I am always thinking about every line of dialogue in the first 50 seconds of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

one thing it is imperative to know about the television show Widow’s Bay is that it was created by katie dippold whose name you may not immediately recognize but whose tweet from 10 years ago you definitely do:

so much male art relies on the male perspective of contrast between death and innocence with innocence always mapped female. and fundamentally its about sex at a personal societal and philosophical level the man as an entity and a man as a individual knows what he does to women is wrong but he does it anyway because he believes he is compelled. so you walk into a piece of art or a book or a movie and so on and its all lambs being eaten by lions, a girl walking alongside a massive beast of death, its all so fucking boring. male culture has two stories the bildungsroman (the man leaving the womans world behind to enter the "real world" of male brutality) and whatever the name for this phenomenon is. Corruption narrative. which is about the destruction of the female, erotic or otherwise. its everywhere and its supposed to be deep but its every fucking time the same shit

Mad Max: Fury Road and practically every film JJ Abrams has ever made including The Force Awakens.

[iwilleatyourenglish]

Mad Max: Fury Road was edited by Margaret Sixel, who is married to George Miller and who he begged to edit the film because he said that if a man edited it, would be a totally different movie and not one he wanted to make.

Maryann Brandon and Mary Jo Markey edited The Force Awakens. Maryann Brandon has worked on almost all of the shows and films Abrams has worked on and Mary Jo Markey is also a frequent collaborator.

Thelma Colbert Schoonmaker has edited all of Martin Scorcese’s films since Raging Bull and worked with him for around 40 years.

Sally Menke edited all of Quentin Tarantino’s films until her tragic death in 2010.

Julia Bloch is an editor gaining attention for her work on Blue Ruin and Green Room.

about 40% of Hollywood editors are women. when discussing how these women are underrepresented, you need to give their names.

[bitchthefuck1-deactivated202204]

Marcia Lucas (George Lucas’ now ex-wife) was one of the co-editors of A New Hope (and the rest of the trilogy) and is a huge part of the reason Star Wars actually worked in the first place. George’s original cut of the first film was a mess and she edited the shit out it to fix all the pacing and narrative issues, which earned her an Oscar, something George Lucas has never received.

Character designs for Sleeping Beauty (1959) by Tom Oreb

[birdplushie]

already said this in somebody's tags but the true nightmare horror of pluribus is what if you were 50 years old and then you were suddenly forced to be a teenager again. nobody wants to hang out with you because you're "disruptive" and a threat to the social order and their worldview and actually they're all talking about you behind your back and nobody respects your autonomy or agency and any independence you may have had is taken from you as you're forced to rely entirely on the conditional "kindness" of people who want change and fix you because they believe there is something wrong with the kind of person you are and they all condescendingly talk down to you about how you don't understand how the world works or what you actually want and you should just let them make the decisions for you

If you spent the first half of 2026 in survival mode, may the second half be spent in revival mode. It’s time to heal.

Looking through a Toyfare magazine from 2004 and found what might be my favorite ad ever

[asneakyfox]

western media reviewing pluribus: in the collectivist cultures of The East, which place no value on individuality, the hivemind would not be understood as horrific uniformity but as a vision of harmony. the genius of the show is in gradually making us realize carol's resistance to the diverse and global hive is grounded in her ideological corruption by individualist capitalism and privileged position as an american white woman. i am very smart.

the japanese and chinese reviews i just looked up in like five minutes with google translate: the insidious hive is an obvious metaphor for western cultural imperialism and its determination to erase global diversity. love the subversion of making this english-speaking white person a victim of metaphorical colonialism for once, the shoe's on the other foot now huh carol? bit too on the nose to name the show after a latin word written on american dollars though
