I think I cracked the code on why current fashion is all atheleisure, body con, lingerie outside the bedroom, tight polyester material and how it coincides with the rise of eating disorders/diet culture and heroin chic. the clothes are no longer fashion, the body is the fashion. rather than wearing something as an expression of yourself you wear to show of your body. that's not even me being on some slut shaming shit, but I think about most often when you see the comments on a person ootd unless they're somebody known for a alternative or maximalist style it's always the emphasis of the body. Body tea, body tea, snatched, snatched, ate no crumbs. That whole waistline trend. Just imagine how if fat people started a belly band trend or something similar how people would jump to decry it as fetish material. Yet the obsession with thinness is never seen as perverse, rather something that should be regarded as inspo or hell even promoting a healthy lifestyle.

I am an amateur designer and I fully agree, having arrived at this conclusion from a slightly different angle.

Non poly fabric has slowly disappeared from both the consumer and creator markets. It's just harder and harder to find.

One of the issues is that almost ALL clothing is expected to be stretchy and light. Historically this would have just been regarded as 'flimsy', which it is-- poly and poly blend fabrics degrade rapidly, fueling the fast fashion buy cycle.

But nowadays that kind of unfinished cheapness is a 'plus' because it helps clothes do what the market wants--- which is cling to the body in order to reveal it.

In order to have maximum cling, especially at a 'marketable' price, you HAVE to use synthetics like polyamide, spandex etc. Knits stretch, but do not cling and 'spring back' in a way that will allow for skintight clothes without excessive custom tailoring.

I note that specifically because tailored clothing can *also* cling to the body, but it's a) way more quality and expensive and b) rarely used to reveal the ENTIRE body, rather used to exaggerate certain areas. A gown may have a fitted bodice, for example, but then expand again at the shoulders or hem in order to create an interesting silhouette.

Currently, the average clothing-- especially for women, the prime market-- is fully meant to show off a BODY more than perform ANY other function-- the clothes are not warm, they're not that breathable, they're not durable, they're not structured, they don't signal quality and thus class, they don't have cultural identity.

They DO show off whether or not you have rolls and the exact dimensions of your form, and that is the ultimate goal.

What stands out to me about this is that by putting the onus of value on the physical form, clothing companies can sell you next to fucking NOTHING because all they're being asked to do is help you show it off. Nothing more.

I feel like there are probably too many people just scrolling past this so let’s go through everything that’s going on here. 

1. With Roger’s voice actor standing off camera, Bob Hoskins acts into empty air and frantically sawing at his handcuff, continually looking up and down at different visual marks of various depths. Look at the slow pan up of his eyes in gif 4, and then the quick shift to his side. Think about how, on set, he was looking at nothing. 

2. Starting in gif 2, The box must be made to stop shaking, either by concealed crew member, mechanism, or Hoskins own dextrousness, as he is doing all of the things mentioned in point 1. 

3. In all gifs, Roger’s handcuff has to be made to move appropriately through a hidden mechanism. (If you watch the 4th gif closely you can see the split second where it is replaced by an animated facsimile of the actual handcuff, but just for barely a second.)

4. The crew voluntarily (we know this because it is now a common internal phrase at Disney for putting in extra work for small but significant reward) decided to make Roger bump the lamp and give the entire scene a constantly moving light source that had to be matched between the on set footage and Roger. This was for two reasons, A) Robert Zemeckis thought it would be funnier, and B) one of the key techniques the crew employed to make the audience instinctually accept that Toons coexisted with the live action environment was constant interaction with it. This is why, other than comedy, Roger is so dang clumsy. Instead of isolating Toons from real objects to make it easier for themselves, the production went out of its way to make Toons interact more with the live action set than even real actors necessarily would, in order to subtly, constantly remind the audience that they have real palpable presence. You can watch the whole scene here, just to see how few shots there are of Roger where he doesn’t interact with a real object. 

The crew and animators did all of this with hand drawn cell animation without computerized special effects. 1988, we were still five years out from Jurassic Park, the first movie to make the leap from fully physical creature effects to seamlessly integrating realistic computer generated images with live action footage. Roger’s shadows weren’t done with CGI. Hoskin’s sightlines were not digitally altered. Wires controlling the handcuff were not removed in post. 

Who fucking Framed Roger fucking Rabbit, folks. The greatest trick is when people don’t realize you’re tricking them at all.

This movie will be studied and analyzed and revered and worshipped for generations because, not only of the ground breaking techniques they used to make the magic happen but, for those of us that grew up with Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry, for 2 hours we were able to believe that they all really existed.

This is one if the LAST great movies that was ever made.

[benpaddon]

Let’s also not forget that writing. “Only when it was funny” isn’t just hilarious, it’s great comedy theory. It lampshades the joke, but also serves to remind the viewer that Toons have a separate set of physical laws they adhere to, mostly revolving around comedic value. Roger cannot remove his hand from the cuffs… until it’d get a laugh from an audience.

Everything about this movie, EVERYTHING about it, is so finely crafted. I could wax lyrical about it for days.

at the time, it was the most expensive movie ever made and had the longest credits. The budget was $70 million, over 800 people were listed in the credits and it took more than 10 minutes for them to finish

George Lucas' Star Wars tells you that you're a luminous energy that fills and supports a temporary vessel of crude matter, and this energy has a positive and a negative aspect. You're like a coin – you have two sides. As a living thing, your job is to wage a struggle between the negative and positive forces making up your consciousness, or self, or soul, or spirit, whatever you want to call it, so you can be on the "light" side of yourself, where you can find peace, fearlessness and happiness, as opposed to turn to your "dark" side, where you have anger, fear and suffering. You're not anyone in particular. If you keep your negative parts under check through compassion, patience and mindfulness, you're Anakin Skywalker; if you give in to the negative forces of your consciousness, they run you, and you're Darth Vader. Both contains each other and depend on each other, thus, Anakin can turn into Vader and Vader can turn into Anakin.

when Martha first tells the tale of the harlot whore we hear Grace making quiet, animalistic, unnatural sounds, little shrieks almost, which feeds the theory of her being possessed by the devil and kind of confirms what Martha (has been taught to) says. and then we see her crawl on the ground, amongst the ruins of her life, sobbing and crying with the desperation of a woman whose life has been thoroughly ruined. yes the lighting was beautiful but.

"Mini sculpture" you can't fool me. I see that definitely normal sized man there.

honestly it was them having to reverse the car back home in lake mungo that got me locked in. I was like oh shit... okay they're travelling back into the story now. and I didn't even know what was gonna happen in the rest of the film or about how Alice's story was going in one direction in time when her family was going in another, that their stories and her death were running over the top of each other and intersecting only at points in dreams and visions. but I just fucking loved that at the beginning they had to reverse all the way back to their home, like pressing rewind on the story straight away and ending up at the end of the film, which is really the beginning, with finding the video of alice seeing her own death months ago and seeing her mum leave at the close of the story

Sophie: "Do you really have to be here?"

Sterling: "You're not innocent, yet."

love how she immediately decides to punish him for this by involving him in her grifting if he's gonna be there, and gradually gets worse and worse about it.

talking to the art curator, he's allowed to stand in the background and watch.

talking to the daughter, gets smacked on the shoulder and called Clive when he isn't paying close enough attention (he does this little jump it's hilarious)

for the ex-wife she climbs into his lap, snuggles up to him, coos about their love (his name is Chance now), and ruffles/yanks his hair straight up off his head

and before you ask, no i could not use fewer screencaps for that one. look at his dead eyes, his fake smile. it's incredible, 'you wanted to stay close to me didn't you? i'll show you close' at its best, Sophie you're doing incredible sweetie.
