actually to bring up how watered down and sanitized the first 3 episodes of percy jackson has been, it raises concerns for later books. the stakes are supposed to be high from book 1 and the bar continues to be raised. it’s an action packed series with monsters and gods and deadly quests. there’s the possibility of being killed. which raises the question, when titan’s curse rolls around, how will they handle not one but two character deaths? this is the book that’s the turning point in the series, where everyone senses this tonal shift and that they’re favorite characters could actually die. that kronos is serious and this impending war will be real, with real casualties, injuries, and intense battle scenes. how do you sanitize a literal war?

#maybe they’ll take the route of the hp movies where the tone and color palette gets more dark and gritty with each film #but hp still included all the action scenes. and pjo I would argue has more so why is it being watered down #you don’t have to get too detailed with the violence but cmon #pjo tv crit #pjo tv show #percy jackson

SUBLIME CINEMA #661 - THE FRENCH CONNECTION

RIP William Friedkin. This is one of the most important films of the 70's and New Hollywood cinema, when American directors started taking fearless approaches to capturing the grit, bleakness and paranoia of the era, often in a style of unvarnished realism. I missed this entry because Friedkin had done so many great films, even later in his career, that this one is almost obvious.

Zhu YiLong in two years: *makes over a billion at the box office with Mo San Mei. Wins a Golden Rooster Award. Makes 3+ billion at the box office the following year with He Fei. Debuts his artsy crime noir Film as Ma Zhe at Cannes Film Festival that is nominated for Un Certain Regard Award, then it plays at different festivals around the world - proceeds to make 300 million at the domestic box office alone. Had three films air in total in 2023 & super well.*

…

My Silly Brain: *sometimes misses the times when he made dramas*

#i love this films so much because he has more freedom to do what he wants ironically #text posts #it wasn’t that long ago I mean the rebel was 2020 so is 3/4 it’s fine #3/4 years #zhu yilong #朱一龙 #please stand by for the queue #but dramas are nice because multiple episodes and etc etc #my gifs #he’s so talented man ;_; but I kinda want him to do a Republican Drama #or a gritty crime drama ya feel #朱一龍

Fred looking Sweet in S O U R

#3$BY era Fred was a fucking fine specimen #I'm a fan of that gritty-low-key-aura that surrounded him before the more “polished” SO and CSATHFW looks (but I still love those looks) #and on another note: look as much as adore young Marshall Mathers (yes I love referring to him by his government name) and his platinum hai #Freddy's platinum blonde hair looked just as beautiful but didn't get as much a spotlight compared to the Detroit rapper #and it's a shame because Fred rocked the look very well and this is my way of showing his bleached hair some much needed love and attention #Okay some of you may know that Sour is my fave 3$BY song/music video. #Making this gifset made me realize another reason why I love it so much. All the guys just look so fucking good in this video. #visually I've always found this video pleasing and the way the guys were filmed complimented them very well. #Fun Fact about my silly blog: Fred was the only LB member that I hadn't made a SOUR gifset about up until this point. #Congrats Freddy! You helped closed out my SOUR gifset series. #I'm too lazy to link all my other SOUR gifsets on this post. Just look through my blog's archive if you're really curious I guess. #Fred Durst #Limp Bizkit #nu-metal #Freddy D #The Chocolate Starfish is My Man Fred Durst #On my Freddy D bullshit for Fred Durst Friday #down the rabbit hole

Honestly I’m choosing to be an optimist and believe that Elden Henson at the least could still be in DD Born Again (haven’t heard anything about Deb so not sure there). As best I can tell, all the current rumors that he and Deb aren’t there trace back to a single article stating Elden and Deborah aren’t on the current call sheet. And having known folks who worked in TV, this doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t on the cast list. It just means that what DD is filming right now doesn’t require them - think action scenes, solo scenes. It could mean that, say, Jon’s on a time crunch and so they’re just going to shoot everything with him and Charlie first so he can leave and then they’ll hit everything else. It could mean, ‘yeah ok we buffed all our dudes up so we’re just gonna get the hardcore fights and the shirtless scenes done ASAP’. Kevin has been open about how much he loved Netflix DD, and the fact that he’s already pulled in Charlie, Vincent, and Jon, along with - seemingly - Krysten if the hints on twitter are right, makes me hopeful that this is just a, ‘They’re being secretive and are filming things in a certain order’.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed, anyway.

#daredevil #daredevil: born again #elden henson #foggy nelson #i'm holding onto what i know from folks who work in tv #they literally have to film this shit out of order and sometimes have to navigate cast schedules so i'm hoping #that they're just like #'yeah we gotta get all the gritty heavy stuff done first' #and then they'll come back to all the non-fighty hard core things and that's when elden will pop up #and where deb will pop up #alternatively marvel's just baiting people into talking about it like they did with all the rumors #about who would and wouldn't be in multiverse of madness #i'm not willing to make the leap yet and assume our foggy won't be there #i'm honestly not sure about deb cause i know she's said she hasn't gotten any calls and vincent has been campaigning to bring her back too #BUT #marvel contracts also tend to require you to pretend you're not gonna be in shit so idk

#high possibility that i might join the animation team for a student film #i had received an email today inquiring if i'd be interested in joining as a 2d animator #i took a look at the concept art so far and i immediately fell in love with the character/creature designs and art style #it has a really gritty look to it #and what drew me in was the fact that it's gonna combine 2d and 3d elements sorta like treasure planet #im so pleasantly surprised that they reached out to me OvO #the wisp whispers

Just came back from BBC and holy shit it was so cool. Both the radio and TV news presenters get given a bulletin of news and actually write the news script themselves and edit it to fit their speech. The TV presenter also has this pedal so she can control the prompt monitor hersel; I really thought the prompt screen was automatic. I also got to see the archives (which I was really excited about) and the food was really good! They had sanpellogrino which was very fancy and ofc, I drank like 4 cans of it lol. There was also this guy whom works for Scott Mills as a producer which was an honour and also met this tv director who had this like a VERY posh voice, a complete polar opposite to the radio people whom were very casual, very un-posh lmao. I even got a bunch of radio/tv tips from the presenters personally which was very helpful :)

A very important question I asked was what happened to Gus Honeybun (he's basically this funky bunny puppet whom reads out people's birthdays, it was from basically all Gen X/boomers' childhoods from the west country), unfortunately, the poor lad was sacked but they keep him in a local archive centre. It was a question my foster mother had requested and of course I couldn't waste an opportunity like this.

They all also really liked the fact that I'm into history and latin so they gave me connections to these archive centres and they're going to see if I can go into Exeter Cathedral's library to see the Exeter Book in person which I'm really joyed about because I fucking love the Exeter Book (and really old books in general but OH MY GODDDDD..... Maybe if I could also see the other medieval books and manuscripts... Perhaps in medicine for my history gcses mweheheh)

#rambles #look. I may have had my suspicions but huge kisses to the bbc and foster care system <3 #the employees believed my journalist lie #but thought I was a natural and I'd do REALLY good at being a researcher or archivist and would love me to work for the bbc #they'd have to save a spot for me in the next 5 years or so though lol #Anyway I had a better time that I initially thought. WAY better #I can't stress enough how much I loved it #I wish I could go into nitty gritty details like showing pics of the filming studio and political stuff but I feel like I'm rambling enough #ARGHH so much to talk about!!!

A character reacting with shock and horror to discovering the trauma someone they care about experienced is dramatic. However - I'd like to briefly enthuse about scenarios where they react calmly instead. You could certainly take it in a negative direction, where calmness indicates lack of care, but I prefer a positive one.

Maybe the character who's been hurt is afraid people will treat them differently because of their trauma, and so hasn't mentioned or shown scars associated with it. They can live with the memories of what happened, but not with others whispering about them sympathetically, or treating them like they're broken, or hiding things from them out of fear of triggering them.

Or maybe they're not coping well, but don't want to ask for help because they think their trauma means they're weak or 'damaged,' or they think they deserved it. Someone reacting dramatically might make them feel worse - more alone, and unusual in a negative way.

And of course - the same reasons that a calm reaction would go over well can be used to create some great angst in response to a reaction that isn't calm. :)

#this works well with kind of jaded characters especially i think #i'm picturing a gritty film noir detective sort again #looking at their friend's scars and saying something like #'the world's a nasty place pal' #'life screws all of us in the end' #or something similarly pessimistic but oddly reassuring in context #really don't know why gritty characters have been on my mind lately #but they have #whump prompt #whump tropes #sort of #my prompts #cw:ptsd #cw:self hatred #cw:ableism #some of them only implied
