It was very clearly a show they were putting on and JB was never outraged and KB was not sorry. How people didn't get this is weird.

The only reason I can think of for why you'd want more control over Bond as a studio, is that you plan on doing what a lot of modern film franchises do, which is attach multiple unnecessary legs on it in a misguided attempt to keep constant attention on it.

Oh wait, I just remembered I did see Spencer. That one was decent I guess.

I saw Maria and have not seen his other films, but I have heard of Jackie. When JFK popped up I was jokingly like "Is this a crossover?" then looked up the actor and was amazed that my joke was right.

People really forget that other people on the internet are real and not political cartoons for you to use as jumping off points for a debate.

I remember when I was told Santa Claus wasn't real and pretty quickly afterwards thinking "Oh I guess the Tooth Fairy isn't real either. How do people not do this with heteronormativity?

It was a comic book mini-series worth of material. Very wasteful much like most Disney+ originals.

You guys are thinking of Clone Wars Anakin. Hayden was never a fun-loving swashbuckler. He was a monotone emo boy.

The only ones I can reconcile are Jake Lloyd and Matt Lanter. Matt seemed like he was channeling him way more and didn't even try to sound like Hayden.

I have a Star Wars headcanon that Anakin has DID to explain how Jake Lloyd, Hayden Christensen, Matt Lanter and JEJ are all somehow playing the same character. Normally I like stories acknowledge that people change as they age, but that does not explain him at all.

Also don't relate to people who will shell out money just for curiosity. Learn to pirate.

Anyway, this is all the stuff that I think about whenever the sex scenes discourse gets brought up. A question that doesn't get asked enough there is why sex and nudity gets placed in the same category as like, blood, piss, and vomit.

(could also be that the blood is excessive and unrealistic, but I don't know, I'm not a doctor)

So Tarantino is well known for having a lot of blood in his movies. This reputation implies that he likes blood itself and not just violence that happens to be bloody*. And this could be true because there are probably filmographies just as violent but not as bloody.

And again, a person bleeding can be present in the scene and relevant but the blood itself is considered unnecessary to show. Justifiable, since people don't like seeing blood, but it does end up lending it power.

But where taboo comes in is that in some cases the mere presence of a thing can be called imagery and the frequency becomes irrelevant. A single shot with a bird in it won't be called bird imagery. But you could get away with talking about the blood imagery of a movie that only has one blood shot.

And genre can also affect this idea of imagery. It would be considered ridiculous to say that a romance movie had a lot of kissing imagery or that a legal drama had a lot of suit imagery.

Like, if a film has a lot of bald people, you could claim the film is trying to use bald imagery. This isn't because there's anything that special about a bald head by itself, but because it's an unusual frequency. And we know this because we don't think of seeing people with hair as hair imagery.

And innocent things can be considered imagery too. Having a lot of birds in it is bird imagery. Having a lot of flowers is flower imagery. But there's a point where the presence of something becomes too mundane to be imagery.
comment in response to
post
Because of that, the presence of blood in media gets to be called blood imagery and media with blood gets to be distinguishing. An action movie that has blood makes it more mature than one without. A cartoon like Happy Tree Friends having blood lets you know that it's a parody of a normal cartoon.

Like for example: blood. Blood is something that movies and TV avoid showing, even when it makes sense for it like in scenes with a lot of violence in it. If a character gets cut, you can avoid showing the cut on screen, which they probably wouldn't do if blood wasn't considered disturbing.

They have to do The Croods first. Soon they'll conquer Chris Sander's entire filmography.

To be fair, the character in question was a drug lord.

I do find that usually when people talk about difficulty in games they sound like they don't want to actually play and treat games like movies, which does irk me. But you did make it very clear in your original post that you are not that.

I can't tell if The Substance's bluntness was it being camp or if it's doing the Paul Verhoeven approach to satire where it's insultingly on the nose to show how little respect it has for its subjects.
Either way it still works, though.

Also I've never seen Southland Tales, but based on what I've heard and seen, EP gave me similar vibes.

Zoe gets these songs that are about how she wants to take down corruption and how politicians are the real gangsters, making it sound like this is a revolutionary movie, even though it's not.
comment in response to

The songs all sound like afterthoughts, even though as I've just learned, it was written to be an opera. It also has an extremely self important tone even though it's plot is soap-y as fuck.

It is also the only scene entirely in English and it is never explained why.

Like, I've seen sex workers have valid discourse about Anora and how it represents them, but you don't hear about it as much because Anora was like, actually well made.

It's fascinating that this doesn't have an effect on me because I grew up with this brand and I never register it as the other connotation. My brain sees them as two different Bimbos.

It was pretty obvious the karaoke in music videos account was you, but this is like the only place you confirmed it.

From what I've heard, the environmental issues are mostly on the training end. Once it's made, using it is about as ethical as using anything else on the Internet.

Agreed. Wish more people did.
