Look How They Massacred My Boy.

my initial thoughts on joker 2:

joker: folie à deux is a wild ride of a non-dc dc musical. it's a love letter to classic movie musicals; it's a commentary on the shitty mental health + prison system of gotham; and it's a middle finger to toxic joker stans represented by lady gaga's harley quinn.

arthur is more a tragic villain than a triumphant one. a trial forces him to confront the traumas in his life as his defendant tries to make a compelling case on his behalf. which forces the audience to consider the things that brought him to the point of joker without excusing his behavior. as much as arthur tries to swagger through the scene at times there's always something or someone there to remind him of his place at the bottom of the totem pole of life. then there's that ending. christ what an ending.

all in all it's not as bad as people are making it out to be. i could've done w/o the (non-explicit) sa scene but i really enjoyed it -- even the singing!!

My guilty pleasure right now is watching luxury hotel reviews and I found this british guy who keeps accidentally clipping into the backrooms.

He's unintentionally making the best liminal horror content on youtube

reminder that Scott Cawthon, creator of five nights at freddy's, is a sincerely evil bastard who loves Trump and has donated the maximum legal amount to ragingly bigoted republican politicians.

he cowrote and produced the film. if you pay to see the movie, that's where your money is going. just pirate it.

Man, I really feel bad for the Dinotopia guys. They built this whole intricate, creative, enrapturing world, and it was going to be the next big thing. It was gonna be the next franchise. They got George Fucking LUCAS to make a screen adaptation of it. Yeah, the starwars guy. Then midway through production he realizes how much he loves making movies and decides to ditch your project and make the prequels instead. They say there's no bad blood but... man it would fucking kill me to go to the theater and see Naboo and think "Fuck, that coulda been waterfall city"

There still was a franchise. They did eventually make spinoff paperback novels and video games and there were even a couple screen adaptations, but they were done by Lifetime and Hallmark. The lifetime one is actually surprisingly good given its budget. It tells a story that mirrors the structure of the original picture book, two brothers get marooned on Dinotopia, one of them rides a pterosaur and then they have to stop a dude named Krab from stealing a crystal that he needs to make an ancient machine get him off the island... but it's not a reboot or anything, it's the same continuity as the books. I guess guys named Krab really do be stealing crystals every generation or so. It's not really that bad of a series but damn it could have been George Lucas!

I dunno, I just find myself thinking about it. It was a uniquely artistic and non-violent series for its time. All of the dinosaurs and people live in harmony. There used to be a steampunk cyber empire of capitalists who tried to replace dinosaurs with the coolest looking robots you could imagine, but then there was a revolution and they all live in communistic harmony with no real currency. Each according to their need, each to their own ability. All that Jazz.

I'm certainly more normal about it than I am say The Underland Chronicles but I still find myself thinking about those gorgeous communist dinosaur picture books. In another reality, Battleborn won over Overwatch, Galidor never got its budget cut and was actually a smash success, Warner bros actually did something with the TUC film rights, and Kids in the 00s grew up with Dinotopia instead of the Starwars prequels.

I may be late to this, but I feel like it says a lot about how analog horror is covered at least on Youtube when Angel Hare, which is one of the most hopeful and wholesome analog "horror" series' I've seen, has videos talking about it that look like this:

Like, yeah it has dark elements, but it's not this horrifying dark show that corrupts children. Jonah wasn't manipulated into becoming a serial killer by Gabby, that's a fandom AU not what actually happens.

I may just be overreacting over something minor, but it annoys me that a genuinely fresh and kind take on the "dark children's show" trope where a guardian angel protects a child from their abusive father and comforts them through a TV show is treated almost exactly the same as Generic Spooky Face Jumpscare Tapes #57. It's all about the dark elements that accompany the story, and not the story itself.

Angel Hare actually tells a coherent and complete story about children's entertainment and escapism, which just so happens to have dark elements to it while still being a comforting series. At least acknowledge the story being told, not just the disturbing elements of it for the love of Angel Gabby.

Have you heard of segmented plate armor? Also I don't see a line connecting those 2 pieces, looks more like shadow.

One thing I get particularly salty about Is when people complain about the light fury having hearts on her head and then pretend as if stormfly didnt have a much more noticable one in the second movie,I dont mind if u dont like the light fury but like play fair

Every review I've seen of the Electric State movie doesn't mention Michelle being queer like in the book so I assume the movie didn't have that as part of her character. Does that count as queer erasure? Specifically lesbian erasure?

Edit: Thought about it a little and maybe they didn't wanna tackle the part in the book where a lunatic priest converts her lover and Michelle breaks down at her feet. Too cowardly to portray a priest as an asshole.

My condolences for having to sit through it

I hate this movie so far

Trust me I'm getting tired of this too but...

This is Micah Mayfield, a guntuber who recently released a video in which he made a "joke" about having a trans person in his gun sights....

And oh man would you look at that? Its Grand Thumb! The man who Brandon Buckingham who will make fun of you for thinking that they are terrible people or not! These are all people Wendigoon are comfortable being around. Let's see how Garand Thumb is taking the criticism?

Ah! I see! Surely a great person to be friends with!

"guys I can't believe scott cawthon appeared in matpats video 😊😊😊😊" did we forget hes a pro life Republican or
