The plot structures of movies need to start taking more cues from classic opera. Open with a fucker in a hat who directly addresses the audience and explains what's going on in a way that raises far more questions than it answers, then immediately drop the viewer into the middle of a shouting argument between three of the weirdest people you can possibly imagine.

Status report, Media Analysis dep't
...Okay, so I watched Rebel Moon: both parts of it.
(resigned eyeroll) Right, there's [n] hours of my life I'll never get back. Punctuated by many exclamations of "Why does this knockoff Evil Empire give a shit about so small an issue?", "Why do the energy weapons all look so drippy?", and "I don't care about any of these characters."
Now filing the occurrence under "Experience is the best teacher," "fatal errors of scale (mismatch type)", "toxic slo-mo", and "no more irrationally desaturated palettes". :/
Not a mistake I'll make again. ...And this from a woman who's already watched Black Adam three times in an attempt to figure out how and what went so wrong with it.
(Then again, maybe I just like looking at Pierce Brosnan in that beard. Or maybe it's just that I've always had a soft spot for Dr. Fate.) (shrug)
Now I need to do something structurally straightforward and simple as a corrective. Like make parsnip and bacon soup, and go have a post-case talk with the 1895-cyberpunk-London version of Sherlock Holmes for the story that's due at the end of the month. (Because the simplest way to build a story like this is to deal with the mystery backwards...)

My favorite kind of "media literacy" post is when people call, like, speculating on why there are no humans in Cars or saying Kingdom Hearts or Homestuck is complicated "media illiterate"
No, friend, those are jokes. Remember those? From when people were able to have fun with popular media instead of treating it as a game where you call everyone who doesn't treat your preferred cartoon with deathly seriousness an illiterate moron? Remember that

Every time an undead character declares with their very own lungs and lips that they cannot resuscitate someone with CPR because they "have no breath," then it must follow that within this context, the word "breath" actually refers to something akin to vital force, which has fascinating implications for how the human body and medicine work in this world.

Dear Media: The college demonstrations are anti-genocide, not "pro-Palestine." Israel's actions are horrifying no matter what population they're aimed at.
Writing that they're pro-Palestine brings the historic conflict into it and makes a good guys / bad guys narrative where none exists. The Israeli actions are freaking EVIL. There's no good and bad.

By Andreína Chávez Alava
For over two decades, Venezuela has been the target of the “free elections” broken record alongside regime change operations and economic sanctions, leaving a long trail of destruction behind. How does the U.S. get away with this “free elections” scam? With the unconditional support of the remorseless corporate media.

Former NPR staffer Uri Berliner criticized NPR for being too woke, and it ignited a wave of support from conservatives like Zionist terf Bari Weiss. The reality is, quite the opposite, actually:
