definitely not the only one! (hanukkah jumper post)

it has recently been brought to my attention that the jumper wanda is wearing in the original post has text on it which is both misogynistic and anti-Semitic. I am not Jewish, and I had no idea that the jumper was so gross, but ignorance is not an excuse and I should have done more research beforehand. I’ve edited out the offensive text and ask that you guys delete the old post from your blogs and reblog this new one instead. @fromchaostocosmos and @shoshanish - thank you for your patience and graciousness.

Not exactly a meet cute but Charles didn’t wanna go to that potluck with the Summers family anyway.

Last night I dreamed I was arguing about some political thing. Whatever it was about, the other person insisted that actually Karl Marx had a well-developed theory about it, but that most people didn’t know because he kept it in the lower right part. And I said, huh? And they went on to explain in some detail that Marx kept his different theories in different parts of his beard.

What if...

the Sentinels of the future to be derived from Darwin’s power, instead of Raven’s? His power better aligns to how they behave in the movie — adapting to attacks. With her power, Sentinels would have been able to appear as something other than big scary robots.

They could have easily brought Darwin into the plot without losing precious Raven/Mystique as the central figure in the film, since we know they wanted to bank of JLaw as much as humanly possible. To me, the main benefit of her is watching Charles and Erik go at it like divorcees over her. Otherwise, she irks me but I digress…

Darwin could have been captured by the govt. and handed over to Trask after he reformed himself. Mystique could have gained this intel and made it her mission not only to kill Trask but save Darwin whose still in custody all these years later as he can’t die.

I wonder if motivations would have been different with Darwin in the mix. Maybe Charles would been a bit more angry or saw it a chance to keep a promise to Darwin as he failed Raven. Maybe Erik would taken a more nuanced approach with someone needing to be saved, especially since he failed to save JFK and has a chance to get it right. Who knows?! But I do know this… 

We still miss you Darwin!

I love comics/cartoons Mystique, but I’m unimpressed by Jennifer Lawrence girl-next-door Mystique (wasn’t all that enamored with Rebecca Romijn lackey Mystique, either, but at least she was confident and powerful). Darwin was basically too good for this trash franchise--his mutation was way too useful and he was way too reasonable to keep around.

For Fury Road’s fluid editing, Miller called upon his wife, Margaret Sixel, who had spent most of her career editing documentaries and had never cut an action movie before. ‘We’ve got teenage sons, but I’m the one who goes to the action movies with them!’ laughed Miller. ‘So when I asked her to do Mad Max, she said, ‘Well, why me?’ And I said, ‘Because then it’s not going to look like other action movies.“ And it doesn’t. Compare the smart, iterative set pieces of Fury Road to one of the incoherent car chases in Spectre, for example, and you’ll see that Sixel prizes a sense of spatial relationships that has become all too rare in action movies. ‘She’s a real stickler for that,’ said Miller. ‘And it takes a lot of effort! It’s not just lining up all the best shots and stringing them together, and she’s very aware of that. She’s also looking for a thematic connection from one shot to the next. If it regressed the characters and their relationships, she’d be against that. And she has a very low boredom threshold, so there’s no repetition.’ That Sixel was able to whittle 480 hours of footage down into a movie that sings still astounds Miller. ‘It’s like working in the head of a great composer,’ he said. ‘Movies like this one — in particular this one, because it’s almost a silent movie — are like visual music. In the same way that a composer has to have a strong casual relationship from one note to the next, paying attention tempo and melodic line and overall structure, it’s exactly the same process that a film editor must have.’ Sixel, surely, is one of the greats.

Director George Miller Explains Why His Mad Max: Fury Road Deserves These Oscar Nominations (via jag-lskardig)

so good on George Miller for giving credit to his wife and colleague. that said, FUCK YES women have ALWAYS edited for male directors without getting any recognition within the industry let alone any kind of mainstream acclaim. I mean, film editing isn’t really on the radar for most moviegoers/watchers so yeah, I don’t expect people to know this? But goddamn, even so many self-proclaimed film and cinema buffs fail to realize that so many of the “best” movies (mostly directed by men, natch) were edited by women. Does anyone remember that quote/anecdote about male directors discouraging their female film editors - or even actively sabotaging potential opportunities - because they didn’t want to lose the person who made sense of all their footage?
