Train of Thoughts On A Broken Down Train 2: The Ride Home

That was a fast errand. Thank goodness the screened schedule was wrong, because I would have had 13 minutes to wait on the E line to Santa Monica with a very twitchy guy having a conversation with me that made no sense. Back to writing villians. We’ve seen them in real life, in Disney shows, and even the simple villians, like Newman, on Seinfeld. I’m not sure if it’s fair to call Newman a…

Fuck.

"why should I get invested in shows if they'll just get canceled" I was deeply invested in Heroes (2006) and it was not canceled, it just got really terrible. I also got really invested in the sandwich I had a few weeks ago despite it only lasting like 15 minutes. You must embrace the ephemeral. You must be willing to love things that may not love you back, that might betray you, or that may die an untimely death. As the great philosopher Mr. Mitchell Lee Hedberg said "I'm not gonna stop doing something because of what happens at the end."

The Disney Live Action Remake Debate: Breathing New Life or Capitalising on Nostalgia?

The trend of Disney live action remakes has become a cinematic phenomenon that elicits diverse reactions from film enthusiasts and Disney fans alike. These adaptations, bringing classic animated films to life using real actors and modern visual effects, have stirred a compelling debate within the film community. Breathing New Life into Beloved Stories Proponents of Disney live-action remakes argue that these adaptations offer a fresh perspective on timeless tales. Creative Exploration: One of the key advantages, according to supporters, is the opportunity for filmmakers to explore different creative approaches. Adapting animated classics into live action allows directors and writers to reinterpret narratives, delve into character motivations, and add layers to familiar stories. Visual Upgrades: Advancements in technology play a significant role, enabling stunning visual effects that elevate the cinematic experience. The transition from hand-drawn animation to live action provides an opportunity to update the visuals, incorporating cutting-edge effects that were not possible in the original animated versions. Introduction to New Audiences: Live-action remakes serve as a gateway for a new generation of audiences to discover and appreciate classic Disney stories. For those who may not have grown up with the animated originals, these adaptations provide a chance to experience the magic in a format that resonates with contemporary filmmaking styles. Criticisms of Lack of Originality and Charm Despite the praise, critics argue that Disney live-action remakes often fall short in terms of originality and the charm inherent in their animated counterparts. Nostalgia as a Driving Force: A prominent criticism revolves around the perception that these remakes are primarily cashing in on nostalgia. Critics contend that Disney may be relying on the emotional connection viewers have with the animated classics, using this sentiment as a financial strategy rather than pushing the boundaries of innovative storytelling. The Safety of Familiarity: There is a concern that the focus on live-action remakes may lead Disney to prioritise safe bets over original storytelling. Critics fear that the studio’s reliance on revisiting established classics might divert resources and attention away from nurturing new and daring narratives. Disney Plus: Changing the Landscape The introduction of Disney Plus, Disney’s streaming service, has added a new dimension to the live-action remake discussion. Direct-to-Home Releases: Disney Plus has become a platform for releasing these live-action remakes directly to audiences at home. This shift in distribution has intensified discussions about the impact of these adaptations on the traditional cinematic experience and the theatrical landscape. Evolving Film Consumption: The accessibility of Disney live-action remakes through streaming services has altered how audiences consume films. The debate now extends beyond the creative aspects of the remakes to considerations of how changing distribution models influence the industry as a whole. Subjectivity in Evaluation Ultimately, whether Disney live-action remakes are considered good or bad remains subjective. Individual Preferences: The evaluation of these adaptations depends on individual preferences and expectations. For some, the nostalgia and visual enhancements are welcome additions, while others yearn for the unique charm of the original animated classics. Contributions to Industry Evolution: While opinions may differ, it is evident that Disney live-action remakes contribute to the ongoing evolution of movies and video production techniques. The utilisation of advanced technology and the exploration of different creative approaches serve as a testament to the industry’s commitment to pushing boundaries. Conclusion: A Continuation of Cinematic Evolution In conclusion, the debate surrounding Disney live-action remakes is a multifaceted discussion that touches on nostalgia, originality, and the evolving landscape of film distribution. These adaptations, whether celebrated or criticised, represent a significant aspect of the ongoing cinematic evolution. As Disney continues to bring animated classics into the live-action realm, the conversation will persist, with audiences and film enthusiasts alike engaging in spirited discussions about the merits and drawbacks of revisiting beloved tales on the big screen and in the comfort of their homes. Whether these adaptations are seen as a nostalgic trip down memory lane or a departure from the magic of the originals, one cannot deny their impact on the ever-changing tapestry of filmmaking.

Finally got around to watching I saw the tv glow and I’ve had an incomprehensible sense of dread ever since 🙂‍↕️

[novelconcepts]

I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.

And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.

I saw the tv glow is crazy bc it’s a movie that genuinely makes you watch how your life could fall apart. Makes you watch how heavily repression can affect your life and how dangerous and sad it can be. But at the same time it’s like “hey, if you’re still alive there is still time, so keep going.”

I’ve genuinely never watched a movie that has given me so much sadness, but let’s me find a sense of hope, no matter how bittersweet, within that devastation.

so i saw i saw the tv glow and i’m normal. so normal.

[maxanor]

What if she had been telling the truth? What if I really was someone else? Someone beautiful and powerful. Someone buried alive and suffocating to death. Very far away, on the other side of the television screen.
