question: I feel like the relationship of the audience to movies has changed in the past ten or 15 years. They expect the movie to come to them. answer: Absolutely. They’d rather go home and turn on their TV and see a film that way. And let’s face it, a certain kind of corruption comes in because people go home and they shop around on these streaming platforms. There’s some good things about the platforms. They create a lot of movies. They create a lot of jobs. But there’s so many distractions that you can’t enter the stuff. People watch five minutes of something and they say, “I’m not really into it” and they go to another thing. “I’m not really into it.” Then another thing. “I’m not really into it.” Then they go to bed. If you don’t put in the effort, you’re not going to receive much. And the discourse gets lowered, and everything gets a little more dumbed down and then that’s when the ruffians come in, and they’re the ones with energy and stupidity and then they can crush all the thoughtful people. That’s not good for culture, and that’s not good for humanity. We see the results of that all the time.

I like how Little Shop of Horrors stops for a second and goes “yeah I’ve got a real fuckin beef with Dentists!!” and then goes back to the plant stuff

lots of americans understand how their healthcare system is fucked up but if americans collectively understood just how fucked up their healthcare system is compared with other countries there would be a revolution tomorrow

Finally watched The Substance over the weekend and can’t get over the feeling of being so keyed up by the last 30 mins only to descend immediately into deep sadness as the credits rolled + I just stared at my reflection in the TV…….yayy cinema!

Watching the og Black Christmas for the first time and just got to the call is coming from inside the house reveal & I yelled with glee like people who got married at 21 do when they watch marvel movies

My mother rejected my offer to go see wicked aka the most Mom Movie™️ of all time bc she’s heard “mixed reviews”….fyi this is the same woman who has voluntarily watched & enjoyed films that would make the folks behind the razzies seppuku themselves

Suing Kendrick for having a superior diss track is something Kendrick would say Drake does in a diss track

Feels like a lot of conflict and confusion could be avoided if we all acknowledged that not all women are feminists, and that not all of their actions need to be—or can be—justified in feminist terms.

You’re holding space for the lyrics of defying gravity

I’m holding you up bc you’re blackout drunk at the cheesecake factory

I sincerely appreciate the efforts to keep fascism off here but imo u still need stupid innocent drama to make social media really pop so I’m waiting for this app’s official christening aka utterly meaningless but hypnotizing beef between 2+ people from the nyc digital media scene

They gotta do something to get this place bumping bc falling prey to the siren call of Twitter this week only to sustain unfathomable psychic damage from the combo of ads, bots & bugs was nearly fatal
