yeah idk i think some things about the fallout show are cute but more often than not it seems to entirely miss the point of its own world and reduced themes in ways detrimental to the story of the franchise and just makes some really odd careless decisions in general. it has some good black comedy but also lame self aware comedy that reeks of embarrassment at taking itself seriously, and the extremely artificial scaffolding meant to establish mysteries and twists that we aren't invested in because we don't know anything about the people involved is the very opposite of 'fresh.' the makeup on both ella purnell and walter goggins is cowardly, and all that production value still boils down to ugly greenscreen soundstages and small sets.

so yeah obviously it's a big hit

it's almost like global south's reality is some sort of aesthetic concept for white people.

That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.

apparently in the subtitled and native audio versions it is made explicitly clear from the start that the woman mahito's father is marrying is his late mother's sister. this is a normal and traditional japanese thing to do especially for the time, but in the english version this is hidden from the audience and gradually revealed throughout the movie for whatever reason, which is an insane choice because it feels like it's meant to be a twist instead of the premise for the story

folks are saying a lot of nice things about the boy and the heron/how do you live and they're true, but. good golly does it feel like hayao just spent way, way too much time and effort on act 1 and the first arc of act 2 and then realized they were out of time and needed to wrap things up real fast

To what extent can Disney’s art be seen as Fascist and/or White Supremacist in nature, especially when compared to stuff like Miyazaki or “Spiderverse”?

no shade but I'm really not sure what the angle of this question is, before being fascist or white supremacist or progressive or any kind of political disney movies and sony movies are corporate commercial products whose first and last ideology is making bank. any political text or subtext in these products is meant to be conducive towards or in spite of that goal, which I wouldn't call part of these products' "nature" so much as just different coats of paint

as an auteur driven, independently managed studio you could say ghibli movies have earnest motives in addition to being commercial (which they successfully are and are made with the intent to be), but while they broadly have anti fascistic themes they are mostly fairy tales for children and not seriously engaged with any conversation other than the aforementioned show of pop media batting the ball around the court

which isn't to say that politically wack media is harmless or politically cogent media is useless, but I am in general extremely disillusioned to the idea that contemporary mass media really has any meaningful effect on culture at all !

LOL??

alex garland's last several projects have been deeply questionable and this american civil war movie feels so irresponsibly exploitative at the worst possible time. it is not profound to probe the question of "What if large scale conflict broke out stateside today?" this is already, has been, continues to be, a country of people that hate each other and want each other dead. there are so many people that deeply truly want a scenario like this to be real, right now, and it is so disturbingly unaware to take that scenario and make it a big budget summer thriller with the energy of Wouldn't this be crAaaaAazy? 🤪

just saw a whole youtube ad (on mobile) from a former guest of tucker carlson telling people to buy bunker rations in preparation for "the second american civil war." i cannot emphasize how much this scenario is non fiction and how out of touch you must be to find entertainment value in it!!!
