The thing about Project Hail Mary and the way it uses puppets not CGI and built entire sets and built the Petrova line out of wire and lights…

And also, now I come to think of it, Iron Lung building a real set and actually using gallons of fake blood

Is that it feels real. It feels solid. Actors are absolutely brilliant at acting at nothing there but when Grace hugged Rocky, there was so much emotion because Ryan Gosling was hugging something real, when Simon gets thrown around the ship it feel real because he’s trying not to hit the wall.

Green screen acting is a skill but emotion comes when the actors can touch and feel and react to something real. They can reach out. They can hug and they can bruise.

Both movies featured one actor in a set with no other actors for large periods of time and yet they absolutely worked because everything around them was real. And I think that’s a lesson Hollywood needs to learn.

When it’s green screen we can tell! We instinctively know the action on screen isn’t “real.”

That’s why all the Mad Max movies go so hard, because they’re almost entirely practical effects and we can tell all those guys are actually boinging around on those cars!

sometimes the author’s barely disguised fetish is YOUR barely disguised fetish and has nothing to do with the author at all

hey so a bunch of people have taken this post as an opportunity to decry interpreting media sexually/suggestively at all and it’s pissing me off. joining the war on eroticism on the side of eroticism. #ThatCigaretteIsAPenis

i do appreciate the way that we tumblr users have evolved our language to discuss our feelings related to The Character/The Guy. you used to have to just say he was hot or he was making your ovaries explode or he was a precious cinnamon roll even if he looked bad or was just kind of standing there or whatever. now you can say things like “the creature” or “he looks so sopping wet here” or “i want to chain him to my radiator” like it’s just more inclusive and adaptable to the situation

as someone on the asexual spectrum, this shift in language genuinely made me feel more comfortable and happy in fandom spaces. i've never once wanted to lick a man's abs. i HAVE wanted to chain a man to my radiator. and that's beautiful.

Rotating the blorbo in the microwave of your mind just says so much. No specifics needed.

i love writing out numbers and then putting them in parentheses like "one (1)" even when i dont need to i think its funny

"who said that" is a powerful spell that casts a defensive bubble around your most vulnerable thoughts

gatesofminrathous

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

you’re eric bogosian you’re like 70something and you think your days of being a big dick bisexual are over and then you sign on to play a character on some vampire show and within three years you’re posting oldguy thirst traps that make assad zaman foam at the mouth in your instagram comments

Whenever I hear someone say "the woke mob" I have to stop myself from laughing because even today all I can think of is this fucking tweet

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

manuciruja

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

smadsel

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

smadsel

that’s not the whole flag, now is it
