#that script is fascinating actually

[lyriumflames]

So we all know about the classic "I'm changing history to save clara" quote, but do people know the absolute batshit earlier draft of that scene? Like-

My god

#a bit far my guy #apparently the pink script is the third to final? it goes pink to yellow to green so early-ish in the writing process #I'm glad they changed it tbh that's a little too heavy for an earlier episode #that script is fascinating actually #for the actual ep they removed some colder/harsher doctor lines (and a concerned clara reaction) and any reference to danny #twelveclara #whouffaldi

eating my popcorn watching all this drama go down irt the larian discord server

#like i never joined but the whole discord community relationship thing fascinates me from a psych perspective #like in a miller exp or stanford prison exp way #i am aware of the irony of this coming from a blog on tumblr where i act stupid on purpose #but i do think the entire larian discord has been incredibly unprofessional both from larian's employees and the moderators/support team #but. this isn't a hospital where i. like. care. this is my silly blog where i post dumb shit and wow are you guys seeing this? #like im am just trying to imagine. like if my hospital had an 'official discord' where staff interacted w the public like that #i cant. actually. because i've fired people for taking pics in clinic. this shit is wild #like no one seems to really know whats going on and some ppl are claiming larian hate modders/1 or 2 modders specifically #while others are like. no they dont; it just sucks having to reverse engineer the script extender etc #and then there's the google doc thing of like thousands of screenshots of the discord mod chat which i WISH i had the time to study #it makes me realize how little i know about the whole online moderater lifestyle thing that happens on discord and reddit etc #anyway im curious and nosey always so this is interesting to me #and the drama of it all takes my mind of other horrible things for a bit

Hello Carmen Fans! I come to you with a plea for help. A while ago, a user in the tag posted about being able to watch the Carmen Pilot on TV and seeing deleted scenes that were not in the original Netflix version. The scenes they described aligned very closely with some of the ones in the Pilot's Novelization-- most notably the fight Carmen has with Sheena where she gets the idea for her codename, and the scene where Grey says goodbye to Carmen after graduating.

I was able to message this user about where specifically they saw this airing, and they said they were able to watch it on the Canadian channel Family TV, which is owned by none other than our friends at Wildbrain, the animation studio for Carmen! Stoked at this knowledge, I was then able to find the broadcast schedule for Carmen on this network:

Now, unfortunately it appears that they have only been broadcasting the pilot and no other eps for now, however, they are consistently airing them and doing so again this week! Unfortunately, I don't have any access to this channel and the original person that discovered this was never able to record them, but I'm sure there are people out there that can! So here's my quest for y'all: If you get Family TV at home, see if you can't catch these broadcasts, and if you see the extra scenes, record them on your phone!

Of course, I could also be 100% wrong here and the episodes they're airing could be totally normal-- it could have been a one-time thing that very few people saw. But even if it's a small chance, I think everyone would be interested in a find like this. I'm honestly dying to know if there's potentially more Carmen out there, and if there is, I'd hate for any of it to become lost media.

I'm tagging @csweekly here because I think a lot of Carmen fans are active again because of them, plus the episode this week is Part II of the pilot, after all!

#carmen sandiego #csweekly #I am so fascinated by this possibility honestly #how much of that novel is padding and how much of it is actual scrapped script I NEED to KNOW

ryder being rude as hell in the script version only compilation

#sorry for hitcherposting :( it will happen again #but i read the script a while back and so much of it has stuck with me. i think it's funny #or genuinely fascinating that why was he verbally not as rude in the actual film....... #i'm pretty sure none of these insults appear in the film anyway. but i only saw it once so idk. if i rewatch it i might go more insane #shoutout to ''because i'm dracula'' sure u are man #the hitcher 1986 #not in the mood to tag this with everything i could lol bye

[opens-up-4-nobody]

Genuinely, I've watched the 1st episode of the terror so many times I can quote along.

#reasons im insane. reasons my mum looks at me and thinks hm yeah probably autism #god. i rewatched the 1st ep with my parents and felt so unbearable that i was like. i cant continue watching this with him #i just wanna talk abt the script and the themes. me about the terror: have u ever considered the presence of god in the terror #bc i think abt it all the god danm time. and my dad is actually religious. like we had to prey before bed and before every meal #and im like slightly insane abt religion so im like how tf can i tempt u into a theological conversation #tell me how u feel abt ur religion. i desperately wanna kno. idk i just find it fascinating #i wish i could take a theological class on the bible. i would fucking love that. understand the context and history and themes and all that #god. this is what the terror does to me. bc i attach to weird things #terror ramblings #unrelated

I really want to make a (short running) multi-page Pizza Tower comic exploring the context of that one image in the credits where Peppino and Fake Peppino uncomfortably encounter each other when taking out the trash.

#fake peppino's postgame existence is so fascinating to me #especially in juxtaposition with how horrifying his boss fight was lol #anyways i'm scripting and blocking it rn hopefully I can actually do it #pizza tower

okay wednesday (2022) fans, i have a question for the besties

at what point in the year do we think this show takes place?? it goes over wednesday’s birthday, which takes place on a 13th, however enid also mentions the stanley cup playoffs (hockey) at the rave’n, which take place in spring time (they start in may).

the idea of wednesday being born in april/may is admittedly hilarious, but who would want to miss the opportunity to put her birthday in october?

however, again, the stanley cup playoffs usually start in early may. this would place the show in late spring/early summer, which doesn’t seem to fit with the rest of everything… else *gestures vaguely*

for one, the rave’n has the vibe of a fall/winter semester dance, and wednesday specifically mentioned the dark prom, meaning there’s theoretically a prom that takes place, presumably at the end of the spring semester. it also has the harvest festival, which is a fall event, and the general weather seems to imply fall?

evidence seems to point majority towards s1 taking place in the fall semester, however there are some one off lines that could be taken otherwise. opinions?? comments???

ETA: thanks to some help from @kind-glittering-eyes we deduced with numbers that it makes most sense the series takes place in the fall semester of 2022!! feel free to check the reblogs for a more extended explanation lol

#wednesday (2022) #wednesday (netflix) #wednesday show #the addams family #wednesday meta #wednesday addams #i’m genuinely curious #because again. hockey playoffs happen in spring #did they mention hockey just to get out of mentioning football without realizing that hockey playoffs don’t happen until spring??? #enid could’ve easily asked just as easily about like. a regular season game #i’m fascinated by this one off line #my guess is the script writers don’t actually follow hockey and didn’t do their fact checking but

*cough* Please take this as permission to info/lore dump about The Mimic. Gimme that essay.

I'm gonna need you to come back in about a week maybe 2 because I'm actually making the video essay like, I'm legit making a video essay about this so don't worry! You're Getting That Essay! I just have to make it first

#asks #THE MIMIC IS SO FUCKING COOL AND EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO AGREE WITH ME ON THAT FRONT ARE WRONG #i love the mimic as it is in the games and all the actually positive posts about the mimic i find are. about the books #not the games. and i'm so distressed #but i'm gonna prove it. i'm gonna prove the mimic is utterly fucking fascinating. #if it convinces 0 people that the mimic is interesting well it's gonna be fun #but yeah i'm actively working on the script right now

[callixton]

my secret chess opinion is i actually think the london script is pretty much fine and never needed to be changed

#idk i think it does have fairly coherent plot and characterization #and as a director the minimalism of the storytelling is actually more interesting for mee #*me #wish more modern writers set up their scripts with the opportunity for interpretation #now i DO think that all of the changes have given chess an absolutely Fascinating history and i’m ultimately glad they were made #i don’t think it’s the strongest book in the world and there r pieces i prefer from rewrites but like. i do think it stands alone fine #i do really like the way relationships are developed in new versions. i’m glad they do that. i just don’t really get Why the og script was #- put thru so many changes #i just think that most of the things that are left without development are the director and actors responsibility to create #idk tbh. i’m sort of thinking though this as i type these tags. this isn’t a long held opinion lmao #chess #ted talks #tumblr keeps doing this fun glitch where it hides my keyboard and i have to type on muscle memory

i'm assuming this is an alt cut/take. i've talked a bit about how much i love the physicality of peter cushing's acting, and, while i think these line deliveries are weaker (and even the word choices are blander) than what was in the movie, i do find his body language here fascinating.

peter was all about small mannerisms and subtle details with his characters, and he utilizes this when tarkin physically intimidates leia in this scene (physically backing her up against vader, grabbing her chin, etc.,) in both this take and the one actually used. his physical proximity to the camera by being filmed from the waist up (something they initially weren't going to do until peter requested so to be able to wear more comfy shoes on set) could've severely limited the scenes with tarkin, but instead just add more emphasis to his subtle movements and physical intimidation.

even the parts when he isn't standing directly next to leia, the camera is angled in a way that makes him take up so much of the screen that he feels closer. part of me wishes that they had kept/shown him pushing leia back with his arm after he turns away from her, but the final cut feels more claustrophobic, powerful, and emotional by instead focusing on leia's anguished reaction as she lunges forward.

#from a script perspective i'm fascinated by the script changes that were made here.... peter mispronounced dantooine in the first cut #so that might've changed some of it. also the word choices just hit harder in the final cut lol. they're more charged and heated. #sw #wilhuff tarkin #peter cushing #if someone were to ask me why i'm into film i would use this as an example. it's damn interesting. #when the classic film is actually good 😊😊😊 i tend to find that they usually are but some are more overhyped than others.

in the context of other poliziotteschi flicks thinking back on la polizia ringrazia just makes my head spin like there you have the "good" policeman realizes the system is corrupt archetype and all the other routine components to it but this movie just takes that and gives depth to them and makes every character's motivations very ambigous and layered. it really feels like reading an essay, you have to really pay attention to understand what is being said which is something i used to not like that much but i've been enjoying lately so it was a hit for me like so much that i was very taken aback by all this. it's just hysterical to me that this very genre movie could have this complexity like pack it up francesco rosi.......

#sad to report that enrico maria salerno belongs with those fascist italian actors that actually made good movies..... sometimes #ah but ever since i found out that information i think of his violent summer cameo where he plays jean louis trintignant's father and he #jumps into frame with a bald head and black shirt delivers one deranged monologue and then leaves. perhaps that was not even in the script #and he just did that bc that's how he was behaving casually #fascinating times #oh and there's a lb review from a user i'm not even mutuals with where they review a salerno movie (seasons of our love) and someone in th #comment section asks do you think salerno and gian maria (volonté) got along on set considering salerno was a fascist? dhhdxgghxudbjwkshdjk #maybe not but then again gian maria had bigger things to worry about concering that movie like his BLEACHED eyebrows. unexplicable #yes i have many grievances

i talk shit about triggers decision to change the scene where galo gets thrown in prison from him having a breakdown to him just crying one single manly tear bcuz of what it represents, not bcuz i wouldnt Get It as someone who has trouble crying or whatever. i can rationalize that scene in a character study abt galos repression or whatever all i want but at the end of the day it doesnt rly matter when u can p much just look at it and be like yea p sure its one of those things trigger backed out on cuz they were too scared of putting too much emotion into their action movie

#like yeah u can be like its bcuz galos shocked its bcuz hes repressed its bcuz he just has trouble expressing 'bad' emotions #but its hard 2 do that when its just bcuz trigger didnt think it would be manly if galo cried on the floor #again tho why this is where there line is with galo and manliness i have no idea #fascinating 2 watch trigger write galo as like this healthy masculinity guy and the antagonist as the opposite of that #who takes like this bad extremely dangerous violent toxic approach 2 what Being A Man means to him #but then trigger themselves while doing that still cant rly examine their own views abt masculinity n stuff Too much #like man u were close here to something #there could be cultural differences w some of this stuff too n im just not picking up on it but i dont thinkive seen anyone talk abt it #prmare taking place in america n being made to resemble like american cartoons n action movies makes me iffy on it #plus the changes from these more final scripts to the actual animated scenes in the movie #they changed the scene w galo holding lio as aina carried them 2 the lake post kakusei scene from boards to more final scripts #so like w that stuff u can guess they just phased that part out a lot earlier but this one was gonna Stay for a while and they changed it #the more final scripts have some big lore changes n stuff compared 2 actual final script n movie so they were by no means like the Completed #final script or anything they were still a wip one but yknow. there wereparts that u look at the changes n ur like huh #promare

[vimbry]

lmao the neo clone I played over a year ago that had a toxic discord server, bot scandals, and a completely wrecked economy from day 1 has a writeup on r/hobbydrama now

#it got even worse somehow #I stopped playing once I found the 2nd bc the 1st's atmosphere sucked hard #comparing that and the one I play now is actually a fascinating study bc tl;dr the first had basically no features on launch #the main way to make NP was a very limited amount of dailies which. obviously. could only be done once a day. and you may not even win from #the next best method was restocking morphing potions. but only if you were quick enough/had the money to buy it in the first place #and the profit relied on it being a pet people would actually want #so you could easily lose money buy impulsing an unpopular species/colour combo potion you could never resell to anyone #popular combos were obviously snatched up quicker #and when I snatched I mean “all but confirmed rumours of a select few users making restocking script bots” #people had nothing to do and got bored so naturally they started fighting #that wasn't actually very tl;dr but you get the idea lmao #reminder: day ONE #the second site: added 10 daily jobs to do from the start for common restockable/junk items which could net you about 100k easy. #people actually made spreadsheets of the job items and set up shops of them in bulk for people to buy at a fair price #also a simple-if-tedious card game that pays out a cap of 50k and only costs 50np a round #you have more pet slots instead of neo's traditional 4 #which meant people could now dedicate spaces to more “unpopular” pets they'd never considered before instead of picking and choosing #(for instance I have a royalgirl buzz! never really bothered with buzzes before then) #so more morphing potions get sold

[zukkaoru]

full offense but whoever cast the 1940 the house of the seven gables adaptation did not read the novel

#clifford looks WAY too young #why did you go for pretty boy vibes that man is TRAUMATIZED and has spent the last several decades in PRISON for a crime he #did not commit #also if the person i think is hepzibah is actually hepzibah. she is ALSO way too young #and too pretty like.... hepzibah and clifford both are described as scaring children with their appearances 😭 #phoebe is supposed to be young and pretty! holgrave can be pretty! #literally a big aspect of clifford and hepzibah's characters are that their appearances are not considered socially appealing!! #also apparently this adaptation focuses on like.. the period of time surrounding the murder of clifford's father? #either that or whoever wrote the script ALSO did not read the book lol #anyway i literally finished this book yesterday but i am. holding it gently in my hands it is SO fascinating #it's a drag to get through at some points but it's just so interesting to me #i would LOVE to do a full modern-day rewrite of it tbh #hello grace here

[perenlop]

ive seen get out the movie now... goddamn

#spoilers for the movie in the tags bc u should watch it urself #it was very different from the screenplay like more than i thought and i like the changes that were made #like fun fact rose and jeremy swap places in the climax and i love the movie version wayyyyy more #like originally it starts w rose trying to wheel him into the surgery and chris kills her first #and jeremy literally shows up to kill him 3 times. yeah i like that hes not that in the actual movie #bc in the screenplay i was like ''wtf why wont he go down why is he the main threat'' #and in the movie jeremy goes to get him and hes attacked. comes back and THEN gets blugeoned #which i like better bc we get the scene where rose is trying to find her next victim andshes like cold and calm throughout the climax #which is infinitely scarier and more thematically fitting bc SHE did this to him SHE sethim up SHE is the main antagonist #idk its very different but a REALLY good change that i really really like #the one rose related change i didnt care for is that they took out the bit where she manipulates him with a fake pregnancy #tho ig i get why it was taken out. ig ppl wouldve gone ''omg he killed a pregnant woman'' and that wouldve been annoying #idk if youve seen the movie i recommend reading the screenplay the changes are really fascinating #also the gore didnt scare me as much as i thought it would. i think i psyched myself out too much #+ its more descriptive in the screenplay. huh. maybe i CAN handle breaking bad. just if i read all the scripts beforehand #if anything like that is possible tho idk #echoed voice

[goldenguillotines]

oooo Ehkkoh is for SURE the trope where he's the pretty boy who work at a cafe/bar.. but turns out to be REAL twisted

#like hes probably a part time medical studeng #just got into schooling a little too late #now that hes learning hia fascination with medical stuff like that is off the rails #he actually tries to make himself the 'vulnerable stupid bronze' so he can literally #quickly flip the script and go to town on highbloods/seadwellers especiallg #he likes trolls who seem to never perish.. they are the most fun :) hes like.. lemmie see.. #teef #no i will be normal about it //keeps my immortal bitches away// #i also think hes got some wacky capabilities? #like idk how to describe it but.. #it probablg has to do with either; being able to see someone like an xray OR.. he can manipulate his bones. #i think hes probablg a bit on the strong side genetically?? so hencan :] get at dem high bloods #hes got a funny personality tho when hes being normal #Ehkkoh my beloved //pats his head #idk endeared to my freak
