Twitter is apparently in its death throes, so I need a place to try and market myself, and socialize, and all that stuff. I suppose I'm stuck with Tumblr again, because Instagram refuses to to cooperate with my phone. So, fuck. Guess we're back to the fandom hellscape.
favorite story: apparently, while filming “black swan,” the director would try to pit mila kunis and natalie portman against each other, telling them that the other woman was doing a better job, in hopes of making their characters’ rivalry seem more authentic. but it completely backfired, since instead of getting angry or competitive, natalie and mila would just congratulate each other on doing such good work.
Directors who do stuff like this are pieces of shit
What men think women are like verses what women are actually like
also this:
Let’s name the director: Darren Aronofsky. He has since directed mother! where he forced Jennifer Lawrence to reshoot a scene after she broke a rib or something. He is still really praised in cinephile circles, which is why I want to name and shame him.
And let us all admit that directors like Darren Aronofsky are not being praised DESPITE this behaviour but rather BECAUSE of it. They’re seen as edgy and willing to take risks and do what needs to be done, no matter the fallout, to get the perfect shot. They take risks for their art. Except, of course, they don’t. They make other take risks, they push and damage other people, not themselves.
Darren Aronofsky banned bottled water on the set of “Noah”, and after a long day of filming, Emma Watson came back to her trailer so exhausted and dehydrated that she unthinkingly drank a glass of water that had been left sitting out for weeks, maybe months. The water had gotten filthy by that point, and it made her horrifically ill. When she told Aronofsky that she was sick, he refused to let her take a break from filming. He told her to “use it”.
Aronofsky’s a manipulative, abusive POS.
Other directors have done this too, like Kubrick. The more I learn about Hollywood culture the less I can stand it.
I know people always bring up Shelly Duvall but Kubrick did this kind of thing to actors too. I think Malcolm McDowell has permanent eye damage thanks to that scene in A Clockwork Orange. His behavior wasn’t unique to women as far as I know. Hitchcock was a total creep though.
I think it also needs to be rembered that Shelly Duvall was coming off of working almost exclusively with Altman, maybe the polar opposite in terms of Kubrick in terms of the free rein he'd give actors to improvise, talk over each other, basically just do whatever they want and figure it out in the editing. So she was just in a very special case of being almost set up for her experience to be an exhausting ordeal.
Also-- Kubrick had Scatman Crothers take an axe to the chest something like 50 times. Perfectionism is sometimes just kind of pathogical. And I'm someone who puts Kubrick basically as cinematic God Almighty.
Also also-- You wanna hear about nightmare directors, look up Miyazaki and the animator Yoshinori Kanada.
"You Are Complicit" Dear parents, teachers, camp counselors, daycare workers, and others that are responsible for the well-being of children and young adults...When they tell you they are being bullied, and you tell them "Nobody likes a tattletale" or the many similar cop-out phrases like it, you are complicit.
You are complicit in the bullying of millions of children and young adults who experience this every single day. You are complicit in the emotional and physical damage caused by that abuse and when a child or young adult takes their own life to escape the continuous unforgiving onslaught of the bullies left completely unchecked by your apathetic response, you are complicit in their deaths.
Their well-being was your responsibility and you failed them. Your job in that position is to shape the worldview of the children in your care, and when you do this, you are teaching the bullies that there is nothing wrong with their actions, and you are teaching the victims that they are alone in this, their pain does not matter, and no one will protect them.
And when the child is disabled the situation can be even worse. We often don't have the physical, mental or emotional capability to defend ourselves, and we often need more protection than our peers. Those like me who grew up Autistic, confused and scared of this alien world are particularly vulnerable as we are often bullied worse than others, and are even more confused as to why.
And quite frankly, I'm sick of waking up to find another Autistic person beaten, murdered, or taking their own life because of this bullying and the people who allow it to continue. The average life expectancy of an Autistic person is 37 because of our high murder and suicide rates, and we lose more every single day. I am 35 now, and it is gut-wrenching that so few of us make it to my age, and even fewer past that.
So...when a child or young adult comes to you for protection and tells you they are being bullied by their siblings, their schoolmates, or any other children they come into contact with, if instead of intervening and doing what's right, you would rather wash your hands of the situation like you were Pontius Pilate, you should not be a parent, you should not be a teacher, you should not be involved in the upbringing of children in any way.
And if any of you are thinking "that's not my job," "they should grow a backbone," "I'm teaching them to stand up for themselves" or one of those other pull-string doll phrases, you are a coward and you are unfit for your position. And, if this is who you are, and you are in a position of responsibility involving children, don't you dare ask why the world is the way it is. Instead, head to the store, buy yourself a mirror and look directly into it because the answer will be right in front of you.

Ok y'all but like I’m not even kidding about this I read this post yesterday and today I got an email from the peeps at hamilton and I won the lotto gor $10 tickets and I would like to give all my thanks to the internet’s favorite fish, Goldie Gurston, for making this possible because I totally believe they did this with their amazing gay powers
So I know this is likely a coincidence…but I reblogged this and just now discovered I’ve been given a $150 amazon gift card as a bonus at work. So thank you, fish!
If it worked for them I hope it works for everyone else
Some big spicy joy pls
SOME BIG SPICY JOY PLEASE
RUMOR : Eda’s Voice Actress Is Broadway Actress Jennifer Jiles?
Eda’s Voice Actress is Broadway.com actress Jennife Jiles? in the resume of the talented Broadway Actress it says that she provided work for Eda but it says pilot BUT it also says “series regular"
Is it wrong I was hoping it'd be Petrea Burchard?
Reminds me of this meme:
Not to mention Xena and Gabrielle, Cathy Gale, Emma Peel and Tara King, Vixen, Uhura, Troi and Beverly Crusher, Dr. Zira, Helen Benson, Nikki Nicholson, Foxy Brown, Varla, Rosie and Billie, San, Mulan, Shu Lien and Jen, Princess Yuki, Jem and the Holograms, Honey West, Lee Hunter, the ladies of Hidden Figures, and so many more to count…
Reblogging just to include you know who.
It occurs to me that I have no idea if I may or may not be having an anxiety attack by a bitter taste in my mouth for adrenaline because I think I'm just sort of used to it constantly being there?

Father uses sons’ drawings as inspiration for anime transformations
By: Thomas Romain (twitter | instagram | youtube | patreon)
Wholesome and badass
The father’s artistic talent is clearly on display here, but I’m actually really impressed with this kid’s wild imagination. Many of his drawings are both conceptually unique and coherent.
Agreed
Isn't this basically what the director/designer relationship is like? Hell, those kids are probably giving the dad way more concrete input than a lot of directors.
Okay, so a bunch of my comics here have been flagged, but not the ones I expected...
Let me back up. I've got a webcomic here on Tumblr called "Neo-Westchester" that I've mostly allowed to fall into neglect because I'm more interested in animation and storyboarding right now. But it's all still here and I like looking at it variously as a showcase of my visual storytelling talents, and as a testament to the fact that I'm nowhere near as bad an illustrator as I was a couple years ago. When Tumblr announced they were going to be taking down NSFW photos, artwork and basically anything involving nudity, I figured that one of my whole storylines would be excised-- an "Eyes Wide Shut" inspired bit where my protagonists stumble on a mysterious cabal of Gamergate geeks who secretly control pop culture and have naked girls hang around them while they cyberbully people (because that's just SO clever now, isn't it?).
Here's the thing, though...
Turns out these pages WEREN'T taken down. None of them. Even though they feature gratuitous, poorly drawn naked women in pretty much every panel. Maybe my poor draftsmanship sat in some kind of blind spot for the algorithm?
I figured maybe these posts were too old to have been picked up yet, so I checked earlier stuff with nakedness. And again-- nothing is flagged. Curious. Now, you might wonder where I'm going with this, but in fact a bunch of my comics were flagged.
Starting here. A story in which I reveal President Trump has had his brain removed from his body and placed in a "Ghost in the Shell" type walking cyberbrain laptop thingamajig. And I mean... Okay? Maybe it's the brain image? Maybe it's just...? I don't know.
Next one, a secret cabal in the White House led by corporate conspirators (and a bunch of cabinet members who've since been kicked out-- talk about dating myself) explain exactly WHY Trump had his brain put into a cyberbrain laptop. Something I'm not entirely sure of myself, but again, no nudity or anything. Just politics and holograms. Curious.
Funny thing-- one of the strips that WASN'T flagged featured Cybertrump revealing a cyborg micropenis and subjecting former Attorney General Jeff Sessions to a golden shower. Okay. So nudity isn't flagged, neither is urination, but references to "Ghost in the Shell" are...?
Seriously though, that's the only link I can think of for this next flagged strip, featuring... um... people playing paintball. I put a GITS tag on it because I'm a big "Stand Alone Complex" fan, so... I dunno. Is an homage copyright infringement?
Then there's more politics (including Sean Spicer, who feels like he's from so long ago you're liable to find him as a character in a Doonesbury strip from the 80's) in the next flagged comics. I really wonder what the hell is objectionable here, except to maybe raise the theory that somebody at Tumblr or some X Factor in the censorship algorithm is touchy about saying anything negative about the Trump administration. I mean, this is a strip that has gratuitous nudity, profanity and a fair amount of graphic violence, and none of THAT gets flagged?
Oh, well except for this guy getting sliced in half. Okay, that's fair.
Really?
I guess this is Tumblrs third impact.
Should've known.
IT ALL COMES
TUMBL-ING DOWN, TUMBL-ING DOWN
TUMBL-ING DOOOOOOWN...
Hey everyone who else has completely inexplicable posts flagged by Tumblr?
I mean I'm happy to be in the club, I just wanna know who else is here.
I'm willing to look at him with a certain amount of respect. However, anyone who wants an even deeper look at how fucked up his foreign policy was would be doing themselves a favor to google Barbara Trent's documentary "The Panama Deception".
Two more animatics I’ve made for my original “Dreamcatchers” concept. I really hope to be able to fully flesh these out in full animation with voice and sound. I’m enjoying just exploring the world and characters here. Hope others like it.
As before, made in Storyboard Pro.
people I still want to stab over a decade later:
Creative Writing Professor at a former college: Welcome to creative writing! By the way, you will not write fantasy, ghost stories, pranormal, or science fiction in this class, as this is a creative writing course.”
This is why i dropped out
The only creative writing teacher I ever had who was worth a damn was the published author who was happy as a clam that someone wrote a piece of Sherlock Holmes fanfiction about Sherlock's daughter and Watson's son. I think the only valid critique I had was to ask if the mother was Irene Adler.
PLEASE EMPLOYMENT JELLY
Not risking it all I want in my life is a job I actually like
Sure why not, I’ll try anything at this point
i have an interview tomorrow!
I have an interview in less than an hour so crossing my fingers
I HAVE AN INTERVIEW THURSDAY
For anybody who needs it :)
Yes, I absolutely am willing to reblog for a job I deserve!
...wait a sec
I wonder what kind of symbolism they’re trying to get at
“There are a lot of giant robot shows in Japan, and we did want our story to have a religious theme to help distinguish us. Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool. If we had known the show would get distributed in the US and Europe we might have rethought that choice.” -Kazuya Tsurumaki, assistant director/art director on Neon Genesis Evangelion
eva is literally fake deep
#i love this tbh #like their treating christianity like white people treat buddhism and what not is such an unintentional fuck you
A better comparison is that Japan Christianity like Hollywood treats Voodoo.
Speaking as an American semi Catholic, I'd say they got it pretty right.
