#out of context scenes from a movie

Dahomey (2024) dir. Mati Diop

Mati Diop (Atlantics) just won the Golden Bear at Berlin and shouted “I stand with Palestine!” as she accepted her award. Her film deals with the returning of plundered royal treasures from the African Kingdom of Dahomey from Paris to the present day Republic of Benin.

#undeniable #neotai's song #mati diop #master teacher #free gaza #free palestine #Palestine #dahomey #cinema #German arts scene revealed itself to be deeply anti Palestinian and even more racist and Islamophobic than previously thought #cutting funding for anyone who dares to speak out about palestine so this was a great venue for Palestine to be mentioned within... #Germany standing on the wrong side of history…again and again...but german activists outchea raising hell... #you saw how they turned hilary clinton's cinema for peace (the AUDACITYYYYY) event upside down #MUCH RESPECT TO THOSE ACTIVISTS #and to mati showing out #look forward to seeing the movie as atlantics was dope and needs a rewatch tbh #the 'after atlantics' marketing is dope cos black artists are so often cut off from their own continuity and context by the establishment #movies

ok sorry i didn’t go insane over emesis blue like i thought I would but it is making me scared irl now. i can’t turn over in bed bc what if there’s a severed head positioned like it’s peaking around the doorframe. what if i look over and The Butcher is there

#genuinely that scene was the scariest part of the whole movie to me. a weird guy appear (your mom is also dead) #anyway i have a question. is the butcher a timeloop iteration of spy. like how the plague doctor is thought to be a future timeloop medic #my only thinking is The Butcher Looks Pretty Badly Burned Under That Mask. Spy Got Pretty Badly Burned Adn Started Wearing A Mask #but like the butcher is pretty clearly pyro’s model #and like why would spy timeloop torture his past self #also i think it was implied that the butcher and medic(unknowingly) orchestrated scouts kidnapping #and spy and medic kinda. didn’t get along HDBSHBEHDHSB #idk ive watched the movie twice now #emesis blue #ask to tag #words from the monarch #also is it accurate to call it a time loop. idk what else to call it. but like what was happening to soldier like the convo with demoman a #and throwing the crowbar/getting hit with the crowbar would be timeloop shit right. #there are timeloop ELEMENTS but im not saying the whole story is a timeloop. yknow #also this movie is kinda funny to read stuff about out of context when you already deeply know tf2. they sure put these guys in A Situation

haven’t been online much lately and i finally come back only to see a million screenshots of the boruto game with naruto and sasuke doing the “you’re my friend” scene part two electric boogaloo??? like i don’t watch boruto but yall cannot tell me they’re still acting THAT in love in a series where they are married to other people and have kids??? like is it just an understood thing that they’re all in some weird poly relationship with each other what is happening these screenshots are ABSURD

#why are they in front of a sunset like that #why did they do the ‘person they love breaks them from the mind control trope’ #why does sasuke have extra shiny in love eyes and smile #??????? #like yall are showing me this scene out of context #if i didn’t know naruto i would tell you thats like act 1 of the most romantic movie you’ve ever seen #im really just not interested in boruto and don’t care to know most of its lore and such #but seriously WHAT IS HAPPENING #it’s still gay?????????? how???? #i thought it was the straight anime of the century?? #(minus kakagai ive seen that and it’s so right for that) #but also wtf i am So Confused

Decided to binge watch the entirety of Pokémon Generations again because it's been a few years since I last saw it and uh

Is it just me or is it a lot more fucked up than I remember

#Pokémon #Pokémon Generations #I GENUINELY CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE THAT SOME OF THESE ARE ACTUAL HONEST TO GOD SCREENSHOTS FROM OFFICIAL POKÉMON CONTENT #Featuring fun family friendly scenes of cute doggies burning to death! #A nuked ancient civilization! #A scene of frozen corpses right out of The Day After Tomorrow and Geostorm but drawn in Pokémon art style! #Team Aqua getting felled by hubris and devoured by Primal Kyogre! #Whatever the fuck Courtney has got going on! #I would have included Groudon blowing up Hoenn and incinerating Team Magma but I wanted to include only one screenshot from that episode #For variety #Also that scene of Mimi the Espurr getting punted like a football. :( #It's like the animators thought Hey This Is Only For YouTube and Only Older Kids are On YouTube Anyway So We Can Be Edgy :) #I saw Pokémon The Power Of Us in cinemas and they showed the Legendary Beasts backstory episode as a short before the movie #Only problem the audience was filled with the elderly and parents taking their kids to see Funny Cute Pokémon Movie #So I was pretty much the only one who had context for WTF we just witnessed #Actually that short caused one family to get up and leave :) #Imagine not knowing anything about Pokémon and taking your four year old to see Funny Cute Pokémon Movie #Only to have to take your crying kids out of the theatre cause they got traumatised by watching animated dogs burn alive #All before the movie even started #Core childhood trauma memory formed right there #Actually now that I remembered the old lady in The Power of Us had a traumatic backstory of witnessing her Snubbull burn to death in a fire #Number of animated dogs dying in a fire in this one cinema trip: 4 #Like what the actual fuck

Honestly, I'm beginning to think film adaptions of books should include a "watch after reading" or "watch before reading" label

#Im finally watching Gone Girl just after I've finished reading it #and it feels a bit hard to watch because a lot of lines are just characters saying narration as dialogue #or a really heavy-handed effort to bring in small elements from the novel without the context #and a lot the movie scenes feel like three lines of dialogue acted out for us #it's me being nitpicky but it actually makes it hard to watch for me bc I'm so strongly aware of why that line is being said #to the poinf where it feels forced for the character to say it

What is your interest with PussDeath?

? is this question a translation error? but i can tell you the weird start on me shipping them. funnily enough, i don't jump on the ship right away because i hadn't figure it out how their dynamic is yet at that time (no because for the love of god and thousands burning suns i CANNOT do the "oh this one is automatically the guy/girl in the relationship right away, that's BORING to me, sorry ,and i think that doesn't do justice to their character, to reduce them to just that when they could be so much more?), and death x puss x kitty is the one that actually help with that! i even consider shipping him with kitty first! (gasp, blaphsemy i know! but i saw a fun potential there, but if you only see the guy/girl again of course it wont make sense, but if you're willing to see past that, you can see the possibilities) and then i noticed their parallels and things snowballs from there

#yep dont expect “normal romance” from me! 🤣 #i like fucking things up and proud of it #it just feel makes more sense that way and make their character/personality matters more too #yes despite the grab and whisper scene in the movie #i need some time to figure out how will it go with them after the movie #or in another context where they meet without the whole baggage #pib2 hc

Okay, after rewatching Phineas and Ferb Across the Second Dimension, which came out in 2011, I need to know if the first Avengers movie- which came out in 2012- copied it, or if it was just a weird coincidence that both movies have an interdimensional portal with a seemingly endless evil army coming out of it set on the top of a weird looking building in the middle of a city that they have to fly up and close after a showdown with the villain?

#phineas and ferb #avengers #also that scene where they're 'going clockwise through the multiverse' #reminds me of the scene in GoTG 2 where rocket yondu and groot are trying to get to ego's planet and keep flying through portals ajghfalksd #also I will lament AGAIN that we didn't get a phineas and ferb/gravity falls crossover because it would be GREAT #if this movie had come out a few years later there could've been a shot of ford somewhere as they're dimension hopping #or bill ajfhlksagdjfas #also the whole 'mad scientist builds portal to another dimension. memory erasure happens' is also a hilarious connection #basically I'm now questioning if a lot of people watched P&F and decided 'you know what that's a fun idea I'mma use that' #mostly marvel because there's just. there's just so many coincidences otherwise xD #the portal the evil army the showdown on the roof #begs the question if thor had given loki one of his childhood toys he'd lost would he have calmed down then? xD #anyway #this is all very funny to me #this movie was funny without context but it's definitely better with the context of the show #for ages this movie was literally where all my knowledge of P&F came from xD

if you can gush constantly about enjoying a piece of media but diss the idea of people disliking the same thing unless/even though they provide detailed reasoning or proof with citations... idk I feel like you need to reassess something

#''how can you hate on--'' it is a movie! and even worse - a marvel movie! and yet more even it's biggest crime yet - it is a terrible one ! #it makes no pretense of consistency with the rest of the 'cinematic' universe it alleges to come from ! #the character acts like nothing of itself in the previous movie appeared in ! #there is no character arc nor development of any character save for in the villain's final breaths ! the flimsy morality of such regret ! #the humour is subpar in that it is reliant on gags - a cheap and desperate tactic to make weak comedy appear stronger ! #for all that it speaks of love and grief the writing is poor and smart decent lines do not fit the context they are spoken in ! #nor the characters speaking them thematically ! #there is either too much unexplained occurring or nothing taking up too much time. this pacing and convenient exposition is bland ! #final denouement carries little to no weight ! #fight scenes are badly choreographed despite the genre + there is dubious camerawork in play on top of it which further breaks immersion ! #it seems unable to decide on the rules of the world it has itself established ! #ending cliffhangers can be good but in this instance feels as though done constantly solely to encourage watching the next product ! #character interactions leave much to be desired and motivation to move the story forward tend to be convoluted at best ! #what was once original characterization built on relevant events to flesh the character feels generic by both writing and presentation ! #outfits make no attempt to look like they're authentic materials (plastic? :/ ?) and the CGI is problematically attained AND poor quality ! #the 'inspiration' drawn from comic religious and myth source material is either offensive meaningless easter eggs or both ! #maybe the move was generic and formulaic and difficult to follow along without other pieces of media and boring to top it off ! #someone out there seems to believe sexualizing the men is a solution ! #characters I have interest in were sidelined or mistreated by the narrative ! #racist casting/roles have been given and the product did not reflect how it was advertised ! #maybe............. someone simply did not have fun watching it .......................... has that been.........considered................? #L + based + ratio + Ctrl+Z + must I say more? #no one owes anyone an explanation to their enjoyment or lack thereof of a piece of media and shouldn't be insulted for it smh #now if someone gives reasons and THOSE are dodge... but no this isn't about that. another time then

girl who can’t make it one episode of shadow and bone without crying 😐. wild hypothetical person i’m glad i don’t know her lol

#anyway. so jesper has secretly been grisha this whole time? crazy. i don’t really know what any of that means within context but cool #i’ll be real i mostly just tune out his scenes. i’m literally here for alina and kanej…. what else do you want from me #🪲 #i do like him more now but still he’s always gonna be a) from my DESTESTSD movie. and b) a netflix original side character comic relief man

every director to ever make a movie adaptation of literally any of shakespeare’s tragedies: holy shit but what if we STARTED the film with the funeral before flashing back oh my god so genius

#shakespeare movie adaptation bingo: starting with a funeral an out of context line from the play or The Sea™️ #wow so poignant #i get it but damn a LOT of them do it #like bestie it really is not necessary to make me watch the pallbearers walk for five minutes #yall got time for this slow opening funeral scene before the opening credits but CUT so much important shit smh #im not salty #not anime

I love behind the scenes content for shows and movies but imo it’s gone so downhill in the past decade or so.

DVD was amazing for this stuff when it was a new. Entire documentaries on a whole separate disc! Filled with interviews and storyboards from “regular” people delighted to share how they create props and design sets and where they pull inspiration from!

Now you get content that more than anything has a vibe of “we got some of the celebrity cast to come in for a day to pal around and be quirky in hopes we get a good 7 second Twitter ad out of it”. No authenticity allowed, even if the content originated as a way to show the difficulties and passion that come with getting something to a screen. Just an opportunity more marketing fodder, baby!

#I was excited to read the more recent behind the scenes books I have but..it’s just like 150 pages of concept art with little context 😔 #I miss the paragraphs of thought processes from the people who did the work! #now it’s just ‘haha look at this cool thing some artist did :D’ like yes it’s nice but where is the MEAT!! #this absolutely does not bode well for the no way home book coming out in a few months 😭 #if they kept pushing the release date back just for me to get another picture book…….. #these movies get higher and higher budgets but for what? it feels like empty calories 😔 #like yeah yeah the disappointment is on me with this stuff but. I long for a world where my need for information is still satisfied :/

theres more intimacy in the last 5 minutes of whm than the entirety of the manga put together. ever think of that

#the manga has... uh... fuckin... all might + deku hug and the embrace between deku + inko that isnt really a hug but idk how to classify it #last 5 minutes of whm has deku pull rody into his lap + take his hand + telling him everything will be okay + the airport scene. #like i dunno man i dont even think its a tough call #and for the record that endeavor hugging bakugo and todoroki scene doesnt really come across as intimacy imo. more of a shock response #like if you look at his face hes kind of losing it. no one involved enjoyed that hug. #alright kota hugging izuku post-320 slipped my mind too #in my defense that chapter didnt exist when the movie came out #<- weak defense because i didnt see the movie before reading that chapter but i digress #the concentration of intimacy in whm is higher than any other part of the series and its not even close. #and while it is intimate its not overwhelmingly so in the context of literally anything else. this series is just stingy as hell about it #i forgot about him hugging his mom in the 330s too but be real that was from a montage of panels and easily missed

how good are deep fakes? how hard are they to make? I feel like this is a pandora’s box sort of thing but... Goncharov deep fakes?

#goncharov #unreality #deep fake #like not a whole movie or entire scenes #but like clips of de niro and pacino that obvi isn't just the godfather or something else out of context #audibly saying made up lines from the movie

[skeletalheartattack]

I strongly suggest you to see it when you have the time. Its an incredibly charming movie and has good humor. But i understand if you would rather not.

oh perhaps one day i'll watch megamind!!! i don't hold that fear for a happy meal toy anymore!!!

there's a lot of movies i haven't watched, and some day i'd like to change that :)

#ask #anon #seriously no worries! im kinda interested in watching it some day #especially to learn the actual context to certain scenes ive seen from the movie #i wanna watch the sonic 2 movie but. ill have to wait for that one since i dont really go to theatres #the last movie i watched recently was el camino. the breaking bad movie #it was very good... #i have a friend whos big into movies and i always feel bad cause im like ''oh i havent seen that one. or that one. or-'' #im more knowledgable in video games is all :) #not all of them ofc but most of them :) #like sly cooper 1? mugshots a very fun character :) voice and design #and his chapter i think is my favourite in that game #i hope to replay it one day..... i have a ps2 disk of sly cooper 1 and its so scratched up girls :( #like itll freeze in a cutscene or a loading screen and idk what to do about it #thats kinda the issue with having physical games from your past. esp if you kept the games out of their cases #maybe one day ill be able to emulate the games i miss playing.... #anyway!!!! thank you so much for your asks!! :)
