Started this back in February when it was more topical but... I suppose no time is a good time for romance as far as Theo is concerned.

#doing a meme like the old deviantart days #good for the soul #theo #my draws #amaranthine #technically #i could ramble on about some of the choices here but perhaps it'd be best to let it speak for itself #also i think that's supposed to say “physical touch” but i couldn't find a font that matches to correct it #so my neurotic self had to leave the author's typo for the sake of aesthetic coherency #ok one piece of commentary: brain problems + highly repressed upbringing = where i put theo on the kinky slider. it had to be there #you should think less '50 shades' and more '50 year old guys waxing poetic about quicksand scenes in old adventure films' for that one #he's not a quicksand guy. but that's the vibe.

I really loved Nope. I can’t stop thinking about the scene when Emerald is talking about how she was supposed to train Jean Jacket and Pops never looked up at her at the window but OJ did. OJ acknowledged her and saw her. He named the Creature “Jean Jacket” as a way of saying, here’s the chance you wanted. The chance you never got. And she is the one who finally solved the puzzle and killed it/got it to leave. And she got her picture. I’m so proud of them, best siblings ever

#this movie was so good for so many reasons ljke it had the suspense it had the twisted inexplicable moments of pure horror #it had deep meaning connected to Viewing and Digesting and Taming #the siblings kept surprising me bc you can tell there’s moments where they don’t agree but they choose to stay together and fight together. #em chooses to stay and not run away leaving her brother to die w their horses #it’s just a beautiful film I’m so happy I watched it #I thought Steven Yeuns character was SO. fucked up. he obviously is so haunted by the violence of the past but makes a shrine to it. #spins it and uses it for social status. cheapening any lesson he may have learned about life and death into some idea that he’s ‘chosen’ #I want to keep ranting about this but I must continue Pondering #personal #a small diary entry #nope 2022

Imagine watching an adaptation of The Yellow Wallpaper where the husband was proven to be correct in his treatment of the narrator and you will begin to understand my problems with Poor Things (2023) as an adaptation (and, frankly, as a film).

#it's not even that i thought the book was that great! #but leaving out the part where “bella” has her say about how the previous 3/4 of the story was a silly sexist fairy tale #told by her loser husband is very weird! #the noms for best adapted screenplay and ruffalo are bad enough but the costumes literally hurt the storytelling in the film! #honesty the only nomination that it really deserved would have been dafoe (i would trade stone for robbie in best actress in a heartbeat) #this film is my whale in that i want to kill it with harpoons and also in the sense that the whale (2022) was also terrible #anti poor things #< if you're only following for saltburn or other content and you liked poor things go ahead and block that tag #i can't guarantee this will be the last rant i do about this film

Okay, having finished Glass Onion, it is a masterpiece on par with Knives Out...

I will actually lose my shit if I don’t get a romcom fic of Benoit Blanc and what’s-his-name Hugh Grant.

#knives out #benoit blanc #as a more serious review of the film... #I saw a lot of people wanting marta to be involved when the film was first announced #I stand by my feeling that that girl deserves her goddamn retirement leave her alone #I believe benoit has dinner with her when he's nearby #I love that the film continued Benoit getting emotionally attached to a fundamentally sweet and kind girl in an extreme circumstance #I want at least ten of these movies #I want Benoit Blanc to become a character like James Bond where the mantle gets passed down #oh my god it was incredible #(granted half the story was 'spoiled' by my wife noticing a nice bit of acting #but that in no way diminished my enjoyment of it #because contrary to what some people think about storytelling... the twist isn't the interesting bit #it's how you get there) #and it still managed to surprise us in such DELIGHTFUL ways

...So uh, basically bootleg Suicide Squad featuring not even a comic's accurate team but instead, just random characters picked randomly from throughout the MCU, including even character's that make zero fucking sense to be on the team???

#anti mcu #cant even make their own plot #just gonna go for another film plot instead #like looking into the team in comics and where did the government stuff come from #where did goverment sends them on missions come from #in comics history from looks of stuff they just form cause the avengers are...well...dead....like always with heroes dying in comics lol #but like theres no signs of government #but that is what you know the squad in dc are #a government formed team who have villains as members in exchange for time off their sentences #granted marvel aint copying why the villains do it #but they seem to be copying the government element #and yeah if anyone curious which members make no sense mcu wise #honestly only us agent actually makes sense lmao #bucky we know makes zero sense at this point as hes a hero at this point after being freed from hydra and such #ghost literally at the end of ant man 2 was said to be getting the cure she needs aka her motivation for villain stuff #taskmaster and red guardian literally ended black widow leaving with the freed black widows and such not doing evil stuff #hell taskmaster falls into same area as bucky: mindcontrol- so how the hell does she count as evil #yelena they can't seem to make their mind up on but i generally assume hawkeye show intended for her to not be doing evil sutff anymore #since she only sought revenge on hawkeye thats it #but once told the truth suddenly no longer evil stuff #like only US agent actually makes sense and the lady at the end of the line who i guess is attempt at mcu waller #which...good luck because waller is a good character while this one so far...isnt

no but why are the only good songs in Fighter's OST the three pre-release singles they put out + 3/4ths of the mixing on Mitti 😭😭😭😭 Vishal-Shekhar i trusted you and you failed me

#film: fighter (2024) #fighter #fighter 2024 #hrithik roshan #deepika padukone #anil kapoor #bollywood #local gay watches Bollywood.txt #never mind that Mitti is kind of a remix of Vande Mataram that's really not the point here. i finally got around to this #after adding the album to the playlist the minute it dropped and i'm still stunned what happened. there's a part in Mitti #towards the end of the song where the brass is louder than the lyrics themselves who did this to you!!!!!!!!! #is this a curse put on you bc of the iffy vibes of the trailer????????? were those last three songs ripped straight #from the film audio itself hence the wonky mixing and off feel and sh*t????????? can you overcome it all to in fact not actually #be anti-Pakistani in the film????????? #i'm not feeling Dil Banaane Waaleya and Bekaar Dil is like. your average kind of party bop feel #leaving in the playlist bc i feel like i can't delete it yet i need to listen to it a couple more times. the switch up in the second verse #is attempting to redeem the rest of the song but there's a chance that not even Shilpa can save this one. brb i need to cleanse my ears #with Heer Aasmani

[katatonicimpression]

yeah, that thing I said the other day, about how Marvel just fail to include sam or do anything good with him and then his comics do just okay, so they turn to the camera and asks "why would audiences do this?"

well, whoever said the mcu wasn't true to the comics?

#no but for real i am still really mad #don't want to clog people's feeds with more griping #but #if you want there to be hype for a character #you need to actually promote #and it just leaves this horrible situation #where it's all going to hinge on a film that's still over a year away #and saturated with hulk shit #and made the buckwild decision to include fucking sabra of all people and now they've painted themselves into a corner with that #which any idiot could've seen coming #urgh #i know it's just a film it's just a fictional character it's not actually important #but i'm so fucking mad about this

i just watched charlie's first qsmp vod and y'all weren't kidding that census thing is fucking terrifying

#qsmp #mcyt #crazwaz posted #like the whole scene where it appears just. wow. #idk what pronouns ppl have been using to refer to it im just gonna use it/its idk if thats the correct set ive just seen the one vod #idk how much sway i have given ive only seen the one perspective but god if you havent seen that any of the ppl there's povs its real good #its about 2 hours 35 minutes into his vod #just. wil charlie and quackity vibing and then jaiden running in yelling that theres 'a woman in the walls' #them all going to investigate and not hearing anything at first. talking over each other. #then charlie hears it too. and in the background you can see it slowly crouching and walking in but they dont see it #until quackity screams and then they all see it and theyre all screaming and they all realize theyve been cornered in #and they try to escape and block it in but then they realize its in creative mode and theyre freaking the fuck out #then they calm down when they realize its just trying to ask them questions #and while theyre typing in their books A CREEPER FUCKING EXPLODES BEHIND THEM #and as theyre freaking out and realizing theres like. 10 mobs behind them- including more creepers- #the census is cheerfully repeating 'yes! yes! yes!' and jumping up and down excitedly #like literally big fan of horror stuff here and that scene felt like it fit right in #very effective. loved it. like the bits with the duck being like 'you broke the one rule so you can never leave' felt very creepypasta #but the census guy felt like an actual horror short film or something. not to diss the duck or creepypasta yknow its just different flavors #the way it comes out of nowhere too is very effective. like charlie is doing his el backflippo bit when jaiden comes in #not even fully out of nowhere too! like the campier bits with the duck gives it precedence! #also yeah gay sex island charlie has already slept eith two guys and has flirted with many more #'are you.... cómo se dice en inglés.... circumcised?' #so funny tho thinking like. my number one favorite part of the vod is that scary census scene #number two is charlie singing about argentina #number three is charlie in the caves with roier mariana and fit and theyre talking about circumcision #10/10 love it. i was right tho it is fucking with my brain because im trying to learn japanese and my brain is now combining spanish with #japanese because my brain has sorted those two languages into one pile thats just 'a language i have very basic knowledge of' #so now every time i try to start a sentence in one of those languages the other one tries to creep in #i had that problem when i first started learning japanese and now it returns hasdfkjhasdkjfh

#ok so this essay assignment is about whether generative AI will help or harm humanity and all the readings relate specifically to artificial #intelligence being used in an education setting OR in an art setting (film industry etc) #so i'm saying why i think this is a Bad Idea #(not against all AI per se but why art? like literally leave art alone humans are already really really good at making good art) #ANYWAY #as i was writing this one paragraph it occurred to me #the thing being attacked when AI threatens to take over art/creativity is humans' ability and innate urge to Make #which is where I most often see the Image of God in us!!! #THAT IS WHY I DO NOT LIKE AI IMAGE GENERATORS AND WRITING PROGRAMS #the sub-creator in me rebels against it I think. how dare you try to mock something sacred with your pale substitutions. #college chronicles

it's incredibly apt to me that the spiderverse team specifically drew upon brutalism as the primary style for the architecture of spider society because it's a style simultaneously linked to this notion of raw honesty (because you expose the material laying at the core of the structure) + social wellfare (as concrete was relatively cheaper to use and thus you got a lot of cheaper housing utilising this style), egalitarian by nature - it all looks the same, function over form etc.

but it ended up also getting associated with the structural flaws present in social wellfare systems by virtue of where it was applied as well as it being a style that's quite intense by nature (some would even argue ugly fjdfjk), and thus you get people implicitly associating it with those structural flaws and thinking of it as oppressive, even though the movement wasn't like. intentionally trying to cultivate that impression or be utilised in such a way.

which is interesting to me because that kind of duality works perfectly with the kind of tonal shift miles goes through when operating in that environment. spider society is at first wonderous and bright and brilliant, evocative of endless possibilties and stylistically almost like a large concrete web. but when miles is failed by that system, the large concrete web becomes constraining and suffocating.

hell, the idealogical roots of brutalism even work to an extent with the idealogical roots of spider society. neither was cultivated with the active intent to cause harm, and they're both associated with the desire to promote a future that is providing for the people utilsing it, but ultimately it's a tool. and any tool can be one that, inadvertently or otherwise, causes harm.

#the analogy and connections im drawing OF COURSE only extends so far as spider society is moreeee. an anaolgy #for the harm that's perpetuated if you subscribe to belief systems that exclude anomalous traits/experiences #<- and even THAT becomes messy because the very nature of the stakes naturalises that belief system as having legit concerns #but that analogy is also secondary in the story's priorities to providing a lens for the characters to be able to interact w the #suffering in their lives and qustion what purpose it holds - if any #so miles shocking miguel is tonally a celebration of the idea that you should leave systems that fail to support you in the way they should #but it's tonally an endorsement of miles having hope where miguel has succumbed to despair #spiderverse is very fond of using emotional shorthand (this isnt a criticism - its just acknowledgement of what its doing) and i think esp #in a film designed to be understood by teenagers/older kids and w a strict runtime this kind of technique is effective #even if it inherently has some drawbacks (naturalisation of the stakes if youre not careful about how you write the solution to those stake #its trying to say a lot with a broad emotional sweep and thats hard and shit can get lost in the water or implications not accounted for #but hey thats the fun of critical analysis #tunes talks spiderverse #long post

it's so wild to me that. like i do not like dogs. they're just not for me. I usually politely tolerate them and I think puppies are cute and all but I would not ever own a dog. EXCEPT. my parents dog rockne. I don't know what it is. like whenever im hanging out w him i understand what people see in dogs for one brief moment. he's such a good boy.

#genuinely i think its the texture of their fur. most dogs ive met have that oily/filmy fur #where they leave a gross smelly film on your hands after you pet them #rockne feels. his fur feels almost synthetic. like the texture of fur on a faux fur pillow at target in 2007. #and he isnt stinky because he HAS to get bathed regularly bc of his breed. #and beyond that hes just a very calm and affectionate pubby. i love him. #carly.txt

#wendell and wild #wendell & wild #my goodness the amount of details shown within the few seconds of this scene is amazing #Kat's boots leaving snow-prints on the hard wood floor and each step having less snow #the general disrepair of the house- the walls deteriorating and some trash littering the floors- #the wall being dirty and being slightly more clean where the family paintings had been hung over- #the fact you can see remnants of her parents foot steps on the floor #the picture frames on the floor- the boxes that were never moved #i love this film so much
