i’ve been scratching my head over the whole watcher situation. I’m not a fan myself but got dragged into it cus of the people I follow, i only watched their puppet history series and the buzzfeed unsolved series from way back- honestly, i couldn’t care less if they locked all their stuff behind a paywall. I’m so neutral on this whole thing, i might as well be swiss.

but i’m not neutral? In fact, the whole thing really bothers me and i couldn’t figure out why.

cus i get it, yanno. As a company that thrives on creativity, i understand you’d wanna cut yourself off the mega-capatalist-giant that is youtube to get rid of annoying restrictions, and asking monetary support from your audience so you can really stretch the limit of your creativity. I GET IT.

And it STILL bothers me!

And then I figured it out:

the whole “any future videos they’ll be making will EXCLUSIVELY be available through a streaming service you have to pay a monthly subscription for” comes less across as “please support us monetarily so we can grow as creators”, and comes more across as “if you want to continue being a fan, or even being a part of the audience, you’re gonna have to pay up. You have no choice in the matter. It’s either pay, or you’re not a ‘real’ fan or a ‘real’ part of our audience.”

THAT’S what’s bothering me about it. It feels like they’re gatekeeping who gets to be part of their community with money (that not everyone might have). And knowing where they come from and how they started…. That’s… extremely tone deaf. To put it gently.

#Watcher #i had to get that out #My condolences to the watcher fandom you actually fucking deserve better #This perspective coming from someone who was only really subscribed for puppet history #Like to me and people like me this announcement is really just “your mediocre support isn’t enough” #“We’re gonna make it so you HAVE to watch all our content in order for the price to be worth it” #“Or you don’t get to watch any of it at all” #And like… yeah fine no more watcher it is then nbd #But did you HAVE to push out like THAT?? #Listen I’ll GLADLY pay 6 dollars for every episode of puppet history #The money is clearly on screen and it’s cheaper than going to the cinema so it’s MORE than earned #I am however not paying that same amount monthly for all the watcher content including all the stuff i’m not interested in #Your content ain’t THAT good

love everyone's theories about what George, Paul or Ringo's films might be like, but we have met men before, yeah? four films about the four beatles is definitely code for a three and a half hour bio-epic about John Lennon's important life, and then some half hearted twenty minute mini features about the other three and how much they loved John

#clear that sam mendes has got the rights to john's life story by promising these four equal films #very likely that the other three films are going to be somewhat delayed in a 'never even started them' kind of way #it's not his fault! #we know more about John! #he's just more important! #he's just more interesting! #he has a tragic backstory that the other beatles don't! #we don't know enough about Ringo to make a film! #we just made a sort of animated octopus short instead #what would you even put in a Paul film?????? #he's too bland for a film! #he isn't emotionally complex in a way we've never really seen explored in cinema! #the beatles #sam mendes #john lennon #paul mccartney

The art is lovely and now I'm gonna ramble because that's what I do when I care about something.

For the love of women, please PLEASE can fan artists remember to add muscle to their Shadowhunter ladies? I'll commend Bowater for cleverly giving James that sculpted and lean look without making him a beefcake (nothing against beefcakes, I'd love to hug them), but Cordelia is once again suffering from Arms And Shoulders Too Slender It's Hard To Even Imagine Her Picking Up A Sword. There is some there, yes, but artists shouldn't be afraid of giving particularly Female Main Characters weight and toned muscle. Cordelia is supposed to be nearly the same height as James as far as I can remember, and she's curvy, and full, and she wields a sword like it's second nature to her. Please explain why she looks so tiny in James' lap.

Also I'm pretty sure marriage runes are supposed to go over the heart whenever possible (thinking about Will's parabatai rune being over his heart instead -- he didn't get Tessa to draw over the scar, did he??) and... either I'm looking at the picture wrong or James' rune is not over where his heart should be.

For the matter, where are their other runes and scars?? James' Voyance rune isn't even on his hand. And I'm pretty sure he's right handed. I could have that wrong though.

Another thing: no one can ever decide what Cordelia's hair looks like and it's the funniest thing to me. This is what happens when all you do is vaguely say the colour is like fire but also like rose petals but also a flowing river of those things but also is Red (probably for redhead, but then from there I never understand where the rose petal analogy comes from considering the typical rose is a deep bloody colour -- I do acknowledge the existence of those light orange varieties though which might more closely resemble red hair). In the end, I'm glad readers can infer what they want and imagine the characters how they like.

Anyone else think James looks like he's built like a tennis player? Oddly specific, maybe, but it was a thought I had. Mostly the arms and somewhat narrow body.

James' hair is nice, his eyes are an interesting take on gold in the shadows. Bowater managed to also make him look closely related to his father, so bravo for that.

In the end, the focus is obviously on the marriage runes and not other physical aspects outside of it being clear that this is James and Cordelia. Bowater's style is very beautiful and elegant. Love the way fabric and lighting is done too. I'll add also that it is possible to be a smaller person who is slender but still strong so I mean Cordelia's not necessarily done wrong, I just interpret her appearance differently. Obviously, they're both hot and they're both attractive and I have my qualms with the series, chronicles, and author -- the fandom I am so-so on, though I'm still here, aren't I? And I'm taking the time to ramble about my thoughts on a piece of fanart -- but this is good. Gorgeous, even. Both James and Cordelia are beautiful.

#side note: am I the only one who thought cc made a mistake trying to describe james as handsome in cordelia's eyes #as opposed to matthew being the beautiful one #when there has always been a deep and aching strange beauty to james?? #james herondale #cordelia carstairs #vaguely crediting charlie bowater though it isn't like you can't find a dozen more copies of this with the credit #also yes I mercilessly picked this apart because I am still trying to find avenues to express my dissatisfaction with tlh #I search for flaws what else can I say #I am aware of it but it's hard to turn those thoughts processes off #maybe I'll write a post at some point all about the authors I once Loved that I am now deeply critical of #a lot of people would hate me for it but eh #also we all know about the marvelisation of cinema #but is it time to talk about the marvelisation of book series/worlds? #or perhaps it has a better and more book-focused name? the jkr approach? rick riordan's marvel-esque flaw? the sjm plague? the clare affair? #we'll workshop it #maybe it's the curse of middleschool-YA series and the issue of aginh readers in fandoms #and I don't mean this as discriminatory against anyone older in fandom because there is not really a limit nor should there be #for most media #but the issue of when the readers grow up amd authors try to accomodate for that -- not necessarily by making their work more adult -- #but by making MORE because there is also an influx of new fans and they want to stay relevant while retaining the old #it's a whole thing though I'd need to sit down to properly organise my thoughts to talk about it

#okay look i love louis and i really don't want to cause any discourse but i suppose this is just me gathering my thoughts in one place #i think that this livestream event would've been so much better if a. it had a concert attached to it and b. it was cheaper #like i'm sorry but i already paid £18 to watch it in the cinemas i am not gonna pay £18 more just to get 10 mins of extra footage #and him and charlie talking about the same things again. like we aren't getting any new questions and thoughts #and he would've been way better off by putting it on a streaming platform instead where fans can have access to it anytime #and this coming right after the cancellation of asia leg with zero explanation and one half assed tweet? is just not louis vibes man :/ #i am NOT saying there's something going on bts or whatever i'm just saying that the fans deserve an explanation #for the cancellation of the tour dates #and like. sorry but this livestream is not accessible at all. i am not gonna spend £18 on this #and like. £18 is actually SO much in so many countries that i know at the end of it only usa + eu + uk #fans will be watching it so what even is the point #but yeah. one off livestream bad. online streaming platform good. explanation for cancellation required

[jakeperalta]

#people who've already seen it or don't have tickets your input is also welcome #i've not watched any livestreams so this would be my first time watching more than just individual clips #i'd been really hoping for a cinema release but i wanted it to be after the tour finishes #like do i miss out on experiencing the cinema release and have the fomo of everyone else talking about it in october #and then get to see it live with fresh eyes #or do i see the movie now and figure that it's a different experience live and i won't remember it all in 8 months anywayx #taylor swift #polls

i think one reason why the musical works so well for me is that music is one of the few ways that a changing medium can come close to emulating the effect of nabokovs dazzling prose. music affects (many) people on an emotional level and catchy music and rhymes can pull you along just as fast if you let your guard down. there's a reason "dante, petrach and poe" is maybe the catchiest tune in the show - it's also humbert at his most blatantly abject. if you don't listen to the lyrics you're bopping along before you know it even though this man with his lovely singing is going into great detail about the sex appeal of (quote) "barely pubescent" children.

just like in the novel humbert is pulling out all the stops of the medium to get the audience on his side, utilising the trappings of musical and emotions associated with certain numbers and types of music to package the awful things he's saying - and the lyrics are more explicit than most adaptations ever dared to be regarding the full horror of the story. you could write an analysis like this about probably each of the songs individually (and ideally someone who knows more about music theory than me should do that) but especially with "dante" and "lolita" the love song/lament that either opens or closes the show depending on the version the lyrics are so spine crawling (arguably also tell me, tell me, though the context does more than the lyrics there) while the music invites you immediately to side with the figure performing them.

any adaptation that can't rely fully on nabokov's prose needs to find something equally seductive and that's a hurdle for most other mediums that i think really bizarrely makes the musical stage very well suited to tell "lolita".

#musical #vladimir nabokov #alan jay lerner #humbert humbert #lolita my love #i dont know how a film adaptation can do this even if well intentioned tbh #bc i dont know if cinematography can really hold that spell for long enough #maybe if the movie was more abstract and fantastical the way nabokovs screenplay way #*was #or animated like jamie loftus suggested #i do think theres a lot of more straightforward subversion #that you can very interestingly do with cinema #but not really while recreating the seductive spell of the novel #(which you could choose not to but thatd make it more of a transformative work in a sense) #lots to think about

y'all gay people in my phone aren't obsessed enough with The Visitor From the Future and it displeases me :(

#okay look season 1 isn't *that* great #it was made in 2009 by cinema students and some parts uh... aged... not so well‚ politically .. #BUT #it's still a cool series and it got canon queer characters as soon as season 2 #(actually in season 1 too but it was as a joke so it doesn't count) #also the movie can be watched on its own (even if it lack queer content...) and is like... really good??? #like please yall it got time travel and drama and robots and zombies and cops and capitalism as the antagonists what's more to ask for? #vdf

Went to se Fnaf with Friends and I brought Peppino along for the ride (he liked it).

Bonus this broken poster from the cinema

#fnaf #fnaf movie #five nights at freddy's #peppino spaghetti #pizza tower #I liked the movie well enough #Pretty B movie wasn't expecting anything more #over all liked it as much as Sonic 1 less than 2 or the Mario movie #My two friends liked it a bit more‚ one in general the other one because of the accidental comedy #Which that was another thing‚ the animatronics‚ costumes and pizzeria were really well made but the effects were uff #They were a few scenes were the entire cinema started laughing and it wasn't im the jokes... #Also Game theorist being dubbed was really weird #Over all was enjoyable liked the references to the books

A young Christopher Lee guest stars as dastardly Larry Spence - a rising star in the world of journalism, turned blackmailer and then murderer - in The Vise: The Final Column (1.16, ABC, 1955); the episode wasn't seen in the UK until 1963, as part of ITV drama anthology Tension

#fave spotting #christopher lee #the vise #tension #1955 #the final column #for more information on the complicated origins of The Vise (a US production entirely made in the UK) see my prev fave spotting post for #Jacqueline Hill's appearance on the series #Lee was hardly a newcomer when he made this ep; he'd been acting professionally since being demobbed a couple of years after ww2 and #was something of a stock player in british cinemas‚ usually in minor bit parts as caddish gentlemen or authority figures and military men #one of his first really significant roles would be later in '55 as a submarine commander in The Cockleshell Heroes #he was also making semi regular appearances on tv in small guest spots‚ albeit sometimes uncredited (as in ITV's The Adventures of the #Scarlet Pimpernel also around this time). a jobbing actor‚ basically‚ and not yet the cinematic icon he would begin (that journey starting #at the end of the decade and the beginning of his association with Hammer studios and horror immortality). he's very good here tho #host and narrator Ron Randell even describes him near the start of the ep as (something like) 'young‚ handsome‚ but sinister' which #may as well have been printed on business cards for the kind of work Lee would find himself doing for the next decade or so #yes he's a real rotter‚ a strangler of ladies and a blackmailer of tycoons‚ and in true Vise fashion he gets his just desserts and the mora #status quo is maintained (this is a very moral series and takes pains to inform us via Randell exactly what kind of punishment the villains #received after the events depicted) #Lee made two more Vise episodes but as Network (rip beloved) seemingly took a random approach to which episodes to include in their #first volume of the series (and obviously as it turned out only volume) i have no idea if either of those are on the set #one can hope! and i do bc it's lovely seeing him so young but with such a meaty role

i feel like the barbie movie was great as a comedy, but it should’ve stayed in that lane more. imo when the movie went outside of barbieland (literally & figuratively) and tried to make itself out to be all activist-y, it was boring and predictable. obviously it’s barbie so it’s a given that there’s gonna be Girl Power messaging, but they should’ve dialed it way back and just had more dance numbers! we all know that barbie didn’t end the patriarchy, and nobody needs basic, ham-fisted talking ‘feminist’ talking points about how Being A Woman Is Hard from a movie made with a giant corporation. the comedy aspect was what really made the movie, and i just wish there had been more of that.

#this is just my opinion as someone who was a bit disappointed #this is not really a Cinema Take #also don’t even get me started on how a barbie that does nothing was presented as somehow more progressive than like a scientist barbie 💀 #ugh all i’m trying to say is obviously they were working under the confines of a corporation #so they should’ve spent more time doing fun shut #and less on watered down mainstream (white) feminist messaging #like okay maybe it’s actually breaking the 4th wall big brain satire #but i doubt it #not to say it was bad #solid 8/10 #i just went in there thinking it would be a 10000/10 😔 #anyways #barbie #barbie movie #barbie movie spoilers #text post #mine

i keep forgetting about this blog lol

anyway been watching a lot of romances lately because I'm making a silly little indulgent video featuring movies i think have the most impactful romances. and there are of course movies that affect others but not me. and im not sure whether to include really well known ones that other ppl love but which i dont?

like, ppl love carol but i feel nothing about the romance in it. or moulin rouge. considering im making it mainly for me, ill probably omit famous ones if i dont vibe with them

im also trying to expand beyond the us and europe. which is hard, like i can name many famous beloved american movies even if i havent seen them bc i grew up hearing about them. osmisis and all. but like bollywood movies for ex? i have no context for them and have to go by like letterboxd ratings or lists i find. it's kind of like how i feel about a lot of music, like im lacking a foundation to jump off of.

#im still planning to go thru a bunch of countries by decade so i can gain more of that foundation #and in fact i have done that with japan and already feel more comfortable with navigating japanese cinema #but i haven't gotten to most other countries #so most places ive only seen maybe 0-3 of their movies #which even when it's 3 is not really enough for u feel like u can go anywhere from

the way mike is like “no pineapple on pizza is wrong don’t listen to him el” and el has no reference for societal constructs of queerness liking fruit on pizza and homophobia ‘pizza with fruit is horrible and weird’ mindsets and so trying it and saying ‘it’s good!’ with wide eyes (i see u lesbian) and argyle nodding supportively like the queer mentor pizza guru he is and then gay plotting with el to get mike to try the “fruity pizza” saying “try before you deny” suggesting that mike hasn’t even tried exploring his sexuality fruity pizza he’s just accepted that it’s bad because that’s what society other pizza eaters have told him and he has avoided his sexuality fruity pizza because of it

is something so personal to me

#and will watching this scene like ‘flirting :(((((( i’m unlovable :(((((((( mike and el are so in love :(((((‘ #like no *smacks upside the head* dumbass this most queercoded scene in all of cinema is what murray would call ‘experimenting sexually’ #the way if this was seen as flirting argyle is flirting more than el 😭😭 i mean at least he’s making physical contact with mike 💀💀 #and he’s saying the same things as el 😭😭😭 and doing the same things 😭😭😭 #platonic elmike #is really what u were seeing will #the possibility of a better future 😩😩 #will needs to calm down and go try some fruity pizza #calms the nerves #byler #elumax #elmax #wlw mlm solidarity #yes i’m back with another queercoded pizza post what about it

#shocked with myself (maybe pleasantly surprised? is the right phrase) #at actually liking barbie a great deal more than i had prepared myself to #it was just a lot more sincere than i had expected; i was afraid it wouldn't be/be more on the snarky side of cinema lately #but it was strangely so much more heartfelt than that #of course some points felt rushed/too on the nose #but the girls and ryan gosling made me so happy #and her at the end saying (spoilers obvs) that yes YES she does want to take life by the hand and pay the price to live and live #also as a former representative of unrequited love the throughline felt a lot gentler than i was prepared for it to be #it was a lot more about emotion and the joy of growing up and growing old than i expected #i don't necessarily think its heart is as pure as a truly great movie?? #but it didn't laugh AT you. it made you laugh and it also meant what it said #which idk idk in a sea of endless winks at the camera laughing obnoxiously loudly media i appreciated the at least #wanting to live and live well aspect of it all and how it took that seriously #like someone on my dash said. i don't really know if it was a good movie?? but the borders of my mind are stretched #something in me is dreaming because of it. so i think that at least is worth it all #also all the girls in the theater laughing their heads off did something to me!!! #there were countless friends (including mine) decked out in pink and it was so so so sweet to me #(anyway. you didn't need these thoughts and maybe I'll retract it later when I've come down from the high of hugging both my buddies)
