I’m really sad I don’t get to visit my family for Christmas this year, but remembering when I had to listen to my brothers-in-law hotly debating about who was going to die in Endgame, it eases the pain a bit.

Did anyone bring up this interview with Peter Greenaway in which the goon interviewer offers up Roger Deakins as a non-narrative film artist because his brain is sawdust?

I would definitely not feel comfortable offering an opinion on cinematography to the guy who made fuckin a zed and two noughts
i am not going to link to it here but terry gilliam has decided to jump on the ‘auteurs trash marvel movies’ bandwagon in what i believe is the most tasteless way possible, you really have to see it to believe it (hint: it involves black panther)

Love that Scorsese-hates-women is a variety of tweet I am seeing every couple days now, which, I mean, dive into the gender politics of his films, sure, but I hate that this is all coming from a defense of Disney-Marvel’s HR-approved, market-tested representation pushes.

ooooo i saw this one that had a headline about scorscese TELLING LULU WANG NOT TO DO SUPERHERO FILMS to frame it from that ‘white man telling a poc woman what to do’ perspective when the article is all about her agreeing herself. not being TOLD WHAT TO DO
like, everyone digging in their heels to defend fucking disney makes no sense. is this some kind of response to the ‘kill your tv’ ennui of gen x? NO. it doesnt deserve that much credit! its just people succumbing to propaganda and budget and not KNOWING anything better. if all you watch is disney/marvel of course its good, and of course you expect a certain form from movies and are told that what goes against it is wrong
also disney is god now and not even in an edgy way. like acquaintances have been COMPLETELY DONE WITH ME and cut me off because i just don’t care about their media empires. its insane! and its all being framed as like WE LIVE IN A DARK WORLD WE NEED HIGH HOPES AND THE GOOD FEELS which i agree with. military endorsed (i mean like how even black panther had to be ok’ed by the american military bc it shows american forces, whcih means the movie cant have ANYTHING that goes against it!) global empires dont do that! i dont get a warm and fuzzy feeling seeing air force commercials in something heralded as the pinnacle of feminism or whatever! shit makes no sense to me
all this ‘shhhhh let people enjoy things’ discourse is bullshit. maybe i enjoy having high standards
whoops i didnt mean to type so much but im frustrated that childrens media is doing this to adult brains

I have probably posted this before but will keep repeating it:
On my flight back from Branson a bro reached across the aisle to his friend and said “You gotta watch EndGame It’s the best one.”

real sad morning for me, they also noted he had dementia for the past few years
was watching a late-period Columbo the other night (the one with Patrick McGoohan!) and thinking about how Peter Falk (who died of dementia as well) incorporated his obviously-slowing processes into that character who was always willing to step back, pretend fault
