The Modern Movie Industry | Tumblr | Know Your Meme

mostlybuckystuff Matt Damon explains why they don't make movies like they used to. Pls watch. 0:31 / 1:39 luna-rainbow This is actually a really good perspective and explains why the MCU is the way it is. It is essentially one-off entertainment without the backup of DVD sales (of course Disney being Disney it is still backed up by massive merchandise and spin off sales). The movie is designed to be "disposable". The rewatch value is low because it's not intended to be sold on DVD for people to treasure and rewatch every year at Christmas (or whenever) with family. The idea is to generate hype, through manufacturing controversy or teases or gossip. Keeping spoilers under wrap is integral because the rewatch value is negligible. It hinges on surprise or shock (or w-- value) to entice audiences to give up their money to see it in theatres. It is about spectacle, about being loud and colourful and busy, so that for the first 30 minutes after you walk out your senses are still buzzing and you feel like that was worth your $30 or however much. It takes a while for your brain to come back online after the sensory overload to then try to pick apart the plot, and by that stage it doesn't matter, you've already hyped it up to your friends. And the story or characterisation doesn't matter because no one is watching that again to care. kradeiz Kelly Turnbull @Coelas... 2022-08-22 I think CONSTANTLY about cult classic media that "failed" by the box office measure but was foundational in the modern media landscape and how every year it gets harder make that. Highlander was a mid-budget box office flop that inspired like half of nerd media these days 13,524 194 28.9K Kelly Turnbull @Coelas... 2022-08-22 NO ONE wants to give a shot to anything as risky and esoteric as Highlander, but they're chomping at the bit to make "literally Highlander, again" because Highlander was allowed to be a weird flop that spent 35 years finding its audience 4,241 ↑ 9 228 Kelly Turnbull @Coelas... 2022-08-22 Johnny Mnemonic is constantly mocked for being a failure, but if you actually watch Johnny Mnemonic you can tell that this movie inspired basically everyone whose made a cyberpunk/dystopian video game for like 30 years Kelly Turnbull @Coelas... 2022-08-22 And even the people who didn't KNOW they were being inspired by Johnny Mnemonic were probably inspired by other people who were inspired by Johnny Mnemonic. The first time I watched it there were so many moments where I was like "oh s---! That came from this!" 13 90 2,888 Kelly Turnbull @Coelas... 2022-08-22 The most uncomfortable, dystopian part of Ready Player One for me was how media creation had basically stagnated in their hypothetical future in favour of everyone wanking on about this one dude's favourite legacy IP, that feel like exactly the direction we're headed. 16 475 4,431 : ↑ Kelly Turnbull @Coelas... 2022-08-22 Like, no one is allowed to make the new original cherished mid-budget cult classic media for the next generation because executives will only listen to your pitch if it's a rehash of their favourite four or five movies that came out 40 years ago

The Jewish tradition of Purim

dark-haired-hamlet There are n*zis on campus rn and a student brought out like a 1997 boombox and started blasting Taking The Hobbits to Isengard every time they tried to say something. "Those who do not share our genes -THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS THE MASTER RACE - TO ISENGARD TO ISENGARD - AND I BELIEVE THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS THE-" the44thpilot Chaotic good curiousobsession101 In Jewish tradition, one of our holidays is called Purim. It celebrates the defeat of an antisemitic political advisor to a king who liked to prowl the streets ranting his hatred. Part of the story of Purim involves the people being ranted at inventing a special kind of noisemaker to drown him out. Basically what I'm saying is this student is following a grand tradition whether they realize it or not and they should be proud. whisperwhisk not only is Purim about drowning out fascists, it's about doing so in the most absurd and embarrassing ways possible! fascism thrives on an aura of invincibility, and it's hard to hold onto that when people keep making farting sounds every time you open your mouth so really, weaponized memes are PERFECTLY in keeping with the Purim spirit disease-danger-darkness-silence *slams fist on table* NOW THIS is the kind of religious/cultural tradition I can get behind! 278,690 notes

you have a very interesting vernacular. were you on tumblr in 2014?

voidandradiance the most disorienting thing thats ever happened to me was when a linguistics major stopped in the middle of our conversation, looked me in the eye, and said, "you have a very interesting vernacular. were you on tumblr in 2014?" and i had to just stand there and process that one for a good ten seconds

German Shepherds

thefingerinthemiddle universalthaumaturge ... homunculus-argument The reason why german shepherds are the way they are isn't that they're stupid, they just have so much energy that they run out of smart things to do, and doing stupid s--- is infinitely better than doing nothing. They'll do the smart thing when one is available, yes, but if a german shepherd was a person, they'd be the type to make a 23-point to-do-list for a day, start working on it at 7:30 in the morning, be done with every single point on the list by noon, and then start constructing a new wall in the middle of the living room out of freeze-dried banana peels. 3.3k notes
