#fun in a film though!

[blumineck]

How about the grenade arrows in RRR?

I'm sorry, but you've seen my videos, right? What do you honestly think my budget is?

(Seriously though, there are /so many/ topics I'd love to cover and try but can't for time/money/space reasons. I've not even covered fire arrows yet!)

#fwiw I think grenade arrows would suffer the same pitfalls as any other really heavy point on a regular arrow #unless it's a VERY stiff-spined war arrow shot from a heavy draw bow #it's basically going to either have no range #or break the arrow #or both #which is not a good day for you if it happens with a primed explosive #there's a reason some things are designed for throwing #but I think under the right circumstances you /could/ do it #but it's still a BAD idea #fun in a film though!

okay i will admit i enjoyed these three in the like. one scene they were actually all on screen together.

sofia voice shut up and get the fuck out goncharov, i’m gonna fuck your wife now.

#'sofia played an objectively small part in the film' SHE PLAYED AN OBJECTIVELY LARGE PART IN MY HEART. #i was going to make a post earlier today being like if i make goncharov fanart will you guys be mad at me but then i was like. oh well :) #goncharov (1973) #goncharov #katya goncharov #myart #unreality #okay goncharov spoilers --> #this is so funny to me. i woke up this morning and genuinely had a second wehere i was like. did people find out the shoe movie was #like. real??? or something??? but i like that we're just doing a collective hallucination instead it's fun. #it made me excited to draw something for a nonexistent movie. #irregardless though. #i tagged the original goncharov post also with 'goncharov' (i cant believe how many times ive typed that word lmao) #so if anyone is confused/wants to see the origin of the meme it's there. fake movie. #people are making stuff up about it but posting like it's real.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #wei wuxian #This is *specifically* fanart of the interfaith christmas cards featuring santa and his jewish rabbi husband spending time together #Why? Well as I was trying to think of things to draw for the season I realized there was another classic Blue and Red pairing to reference #They are going out for chinese food after this photoshoot. Kosher of course. #I want them to star in an interfaith hallmark film. A meet cute + save christmas + murder mystery in a small town kind of story #Or! Maybe they are just going to have a chill holiday break together and bake some treats with the extended family #So many fun possibilities about this bonkers concept I have no intention of making a bigger deal out of #speaking of Big Deals though; #If you have ever wanted to show appreciation for this (free) daily comics blog then I have one Holiday request: #If you have the means to - please donate your money to either a local food bank or a Yemen relief fund #there are so many people going without food and every bit helps.

Can we talk about The Dying Swan moment in Coda? As someone who was once a very serious ballerina, I need to talk about the Dying Swan. Here's your context --

CHAKOTAY: Harry's clarinet solo was okay. I could have done without Tuvok's reading of Vulcan poetry. But the highlight of the evening was definitely Kathryn Janeway portraying the Dying Swan. JANEWAY: I learned that dance when I was six years old. I assure you, it was the hit of the Beginning Ballet class.

Have you seen The Dying Swan? It is dramatic.

Here, take a minute:

First of all, this dance is much too advanced for a six-year-old, even if they’re doing it in demi pointe. (Six-year-olds emphatically should not be in pointe shoes btw.) The dance is almost entirely bourees and arm movements done to very subtle musical cues, not the foundational ballet moves typically taught in Beginning Ballet.

This is a very vulnerable, dramatic dance that is effective because of its subtleties. The performer would need to embody that vulnerability in some way for a convincing performance. It's short, but it's a solo piece -- all eyes on you. I mean, it was choreographed for a prima ballerina, BUT THAT'S NOT MY POINT

Can you imagine our unflappable Captain Janeway willingly getting in front of her crew to do this ballet? I get that it’s thematically relevant to the plot of Coda, but since Janeway is only vulnerable in front of her crew when it means putting herself in harm’s way, it seems like a wild decision. She tends to hold herself apart from her crew, maintaining the professional distance of the captain. Further, when she does any creative pursuit, it is almost always in private, since her sister was the artist in the family and she was the scientist. As a captain, she commands Voyager in a much different way than she would as a dancer with this piece. I'm not saying she never shows vulnerability because she definitely does, but not necessarily in this way. Then when she talks about it with Chakotay, she just casually brushes it off with a laugh like no big deal.

There’s also the question of costume – would she have gone full tutu? Done it in her Starfleet uniform? An impeccable yet flow-y white suit? She does get into costume and command a performance in Bride of Chaotica!, but Coda is still kind of early days for our captain. Arachnia aligns more with what we know about Janeway's character.

Granted, it is Chakotay laying down these complements about her dancing ability and he is clearly biased. To be fair, Neelix does too before they leave in the shuttle. If she did this dance and performed it poorly or amazingly, I feel like the crew would look at her a bit differently afterwards.

Canonically she did The Dying Swan, but I certainly have trouble picturing it happening.

#does everyone let it slide because she gets mind killed a bunch of times and attends her own funeral? #this throw away line has been living rent free in my mind for months now #coda is also a ballet term fun fact #star trek voyager #coda #Captain Janeway #this death doesn't mean anything though because no one else is saved so not janeway self-sacrificing goals #yes yes they probably just picked the first artistic performance with death in the title cause it's thematically relevant #i've thought about it much more than a normal person probably should #No one said I was a good ballerina but I did it for a long time #may or may not have filmed a video about this in my cosplay for a different platform #maybe have been sitting on it cause of editing and weird dudes being into me like why no #also let tuvok read his poetry i bet it's great #alien grim reaper dad is a great concept very creepy bring him back for more angst #just a little insane about the dying swan don't mind me #also insane about coda and voyager and janeway in general ok you got me #meta #I was falling asleep on the couch but then I had to rant about coda I’m sorry

Watched a double bill made in hell - 'Anatomy of a fall (2023)' and 'You're killing me Susana (2016)' - in the span of a few hours and now I don't ever want to get married in case I get stuck in a toxic marriage or rather stuck with a toxic man as my husband/partner

#you're killing me susana #anatomy of a fall #me estás matando susana #two wildly different films and messages #but the toxic masculinity in both phew #the women in the movies were not saints #however the men were straight up demonic #you're killing me susana had some comedic moments though which was fun (as was Gael's comedy acting) #also realised the title of Susana has killing in it and anatomy revolves around a murder mystery

[ID: 2 digital drawings of a spider-sona character - the same piece is shown in 2 different palettes. They have a medium build and are wearing a spider-man esque body suit, but with a loose sleeveless shirt, shorts, and a black net/lace cloak over the top. They're posed mid-motion, one arm up and one down as they pull out a length of web between their fingers, which is attached to some kind of spherical device fixed to one wrist. Behind them is a swirl of purples and pinks. The first palette is mostly monochrome grey, black and white with a few red accents, while the second is mostly red and black with orange accents. End ID.]

I finally made one o those funny spidersonas :> Their name is weaver and they specialise in spinning different kinds of webs for different purposes!

#all art #doodles #This was supposed to just be a sketch but I got really into it and also found out that the colour grading on the cintiqs at work is TERRIBL #spiderverse #spidersona #itsv #atsv #The thing on their wrist is a suped-up espinner and they can use it to change the texture of their webbing on the fly (haha fly cause. webs #But it can also be used as a weapon like a bola or smth similar you know the type #They've ended up half a sona and half an oc lol but I'm having fun #Can you believe it took me this long to do this though considering my obsession w these films....

sandor clegane girls you have GOT to watch pilgrimage (2017) ok please please. its a wonderful movie on its own its about ireland and faith and god and the land and one's own personal relationship with religion and redemption. PLEASE. but it will also break you if you go into it as a sandorgirl. and jon bernthal is sexy and shirtless in it.

#warning for cgi blood though and also tom holland but its pre-spiderman he was like 18 i think during filming #and its like a little homoerotic too if you need that extra push #LOTS of tonsures too if THATS the extra push you need #sandor clegane #i say “a little homoerotic” like it didnt infect my brain with yaoi worms but i wanna stress thats just for fun

I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.

It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.

By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.

Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.

#anti intellectualism #media #movies #books #music #critical thinking #my friend who primarily listens to one very popular band once said that people who listen to obscure music are annoying and pretentious #which rubbed me the wrong way because 1 she knows that I listen to obscure music and 2 it’s such a cowardly consumerist take. anyone can #make music and hey a lot of the people who do make GOOD music. and this goes for all *obscure* media #this post was mostly inspired by people talking about Barbie and those anti pick me girls like the pick nobody girls who insist thinking is #for boys and having fun with an empty brain is for girls. Greta gerwig is an artist. I haven’t seen the movie yet but I know it has a deeper #message than haha cute pink! I’ve seen the summaries about the true meaning. the pinkness and popularity doesn’t negate the narritive. #though in the notes I saw a lot of tumblristas comunistas shitting on the film for being one big ad that people *fell for* which tbh is #tbh almost as anti-intellectual. don’t get me wrong they milked this film to sell hella shit but I don’t believe kids who play with dolls #are the target audience as these people claim. Barbie is a culturally iconic symbol almost archetypical of societal expectations for women #you say barbie people think unblinking perfect plastic pink girly. reminds me of the poem The Last Mojave Indian Barbie. yeah yeah you all #hate brands but this one carries undeniable significance and makes for a powerful literary device. it’s been used many times before #sorry for writing a tag essay about a film I haven’t even seen but I’m tired of internet people focusing so much on proving others wrong #that they end up oversimplifying everything just as much as the other person. god I saw people doing this to Nimona saying transphobes were #looking too deep into her character and they’re reactionary clowns for making that jump. like for once the transphobes are right. she is #trans. it’s a queer story. and irl the first people who notice queerness are the bigots who can tell you’re different. sick owns telling #them the story’s not that deep is harmful and it’s like they’re ignoring the real message on purpose. okay enough rambling hehe! thanks #barbie #nimona

ngl the fight club book was a lot more...real? than the movie? like more grounded. which honestly made it feel MORE "unhinged" or whatever fincher was going for. like it's the difference of something trying to be weird (the movie) versus something just naturally being weird (the book). like people on tiktok forcing themselves to be weird by dancing when they get their food while people on here have actually stolen bones.

#also the narrators actor in the film. don't like him. #brad pitt wouldn't have been my choice for tyler either though he does play a fun one #kinda manic pixie dream girl ish tho #whereas tyler in the book was like that One Guy you know who's like a jack of all trades and he talks fast and he's either super #conservative or a very devout leftist anarchist #also helena bohman carter. horrible choice for marla. horrible.
