Douglas McKeown’s directorial debut caught audiences by surprise 40 years ago leading to a solid cult following over the years.

I am sad that we don't have the massive old people scales like Temulun or the Oronir storyteller for our WoLs. Let me give the men the scale porn stachs! And massive scales for all Au Ra!

Au Ra getting more and more scaled as they get older until Grandma is just chilling halfway up a warm brick wall :D

#ffxiv #this reminded me I have an au ra wol and she is based on an OC who I gave scales #I could somehow never visualise exactly how they'd work #I don't think Auri scales are the exact answer as she's more amphibious than lizardy #(mermaid newt lady :3)#but it's definitely been a big help just in letting my imagination take wild swings with it #rather than trying to imagine ~conventionally attractive~ little splatters of scales like freckles at the corners of her eyes or whatever #you know like sexy low budget sci fi scaled women often end up like :P #it's such a process allowing your brain to be weird when you're actually quite a normcore person and want to sit at the weird kid table #the weird kids have been good to me I should be allowed to be one and then I'm like here's my OC she's so weird #and then I see everyone else's OCs and I've drawn Jane From Next Door #hahahaha

i was going to make a post telling yall to stop calling godzilla minus one a low-budget film (because it isn't) but then i remembered disney regularly drops 12 million for ONE EPISODE of their shows without nearly the same cultural impact so. yeah godzilla is low-budget as far as i'm concerned idc

#uhhhh me #film budget is such an interesting thing to think abt #for those curious: godzilla had a budget of 10 million #which seems like a lot until you compare it to an average hollywood action movie which is like. 100 million easy #incidentally that is oppenheimer's budget!#so seeing that you go wow! why the discrepency?#as far as i can figure. american movies go for the big mass appeal so they'll out more money into international releases etc #whereas japanese films only rly care about domestic release so they save a stupid amount of money there #(i'm sure there's more to this and i have my theories but i don't have hard data rn to back it up so i won't say it)#so anyway. 10 mil is a very modest budget by hollywood standards but by japan standards it's above average actually #oh yeah the other thing about budgets i always come back to #is the fact the percy jackson show had 12 million per episode #but did not look or feel nearly as good as shadow and bone which had average 4 mil per episode. literally a third what percy had #the allegiant movie had an estimated ~120 mill budget and somehow was worse in every single way than the scorch trials movie #which had 61 mil. HALF what allegiant had and yet literally everything about it was more pleasing #one of my fave sci-fi films prospect has less than 4 mil budget and yes you could tell the cgi was unreal sometimes #it was done in a way that looked artistic instead of cheap and glossy #and i would watch that over whatever new movie the mcu pops out with like. 200 mil budget that somehow looks uglier-#-than a movie on 4 mil #oh my god what in the fucking world. antman 3 had 300 million. whomst.#and the movie didn't even look good? the audacity #7 times prospect's budget and looks like shit #anyway. budget is a weird thing #it rly comes down to who's handling the project and how smartly they use that money #oh ya the other thing i was gonna say is i do think there's a difference between 'low budget film' and 'film with a lower budget'#i think godzilla is a lower budget film (comparatively to hollywood) but not a low budget film. if you catch my drift.

Not enough leather in sci-fi these days

#I said this to dad and his response was ‘yeah but it’s only cheap tacky sci-fi shows that put all their characters in leather’#and I was like ‘that is exactly the point I’m making’#I want low budget sci fi #I want it to be corny and camp and badly written in an endearing way #you couldn’t make Farscape or stargate these days because all the marvel bros would come along and be like ‘ew it’s bad’#I want my sci-fi ugly I want it to comment on social injustice I want it to make me uncomfortable and put me in difficult ethical dilemmas #I want it to be grimey and grungy and kinda tacky #clean crisp sci-fi just doesn’t do it for me #and the thing is I don’t want a big budget corporation to make it.#because I want it to be a passion project. I want it to be earnest. I don’t want it to have the U.S. military backing it

@heartofstanding tagged me in this meme months ago and unfortunately it took me this long to get to it because I had a mild crisis over how long it's been since I've read a novel, let alone one that I loved 😅 so this is nine of my favourite novels (not books, because if I included manga/short stories/comics/etc this would be giant)

0The Picture of Dorian Gray -- Oscar Wilde// Pyrrhus-- Mark Merlis//The Scarecrow--Ronald Hugh Morrieson//Unnatural History--Kate Osman//Tunnels of Blood--Darren Shan//The Coffin Dancer--Jeffery Deaver//Hero--Perry Moore//Frankenstein--Mary Shelley//One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest-- Ken Kasey
