i’m so sick of writers who proudly proclaim that they don’t read and directors and actors and other filmmakers who smugly say that they rarely watch movies or any artist who acts like an audience is stupid for connecting with their work like what the fuck is wrong with you that you hold such contempt such derision for the art that you have chosen to make the art that so many people dream of the opportunity to make the art that brings meaning and connection to people’s lives it’s unbelievably disrespectful to both your audience and the art-form and if you can’t muster basic respect for either your art-form or your audience then kindly fuck off and do something else

#i hate how rare it is to have an actor be like ‘yeah i just really love movies and going to the movies it’s the best i love what i do’#to the point where when an actor or director IS like that people are like ‘wow what a freak…they’re faking it for attention’ like!! no!!#that’s what it’s SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE!! you WANT creators who are obsessed with their medium!!!#and what gets me about the people who don’t feel that way is the clear Pride they feel like they’re Better for not caring #that uk ya author adapting the odyssey and admitting that they’ve never read the odyssey or the iliad #that writer on twitter saying that telling writers to read is ableist #the russo brothers saying that the theatrical experience is elitist and auteurism should bow to the disney/netflix model #christain bale and any number of other actors who proudly announce that they don’t watch movies #sam levinson who talks about tv like it’s a long movie because he can’t hack it as a filmmaker like his dad but he doesn’t actually LIKE tv #like i get not wanting to consume your own work after it’s released unless it’s for research or self reflection purposes #but you do not exist or create in a vacuum and it’s SO disrespectful and arrogant to act like you do

Why does everyone in America think we in the UK use kilometres per hour?

We use more metric measurements than the USA sure but UK is arguably worse because we use a mix. Pints for milk and beer. Ounces sometimes in baking. Feet and inches for people's heights (if you tell me how tall you are in cm I will just look at you with empty dead eyes)

We use mph here in the UK. Iirc I think like trains do use kmph but I'm not 100% sure with that. Cars and stuff tho? Miles per hour. We're like the only country in Europe that uses mph but gosh darn do we use it

#idk where this misconception comes from but its like everyone expects me to say kmph and im like what???#anyway if you saw my twitter you know what spurred this post to be written AHSDHJDAS #the official sega twitter made a tails' real name joke (he's called miles prower cuz miles per hour)#and they said in the UK he's kilometres prower and im like. bro. youre the OFFICIAL account #how do you get that wrong it literally takes 2 seconds to google #anyway #idk why people think it but there ya go #ramble post #randy rambles

Wanted to watch Dune 2 with my friends so watched Dune 1 (I have not read the book and have no idea about the adaptations as well)...but man I had some vacillating views.

Like at one hand I'm like this seems like the typical storyline of every dystopian world building (there's a person usually a teenager, absolutely unsuited to survive in the given world, yet only they survives while the stronger die as they navigate through the power of love, which is portrayed by a person with the personality of an unseasoned chicken breast, who's courageous and all that yet only purpose is to serve as the muse) and otoh I was blown by the cinematography (man the scene Jessica was walking in the tan gown and every scene in general).

I mean i do cut it a bit of slack cuz it's a work of the 50s and pretty revered...but like is it sci fi, of there are just random terms thrown and the rules keep on tweaking for the MCs...idk

#why does the whole setting feel like an extension of racism #as in not like racism #but like uk...ya dare i say orientalist #ig im not educated enough in this lore to even comment #dune #part 1 #timothée chalamet #zendaya #oscar isaac #rebecca ferguson
