#male directors

[guavagyal]

Sam Levinson (and most men w a camera) has no business making media for women & girls bc he never came to the realization teenage girls go through when they're alone in their room. Hayao Miyazaki gets a pass because he gets it.

Just finished watching The Exorcist for the very first time, after hearing the stories for years about the curse of the movie. But the actual curse for me was watching a documentary afterwards detailing how the director manipulated young Linda Blair and basically tortured his cast (especially the women) on set, firing shots randomly to scare them, giving both the main actresses spinal injuries both by being neglectful with equipment (or worse, actively encouraging the stunt men to push them harder) then keeping their screams of pain in the final cut. The real curse to me is these men holding positions of power in our society and being "renowned" and "creating a classic" after abusing women.

I watched Starship Troopers tonight.

#personal #dumb #my art #immediately after finishing i was pumped to watch some analysis vids on it #cuz i heard a lot of the drama about the original author being a pro military fascist and the director going “fuck that” and making a satir #scrolling through youtube search results was not promising. lots of male film buffs i would Not trust even on a first glance. #“The Critical Drinker” (pfp of a bearded man drinking alcohol) lol. #and then I saw cinemawins did a video on it and was like oh nice i haven't seen his stuff in a while but he's a pretty leftist creator #scrolled through the comments #second panel face #this sucks i'm outta here. #just leagues and leagues and leagues of anime pfps and right leaning people dogpiling on him for “not understanding what fascism is” #idk it's pretty alien and weird to me watching this movie and going “wow yeah that was pretty obvious huh” like literally the from opening #to the teacher preaching militance and only giving voting rights to “those who serve their nation first and earn it” #and then seeing droves of people online going #WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? It's not anti-fascist and even if it was it's #the director's fault for desecrating heinlein's incredible sci-fi epic vision. ermm media literacy is dead.

Actresses being tortured on the set by male directors is a massive historical and present day scourge of the film and TV industries and it's really SO common when you look into it. like from Kubrick terrorizing Shelley Duvall (and only her) on the set of the shining to Tarantino strangling Diane Kruger until she passed out to Hitchcock replacing fake birds with real birds after Tippi Hedren rejected his advances (in order to scare and physically injure her as a punishment for not fucking him) to James Cameron almost literally drowning Kate Winslet to an actress on GOT being waterboarded ten hrs straight to get like a minute of footage to Brando improvising an unscripted rape scene on the last tango in Paris set with the directors permission that ended up traumatizing Maria Schneider (in fact quite a lot of the gratuitous, graphic rape scenes in film were included for the sadistic pleasure of the male directors at the expense of the actresses).

The list goes on and on and I could seriously talk for ages about how revolting it is that these men still have active careers bc the industry just tolerates it. No piece of art is worth inflicting this disgusting and unnecessary abuse on actresses (and it's ALWAYS the actresses isn't it, never the actors. Hmmm wonder why). We call these men auteurs and geniuses but they're really just pathetic abusive sacks of shit. I want to impale every male director who behaves like this and I want their rotting corpses displayed as a part of the universal studios tour.

#the excuses ppl use to defend them are so pathetic too. ''oh they just want to draw out the best performance'' BUUUULLSHIT #1) if that was true why is it only actresses being abused #2) how come other accomplished directors dont do this but still manage to make great movies. perhaps bc its TOTALLY UNNECESSARY #male directors are as a whole some of the most demented individuals in all of showbiz & thats saying smth #as a wannabe director myself it makes me extremely sad bc its so hard for a woman to break into directing yet men like this still get to #make movies and continue being psychopaths to their actresses??? fuck off

Us at the start of Dracula Daily: Jonathan is such a fun and engaging character! I heard adaptions don’t know what to do with him, I wonder why that is?

Jonathan: *is a male survivor of abuse that leaves him with severe symptoms from that trauma that don’t fit with masculine ideals*

Us: …Ah.

#dracula daily #jonathan harker #abuse cw #no WONDER the male directors hate him

really and truly unless it's a discussion about why peggy/steggy fans shouldn't like endgame, at this point idk why people feel the need to continually make the argument about her having a family as if that's the biggest problem about the ending especially when i figure most people are of the belief that it was another timeline or whatever idk what the current consensus on that is in the mcu and i don't care

but what about the fact that it destroyed steve's family? does that not matter because it's not the standard spouse and children but is instead a family he built for himself with sam and nat and bucky? because it's easier to decide steve is a selfish asshole and always has been instead of acknowledging that that storyline did more of a disservice to him than to anyone else? like oh maybe peggy's family was erased and that's horrible but it doesn't matter that steve's family was abandoned in the midst of the kind of trauma he knows very well?

i've said it before but it makes me so sad that so many people just turned on steve and decided a decade of movies don't matter in the face of one shitty desperate attempt of a movie to make him look like a pathetic creep just so they could justify their heterosexual nonsense ending

#steve rogers #anti steggy #anti endgame #also just occurred to me how part of the whole bullshit about not undoing five years #was so tony's daughter wouldn't be erased (even though like hey pepper could've already been pregnant in iw and it would've been fine) #but they had no qualms about peggy's family (since the writers and directors didn't even agree about the timelines) #bc peggy does not matter as anything other than steve's love interest lol and they just continue showing that as far as i can tell #marvel does not care about her as being anything but part of a ship that only ended up together #as a fulfillment of male fantasies and to try to squash stevebucky #so idk why fans are so defensive of marvel on that front #in the end anything redeeming that they wrote for her character was negated and stripped down so she's just a girlboss and a prize #neither of which are good things no matter how hard y'all try to put a feminist spin on it!

"Netflix’s Live-Action ‘Avatar’ Series ‘Took Out How Sexist’ Sokka Was in the Original: ‘A Lot of Moments’ in the Animated Show ‘Were Iffy’"

Not a huge fan of this honestly. It was integral to Sokka's character to grow out of that shitty mentality and how it was done was really cool too: Sokka actually had to listen to women and empathise with them, Suki especially and then he even wore her clothes as a symbol of that. I hope they kept the Northern Water Tribe sexism plot at least though I think it was much more powerful when the character we were supposed to spend time with and even LIKE acted sexist. (Also the portrayals of systematic misogyny leave a lot to desire as well)

Girls' first experiences with direct sexism and misogyny usually come from their own family after all especially from their fathers/brothers. Those elements only improved Avatar's story and added more weight to the themes of its fantasy setting.

#the cynical person inside me speculates if the director was afraid that people wouldn't take a male character seriously #if he wore women's clothes like Sokka does with Suki's battle outfit #avatar the last airbender #sarasade text #this is what they call 'squeecore' nowadays I think

men who can't drive

best tropes

friends to lovers

men who can drive

love on purpose, love that's intentional, love that's not rotten work because it's you

#mie.txt #been watching two shows back to back where the female lead is not only insufferable but so is her choice in men #as are all the other side characters' boyfriends #its crazy to see just how terrible a man's influence on writing women is #bc it's not even in women its in how they take back men that are the worst that are bad for them #and how hes always forgiven and grows but she doesnt #im not usually a movie watcher either but ive been using them to time my studying and GOD male directors are the worst too? #its so strange to think about because yeah men as a class are so intentionally sinister when theyre in power #but also so blissfully unaware when theyre subject to the influence of those in power that they end up (accidentally?) gaslighting everyone #else around them #idk idk idk idk idk #idk boys in real life can be and are so cute when theyre in love #theyre so so so cute #so why is that so hard to translate on screen #or like... why the unwillingness to do so???? #anyway...... hiiiiii im finished w my semester does anyone wanna talk about levi and gojo 😁😁

So Barbie was man hating but Animal should be taken as a movie

#samridhi speaks #the amount of abusive words and reviews that were hurled towards barbie and now some guy friends and other male reviewers make reels about #how animal should be seen as a movie #you know i was rooting for him because he was standing up for his sister yeah the method was violent but movies are exaggerating anyway #but then the affair with zoya him telling his brothers whatever that shaadi mein darr hona zaruri hai #nobody gives a fuck about how women got triggered about the cheating and the way he talks to his wife after screwing up his marriage #yeah a movie just a movie #barbie was terrifying for men right but for what making them realize that men aren't the centre attraction of a girl/woman's world and they #can just exist for themselves and celebrate their existence as women doing their own things behing happy #the director himself talks about that if you can't touch kiss slap your wife anywhere anytime i don't think there is any love emotion #existing #the fuck

I'm so into this

#john relyea #accidentally bisexual opera #he's doing bluebeard's castle at the ENO #and the mezzo playing judit is indisposed #so the role is being sung by someone else #but the physical acting is done by the (male) assistant director #and i want to see it so bad

Of all the men in all the world. This fella!

There is something intrinsically attractive when such a Mr. is focused on his craft. Boris Schipper IS handsome personified. Lordy that profile is some kinda man perfection.
