#the movie itself is one of my favorites

[lizluzz]

Okay, since a lot of people have been asking for this, and I'm a big believer in sharing this experience with everyone, here are the director's commentaries for Boy (2010).

have fun, share, and feel free to come and scream to me about it afterwards!

#boy (2010) #the movie itself is one of my favorites #but this is truly fascinating #taika waititi #is it a director's commentaries? actor's commentary? bizarre meta? therapy session? you decide! #lizluz

I am actually a bit sad that they made both blackheart and goldenloin have shorter hair it changes the vibe only slightly but the vibe is changed

#Nimona #on the one hand. NIMONA MOVIEEEEEEE but on the other hand. My favorite book is being turned into a movie :/ #I want it to be good but also I like Nimona SO much. It’s going to be Different. I don’t know if I’m going to like the different. #Firmly not in favor of Short Hair Goldenloin. He’s full of the DRAMA. He only became a knight bc Professional Theatre Kid wasn’t an option #Blackheart is supposed to have his slicky vampire hair #They made it less of a delighted parody of itself so I trust it a little less with the identity horror. The point was the grotesques #They’re all too Hollywood pretty now

Thinking about bvs again and how it actually turns "Doomsday" into slightly less of a plot device and more of a literal weapon from his greatest adversary. Like it's fascinating how the one weapon that could kill Superman, a man exactly like him with more age and skill and fore knowledge about everything, from life to their planet to war, is whom he had to kill in MOS only to be desecrated by his greatest arch enemy, the antithesis to Superman and the very thesis of the potential evil of men, into a monster created and forged to destroy everything and anything, but ultimately Superman.

#like comic wise its never really been personal #like it's not Clark / Superman itself that doomsday had to kill #if it were any other kryptonian that survived #it would have been the same #but that added flavor of Zod becoming Frankenstein's monster is just one of my favorites #love this batshit movie #misc: text post. #batman v superman

I started writing this in the replies of a different post but quickly reached the word limit so I'm putting it here instead. These are my thoughts on across the spiderverse and they contain heavy spoilers. Please only read if you have seen the movie because it's the kind of movie that gets absolutely ruined by being spoiled.

So the antagonists in both ITSV and ATSV have a lot in common.

Miguel and kingpin have the same motivation in each of their respective films. They both wanted to live a life that didn't fuck them over and they crossed through dimensions to try and make it happen.

They both fail to achieve their goal: kingpin's attempts to bring his family back are thwarted by the spiders, and the world Miguel enters literally falls apart around him.

Their actions have ramifications that further the conflict of the series. By creating his collider, kingpin gave the spot his powers, allowing the spot to wreck havoc through dimensions. Miguel's new dimension unraveling led him to believe in specific canon events that must happen to every spider person, and that any anomalies to his formula would cause the multiverse to unravel.

There's a pattern to be seen here, and while the next movie is likely going to focus somewhat on the conflict against the spider society, I think it would be cool if the conflict between miles 1610 and miles 42 followed a similar pattern.

Miles 42 lost his father, and 1610 showing up has proven to him there are other dimensions out there, including one where his dad is still alive, which would provide a motivation in line with the previous ones. Miles 42 is framed pretty clearly as an antagonist, meaning Miles 1610 as the protagonist will likely find a way to stop 42 somehow, meaning all that's left to see is the ramifications. I honestly don't know how it all will play out. Beyond the spiderverse could take this story in so many different directions and most of them would be satisfying enough for me.

The ultimate coolest move in my book would be to create a meta narrative of sorts where each movie has the same key elements that make up the story, but handle the conflict in three different ways; what if each spiderverse movie was an alternate version of the same movie? ITSV would be a man vs man conflict (kingpin pulled the spiders out of their own universes and miles has to defeat him to repair the damage done). ATSV would be a man vs society conflict, as miles is up against a society of other spider people who believe he's an anomaly who needs to be contained, destroyed, or forced into conforming to the spiderman formula. I predict that BTSV (at least miles' main arc) will be a man vs self conflict, showing miles a version of himself who behaves the same way as the villains he's faced so far, and having him reconcile with that.

The villains this series has given us have all been victims of circumstance, people who are trying to do what they can to get themselves out of a difficult or painful situation. What makes them villains is the choices they make in trying to get out. Kingpin, Miguel, and the Spot (and presumably Miles 42 but it's a bit too early to say) will stop at nothing to get what they want, and they don't care about the people they hurt along the way.

Destiny and canon want to put Miles through the ringer like every other spiderman, but Miles rejects these very concepts in the climax of ATSV. Miles chooses to reject these ideas, trying to find an alternate path much like the antagonists. But Miles has a different motivation: in addition to making a better world for himself, he's fighting to make a better multiverse for all of the spider people.

I'm not a super active writer, but a writing adage I've picked up over the years is that protagonists ask questions and antagonists give answers to those questions. Its up to the protagonist whether to believe if those answers are true. In BTSV Miles' question would be "Am I a villain too?" Miles 42 answers yes by showing our Miles that at the very least, he is capable of becoming a villain. If Miles rejects that answer, he will no doubt do so by remembering that unlike the villains he's faced, he's fighting for something greater than himself.

#'im just going to write a few sentences about a cool littke pattern i noticed' i said like a liar #across the spiderverse #spiderverse 2 #atsv spoilers #im so normal about watching movies lmao #i think this is one of those cases where homestuck metatextual brain poisoning has come in handy #if for no reason other than priming me to recognize other metatextual stories in which characters are fighting the narrative #when they said the word 'canon' in the movie for the first time my immediate thought was 'they better not do some homestuck shit' #and they almost did but they DIDNT AT THE LAST SECOND AND DID SOMETHING WAY BETTER INSTEAD #that better thing being the same homestuck shit if it wasnt actively hostile to its audience and took itself seriously #jake waxes philosophical #jake doesn't have a writing tag #autism mode activated #homestuck #< because we're more than 5 tags in so it wont show up there and i name dropped it in previous tags #come to think of it i think regular show also did some metanarrative stuff with fate and choice in the series finale #regular show also had one character and a shadow version of that character whos Them but Evil and they fight each other #which is one of my favorite narrative devices btw #especially if the Evil one isnt a 'real' person but rather a representation of a character's self doubt or loathing #i fucking love man vs self conflicts

( ... so i just watched the spiderman movie and Lords help me I am thirsting so hard rn I don't think the earth can satisfy me after seeing the stupid hot fucking spider and getting a close up view of him and how he moves/talks/everything. )

#|| Tag: OOC #( .. the fucker hit all my favorite spots in one swoop and I can't even be mad. ) #( jfc. the way he moves and sounds lives rent free in my head now instead of me only gleaning ) #( bits and pieces from gifs and observing how other people write him. ) #( I'm just gonna silently thirst till my brain can focus again cause holy fuck. HOLY FUCK. i'minlovewithhisstupidass.) #( i can't believe i got shanghaighed like this. Besides that. I really enjoyed the movie itself ) #( like idk the colors and moods really appeased my mind and the quirks were nicely placed ) #( seeing the transitions and how far they took that angle gave a really nice take on the multiverse thing yknow? )

Did you ever go see Minus One?

TWICE.

Once regular, once Minus Color, HAVE I NOT RAVED ABOUT HOW IT'S THE PERFECT MOVIE????????????????

#THE OSCAR-WINNING MINUS ONE?????????? #I've never gone into a movie with more hype and found myself leaving even MORE HYPED #not once #movies have lived up to expectations and surpassed expectations but this was WHOLLY different #middle of the film the movie latched itself onto my WARSHIP HYPERFIXATION of all things #godzilla minus one #Jurassic World comes closest to matching this in scale I think #but that one I went in with middle expectations #it was ''oh I guess this will be fun this is great this is a special event this is exciting if nothing else'' and I left going #''Well okay Jurassic Park is my second favorite film in the franchise now I guess''

finally FINALLY finished watching the legend of korra. it only took me LITERALLY ten years

#tbh lok doesn't make me feel the same way atla does but that isn't necessarily a bad thing #i wish there was more focus on martial arts and history but i understand why there wasn't #history and tradition was EXTREMELY important to aang in ways that it was NOT to korra #i also wish we had seen more silly things about korras childhood but again they were telling a different story so i understand why not #they introduced a lot of new things w this one and i think pro bending was my favorite #cause it was one of the few things that WAS focused on martial arts it was just focused on like. boxing and mma #which is REALLLY fucking cool to see #i have critiques about mako's character but watching him fight was always so much fun because he is straight up mma fighting #for that to be depicted in a show that focused heavily on traditional martial art is so cool to me idk #bolin did it too but earthbending didn't lend itself quite so visually for the same effect #i also ALSO wish the stuff with amon had lasted longer than one season #a big part of atla is that aang is working the whole show to defeat ONE enemy #it felt like there was a new big bad each season #if they went amon -> the red lotus -> the earth empire -> unalaq in terms of season progression #i feel like the stakes would've been paced better yknow??? like the fight against vatuu should've been a Big Fucking Thing #what do i know tho lol #anyway im very excited for the upcoming movie and also the next avatar series #apparently the movie was set to release in 2025 and the series after that but. we'll see

Ok I just watched Antichrist aka the movie where willem dafoe had to get a dick double bc his dick was too big and I just have to say that the dick doubles dick was huge. What the fuck does willem dafoe have

#in case anyones like that’s your takeaway from Antichrist?? #no it was an interesting movie that would lend itself well to a good discussion on gender in horror #but it wasn’t one of my favorites and I don’t want to spend a ton of time analyzing it by itself

US war movies, and war movies in general, are about Showcasing the Horrors of War and how much these poor soldiers suffered (if youre lucky, you will also see how these poor soldiers made others suffer too). the most important and valuable aspect of all quiet on the western front, what makes it stand out from other war movies, is that it does not have a happy ending. gringo war movies love to put a woman back home so the guy has a wife to come back to, a family to raise and a future to sustain. by focusing on that promise of a better future, we are all the more ready to forget about what happened before (or even worse, to excuse it as the ugly ugly means to get to the good things, a calvary to get to heaven)

postwar movies, as in, movies focused on what happens After the mass suffering and trauma of a society, have a bigger, harder to pinpoint power. these stories actually deal with guilty parties, with responsability and the aftermath of crimes, about the holes in the system that allows surviving victims to go without reparations and genocides and generals to continue to evade punishment. it replaces the adrenaline pumping excitement of a battlefield for the cold professionalism of courts and offices. after every war there is a process of reconditioning and readjustement. and if you cannot make an anti war war movie, then your best bet is a post war anti war movie. the only way you can make sense of the violence is by seeing everything from the distance of the future, and by reorganizing the truth into testimonies that can allow you to learn.

there is little to learn from suffering. there is more to learn from what remains after that suffering has happened.

#. 🦴 #im half asleep but i hope this makes sense #when i watched argentina 1985 for the first time i kept comparing it to the post which is one of my favorite spielberg movies #bc argentina 1985 disappointed me in my wish to see something fresh and revolutionary #when in the end. it didnt need to be that #more importantly. it reminded me of how the post itself is. a post war movie #about the exposing of crimes by the state in the betrayal of their people during the vietnam war #and im thinking about that link #war movies defy nothing. they have been watered down to spectacles of brutality and suffering #and just like night and fog might be the best holocaust movie made. i think we might need that distance #we cannot see real brutality in the eye. not because we need to be sheltered #but because the fear and horrors paralyze us #when what we need is action and justice. not resignation and self satisfaction at the fact #that we have left it all in the past #how can we possibly learn by remaining contented?
