“I think the biggest misconception is that there’s a giant machine behind her, or like a big factory or massive team of people,” Wilson told IndieWire at the 2020 Sundance Studio. “What I was so struck by is that she’s the sole creative force behind everything in a way that I found incredibly inspiring.”

I haven't done any posting on social media almost all year and so the fact that I went and hunted down my Tumblr login should tell you just how THRILLED and GRATEFUL I was to cover the making of Dimension 20 for work. All it took was explaining to The Bosses™ that Actual Plays are not things where viewers... actually play... that was a new one. 😅

Anyway, please go read about how Rick Perry is a genius and the D20 team collaborate in ways that uplift the art they all make. Aabria Iyengar said so. It must be true.

Wait I thought Loki season 2 is getting good reviews everywhere, could you cite some examples?

I really can’t stand what they did with Loki in season 1 and it still feels the same..

Here are a couple of examples that I found. Basically, the general complaints are that the show isn’t focused around Loki, it’s filled with way too much exposition about the multiverse and timelines, and Loki is boring and completely unrecognizable from his previous appearances… which, again… did y’all watch S1??? This isn’t new. Also a decent number of reviewers are clowning on the show for basically becoming a McDonald’s commercial (and rightfully so)

The inside story of how an American animation company laid it all on the line to make the English-language version of Hayao Miyazaki's "last" film a devastatingly beautiful must-see event.

This article is a really fascinating look into the process of dubbing 'The Boy and the Heron'. I really recommend reading the whole thing.

Dan Stevens mentions:

“Earwig and the Witch” alum Dan Stevens is such a devoted Ghibli fan that he agreed to come back and deliver a few lines as one of the many different henchbirds that do the bidding of Dave Bautista’s Parakeet King (“It’s very cool to get a sneak preview of a new Miyazaki movie,” he told me, “and to be in the mix for what might potentially be the last one is just epic”).

...

Fukuhara didn’t have any frame of reference for what the rest of the dub would sound like when she stepped into the booth (when she and Stevens spoke to IndieWire over Zoom for this article, it was the first time the two of them had ever met)

... there’s a fable-like quality to “The Boy and the Heron” that serves the moral dimension of Miyazaki’s latest and possibly final film. It speaks to the timelessness of a story designed — in the most explicit terms — to outlive its author. A story designed to be transformed by the people who tell it, even though its essence is singular in a way that no one would ever be able to erase altogether. It’s the story at the heart of a movie that will stand as a monumental achievement for as long as we can imagine, even as the world continues to turn its back on beautiful things, and the infrastructure that allows for their creation continues to crumble. “The Boy and the Heron” tells us to build our own tower, and GKIDS, with its bold and deeply personal English dub, has done just that.

"Taylor Swift, "Barbie," "Oppenheimer," and "Sound of Freedom" saved 2023. Next year will need more surprise blockbusters to paper over the gaps."

I'm so done with Indiewire. You'd think someone claiming to be "indie" would have a minimum ammount of critical distance towards a propaganda piece that didn't even hide its ugly bias, and then they sum it up as a saving cinema piece? I don't know a single person that saw it or even bothered to consider it, because it was pandered to the most right wing possible audience. I'm just honestly disgusted by the incredibly lazy film journalism going on and people posting such articles under the banner of film criticism and journalism. Of all the films they could have covered more extensively that actually deserve it (like all the great independent films), they regurgitate this kind of nonsense. I don't think i've seen a single mention of the new Nuri Bilge Ceylan film (just an example), the director that won more Cannes and other awards than anyone involved in SOF ever will. ShittyWire.

Olivia Wilde’s off-the-rails press tour for “Don’t Worry Darling” started with the “Booksmart” helmer praising the film for being a beacon of female pleasure (spoiler: lead star Florence Pugh’s character is repeatedly raped in retrospect and cannot consent since she is chained to a bed and held captive unconscious). In a splashy pre-release cover story, Wilde made what seemed to be a sex-positive statement to Variety: “Men don’t come in this film. … Only women here!”

A source revealed to IndieWire that the highly controversial set was without an intimacy coordinator at the request of director Wilde, all while off-set she emphasized just how sexy and Adrian Lyne-y the sex scenes between Pugh and Styles were on her year-long press tour. “Why isn’t there any good sex in film anymore?” Wilde infamously asked, promising that “Don’t Worry Darling” would rectify that.

“I think the idea that just because you have a female lead character, that instantly makes the film feminist, is a bit naïve. bell hooks said it best. She said, ‘Patriarchy has no gender,'” Menkes said. “As women, we have internalized a lot of these concepts on a very, very deep level to the point that they’re just reproduced. When women directors reproduce these tropes, you wonder how much is just automatic. I ask the same question of women that I ask of men: How do you think that reproducing the same shit is supposed to be revolutionary or commenting on it? Because we have had 120 years of the male gaze on our backs, because we have had 96 percent of films directed by men that objectify women all throughout history. It’s so ingrained, it’s so deep.”

While Menkes credited Wilde for employing a feminist shot design and use of visual language, especially when filming lead star Pugh’s nudity, Menkes noted that on a script level, “Don’t Worry Darling” is decidedly anti-feminist. Why?

Well, mainly because none of that hot sex Wilde boasted about is consensual. Spoiler alert: The ending of “Don’t Worry Darling” is that Pugh’s character is actually being held hostage by her abusive incel partner (Styles) and literally chained to a bed as they live out their “ideal” lives in a virtual reality simulation called Victory. Pugh eventually escapes, but there is no redemption. It’s a rape fantasy without the rape-revenge.

The plot of “Don’t Worry Darling” is hardly feminist when examined more closely, but behind-the-scenes issues are troubling as well: A source told IndieWire that more than half of the production assistants were not included in the film’s credits, despite being listed on IMDb. The production assistants left out, including COVID compliance officers, are all women. (IndieWire has reached out to representatives for the “Don’t Worry Darling” production for comment.)

"There’s something Swiftian in everything she creates, even when she is not explicitly discussing herself. Her works reflect emotional honesty, specificity, and a desire to be seen. Obviously people care deeply about seeing her, but she knows how to channel that energy into creating a compelling story."
