#this entire movie is improv

[sonknuxadow]

genuinely i dont think there needs to be a big extended sonic movie universe. i think 3 movies and a spinoff miniseries are enough. we do not need a bunch of sequels and spinoffs introducing all the characters and adapting every game . to be clear this wasnt prompted by any specific news i was just thinking about it

#and i say this as someone who LIKES the sonic movies btw #theyre not perfect theres some parts that i dont care for (like. the stuff with cops. sonic and friends dont like cops what are you DOING) #but i do for the most part find them to be a fun watch #however . we dont need a 4th one . please #i dont even get the point of adapting the entire game series like the games already exist just go play those #do people think that live action adaptations are an inherent improvement deserving of more respect or something ? #also just look at the mcu. its a mess thats literally impossible for the average viewer or casual marvel fans to keep up with #id hate to see the sonic movies turn into that even if im a dedicated sonic fan that would be able to keep up with it #now that i said this the third movie is probably gonna have a post credits scene #thats jusr silver showing up and going ITS NO USE !!!!!!!!!!!!! or some shit teasing a 4th movie

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"

#Which.. I mean... I am allowed to be biased because literally it's just for my own personal reference (or occasionall #y to send to friends or something if we're discussing the topic) so like.. nowhere am I saying 'I am the god of perfect taste and these #rankings are objectively the absolute truth and everyone should have my same opinion' or anything #BUT still.. it's funny to me sometimes #'Succession would be 100x better if it had the same cast/character quirks and shaky camera style and #acting choices/weird dialogue and general concept etc. EXCEPT it takes place within an elven noble family or something #managing the family business and everyone is in fantasy costumes now'' like.....okay...... but it's NOT that way..soo... thats not the show #''I like the acting style/general tone of Fleabag but i don't care for any of the characters or any of the subject matter and I wish it was #set in the 1800s and had vampires and was about magic instead'' okay..... again... you are making up an entirely new show in that case lol #OR my other beloved typical complaint ''The concept is good but theres too much plot and action and not enough people just sitting #around doing nothing and exposition dumping world and character lore'' ''this needs more goofy sideplots and filler episodes'' #''this Drama was too dramatic I think it should be more lighthearted & people need to sit around doing nothing just being weird more often' #''the Action Movie was ok except for the action scenes - which I skipped through all of- but I liked the costumes and worldbuilding'' etc. #ERM sorry your plot has too much plot. also elves have to be included somehow. bye #BUT SERIOUSLY!!!!!! I literally genuinely believe that any show I like (or even dislike) could ALWAYS be improved greatly by #putting people in fantasy or historical costume/setting/etc... why the FUNK would I want to see bland jeans and cars and cell phones #when I could see elaborate velvet cloaks and fantastical landscapes and interior design and innovative takes on historical or #magical technology or etc. etc. etc. I LIVE in the modern day. I see it all the time!!! BORING! stinky!! boo!!! #ANYWAY... another social divide for me.. People love to bond by discussing media. which is hard when I'm like #'I literally will not watch something at all unless it fits into one of these 10 extremely specific categories which are all i care about i #the entire world''.. I say this and yet I still dislike most fantasy or historical things I've watched lol. ok TWO main criteria then!! #it must 1. be in a different world or time period. 2. be goofy silly. Nothing ever has BOTH. It's always overly serious boring drama action #fantasy/history stuff OR it's comedic lighthearted but with modern day characters... WHY.. anguish and woe and so on.. #ANYWAY jhjnk... at least I can make that divide. Some people seem to project their own personal preferences and get really emotionally #defensive if you say you didn't like something - as if the fact that they DO like it is some Objective Truth or something rather than just #opinion/preference based. I can still easily say ''this is well made/well written/acted/good in a technical sense/has a lot of #points of appeal that most people would be drawn to/etc'' and admit that it's a GOOD show probably. I just PERSONALLY think its #bad because my tastes are very narrow. Some things ARE actually made badly but. things are not bad INHERENTLY just bc they dont suit ME lol #Better to recognize/accept whats odd about you and be peacefully aware of it than just being mad at everyone all the time for not fully #agreeing with you even when you're the one with the Weird opinion in that case lol.. I am right though :3 but.. lol... still. i get it

People who say that Beauty and the Beast (1991) endorses Stockholm Syndrome and domestic abuse have very grossly missed the entire point of the story.

#disney #beauty and the beast #meta #disney meta #txt #belle was never abused once by the beast in the movie. he was really just a jerk #y'all do realize that there are people who are jerks that aren't necessarily abusive #now they might have a higher inclination for it but no beast never abused her #the scene where he lost his temper was supposed to show how much beastly nature was having a hold on him and he immediately showed regret #afterwards. as soon as belle called him out on his bad temper he never tried any other shit ever again #y'all really think that if he was abusive he would have redeemed himself THAT quickly? #again he did act like an ass but he was not an abuser. i don't think he woulda even been able to stomach doing something to her #unintentionally or not #the entire point of the story is that despite him literally being a beast belle was able to see “beauty” in him #she was able to look past that and see that he was actually a good person but that he just needed to improve himself #see belle wasn't a “i can fix him” type. she was the inspiration for him to become a better individual #being with her made him feel things he probably never felt before. he felt loved wanted desired #that is what he needed but had stayed away from because of his own insecurities #which is also why this discussion about whether he was hot in his human form or not is irrelevant in the end #belle loved him for who he was and she probably thought he was the most beautiful man in the whole world both visually and spiritually #also beast respected and loved belle. gaston only lusted her and saw her as a pontential trophy wife to boost his social status #you see gaston and beast are actually quite similar in the beginning #but the thing is that beast has virtues that gaston lacks #beast also wanted belle just to break a spell although he did try to show her humanity to show that there was an emotional complex human #being but he did genuinely fall in love with her and let her go. he sacrificed himself and his servants because he truly loved her #gaston would have never done that before he was already too far gone in his fixation with being the BEST #anyways #i have gone long enough about this but you get my point

star wars expect obi wan is shirtless the entire time

#would've been choking on my own spit the entire time but thats a small price to play #there r a whole lotta things that could improve the movies and THIS is definitely one of them #and more cody #and plo koon #and wolffe #honestly just have them in the background of every scene even if it makes no sense to the plot whatsoever and ill be happy #star wars #obi wan kenobi #commander cody #clone wars #codywan #plo koon #commander wolffe #sw #aotc #tcw #would've saved even the attack of the clones im telling ya

i feel like im never going to be fully satisfied by any saw sequel (or the fanbase for that matter) bc i dont think the majority of ppl involved read jigsaw the same way i did.

#all these attempts to like humanize and flesh him out just end up totaly misrepresenting him and his goals #no he is not actually trying to improve the world hes a sadistic little man whos angry about dying and coping with it badly #he gets a front row seat to all his games and cuts trophies off his dead victims. bc he likes the violence #he puts people who absolutely DID NOT DESERVE IT (in saw 1 at least) in these elaborate death traps that they overwhelmingly fail to escape #sometimes he puts a completely innocent person in the crossfire (like seriously who is that guy who amanda had to kill to get her key) #hell they explicitly say that guy in the chair trap did nothing wrong he was just dying 'for a greater purpose' to test the trap. #but nobody ever acknowledges all this its just like 'what if we give him depth by saying serial killing isn't so bad' #and it never works and usually ends up with him being unbelievably self impressed and annoying #id honestly rather they explore his 'depth' by just. expanding on him as in denial and wanting revenge #which tbf i thought X was doing a decent job at until the last half hour when they threw the character study away entirely #like just give me a jigsaw who is angry at dying and takes it out on the Living because he has no other outlet. ill accept that. #him killing people who need to go can be like. gory tasteless fun in the sequels but it makes it like. #idk. less satisfying to me? or it just puts this wall up that makes the movies not come together the way the first one does. #avpost #movie diary

I have no opinion on Megamind 2. It's an interesting concept, sure, but just that- a concept. I think it could be cool if done right but alas, it will go on the same shelf as a potential sequel to Pacific Rim. Merely a thought experiment and nothing more.

#okay in all actuality though #IT LOOKS SO FUCKING BAD #THE VOICE ACTING RANGES FROM MID TO ACTUALLY TERRIBLE #THE ANIMATION HAS ERRORS IN THE TRAILER ITSELF AND THE CHARACTER DESIGNS ARE ALL OUT OF WACK ALONG WITH THE COLORING #THEY MADE AN ENTIRE SEQUEL AND DIDNT EVEN WATCH TO CONFIRM HIS ORIGIN. WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE HAS AN OLD CREW #ITS JUST A BAD SUPERHERO MOVIE FROM THE LOOKS OF IT. NONE OF THE THEMES OF TOXIC MASCULINITY OR SELF IMPROVEMENT FROM THE ORIGINAL #AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE LOOPING FUCKING TRAILER MUSIC #STOP MAKING SOULLESS CASH GRABS OF THINGS I LOVE IM FUCKING BEGGING YOU #megamind #megamind 2 #dreamworks #superheroes #it will simply go in the folder with Pacific Rim Uprising and M Night's ATLA. Things that never existed that we will never speak of #as usual im late to the discussion on things. thats just how i am baybee

every single time i watch that scene when charlie takes tina's lipstick i just assume he's just gonna put on his lips this time. it does not matter i watched this movie like 20 times now,

" maybe this time it will be different " — me, delusional

#i genuinely believe this change could improve the entire movie btw #like exchange all the racism with gender fuckery please! #now that fall is in full swing i've been rewatching it constantly #charlie dalton #dead poets society #dead poets headcanons #ch: for years i've been risking nothing #hellton boys #i2maz

Thinking again about New Management AU and it just occured to me

If I go the blorbo route and stick to Roxy as being the first one because she's one of the biggest pains in the ass they have to keep making compromises for, then wouldn't she kinda go mad with power

Like, there's no way she'd believe she was given any power out of nowhere like that! Wouldn't she test this by making the stupidest demands possible just to be like "Ha! I told you I had no power!"

The question is, what would she do to test it? Something very much against the rules probably.

#fnaf security breach #how to find out if you were really given free reign of your attraction or not: set up a free movie night with a rival company's movies. #sdfdfs can you imagine if that actually works #or maybe she just goes absolutely ham on the health and safety stuff because she knows fazbea ent would rather implode than make the plex- #safe. #like #they would rather make their animatronics waterproof than fix the leak in the ceiling #so now roxy is making the raceway the most structurally sound and safest place in the entire plex. #and she gets away with it! #just sat there like 'are you kidding me' #because faz ent literally just. #let her do it???? #they let her spend their thousands on improved seatbelts and racing overalls???? #for realsies??? #dayum #freddy: you... improved the safety? of the raceway? #roxy: obviously. it needed to be done and it was the best way to see if faz ent really had given me power or not. #freddy: ........... i thought you hated health and safety???? #roxy: only when you're enforcing it. #freddy: >:O #lmao sddsf #no though what kind of shit to you pull to see if fazbear ent are letting you do stuff now??? #what would piss off corperate more than safety??? #hmm #/lighthearted /thoughtful

okay i've been thinking about this forever

#pls vote bcuz i literally dont know which to do #if i do movies first i get the entire plot BUT get to look forward to all the details the films didnt cover! #but if i do books first i get the entire story & get to see how they adapted or improved on the content! #I LITERALLY DONT KNOW WHICH I PREFER! #(p.s. i already read the hobbit) #lotr #polls

[unrecorded]

one of my bajillion paid survey apps just sent me a survey about:

whether i would be interested in watching a movie based on goncharov (1973)

whether i think a goncharov movie should be made

if i signed up for/retrieved a tumblr account after the twitter fiasco (interestingly, there was no option for "i've literally been using tumblr for the past five years")

terrifying. how do we get the corporate spies out of our internet

#literally the idea of making a goncharov movie goes against the entire point of goncharov #it's the greatest mafia movie ever made. it's a world we will never and can never stop adding to and building upon. it's a myth #you can't pin that down. you can't try to make it a material solidly defined thing any more than you can trap sunlight between your fingers #it's entirely missing the point and moreover #it is just fucking offensive to see marketing wonks look at our improv game slash beautiful (?) creation and think how do we monetize this #like idgaf if a creator decides to pitch their own interpretation of the goncharov mythos #but a survey scoping out audience interest in a goncharov movie is not that #goncharov

The reason why 2000's cgi looks better than modern is because they also tended to use practical affects alongside it. But nowadays, movie studios don't seem to want practical effects, just shoddy CGI on its own that is easy to produce

Ohh, I see, that makes sense. This made me remember that my brother said something along the same lines, that they used to use more built sets which made everything feel more real. Practical effects and CGI are a brilliant combo if the 2000s are anything to go by, it's such a shame modern movie studios are wimps and losers

#cap talks #cap answers #thanks!! #I want the 2000s back :( #don't get me wrong there's a lot that could be improved upon in the 2000s #but somehow I don't think we did that #so let's just go back and make everything go right this time #like not making practical effects disappear and not let an entire industry sleep on the combo of that and cgi for better movies #because they're cheapskates and often not just cheapskates but also fucking stupid #movie maker's brains are..... really weird

I'm going to be so honest guys, every part that just shows the whipple family, I can honestly not care for at all

#like I like the humans mostly #tom is neat maddie is great rachel was bit iffy in 1 but improved in 2 and jojo is sweet #randall was an interesting thing to happen. like definitely not bad and an actual introduction for us to g.u.n. #and ofc I appreciate that g.u.n. are complete idiots because theyre pretty much useless in game canon aside from MURDERING MARIA AND ITS #STILL STUPID TO WRITE SHADOW AS WORKING FOR THEM #but I digress #I just. cant care for wade LOL he has a funny line or 2 altogether in the series so far but I mean. hes just a comedic side character #and ngl! I dont see myself caring for his family either! I didn't want wade in the first place I wanted Maddie to be the 2ndary for Knux #but. I mean. here we are I guess lol #StH #Sonic Movies #This isnt entirely meant to bash the movies #hell no. like I said I do enjoy the humans enough and I do think tom and maddie highly compliment team sonic #I just do not care for wade in particular. like. at all #OH FUCK WAIT HOW COULD I FORGET AGENT STONE I LOVE AGENT STONE HE SHOULD BE IN EVERYTHING FOR REAL #Knuckles show

I hate how now every time a discourse is being had about classic Disney movies, the godawful remakes (or retellings) have to be included in the conversation. It's no longer just the animated movie that is adressed. You can't discuss Aladdin without its 2019 remake, Sleeping Beauty without its 2014 remake, The Little Mermaid without its 2023 remake, Beauty and the Beast without its 2017 remake, The Lion King without its 2019 remake, Mulan without its 2020 remake, etc, etc, etc. I hate how they will be forever attached to these classic movies. It actually pisses me off to no avail.

#anti disney #disney remakes #txt #“akshually this version did a lot of things better such as emphasizing the agency of these heroines” bro that was already in the original #movie and there was more to them anydamnways #the only remakes that are truly worth it are the cinderella one and the jungle book one #the rest are hot garbage that missed the point of the story and added unnecessary changes to the animated classics because they thought they #needed to be “improved”. fuck you fuck you fuck you FUCK YOU #i'm so mad that i didn't even censor that damn word #live-action adaptations of animated works are destroying what made the original work so special #they rarely get it right #call me a pissbaby and that i'm too attached to nostalgia. idc #hollywood doesn't give a damn about the medium of animation to this day and it shows with how they treat animated works #they give these adaptations and remakes/retellings that miss the entire point of the original work and unfortunately some people do defend #these obviously attempts at getting money out of people's nostalgia #they accuse us of being too attached to the original work because of nostalgia but they were the ones who bought into because of that lmao #and they actually liked it. you weren't THAT big of a fan then ma'am

It's so funny to me how the shopkeeps n such in old movies and the twilight zone are always shown as mature respectable adults, while the cashiers in movies these days are always comedically young/bored/bepierced individuals who the main characters don't take seriously

#and by funny i mean it's about the loss of unions and how even tho the majority of jobs are service due to the nature of needing food. #the service jobs are treated as if they're entirely unimportant and laughable in their very existence #to be clear being young or bored or pierced doesn't cause me to disdain my cashiers #but the movie characters often do #improving

the lack of taste going on in my boyfriend's friend group (the one we have movie night with anyway) is truly staggering

#beginning to think they only liked knives out as a bid to throw me of the scent (of them having no taste whatsoever) #who the hell doesnt like the princess bride! what is wrong with you all!!!! #>:[ #actually to be entirely honest here i do think this is a movie that improves upon rewatch. idk why #but i enjoyed it a lot more this time around
