What I like to do is check out Goodwill and buy sub-$10 bluray players to just give out any time someone’s like “hey lets come over to my place and watch *thing….but I have no way to waaattchhhh iiiiitttt”

Seriously just having a few spare bluray players to just give out to people costs practically no money

I think the Marvel era has seen a rise in non-writers dictating what ends up on screen. Producers want a scene where X happens, and a scene where Y happens, and a scene where Z happens. Also, the big final fight is already being animated by a contracted VFX house.
In Marvel’s case, it helps you have decades of existing stories to cannibalize.

I attended a screening last night of The Electric 6 Recording Co documentary. It was interesting enough, if you're a fan of Neutral Milk Hotel, Apples In Stereo, Olivia Tremor Control, etc you'd probably enjoy it.

There was a Q+A afterwards with the director. He mentioned that before getting funding and clearing the music rights the first draft was only available via VHS, and the only way to get a copy was by writing into a PO box and promising to return it.

i read a great biography on oppenheimer years ago and the author said that according to friends and loved ones, oppenheimer would constantly pull his pants to his ankles, take out his penis while making a tight fist around it, and say “lookit THIS mushroom cloud”. he would laugh and chase people around with it before finally tripping over his pants. i hope thats part of the reason for the r rating in the film. could add some levity

The best placement was on the first episode of The 100 when the space people touch down upon the nuclear war-ravaged earth while radioactive plays, just perfectly literal, good job.

true, lol. but having the band playing one of their songs as themselves is a bit much even for an anime

Saw Barbie last night, and y’all…it’s pretty damned good. While a lot of people will probably draw parallels to the Lego Movie since they are both toy-based meta-textual movies for kids, I think the real point of comparison is 2001’s Josie and the Pussycats. This movie gets genuinely weird in a lot of ways that I didn’t expect. A few random observations…

- Choosing to make Ken the villain of the movie was loving inspired, and I don’t believe any other filmmaker would have thought to go there. I believe this is the first time a children's movie has made villain who is straight-coded. Everyone who heard that Ken sings a song and assumes it is a sad-sack Mr Cellophane type piece got it wrong. It’s closer to a Disney Villain song.

- There are rare moments when a particular piece of pop culture gets utterly annihilated by another piece of pop culture, where the later makes such a perfect mockery of the former that you know the former will never be able to exist again except as a punchline. The Barbie movie performs such an assassination on one particular song. (You’ll never be able to play Push by Matchbox Twenty at a party again without everyone snickering.)

- As someone who currently has a 68-day Spanish learning streak on Duolingo, there’s a single cutaway gag that was such a precisely observed piece of humor that it felt like a punch in the gut (but in a good way).

- Rhea Perlman pops up real quick and knocks some scenes out of the park. She’s also perfect casting for the role she plays.

- They get in their one PG-13 allowed use of the word “gently caress”. While it is censored, it still got one of the biggest laughs in the entire theater when it happened. (The biggest laugh happened at the final line.)

Anyways, if you need any more evidence that this is actually a really good movie, look at this breakdown of reviews. You only see this type of split when audiences react to something that isn't just slop:

Okay, correction. You only see a split like that when you are getting reviews for something that isn't slop being review-bombed by people who haven't seen it.

it's marvel's fault. kevin feige spun children's picture books into a consistent source of billions in profit and now studios are trying to replicate it. pandora's box is open now, they'll never stop trying to turn the movie making process into a machine with controllable variables.
it's not really marvel's fault, though. they can't help that no other studio could be relied on to consistently produce at least middling quality blockbusters for the better part of two decades

in the period where people actually liked the movies, they specifically were praised for creative hiring decisions and seeking appropriate and often lesser-known talent for the projects they were making. the marvel machine was created to ensure internal consistency for the brand, but it ran on creative human beings who could work meaningfully within those constraints

anybody who looks at what marvel did and concludes that it's a self-sufficient machine with no human factor is deluding themselves
