good god it's been a while since i watched this show but it's just so well written
16:55
something happened that i genuinely couldn't believe and then as it sank in, the characters all heard a different story to what happened and the dramatic irony was just. freezing cold
16:56
especially considering what happened is honestly just fucked up
Edge of Spider-Verse comic writer Steve Foxe took to Twitter earlier in June to reveal Web-Weaver, a brand-new Spider-Man variant who also happens to be the first LGBTQ+ Wall-Crawler in Marvel Comics.
But I feel if it's just grim dark and everyone's angsty and it's wrong to care it's just a huge turn off to me
20:43
I havent watched invincible (I plan to tho) but the way the main character is endlessly beaten and the whole world tries to make him just give up, especially in the finale but he doesnt give in feels like much better and way less boring then just everything sucks all the time and theres no point in fighting back
20:44
also I dont know how it ends and I want to find out when I watch it but please dont spoil it
Marceline
But I feel if it's just grim dark and everyone's angsty and it's wrong to care it's just a huge turn off to me
and it's a good show because it's not just angsty and grim and everything is sad
21:53
it's a meaningful show with a strong anti-corporate sentiment about regular joes doing what they can to stop a threat of significant power
21:54
The characters are really endearing even when unlikable and even though a lot of people are pretty shit and a lot of things are exaggerated to be cynical, there's still an angle of humanity in it all
21:54
the relationship between two of the characters especially is powerfully wholesome and sweet
I wish to watch invincible but I dont want to give Amazon a penny, does
Anyone know how I could [legally acquire] the show,
I am asking because I find it annoying to [watch a show with the copyright holders permission] and I'm not too well versed in said process outside of anime

merry christmas mister lawrence was a weird movie but it is a music star in a movie done right. whatever that harry styles movie was, horrendous
20:58
i was quite fond of the soundtrack
20:59
but! back to my original point. i have never consumed one piece but it is below me. why bother when the godfather has cornered such beauty perfectly
20:59
fantasy stories have footing to fall upon, footing unavailable with t the most delicate stories to write - that which centre only around the human mind, the ethos and the subtle wars which we wage each day(edited)
21:01
the godfather is a perfect example of this. so many hidden details and paths that we follow our characters upon and through a comparatively short journey to most long-form anime... it is unmatched
21:01
when you write over 1000 episodes of media i'm sure you're bound to find something good eventually. the perfect media? what about all those lows during it?
21:01
and yet, silence.
21:02
your feeble minds have not even a ledge to desperately hang upon. you continue to fall.
you come into my domain dressed in tawdry philosophies and paint me as the blind fool?
21:03
bold.
21:04
you say that as if each layer of that lollipop to be savoured over hours is sweet. when there are layers filled with blandness and the taste of defecation, would you so willingly sit through those layers?(edited)
21:05
while, yes. in life, there are times when suffering creates character and meaning. but not all suffering is meaningful.
21:05
and in the context of an art, to liken your silly fantasy show to the trials and tribulations of life, you truly have no sense of value.
21:06
you'd appraise pyrite as a priceless relic. not unlike what you do now.
ingrates can't let you enjoy your superiority in peace.(edited)

and yet, they refuse to go quietly.

how bothersome...

hounds do not listen to reason, but they watch with eager eyes the bait you throw.

i gave it a humorous review but i genuinely think raiders of the lost ark deserves its status as a classic film. even if it didn't strike me as a 5 star film i feel with time it'll grow on me. the setpieces and score were marvellous and it was a very fun time all around with ford's rebellious and wise guy charisma shining through as jones

Bottom line, the book was fantastic. I've watched the movie a couple years ago so I remembered some beats but I assumed the book to be different and a lot of stuff I just didn't remember from the movie
21:50
It's very different from the movie in presentation and tone because the book allows it to be from Bateman's own inner mind rather than a third person perspective with commentary. The entire journey is carried through his conscience and it just has nuance to it that the movie wouldn't be able to carry.
21:55
The movie still captures the same ideas but changes things around to fit the movie better. The movie is still a criticism of the wall street business-men, their shallow pasts, presents and futures with the void of growth through struggle being embalmed by materialism.
21:57
But! The book does something different entirely. It humanises Bateman and makes you see the world from his perspective. At a point, you become desensitized to his cruelty and the violence, and you start to construe yourself alongside the monster. The book is absolutely a cautionary tale of what you should never be as a human but it also shows that this could be anyone, and they're not as alien as you think.(edited)
21:59
It doesn't have a clear end or a starting point, the book just exists. It is only as complex or elusive as it needs to be, but every line of detail and thought creates a greater image of not a person, but a thing.
I'll take your word since I've neither seen nor read it
23:16
However I'm a fan of the fact that they seem to understand their mediums
23:16
assuming your points about the book showing the inner thoughts and the film showing 3rd person hold water, then it in itself is an interesting argument on the topic of "what mediums can uniquely provide"
my opinion on Avatar was "It was good all the way through (even at Koras worst it was still pretty ok)" but it's over and I no longer want more.

On April 12, 2022, at the age of 67, Gottfried died in Manhattan from recurrent ventricular tachycardia, complicated by type II myotonic dystrophy. He had not made his condition public.
even had I executed that joke perfectly, my fate would stay the same. the voice cast forth by delivering a joke so exhausted that throwing its limp, sad body out becomes the centerpiece, that voice would be the last thing I hear, with no fear instilled in it by the certainty of death, yes, but a rude interruption by the punctual nature of it.
16:39
it's the metaphorical swan song. had I recounted a sonnet, a fact, an exclamation of love, anything- death still would come for me. and so, I have no remorse.
The story in Dragon Ball Kakumei picks up right after the Tournament of Power and deals with the consequences of Android 17 restoring the erased universes. In addition to the six universes destroyed by Zeno, the wish brought back Universe 19, which has warriors that are powerful enough to take down Zeno and the angels.
i'm googling it, it seems like the terms "online" and "offline" editor predate the internet
13:48
Offline editing is actually a rough or draft cut of the project by editing a low-quality footage together, so the main editor and possibly director could get ideas for the final cut. Another role for an offline editor is to create an edit decision list (EDL) which is similar to log sheets (a list of shots). It is very important because once the offline editors done a list of the shots they put in a rough cut, the online editor would follow and make changes in order to edit a final cut. Offline editors can also make creative descisions; shots, cuts, dissolves, fades, etc.
>
Online editing is a final cut of the project by editing a high quality footage together. Online editors would reconstruct the final cut based on the EDL, created by the offline editors. They will add visual effects, lower third titles, and apply color correction. I noticed that the reason the offline editing has to be done first is because it is cheaper to use in a long period of time in contrast to online editing.
she committed suicide a month after its publication
12:17
the book is almost biographical in nature and it often left me feeling kind of heavy after reading it(edited)
12:19
it's a fascinating read and I flew through it in about two days. apparently it has adaptations but I wouldn't bother. the book is great
12:20
it's witty but some passages leave me blindsided once I finish reading them. it's very powerful and feels like an angry letter to the world
12:22
one image in the book seemed strangely visceral to me and then I discover that plath herself had experienced that very image, and it cemented the book as an incredibly raw expression of emotion(edited)
reading the book "confessions of a mask" by yukio mishima
23:26
in the passage i am reading he mentioned not being able to swim and for the rest of this passage he has described the seaside and the ocean in a delicate prose
23:27
it's nice but I am currently being gripped by the memory that I almost drowned once
23:28
it happened due to youthful ignorance and will for adventure
23:29
I went out too far and lost the ability to wade through the waters. an old woman pulled me back in, and to this day, I'm not sure what would have happened was she not there
getting a phone call to come back to be a power ranger in a similar fashion to how a worn down retired veteran detective gets asked to return to a cold case that's been reopened after 25 years and they down a shot of hard liquor and slam down the empty glass
It is predominately European and American, however the defining features of the genre can be found in Kurosawas works, backed up the fact alot of directors associated with the genre site him as inspiration.
I reccomend it. Not as a fantastic movie (but it is good) but as a good adaptation of seven samurai.
13:13
really intresting how the movie is still good in spite of the aesthetic change because the heart of the story and a respect for the original is still there
django (1966), the wild bunch and the good the bad and the ugly are cowboy movies I love
13:15
the first sword fight of seven samurai was a big deal for me because it didn't shake the camera really violently or zoom in really close on each swing, etc.
13:15
if that was good I knew I was going to love it
13:15
and it was great.
corrupted bitch
django (1966), the wild bunch and the good the bad and the ugly are cowboy movies I love
i've got a lot of movies to watch at this point: everything everywhere, the samurai one, ikiru uhhh knives out, summer wars, some ghibli stuff on my backlog too
there are some people who type storms to rip it apart and complain about different things and what they despise and there seems to be actual thought put into it beyond "it sucks and is unoriginal. how do people like this shit? can we go back to good movies? sigh!"
i haven't seen the movie but i don't think being blunt with your message is always a bad thing
17:13
squid game could only have been more obvious with its message by having a guy break the 4th wall to yell "capitalism is bad" at the viewer but managed to be quite potent anyway
corrupted bitch
it does kind of beat you over the head with its message at times but I still found myself very engaged by it
parasite enforces its message strongly but I appreciate that it doesn't really say it out loud
17:16
if I was to make a criticism of eeaaoo I'd say the constant meditation on it near the end is a smidge annoying but hey I still cried(edited)
17:16
and given its importance placed on family and reconciliation I can see why they'd communicate it that way
17:17
parasite can use its visual metaphors and set design to achieve this very well
17:17
eeaaoo using the multiverse makes achieving a strong contrast with simple things difficult because you've seen a ginormous cluster of things in varying levels of absurdity(edited)
17:21
if I want to nitpick, I remember short round in the climax saying "please, everyone! we need to be kind..." striking me as dumb but like other than that i enjoyed it a whole lot
17:21
I was in the middle of tears by that point so it touched me
17:22
but honestly the movie did a lot of good things imo. inside its runtime and out
17:22
thrilled short round got another job after temple of doom
it gets baity but honestly I feel like I experienced something like this with the book the alchemist
17:27
it's not very subtle with its message at all and it kind of annoyed me to put it plainly but everything else was compelling enough and the climax scene in the book is really good
had it more time to develop and lengthen itself it probably would have been great but as it is, it's a very important and beloved book to many
17:28
it's not a taxing read and it's light, the message is very positive and it's charming.
17:30
I know it means a lot to sky which made me feel bad when I left with the impression I did but hey. I'm not the arbiter of whether something is good or not
17:30
and with the climax scene I can tell that coelho really has the ability to write something great. it kept me reading until the end, and there's nothing I can hate
17:31
I'm just a nerd. what do I know?

Fuck celebrities that are all like "I just don't want to be "The Indiana Jones guy" for the rest of my life" 99% of us aren't any kind of guy, guy.
The Treasure of The Sierra Madre: really good! awesome historical piece about broke people out of a job chasing dreams of gold and their dreams. humphrey bogart steals the show with an excellent performance in the midst of an already compelling cast of ragtag nobodies trying to make it big.
Airplane!: really funny movie with a lot of good jokes. definitely some bad ones (jive is the main offender) but really tightly made otherwise.
Love and Pop: a bizarre snapshot of time in japan with a really experimental directing style and an overarching narrative that's easy to forget about but emerges again every now and then to haunt you and hit you with something you never thought the characters could ever be feeling.
University of Laughs: A movie I respect deeply for its ability to make a lot out of very little. It uses the same locations that it establishes in the beginning of the film, but manages to get quite a lot out of each. Set in wartime Japan, an eccentric comedy playwright meets a cynical censor who must oversee and approve his plays. The synergy between the playwright and the censor is great, and what it achieves despite most of it being set in a single, plain room, is amazing. excellent performances all around, and great soundtrack.
12 Angry Men: Another film that achieves quite a lot out of using quite a little. A story of a jury who are to decide on the verdict of a defendant who's up for a death sentence, they all discuss their opinions on whether or not he is guilty. A wonderful journey that I absolutely adored watching all the way through. If I could get to act in any film, I'd love to play Hendry Fonda's role. Wonderful!
Jojo Rabbit: Attempts to make Wes-Anderson influenced comedy about a genocide that still exists in human memory, and then plays Bowie's "Heroes" at the end of it. Go away.

my biggest gripe with it was mostly just how it humanised nazis and the reich and then every so often arbitrarily cut to "they're really bad by the way" before showing nazis being eccentric weirdos who like killing again(edited)
Saw it with my dad a while back and been meaning to give it a rewatch
06:34
I just remember how vividly I resonated with both the protagonist and the rest of the room. The tired stuffy atmosphere, the relentless arguing over what should've been an easy case, that uplifting feeling of one brave and "annoying man" being a complete nerd about a case slowly garnering the agreement and respect of his peers
mm. it's a very emotionally engaging film even early on and it's hard not to root for the guy from the start just because he's incredibly earnest. he acknowledges there's unknowns but he just feels like in respect to someone's life it's owed that they should at least talk about it
06:41
makes each vote changing to not guilty garner the emotional charge of your favourite team scoring a goal in a critical moment
06:43
huge fan of the old guy too. love him
06:44
oh dude the director of 12 angry men also directed dog day afternoon
there's def faces you see a lot too so there's community
17:19
i like listening to the noise and seeing what movies people talk about or what books are interesting
17:21
watched when marnie was there with someone when I was hanging out. bunker box is great cos it has high quality rips of really good stuff you can't find anywhere else
17:21
University of laughs is a really good movie that I could only find on the bunker box
I watched Martin McDonagh's "The Banshees of Inisherin" on the plane, which I missed in the theater. Inisherin Island is an isolated island in Ireland, closed off from the civil war on the mainland. The people who live there are bigoted and mean-spirited. Even in such an…
id say yeah films being expressed mostly without limit to its content and letting itself take its own form is important. I guess such a thing establishes a harrowing atmosphere but I think in the evil dead you could not have it or even keep the "constriction" element but just remove that element of it and it's still really solid
02:40
it's not something that can ever be "nicely" portrayed or done mind you so it's easy to get into nuance and never be able to leave(edited)
02:44
oh well. important thing is that movie good despite that
if you like horror i recommend this letsplay series by a fairly underground youtuber called Markiplier but basically he plays this indie horror game about a haunted pizzeria
Scream was what was considered to have revived the slasher genre in 1996 after the golden age of them ended in 84 and is the first ‘modern’ slasher film because they did turn all the slasher tropes on their head. Funny enough made by Wes Craven, same dude who made Nightmare on Elm Street in 84
17:20
I love cheesy 80s slashers. It’s one of my favourite niches like Arnold swarchzenagger films

should you read dune the amount of words per page will jump out at you when you first read it. they flow into each other very well and despite its length I quite enjoyed knocking out 10s to 20s of its pages before bed
you're making a good case for it, i'll have to look into what kinda skill level is demanded of the JP version though i estimate i'm at least ~2yrs off being able to consider actual novels in japanese
the closest feeling i have ever felt in real life that mimicks what it feels like to get thrown in a fighting game is opening a japanese novel and seeing The Great Wall of Vertical Text
especially since it's often a bit more effort to look up japanese words (as a foreigner)
i see an english word i dont know -> i type it into google, i see a japanese word i dont know and if i can't copy paste it then my goofy ass has to whip out the google translate or google lens camera on my phone
well, even so, it mightn't be amiss to read something in English just to refamiliarise yourself with actually reading books. they're a bit of an exercise in patience themselves even in your mother tongue(edited)

Best film ever made
Only gripe with it was that mughal didnt personally kill the captain when miles broke cannon bc that feels like something he would do
AtSV is gonna be really hard to look at by it's own merit since it's just half a really long movie
21:17
Plausible theory for the ending of the next Spideverse movie:
There's a lot of talk of universes getting completely wiped out in AtSV. I think it could happen to Miles' universe, because it has.
Miles' designated universe number is 1610. This is also known as the "Ultimate Universe" and was the designation for the universe in the comics he debuted in (the "main" universe in the comics is 616).
The Ultimate Universe was completely wiped at the end of its run, with the only survivors being the Morales family, who hopped to Earth 616 without even knowing it.
21:20
Additional AtSV theory regarding Miles' Peter Parker:
Knowing now that Miles is from the Ultimate Universe, another major event that occurs is the death of Peter Parker, however much later in the run it is revealed that the spider gave 1610 Peter additional abilities, notable among them was immortality.

this movie was believed to've been "done" (as in enough where the only jobs remaining were the final steps) but got cancelled last minute when blue-sky went under. increbible to see it still lives because for awhile it was just another example of how little corp's give a shit about creatives
