective creators unique creative identities and voices #again it’s a similar reason to why I and other hate it when some film bros call any experimental art film Lynchian #it just undermines what makes that work unique to itself and the artist who made it
