like riot grrl as a scene wasn’t like woopsie daisy can’t believe no WOC wanted to sign up and join us there was legitimate hostility towards WOC during that movement that’s been documented as well as the inability for many riot grrls to understand intersections of oppression and their own role in upholding it

i mean sonically and aesthetically you can like the riot grrl movement but lets not pretend like there wasn’t huge and glaring flaws about it like every other feminist wave or scene that was primarily white women

i desperately, desperately hope that disney kicks ron desantis's ass in court, solely so that future history textbooks have to say "and the company that made such happy little kids flicks as moana and coco then proceed to rock the FUCK out of a presidential candidate in court, ruining his entire life"

The thing I like about Battinson is that you have fans like me, who mainly grew up on Batman: The Animated Series, where Arguably Best Batman (Kevin Conroy) was constantly codeswitching back and forth between aggressively frightening irredeemable villains and comforting victims, connecting with children, helping those who only committed crimes because they were wronged, etc. And it's because we grew up on this Batman that many people hate the portrayals where Batman is just an angry brute out for vengeance. But Battinson shows a really good transition of how Bruce could go from the latter to the former. And it's even more impressive because a lot of stories try to be edgy by having their main character sink further and further into anger and violence, but Battinson showed the opposite: a superhero who started off thinking that he had to be the cliche angry, vengeful, persona, before realizing that what Gotham really needed was someone to be nurturing and bring them hope.

I'm thinking that maybe Edward not realizing he is in a poliamorous queerplatonic relationship with all his henchman is a thing that fits not only Gorshin's Riddler but also BTAS's.

oh my god apparently the ominous-sounding foreign language lyrics being sung over the cartoon batman theme in mask of the phantasm isn't latin at all:

For those who want the "Latin" lyrics used in Mask of the Phantasm, there is an amusing and fascinating anecdote. Shirley Walker tells the story.

As you know, the music team is rushing to the finish line as a film is in its final dub phase. Even the known orchestrators are not always given the credit they so justly deserve for insuring the timely execution (so to speak) of the score. I've become tired of fighting for credits for the support team that helps pull me through the final throes of recording and mixing my scores.

The choir for Masks gave me the opportunity to rectify this terrible situation. I made a chart by number of syllables of every music persons name backwards to use in creating the language you hear. 'Oh Nahlim Mot!', the phrase the score begins with, is Tom Milano, the music editor of most of my features, whom I originally worked with doing the Flash TV series.

You get the idea. It was working so well, I realized that I would need to include some of the film producers and executives at Warner Bros. After all, they were paying for my little inside joke. People do like to be included in these sorts of things. I had to lie to the Warner Bros. legal department person who called to ask me what the language was and what was being said.

They certainly didn't want to be a party to me saying "screw Warner Bros." in Danish. I told them it was an obscure nonsensical choral language that existed only in out of print orchestration books.

I think I actually spent more time on my plot than I did on the score during the week I was preparing the choral cues. It was quite fun to see the looks on peoples faces, as they realized what they were hearing. Only two people had deciphered the puzzle by the time we recorded the choir. It was very difficult for the singers to sing the strange words. I'm sure they would have had more fun doing it, had I been able to include them in the joke too.

While I was mixing the score, I had Bobby Fernandez (Zed-nahn-fur E-Bob) record the choir accappella onto a seperate DAT, ostensibly for my sample reel. The look on Tom's face as he began to suspect what I had done was well worth the whole deception. He finally turned to me and said "You didn't do what I think you've done, did you?".

The rest is history. Everyone on the music team has a tape of the singing of their names (we transfered to 1/4" tape and played it backwards; the old "back-masking" trick).

(x) i am losing my goddamn mind this is so funny

Sometimes a family is a bisexual blonde bitch who's an adrenaline junkie for life threatening situations, an autistic bilingual manwhore who hides depression under humour, their sharp witted chaotic girlboss daughter with a strange affinity for violence for someone of her standing, and the guy that sells them weapons and drugs for outdated currency.

demanding a series in the same vein (heh, vein) as Dexter/Hannibal wherein a prolific serial killer plays cat & mouse with the police--except the serial killer in question is a preteen schoolgirl. this would make for compelling television due to the fact that middle school frequently causes girls to become deranged, and more media should reflect this

thinking "haha what if i jokingly shipped them" is your last chance to get out btw
