Please do not reblog.

Colin Trevorrow needs to be fired HOLY HELL.

The new Jurassic World movie is an insult to the existence of brains. When I heard people clapping in the cinema (which is uncommon where I’m at) I legit booed. Wow, what a movie...

I really need to vent, because this movie... OH MY GOD. No, no, no, for the sake of everything, do not incorporate animal rights themes/parallels if it’s clear you don’t know what you’re doing.

Spoilers for one of the introductory scenes of the film below. Also, I am an animal rights/vegan activist, and as it’s a big passion of mine (and my special interest), I’ll be going into that aspect as well, and I WILL be in my crazy hyper passionate will overindulge in talking about this mood, so get outta here if you don’t want that! It’s going to get VERY long and I’m doing this more for myself than anything, so please don’t start any bullshit in the comments and let me indulge goddammit!

There’s one specific thing that particularly pissed me off that I wanna write about here. I don’t tend to go into much detail about my support of/passion for the animal liberation/vegan movement here for a multitude of reasons, but you will see snippets of it sneak into my writing (e.g. I avoid anthropocentrism, I avoid referring to animals as ‘it’, that kind of thing). I genuinely grow extremely annoyed when I see fiction attempt to tackle the subject, and clearly be written by someone who not only knows nothing about the movement, but also holds no interest for it either. Just taking the aesthetic or the ‘comfortable’ parts while upholding the dominant and invisible ideology of carnism.

There’s a lot wrong with this movie; an insulting script, disgraceful hoards of plot holes, surprisingly boring, etc... but oh my lord, I’d like to focus on this animal rights thing because I don’t think most people will comment on this, and I wanna write about it.

The movie opens with characters trespassing an illegal dinosaur farm/breeding facility, all clad in black and hiding their faces as they document the conditions the dinosaurs are kept in. They are horrified by the conditions and decide to liberate and escape with a sick baby dinosaur because they’d die otherwise, due to the neglect.

This isn’t aluding to or mildly paralleling what activists fighting for animal liberation do... this is LITERALLY what some of us do (I personally have not done direct action, my activism is focused on outreach– but I’d love to do it someday, or vigils, but that’s a whole other story). The imagery of them clad in black and freeing the dinosaur as they make an escape from authorities is... it’s literally just the fucking ALF (Animal Liberation Front). Well, the ALF do lots of property damage, so you could also compare it to people who do the basic documentation (without such damage), but end up rescuing an individual who would otherwise die.

But then the rest of the film does what most others do, to a rather uncomfortable level considering what came before... there’s a noticeable level of casual/unquestioned animal exploitation here, even objectification (a quote from the film is something like “our food, and our food’s food will disappear”, in reference to the loss of crops. Reducing a sentient being to just ‘food’, a someone to a something– which is a focus of my novel, so this gave me a fair amount of motivation to GO AND WRITE IT AND ACTUALLY MAKE A STORY THAT DARES TO CHALLENGE THE READER AND HAVE A SERIOUS DISCUSSION OF ANIMAL LIBERATION (oh the horror!).

It’s a very small thing, but there were other things too, and it all comes together to normalise and avoid questioning what you’d think the film might want to question, you know? It angers me to see the decision to take what activists do in real life, activists who are mocked by some of the general public for having compassion and opposing injustice, taking that imagery and everything they do for animals, and using it in such a cheap and thoughtless manner (considering the rest of the film very much upholds typical carnist attitudes, beliefs and actions). It angers me as an activist myself. As the movement grows– which it absolutely is– this kind of thing really isn’t going to age well... hell, it already aged horribly because this movie’s a JOKE, even if it hadn’t butchered the subject the way it did.

Holy hell I truly believe carnists should not dare to incorporate animal rights/liberation into their story if THIS is how they treat the subject.

Anyhow, my apologies. It’s late, I’m annoyed that this movie was as bad as it was, I’m dead tired and I don’t do much activism during uni, so I got a lot of pent up energy in me. Preferably don’t reblog this because I don’t have the energy to deal with people getting all up in my face if they disagree.

Oh my God I’m tired. This movie drained me.

And yes I swear I’m beginning to work on drafts.

#(ooc)#mun #I'm a lil anxious posting this but... I wrote so much #plus my view as an activist is important to me so #God I am so tired what is life #y'all be good now #oof I need sleep #running on 3 hours today #also the Giganotosaurus deserved so much better in this movie #he deserved better THAN this movie #go away Colin stop killing the franchise ahahahahahaha

Okay, so I watched the Zoey 102 trailer and I saw a scene with Quinn running in her wedding dress. I'm gonna say it now, if at some point she runs away with Del Figgalo, I'm taking no hostages, I will fucking burn the place to the ground. Don't test me.

#if it happens all my faith in humanity will be lost #quogan deserves so much better than that #seriously even if Mark is sort of an important secondary character the fact that he is invited at all is kinda sus #zoey 101 #zoey 102 #zoey 101 movie #quinn pensky #quogan #logan reese #mark del figgalo #Nickelodeon #paramount +

yeah but like. I'm just saying. in his intro in itsv noir says he likes to drink egg cremes and no one made THAT his whole personality so why does damn near every spiderverse tweet thing have pavitr's handle be something about Chai and why is the name for his ship with hobie "Chaipunk" and why is

#listen i know hes not there for a LOT of the movie but he deserved better than the 'this food i mentioned is my personality now' treatment #or maybe this is a miss idk #pavitr prabhakar #mine #atsv #across the spiderverse #spiderverse

just spent two fucking hours watching film gold. why did nobody tell me tesoro's backstory was only going to be a crunchy, 30-second montage. so many people told me i'd like him and yeah i do but WHERE'S the backstory, man. fuck. i'm so mad. i know he's the villain but how am i supposed to get into the story if i can't sympathize for the villain a little like... c'mon....

#i thought “oh i had a horrid day let me watch this movie i'll feel better”#i feel WORSE #there was a lot in the montages but it was SO glazed over #that's TWO HOURS of my life i can't get back #do you know how much i can do in two hours if i'm feeling productive #that's a whole oneshot right there #maybe i'll write a oneshot about how... annoyed i am #for tesoro #he's a dick but he deserves better than 30 seconds #even doflamingo had a longer backstory what gives #genrambles

Ok who was gonna tell me that original Pey'J was husband material?

#captain laserhawk #beyond good and evil #Pey'J #Much prefer this to his Laserhawk counterpart and not just because of that one scene #Laserhawk Pey'J feels very much like an arrangement of tropes to fit the show's narrative? Idk how else to describe it #BGE Pey'J feels way more like an actual person who has more to him than “Jade's uncle”#He isn't afraid to be goofy and raunchy as well as having relationships with other characters #While in Laserhawk (for the utter worse) his character is tied to Jade and he barely reacts to anyone after killing Pagan Min #I think it's partly because they do nothing with the weird incest thing but Pey'J could've been literally anyone else TBH #Still think he should've died first and Jade lived (preferably for the whole show because she deserves better!)#I need to watch the cutscene collection “movie” proper but that's just my thoughts on skimming through stuff

Girls when the character they hated in their childhood is on the cusp of becoming an f/o for the exact reasons you hated them

#pr*ship dni pls #i hate him.......... i want him dieded................#he's a jealous little prick with an attitude then reduced over the years to a sopping wet people-pleaser. he's pathetic #he overcompensates for his past snark by bending over backwards for people. gets treated like shit and goes on with it #because perhaps he thinks he deserves it #HE DOESN'T #and btw uh. um. small detail. he's kind of a pullstring cowboy doll from a famous animated franchise and yes i'm mad about that #why couldn't my brain focus on something useful wtf is a 🤠#no but as a little kid i fucking hated him for no reason.#but who sobbed her eyes out when he left in the last movie? me. because i'd rather he be a prick than treated bad for NO reason #it's better when he's an ass and THEN treated bad if he's just treated bad with no consequence it's just unfair and sad #let him do something that makes him DESERVE to be treated harshly because that's funny. when he's just a sweetie and everyones' mean to hi #makes me kinda sour in the mouth tbh #👢🐍#f/o #fictional other #selfship #selfshipper #selfshipping

I love snow piercer, i think it's cevans' best acting and I spent the whole movie like this 👁️👄👁️

I’m actually impressed by Chris’ acting like every time I watch a movie of his 😂😂😭😭 it’s almost like I keep forgetting that he’s a good actor but then ESPECIALLY when he acts with less talented actors ***cough ana de armas and emily blunt cough*** you can really see how good he is 😭😭😭

#yall know I don’t much like this man anymore but I’ll still say he’s such an underrated actor #and clearly Hollywood doesn’t see him as anything more than an mcu actor #which is why he’s going Netflix movies and hallmark movies with the rock #but he deserves better roles fr im just so confused 😭😭😭 why he isn’t being more ambitious about it #and now he’s most likely done lol #anon

I love blue beetle and its message and I wish more people had watched it and I understand that the lack of promotion both because of the strikes and because the studios don't give a shit has affected it negatively and the role that racism/xenophobia play in people's disinterest towards the characters in general BUT PLEASE let's also not forget about superhero fatigue

#i keep seeing people complain about the marvels and blue beetle flopping like: we finally got representation and people aren't showing up #and honestly have they considered that these movies (although valuable stories) are being made in part as a last ditch attempt at relevancy #marvel didn't make the Black Widow movie when it thought it had something to lose which ironically would've been a better statement than #those post-mortem crumbs they tossed at us with it #black adam shang chi blue beetle eternals and whatever else... people forget these studios need audience more than the audience needs them #they're not doing it cause representation suddenly matters (and I don't mean creators and especially not poc I mean the suits)#they're doing it cause they have something to gain and nothing to lose that they're aren't losing already (attention/public interest)#and above all else: money #so sure it's upsetting that one of my favorite superheroes is not getting the love he deserves but look at the market baby #we're fucking tired and these crumbs don't help and the political climate is a mess #studios wave diversity on our faces and even preach some good messages but then they go and put their money where exactly?#hm.#blue beetle #marvel #dceu

I absolutely love Lemonade Mouth but Wen’s dad proposing to his girlfriend and asking her to move in without even telling his son first is the absolute most dick move ever and Wen is absolutely allowed to be upset about it

#He’s a teenager who is upset about his mom being gone #and you’re bringing this random girl into his life and making absolutely no effort to make it okay with his son #like Sídney made more effort than he ever did she deserves better than Wen’s dad tbh #lemonade mouth #i will forever have opinions about this movie #one of the greatest movies of all time and I say that completely unironically
