#a great addition by the movie

[jackietaylorstan]

Can we PLEASE talk about the detail in the movie about how Snow’s dad died in the woods around District 12, because it’s making me insane. I think it was Dr Gaul who said something like he’s “lost in the trees” and I’m absolutely losing my mind over the layers of influence that moment in the forest had on Coryo.

Crassus Snow was lost in the woods of District 12 and was found again within his son. Because it was that moment of finding the guns and going after Lucy Gray that turned Coryo into his father. Where he rejected his mother’s goodness and the life he could’ve had with Lucy Gray and chose to carry out the legacy his father started with the hunger games. Snow lands on top.

#I’m foaming at the mouth good god #I mean!!!! #a great addition by the movie #the hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #coriolanus snow #lucy gray baird #katniss Everdeen #thg

wah i looove their designs and animation...

#sketched last night looped ''hot air balloon'' track last night rewatched elemental last night you know just how it is....i love it all augh #elemental #elemental 2023 #pixar elemental #elemental fanart #ember lumen #wade ripple #it's so fun how just going w/the flow waviness drawing a wade is Correct. some flamey shiveriness / jaggedness in ember's lines is Correct #and it's all the more fun how it's like oh ofc not quite hitting the mark of how great their designs really are....so so good #and of course the expressive elasticity not only with their faces but the way their bodies ft. respective elements can be expressive #in addition to just usual [assume you have a usual literal human body] expressiveness options in posture / movement etc lol #also was thinking about how like we know everything we Need to know re: wade & his dad but also have so [zero details there] #which is interesting to wonder about. kinda assumed like oh a parent got sick & died but now considering how it could've been an accident.. #the tiny layer of A Reaction he has when ember's talking abt parents giving up everything for you: could be nothing much; or Anything #also noting i Didn't note the first instances that they hear each other's names or introduce themselves thusly lol #or at least i sure can't recall it. just start knowing the other's name partway through which Isn't A Problem but it's like #ooh just more to consider & reexamine. i love to pick up More Details & that's helped by my difficulty in catching them in the first place #one thing about me i don't Catch things i don't Notice shit i don't Get stuff. and also of course: i do though lol #always a trip when it's like oh i love this movie i'm seeing it probably the two dozenth time #and then i notice something for the very first time that was clearly straightup meant to be Gotten upon the immediate viewing #even to the extent that smthing later seems to be kinda happening out of nowhere if you didn't. & i'd just rolled with it #like ok i'm autistic ofc that's something i gotta do all the time. & the adhd means i might keep getting distracted around the same pts.

Yeah and so the movie was 75% finished before it was completely shut down. What a loss to the community, and I can't imagine how heartbreaking it must've been for Nate and all the people working on it. Nimona (2023), later picked up and adapted by Netflix, is a phoenix risen from the ashes and it had to fight to be here despite the book's (and She-ra's!) prior success.

Fuck Disney.

#nimona #lgbtq+ #disney #gay #queer #and this is in addition to what employees said in light of 'don't say gay' about disney scrapping lgbtq+ drafts and leaving crumbs only #i know that disney has historically been great to its lgbtq+ employees #but their media has consistently fallen behind on queer rep to the point that the erasure *feels* malicious #like someone give me one reason for them to play it *this* safe other than their obsession to maintain profit margins they don't even need #like boo hoo we want to make sure no country bans our movies and also please all the conservatives #i have truly begun to resent them so much #i can tolerate anything but NOBODY is allowed to hurt Nate #he is one of us #lgbtq pride #wlw #sapphic #lesbian #achillean #bi #mlm #bisexual #trans #non binary #lgbtq+ representation #netflix nimona #nimona (2023) #fuck disney #shera and the princesses of power #nd stevenson #nate stevenson

Femininomenon by Chappell Roan should’ve been in the Barbie movie. Or any Chappell Roan song, really

#“wHy iS tHeRe nO tAyLoR sWiFt?” shush we need to start talking about more danceable bouncy fun music to add #barbie #no coherent thoughts about that movie #give me a few days and I’ll figure it all out #but yeah. California. Pink Pony Club. Love Me Anyway. Naked in Manhattan. Femininomenon. #they would’ve made great additions just saying #chappell roan

[frogmanfae]

You know who should have been in the Barbie movie? Ben Fankhauser. That man would have Kenned the hardest Ken. He is Ken.

#obviously all the kens in the movie were great #and i am by no means saying he should replace any of them #but as an addition #another ken in the ken possy #he would have slayed that shit #ben fankhauser #barbie movie #he is kenough

You know what, group vote: which thumbnail for the spy with a proposition for Jones?

#sorry for modern movie levels of darkness #i didn't notice my laptop brightness was on its highest setting because of the sun #i unfortunately know the answer but it scares me so soliciting additional opinions #this is how jones gets out of newgate and ends up involved with the great game #also if anyone had ever wondered what my rough sketches look like #now you know #throwing colour at the wall to see what sticks

The China Syndrome (1979)

"I may be wrong, but I'd say you're lucky to be alive. For that matter, I think we might say the same for the rest of Southern California."

#the china syndrome #1979 #american cinema #james bridges #t.s. cook #mike gray #jane fonda #jack lemmon #michael douglas #scott brady #james hampton #peter donat #wilford brimley #richard herd #daniel valdez #stan bohrman #james karen #nick pellegrino #donald hotton #paul larson #michael alaimo #incredibly intense movie. the way this builds tension in the last third is unreal‚ a steady ratcheting up from unease to full blown dread #didn't even realise i was frozen to the edge of my seat until the final minutes. career best for Lemmon? i really think it might be #cast entirely against type‚ not an iota of his comic persona‚ just an ordinary decent man pushed further and further into something #desperate and horrifying. his final lines absolutely gave me shivers. loved the editing on this too‚ the way it intercuts between #the team in the reactor‚ the team working to SCRAM it‚ the SWAT team and the producers at the news station. technically perfect cinema #and a real beautiful handling of the material. also love that this has time to address popular journalism practices and the gender gap on #tv news as well as the larger conspiracy element. really great film‚ just how much took me by surprise #also that vibrating cup of coffee? 10x scarier than the similar moment in Jurassic Park. it might look like a thriller but this has the #blood and bones of a horror movie in places. it also has a big tortoise in one scene and that's always a nice addition

One killer I would LOVE to see in DBD is Art The Clown. He could completely change how the game plays. Since he doesn't talk or make any noise, he'd be like a really interesting stealth type killer who isn't actually a stealth killer. He wouldn't grunt when he gets stunned by a flashlight or pallet, but instead he'd probably just throw a silent lil hissy fit. Plus with his untapped supernatural potential, he'd be super OP (within reason ofc)

I would just love to see what he could do. He'd have the most insane mori out of all the killers, especially since it seems like he can keep his victims alive longer than possible to make the survivors feel the most pain without dying quickly. I'd just love to see how he'd play in the game.

Though I'm pretty sure it'll likely never happen, since the movies are relatively controversial and BHVR does have a tendency to keep their image clean... at least they try to. I'd just love to have another clown in the game who's actually absolutely horrifying. I feel like Art would be another example of The Entity not being able to control him since he absolutely fucking THRIVES off of other's suffering and terror.

#art would be such a great addition to the game #just another horror icon to add #i don't have too much hope though #it might never happen #and if it does #then it'll be like #years down the line #art the clown #terrifier #terrifier 2 #dbd #dead by daylight #dbd killer #dbd concept #video games #games #gaming #horror #horror movies #horror game #slasher #slashers #slashers community #slasher community #fandom

Is/Was tumblr giving anyone else a notification when someone you followed posted for the first time in a while? Like this:

It was doing that for me for a couple weeks, although now it seems to have stopped. A short-lived experiment? Or perhaps no one has posted after a long enough lag. (It seems unlikely to have been a bug, but I don't know enough about coding so maybe?)

It was sort of an interesting idea, to make sure I didn't miss someone I hadn't seen in a while, but on the whole I'm glad it's gone/hope it goes. I'd like my notifications to be all about me, thank you 👸🏻The dashboard is the place for other people. Otherwise it gets confusing.

Anyway, I haven't posted in a while (12 days), so perhaps this post will show up in your notifications!

#that wasn't the only reason I haven't posted much lately #but it did add a little additional pressure for my first post back #i felt self conscious that everyone would get a notification about whatever random dumb shit i was thinking about #but now if lots of people see this at least it answers my question #i haven't been watching BL recently or indeed any shows or movies at all #been trying to focus a lot on school #which i have been! it's been the intellectually most difficult semester so far #so the focusing has been decent recently but the actual results haven't been great #especially since i started the semester not at all on top of things #but it means that I haven't had anything to say about bl #and I've been feeling weird about posting random stuff about my life or what I'm learning #like people aren't interested #and bad about not responding to various things I've been tagged in #i even have some drafts for those i just need to finish. but it hasn't been a priority #anyways here's the update no one asked for. i may or may not post more in the near future. #tmblr life #gillianthecat's life #rambling in the tags

I'm probably in the minority with this but I wish the first 3 arcs of Sailor Moon Crystal were a two-part movie series (like they did with Eternal and Cosmos.).

This will probably make the Crystal fans seethe at the mouth bc God forbid anyone has an opinion different from them. But we probably would've avoided a lot of the embarrassing poor animation choices had they turned the material into two-part movies for each arc. They'd have more time to focus on the good bits that moved the story along. They'd have more time to also focus on the animation quality of the movies.

Maybe, as a result, they could've spent more time honing their character designs versus getting better after three FULL seasons of SMC.

Sorry not sorry, the designs in Eternal and Cosmos are way better than the poor attempts to copy Naoko's style that plagued the first 3 seasons of SMC.

#yeah i said it. i think the infinity arcs character design sucked balls #before anyone goes ugh youre a 90s fan ... all i have to say is: and? so what? i like versions of sailor moon and will criticize all of them #nothing is above criticism you dinguses #the musicals? the bandai ones are a YMMV in quality. the later ones are good but sometimes the songs suck. #manga? inconsistent artwork but i actually like that about the manga tbh - gave it a lot of 'action' in its line work. but 1d baddies #90s anime? theres a lot of filler. some of the filler is good. others are BORING. series does not grow w/ audience after 3rd season. #90s anime pt.2? the aging up of mamoru and him having a relationship with rei. ew ew ew. they ruined mamoru for me lol #pgsm? nothing. its perfect. oh wait one criticism is that they only did the first arc. le sigh. woudve loved to had more #crystal? questionable designs. questionable additions that deviated from the manga. kept in some stuff that sucked about the manga #crystal pt.2? like keeping in haruka kissing usagi to uh intimidate her??? really fucking dumb and huge yikes. the first 3 seasons r boring. #crystal pt.3? which is funny bc its far more condensed vs the 90s anime but somehow manages to be just as boring as the 90s filler eps. #manga addition: i like the manga and i still prefer it over crystal any day of the week. #we good? good. now keep your reply in the drafts #incel + crystal = cryscel fans #btw this is true w/ dragon ball super. they decided to adapt the movies into the series and the series ended up having 🥚 #🥚very questionable animation choices that were fixed but still didnt look that great. like id rather watch the movies they came from. #because if im going to get disappointed that they didnt give vegeta the final strike on freiza - it may as well look good. #still mad about that. vegeta deserved so much more and no one will never change my mind #vegeta being denied from killing freiza was the same as denying venus landing the final blow Beryl. YOU KNOW IM RIGHT.

I dont know what saltburn is about and at this point I'm too afraid to ask

Now that you've seen it, what did you think of the new Christmas Carol?

Well, I think my spamming of Scrooge says a lot about what I thought lol.

But seriously, I've read the actual book and watched several remakes and this one is definitely the best, and I'm not just saying that because of Scrooge's stellar design.

The ghosts had distinct designs and personalities, especially the ghost of Christmas past, she was so snarky, and each of them had unsettling moments that simply added to the atmosphere, making it much more in line with the novel.

Most of the songs were alright, nothing particularly stood out, and I'm not the biggest fan of musicals, except for 'Later never comes' that honestly had me in tears. The theme of lost opportunities and what could have been hit strong in this one.

As did the theme of breaking generational cycles, or rather, breaking the 'chains' of the past and that its never too late to change.

And of course Prudence was an excellent addition. After all, dogs give love to everyone without judgement. I was uncertain about it at first, but she grew on me for sure.

All in all, well worth watching!

#Now I need to watch the new Pinocchio Del toro movie... And Avatar way of water... And Wendel and wild... Sigh. #Scrooge was so snarky too which helped a lot #There was some moments where the dialogue was clunky or cringy but that was mostly in the beginning #The fact Christmas present basically transformed into Christmas of what is yet to come was... Unsettling and weird #And the ghost! Scrooge was pretty awful too... #But mostly a great addition to Christmas movies! #scrooge 2022 #scrooge a christmas carol

oh my b you guys are right the REAL flaw in trashy romcoms is we don’t pay enough attention to the men 🙄

#this is about that tweet about how great the ex bfs in hallmark movies are #I hate it and I hate all of the stupid additions #I guess criticizing the heteronormativity and the american evangelical christian ideology and the romantization small towns and the racism a #and the rigid enforcement of gender roles etc etc those are not worth discussing! #the REAL hot take is that hallmark movies spend too much time on the female character. the real problem is a woman’s desires and choices #being prioritized over a man’s feelings #can’t believe she should be allowed to break up with a guy just because she didn’t love him or something stupid like that! #it’s not like he beat her! and he accepts the break up? it’s almost as if women are allowed to leave relationships! outrageous! #every time I see that tweet I roll my eyes so hard #(this is not directed at any mutuals btw) #( this is because I just opened 2 fics in a row which had the premise ‘jilted ex bf actually really good guy!’ and linked to that tweet)
