Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.

Feud: Capote vs The Swans (2024).

I think part of why modern film trying to do shots from fake movies from the black-and-white film era tends to look so obviously fake to me is that they may just be making the sets and costumes and makeup whatever colours they would have made them if they were shooting in colour, not thinking about how it'll translate to B&W. There was a whole lot of interesting colour business going on in the set, costume, and makeup design of the old B&W movies to get the tones, the ghostly pales and the deep shadows, that really give those old movies their visual drama.

Envy Adams | Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010)

So I just finished re-watching Misfits and Magic, and I know a lot of people talk about how it's kind of sad that Jammer and Sam don't really have arcs like K and Evan. . . I have thoughts about that. In modern Western cinema, we expect protagonists to have an arc, where they change, grow, learn things and are different people from the beginning of the story to the end. This is most common in movies, and then books. But the thing is we also have a type of protagonist that's more common in TV shows, where the character stays mostly the same, and by doing so they affect the world around them or bring out interesting themes and call out issues in the world, just by being themselves. (Think the crew of the Enterprise in Star Trek TNG.) Misfits and Magic has BOTH of these kinds of characters. K and Evan are movie protagonists. Jammer and Sam are TV show protagonists. And I love that they coexist and both make each other's types of stories stronger. This time around, I really appreciated the constancy of Sam and Jammer, the way they don't really change, but seem to grow more solidly into who they already were at the beginning of the show. They expose the foibles of the world by having the world brush against THEM. They change the world and the characters around them, by staying true to who they are. K and Evan change the world because they are changing themselves. Both kinds of stories are valid, and both kinds of stories are needed.

so like the thing is. in many ways the dsmp seems like it ought to be more similar to film acting than it is to theatre-- you've got a close-up camera on you! a lot of the differences are often boiled down to that: theatre is more exaggerated, more full-body, because you're performing to an audience that is far away. film has a camera close on you so it tends more realistic and subtle. BUT the dsmp is actually!! way more like theatre in a lot of ways!!! to the point of REINVENTING theatrical devices that have largely fallen by the wayside in film

the dsmp has soliloquies. it's got asides. you see the same actors playing different characters. you have the tacit understanding that what you see on stage is not always what is literally happening in the story's world, but a symbolic representation. it's aware of audience, it interacts with and talks to the live-reacting audience!!

which i am. obsessed with, tbh! when tommy mutes in conversation with sapnap to say to chat "we're not going to team with him, chat, obviously we're not" before unmuting and saying "yeah, okay, let's team"--when wilbur on the 16th looks at the camera and holds up his hand when they're asking who the traitor is--when technoblade types and deletes "INVIS POTS DONT LAST THAT LONG" in in-game chat while talking to dream--these are all giving information to the audience abt the characters' internal thoughts, in ways that are much more typical of stage theatre than film! it's unusual for a character in a movie or tv show to say things (or take actions) in a conversation that are inaudible to the other characters in that conversation and intended for the audience. film tends to convey information about the characters' thoughts in other ways! it's a very Stage sort of thing, and i doubt they were thinking of it that way, it just sort of naturally emerges from having a live audience that they're entertaining + the ability with livestream technology to communicate things to the audience while being actually imperceptible to the other characters

and ofc whenever they are alone they are not silent, nor do they rely on voiceover or framing devices such as a diary to communicate their inner thoughts--they narrate their thoughts aloud, to the audience. they walk around and sometimes they have conversations with their donos but just as often they soliloquize! i'd include examples here as well but it's so ubiquitous, tbh, tommy does this, sam does this, ranboo does this, techno does this, wilbur does this, jack manifold does this, niki does this, everyone does this constantly. and it makes sense given the medium but that's also so fascinating to me! because again i really doubt they were thinking of it that way, it's just the obvious thing to do, the obvious extension of streaming commentary!

point is. dsmp stage show. I'm Normal About It

i'm writing something at the moment where the character's childhood is set in the late 90s, early 2000s and I need reference photos for descriptive writing and any silly sketches i want to do but i'm struggling to find ones with whatever quality it is from that time period i'm yearning for? like. they don't know what an iphone is, their childhood is streams and rivers and looking at newts under magnifying glasses. 'short bob with clips hairstyle 90s' on google or pinterest is throwing up instragram models and NOT the unfortunate hairstyle given to you by your grandma in the kitchen. i dislike when things are so clear in your head and the search for reference photos is not cooperating. why is so hard to find a picture of a kid in a headband! why do all dungarees nowadays look so rigid?

I gathered some Mega-Fans together to help me create this glorious Megamind Support Video! Thanks to all those that contributed! And don't forget to watch "Megamind Vs. The Doom Syndicate" and "Megamind Rules!" on Peacock, March 1st!!!

Which version of this do you prefer?

[yukianika]

If fandoms have taught me anything, it's that "I love you." is one of the weakest confessions I have heard.

Not that there's anything wrong with it but in the middle of magical chaos and death defying events, I would like to hear something other than "ily babe"

[gayladygrey]

kinda hate the redemption equals death trope actually. why do we feel as though someone must earn their redemption not through commitment and reparations but with some kind of cosmic payment. why must writers throw away characters with problematic pasts instead of showing the hard work of change and growth
