Juno!!

I actually get a little defensive when it comes to Juno, because I think the flack Diablo Cody got after the movie was unwarranted. She's a great writer and this swell of shitty backlash against her, to me, felt like a byproduct of her a) being a woman, b) having been a sex worker, and c) the fact that women have always been at the heart of the stories she's told, from Juno to Jennifer's Body to United States of Tara to One Mississippi.

That's not to say I think she's a perfect screenwriter undeserving of criticism, because I think there are plenty of genuine criticisms to be made of her work, particularly around white feminism and pacing issues, but I think a lot of the criticism was about discrediting her as a writer at all, particularly in the sort of meme-ification of her dialogue.

Juno deserved every accolade it got at the time, and I begrudge the revisionist history of it. It's a good movie. It's not anti-choice, because Juno comes close to getting an abortion and just decides it's not what she, herself, wants; it's sharp and compelling, and the late act solidarity between Juno and Jennifer Garner's Vanessa is a moment I really, really love.

It's a messy, imperfect, complicated film, but it's also one I hold a lot of affection for, in no small part because I was about 16 when it came out, and I remember seeing it at the cinema and just knowing, for one of the first times in my life, that a woman wrote it, and that meant a lot to me at the time.

ask me about a film

#plus i think the way it explores the opportunism of certain men #aka jason bateman's character #when it comes to young women #is p much spot on #they don't see themselves as predators because they're not stalking school pick-up #but when a teenage girl lands on their doorstep #well #the movie explores a lot!#juno #film asks #film ask game #welcome to my ama

What’s the most depressing movie you’ve ever watched? Run Lola Run, because it’s not only stressful, but it never stops being stressful, and you know from the outcome of all those different scenarios that her future isn’t going to look much less stressful! Ack!

What’s the most disturbing movie you’ve ever watched? I usually switch the movie off if I get too disturbed. Like, if I feel like the movie is rubbing my face in some topic that doesn’t need more than a teaspoon of exposure to get the point across, I’ll turn it off. But I guess Nosferatu was the most disturbing one that jumps to mind.

An actor/actress you’ve seen in more than 8 movies? Name the movies. Tom Hanks! (He’s…he’s in everything.) Saving Mr. Banks, Toy Story, Castaway, A League of Their Own, The Polar Express, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4! And many moooore 🎶

A film you could watch on repeat for the rest of your life? Too many! But we’ll go with East of Eden. (I can’t. Stop. Watching. It. I’ve seen the movie 5 times now of my own free will. And I keep popping up like a gopher next to everyone I know and asking them if they want to watch it with me.) Honorable mentions to Jurassic Park, Saving Mr. Banks, Captain America: The First Avenger, Rebel Without a Cause, Zootopia and Lilo & Stitch.

What’s the very first film you remember watching? The Lion King.

A film you wish you hadn’t watched? Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. I hate that movie.

A film you wish had a sequel? I’m starting to lose my taste for sequels! I wish it weren’t so. The best sequels are sequels to animated movies. So I guess it would be neat to see another Zootopia.

Which book would you like to see adapted into a film? I don’t know about film, but Wagner the Wehr Wolf would make SUCH a good miniseries.

The most aesthetically pleasing movie you’ve ever watched? The Little Mermaid.

What’s your favourite movie director? Living? Rian Johnson. Dead? Elia Kazan or Billy Wilder. I think you can tell a lot about a director by the way the actors come across on screen, and all the actors I’ve seen in the above men’s movies have been at their best under their direction.

Your favourite movie genre? I think animation, but sometimes I wish it weren’t a genre of its own. So with that in mind, my favorite genre is drama. But I LOVE old old horror.

A movie that holds a special place in your heart? Saving Mr. Banks, because I think, when Tom Hanks says, “that’s what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination,” my whole heart exploded. But also The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, because everything in it is exactly as it should be for Narnia. And Lilo & Stitch just needs to go without saying for this ask game.

Your favourite comedy film? Fantastic Mr. Fox!

A music video you would love to see developed into a film? Is this a thing? …Jumpsuit by Twenty One Pilots.

A film everyone loves but you hate? I hate all Live Action Disney remakes except for Cinderella 2015, so far.

A film you love but everyone else hates I love The Last Jedi. And everyone everyone everyone else hates it! 😬 To be fair, The Last Jedi was easier to defend before Rise of Skywalker came out. But I still love it as a stand-alone movie.

Which cinematic universe would you like to live in? Midnight in Paris, but I don’t think that counts as a cinematic universe, so I guess the Universal Monsters cinematic universe! I wouldn’t want to live in the MCU, as much as I love it. But Universal Monsters? Think about it! You’re living in the 40s and 50s, and yeah there are vampires and werewolves and such, but oooo how cool! And Midnight in Paris is all about being able to visit the artistic “greats” of times gone by, and have them comment on your work and get a greater appreciation for your own time. And I just think that’s neat

What’s your favourite biopic? Saving Mr. Banks.

Mainstream movies or indie movies? …Mainstream movies. I know it’s not very cool to think that. But I basically think like Dipper: “The Top 100 are the Top 100 for a reason, darn it, they’re catchy.” I think if your movie can appeal to huge amounts of people and stand the test of time, it’s done it’s job as a great communication tool. Anything else is like whispering in a crowded room to get attention. It works, but it just makes you look self-absorbed and weird, and only willing to communicate with the people who lean in and make you the center of their focus.

Old movies or contemporary movies? Old movies! Old movies! I’m doing Bryan McDonald’s Film Diet, and I was just telling my mom, “I don’t know if they really don’t make them like they used to, or if I just haven’t been watching the RIGHT contemporary movies, but old movies are so much better than new ones.” There’s this thing. In Rebel Without a Cause. It’s the famous scene where Jimmy is arguing with his parents about telling the police what he’s done. And there’s all this tension surrounding Jimmy and his dad’s relationship, but they never talk about it to one another. And the mom keeps getting around in front of Jimmy and making him look at her and talk to her and interrupting the dad, but Jimmy keeps addressing the dad…but never turning to face him. And it’s like, that’s their whole problem. Jimmy won’t face his dad because he doesn’t like what he sees. And Jimmy’s dad won’t stand up because he knows Jimmy doesn’t like what he sees, and he’s a coward. And barring James Dean’s improv “stand up for me!” They don’t ever talk about it until the very last few lines of the movie. But you, the audience, know that all of that is happening in subtext because even though it’s not necessarily subtle, the way they communicate it is more realistic. It’s in the body language and the things the characters don’t say to one another and in their actions. But nowadays everybody just says exactly how they feel to each other in wittier and wittier screaming matches. Also the thing about Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park only shows dinosaurs for 11 minutes of screen time. The rest of it is pacing and suspense and real characters. The movie’s not about dinosaurs, it’s about trying to seize control of something you shouldn’t, and it’s about life (not dinosaurs, but hermit-like men learning to teach and take care of the next generation) finding a way. Contemporary movies don’t do it like that.

A film with an amazing soundtrack? Ratatouille! …what? It is

1980 for the film ask game!

8 for the ask game 🙂

8 Which book would you like to see adapted into a film?

Honestly I haven't thought very deep into this, but I can remember of a book I read and thought I'd like to see it turned into a movie, and this book would be "The Price to pay" from Joseph Fadelle.

If someone feels interest about this book I can tell you what the plot is about.

wait I am sorry who is Gideon Emery??

He's the PCAP (Performance Capture) actor for BD-1!

Gideon briefly appears in The Making of Jedi: Fallen Order documentary, and Survivor's lead writer Danny Homan has a great blog post talking about his role on set - like using a nose whistle to help create BD's vocalizations. The animation and sound design teams at Respawn bring BD to life in the final gameplay, but when filming in the volume, Gideon helps give the droid a physical presence as part of the Mantis Crew.

#and he's also the actor for Lank Denvik!#I know Covid is why we don't have as much behind the scenes for Survivor but I would love to see more making-of stuff for this game #or if Respawn just wants to hire me to film BTS for Jedi 3 that'd be great too #asks #star wars jedi survivor #jedi survivor #star wars jedi fallen order #jedi fallen order #bd 1 #jedi game behind the scenes

of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)

#len speaks #star wars #revenge of the sith #empire strikes back #the force awakens #not tagging more films than that bc i cant b bothered. incoming tag ramble ahead bc i have sw brainrot rn and im making it everyones prob❤️#i rlly struggled 2 remember if id watched tfa or aotc more. i went w/ tfa bc it was formative to me as a teen and ive seen it probably 6ish #times? whereas aotc was the first sw movie i remember (specifically the scene of obiwan serving c*nt in the bar lmao) but i've only seen it #for sure 4.5 and maybe 5.5 times. the .5 is from when i got bored after obi-wan's scene ended and ran off to go play in the mud or smthn 😭#i'm sure tfa will eventually get surpassed in number of rewatches by aotc and rots bc i don't fw the direction of the ST but that's my #current ballpark estimate of my total number of rewatches #as an adult tho if i just wanna watch a star war i'll go with aotc bc it's fun and ends semihappily and i can turn my brain off for the #spinny lightsabers. it's great background noise or for if you're sick or whatever. rots on the other hand? i won't talk through that unless #i'm quoting it with my brother and i am LOCKED IN 100% entirely entranced by it all #i almost picked rogue one for the best quality answer but i think the character writing is weaker and the facial cgi is creepy. esb beats #it by a hair imho bc of that. the vader hallway scene goes hard tho!!!#also i'm not covering shows or games or books or anything else in this post - simply the films. might ask abt shows later but that might #also give me hives bc so many of the shows suck ass and i don't rlly want ppl extolling the virtues of t.bb in my notes 💀#and yes i do think one's enjoyment and one's opinion of quality are two things that often overlap. but sometimes you just like something #bad and that's awesome. like rots is the best of the prequels by a large margin and i adore the opening and characters and many of the #scenes but that doesn't mean it's the best star wars has to offer ykwim? it's my specialest most favoritest sw movie but that doesn't blind #me to the dialogue lmfaooo

Happy death day, scream, Us and Panic room

Oooo, yes! I'm four for four here!

Happy Death Day

I love a genre mash-up, and sci-fi tropes in horror is a lowkey fave. I really enjoyed this one! It has a real bounce to it which gives it a fun energy. I haven't seen the sequel yet, but it's on my list!

Scream

Perfection!!! I re-watch it all the time and it's always even better than I remember. Not many films succeed in being a love letter to a genre at the same time as satirising them at the same time as telling a story that works on its own, and the fact that Scream succeeds on all three levels is why it deserves it's spot in iconic and genre defining cinema history.

Us

Lupita Nyong'o is sooo good in this that it makes it easy to forgive a lot of the movie's sins. I enjoyed it overall, but I thought it had pretty significant worldbuilding problems that ultimately confused the plot, which is a bit of a bummer.

Panic Room

Not my favourite David Fincher, but still pretty great. I love thrillers that spotlight mother-daughter relationships, and this is pretty much a masterclass in building dramatic tension through and around that.

ask me about a film

#thank you!#all good ones!#which is nice #i saw armageddon time last night which i found p frustrating #anne hathaway and jeremy strong were great in it though #film asks #happy death day #scream #us #panic room #film ask game #welcome to my ama

Top 5 Oscar Piastri expressions please! (He has so many and whoever says he doesn't, I will personally fight them)

1. mouth scrunch (sardonic, mild)

2. the weird woobified-despite-himself heart eyes but specifically at lando because lando is his teenage crush and i’m not fighting ppl about it cus it’s factually true

3. the challenging face when he’s being asked whether he’s truly the best driver on the grid and he’s like. is that even a question

4. the one in the winter break picture with lily at the restaurant like good lord, that’s the face of a romance protagonist who got the happy ending

5. whatever is going on here

#oscar piastri #op81 #greatest hits if you will #his heart eyes are so personal cus he otherwise keeps that shit on the dl and projects standing man emoji #smth insanely interesting about a man who outwardly projects level 5/10 energy #only for joy to seep out of him despite his best efforts #to vaguely contain it under some gossamer film of self preservation #like iykyk #from the ask me anything top 5 game

so what exactly is that original story of yours about? your writing is really good, so I wanna see what you had in mind

American Western style cowboys-and-bandits RPG! The story follows a young sheriff—daughter of the doting mayor of a newly settled town—and the group of masked bandits wreaking havoc via time-space manipulation

I only have the bandits' leader's design settled (which is an older oc design i repurposed for the story) so everyone else is extremely loose, but I'd like to make it all very colorful and cartoon-y by making the character designs styled after sweets/sugar/candy. that should give me a fair bit of artistic liberty, as well as some fun worldbuilding ideas

mostly i just love time travel stories and games that ask you to mess around with their own files, and i think those two aspects would work insanely well together. it's gonna be a headache to figure out how to do it, from a technical/programming perspective, but it would be uhhh very cool and I'd love to be the one to do that. smiles.

#i mean there's def people who've done that before. i need to put their games in my wishlist so i can study them under microscope like bugs #and also drown myself in traditional western vs spaghetti western films (my childhood....) as a refresher #so I can get The Flavor right #western style RPGs too. though my videoludic experience is wayyy smaller #answered asks #gumdrop dead

i think rosemary would have a cold war when getting ready for their wedding. as in they love each other. they do want to get married (as much as any...what. they were 17 or whatever in the credits?) can but I think looking down the barrel of commitment makes rose start to tweak about completely unimportant things like the floral arrangements and its like 9 pm 3 hours before their last chance at cancellation with no fees or delay to the service and she's like Kanaya my dear I will not let you ruin our sacred union with those centerpieces. Have you even thought about how'd they'd look against the tablecloth. we'd have to burn the photographs. we'd have to turn people away at the door before they saw. and kanaya is like Lalonde Why Are You Fucking With Me On This

#kanayas like 18 dress alterations deep on her gown she cant deal with roses horseshit on top of this. her chainsaw doubles as a seam ripper #rose keeps giving like noncommittals to the things that actually matter and spending too much time on and making no progress on stuff that #doesnt #the mind games and wenchery equivalent of moving food around your plate.#she gets really into like making an ice sculpture for the buffet table or whatever and it is a giant wizard statue and it means nothing that #she keeps fucking blowing it up with her wands #kanaya asks her to do the invitations snd she makes like a gay wizard fic related arg that each one has a different clue and shes like #writing on her laptop at 3 am instead of sleeping with her wife. dirks daughter #dave: why is rose sending me calligraphy ransom notes in the mail karkat: CLASSIC AVOIDANCE TACTIC. IN THE FILM ''THE ONE WHERE THE ARCH-'#dave: naw
