feedmyleg posted:Did we ever get a definitive answer on why the original Sonic movie design was so bad? Like, who insisted that they had to do their own spin on it? What was the thinking? I think there's a significant (and older, and more influential) segment of the American movie-going audience that just hates abstraction and artifice. It's this nexus of people who prefer "realism" even when it's loving hideous, the attitude that cartoons are exclusively for children, a little bit of chauvinism towards other countries whose filmmaking industries don't always have the budget to make everything look photorealistic, and probably some other factors I haven't thought of. One manifestation of this is that, rather than making films like Who Killed Roger Rabbit where two aesthetic worlds overlap while remaining distinct, you get movies where Sonic looks like a disgusting blue rat because you're only allowed one aesthetic at a time and that's what Sonic "would" look like in real life. e: I might be overstating the extent to which the fear of artifice, the fear of silliness, and the love of uniformity are the same phenomenon, and it's very possible that some of them will outlive the others. They all seem pretty tightly intertwined to me for the moment, though.

I agree with everything you say in this, but just lol at the idea of going for realism in a film where, even before there's any CGI, you have Jim Carrey playing a character named Dr Robotnik.

I will say, as someone who was way too into Arrow and saw every episode as it aired, the episode Lexi Alexander directed wasn't bad, but didn't stand out at all compared to any random episode where they were just like "writing team got tired of writing Olicity drama, let the stunt team do whatever the gently caress they want for 20 minutes straight, give them a steady cam."

The blacklisting idea is because she doesn't support Israel, and it's loving evangelical Christians that will cancel you faster for not supporting Israel than American Jews. Edit: It's also entirely possible possible she doesn't get more work both because she has correct but unpopular political ideals and is terrible to work with. One will often compound the effect of the other, "I know he's a tyrant on the set, but he says all the right things to all the right people" "Yeah she's a firebrand, but when you're shooting with her everything works smoothly."

It's actually sorta hosed up that criticizing Israel as a state for committing genocide against the Palestinian people is considered more anti-semitic than screaming "the Jews control everything you loving oval office" in a drunken rant at a female cop that pulled you over for a DUI.

It's probably a number of things. Between being a woman in Hollywood, being outspoken about the treatment of female directors, and generally being an rear end in a top hat I would guess that's why she isn't too in demand. Though I don't imagine that being vocally Pro-Palestine and being a loudmouth on twitter is doing her any favors because if I had to guess I doubt the studios want to deal with that potential shitstorm.

The evangelical Christians who are commonly thought to wield a lot of power in Hollywood? I’m sorry, I’m calling bullshit. Here is an article about various people taking a stand against Israel (albeit indirectly in some cases): Viggo Mortensen, Mark Ruffalo, John Cusack, James Schamus... all of whom seem to be doing ok. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/filmmakers-back-right-boycott-israel-german-festival-controversy-1123831 So I don’t know how much backlisting because of support for Palestine really goes on. cargohills posted:Putting Ken Loach's name right next to Mel Gibson is a bit of a stretch, no? One is on the record as a virulent racist, the other got bad-mouthed by some of the worst journalists in the UK for defending Jeremy Corbyn. I absolutely did not mean to equate them, you’re quite right. It was more to point out that neither a known anti-Semite nor a prominent Israel critic have been blacklisted. So it’s unlikely that her position on Palestine is it. Misogyny is a more plausible explanation. Plus assholery. therattle fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Feb 19, 2021 |

I don't know if there's a big Evangelical segment in the film industry (probably not unless we're talking about the MPAA) but American Evangelicals are nuts about Israel because that's supposed to be Jesus' landing pad during the rapture. And then when he gets there Jewish people have to convert or go to Hell. American conservatism is a death cult. edit: Now that I think of it, this is probably not exclusive to the US.

To whom exactly were you referring when you said “most of the industry”? Because I don’t think you meant evangelical Christians. I think you meant it as Jews blacklisting her because of her views on Palestine. Which is getting awfully close to “Jews control Hollywood and blacklist anyone who criticises Israel”. I dunno, maybe I’m being paranoid or over-sensitive but that first post about blacklisting definitely set off an alarm bell in me. Point taken about men being ok. I definitely think misogyny could be a factor.

I really think it was the angle of "this is an unpopular opinion and one that can generate negative controversy" and the evangelical thing came in with their ability to amplify controversy and make it the aforementioned PR nightmare. Like being openly anti-semitic didn't hurt Mel as much because he's also super conservative and the same evangelicals that unwaveringly support Israel (but only Likud and to the right of them) also think Mel's right that a sinister Jewish cabal controls Hollywood. CPL593H posted:I guess that's why she got turned down for Captain Phillips.

America is a settler-colonial nation much like South Africa, Israel and northern Ireland where the native population was pushed out or outright massacred to make room for settlers. Which is why American conservatives and northern Irish unionists both idolize Israel because they're doing today what British settlers did in America and Ireland hundreds of years ago. Also in America there's the weirdo religious segment that's wildly antiemetic but supports the existence of Israel because they believe the state of Israel is necessary for Armageddon and of course no one gets to heaven until Armageddon.

Look at what they've tried to do to Ilhan Omar.
