Choose this life you're on your own
I just saw Synecdoche, New York. That was the most pointless, self - indulgent piece of crap I have ever seen. I like Charlie Kaufman's work, but Holy hell.

If I wanted to see a movie about the inevitably of death, I'd watch Seventh Seal again.

E: or hell, play Planescape Torment again if I wanted to think about how our choices and regrets lead us to inevitable failure and defeat.

E2: Infinite Jest, too, for not being able to express yourself, due to all of us being doomed to live in our own heads.

None of our previous moderate voices of reason were moderate or reasonable enough, that was the problem with them

Only when we have an actor president who does catchphrases and nothing else will moderate reason finally be achieved

*squints* so it kind of SEEMS like powerful sinister special interests would want a weak head of state who is popular for personality reasons but doesn't give a poo poo one way or the other what they do or what the nation's policy is, but, the more important part is, reason

Every single Obi-Wan episode has had at least like five shots that are as bafflingly lovely as that one. I think a lot of the blame is in the editing? My favourite is when they have an adult human run after baby Leia and you can see the adult visibly slowing themselves down so they don't catch up to quickly.

I watched the first episode of Boba Fett and the space assassin lady was in a rooftop chase and jumped off a building to evade pursuit, only to leap back on the roof a few seconds later from a different location. It was like a chase scene for someone without object permanence.

I turned it off shortly thereafter.

Anyone who complains about the accents in Mary Poppins is wrong. You think the accents are the unrealistic part in the movie about the loving NANNY WHO FLIES?? THAT is what took you out of the whole thing?

it really can’t be stressed enough that historically, disney’s attempts at live action have been complete trash on average, and people only forgot this because the mcu was competing in the arena of comic book movies, a genre even more miserable than disney’s usual fare

Kenobi also had a bizarre, illogical rooftop chase

why do they keep filming those

I think criticising the lack of craft when it comes to the accents is fine.

If the flying looked like arse, it'd be fair to criticise it too, rather than just saying "that's how physics/ reality / whatever" works in this universe.

we watched the emma watson beauty and the beast and it was decent (certainly a weird fluke where they had just enough competent people on it), but yes absolutely. lol cruella looked like poo poo and was butt of the joke for like a year

I would say it's extremely Disney to take a cool invention used by people genuinely interested in what they're doing and run it into the ground with endless slop but really it's more just a general capitalism thing

the cool thing about the UE5 volume or whatever is that its supposed to allow for dynamic camera movements in 3d space more easily but instead its just made half the shots in star wars shows take place in enormous empty cube rooms
