It's been around for a while but I only recently found out about and watched it. Pretty good imo Oh yeah, I watched all those on Steam when they were released. Didn't know they did a compilation though, that's cool. Haven't revisited them for a long while, so I'll queue that up tonight, hah. [edit] Oh seems to not be available in my location. What region are you in? I can try to VPN it I guess. teagone fucked around with this message at 18:30 on May 15, 2021 |

Anyone here familiar with Shockfest Film Festival? I just received an email from their festival director saying he liked a short film I did and encouraged me to submit it. The festival looks legit and cool from some basic googling but the email is just the right middleground between vague and specific that it could be some standardised form they send out en masse. Maybe I just have imposter syndrome and can't imagine anyone liking my work enough to contact me. Not that it really matter worst case scenario they don't screen it and I'm out 40 bucks which isn't that big of a loss.

Not that anyone should feel ashamed about being in the film, because it's great, but it kinda has to suck for Josie and the Pussycats being the high water mark in your career.

IIRC those films are made by a film school that has graduating students make a "real" film with "stars" to get a proper IMDB credit.

I don't think Lakeith Stanfield deserves as much poo poo as he's been getting, from what I've seen he was part of a Clubhouse conversation about critically assessing Farrakhan's legacy, recognising him as a problematic figure, and there were a bunch of weird people in the chat who said death to all Jews and the like. Not his problem!

Apparently they just automatically give celebrities mod powers when they pop in. What happened sucked but his apology was good, he unequivocally took responsibility

"let's give all views a chance" or some such I'd really like to see what kinds of antisemitic remarks were being made that would cause Stanfield to think discussion was a viable option

Making a fake Youtube outro for a short The big dead space on the right is where the end credits go and the dead space under the Zs is where a picture of one of the actors pretending to sleep will go.

I saw this guy do a standup set while he had food poisoning. That was interesting, but also hilarious. He's a good comic.

pospysyl posted:Midsommar's pretty obvious, showing a conflict between individualists and an extreme form of collectivism. The opening scene lays out the men's philosophies: they want to devote themselves to personal betterment, whether that be developing their careers, producing academic knowledge, or just pursuing individual pleasure. The village they visit demonstrates collective ideology. The village shares literally everything, even emotional expression. The elderly are sacrificed for the collective whole and even reproduction is regulated communally. Grounding collectivism in the primitive and irrational is a particularly Randian touch, as is connecting sexual impotency to collectivism. In Atlas Shrugged, Rand argues that a weak person or a collectivist can neither give nor receive true sexual pleasure. The village's corruption of the sex act follows this, as is Mark's susceptibility to that corruption. I did detect something of an anti-socialist current throughout Midsommar, at first. Mostly because it was a whole movie of "lol look how weird these Swedes are". But then I came to the conclusion that it wasn't a denunciation of socialism, so much as an attempt to use extreme images of collectivist behavior to terrify an audience of insular millennial narcissists. I know next to nothing about Ayn Rand, but I don't think Ari Aster is working from an objectivist perspective so much as he's working from the same classic Greek sort of perspective that Rand herself probably worked from. A lot of what you point out about his movies' sexual politics is by no means exclusive to Ayn Rand.

My understanding is that their society was just another form of extreme codependence, that Aster just wanted her to go from one toxic codependent relationship (her boyfriend) to a more exotic one, and that he probably just worked backwards from what that could look like while also squeezing in gross poo poo like a blood eagle.

I tried to watch The Social Network for maybe the hallf-dozenth time since it went on Netflix. I never make it through the first 10 minutes. Once again, I tried to today and just had to turn the loving thing off at about the 9-minute-mark because it's just too loving aggravating to watch. I think it's because I was more or less the same age as those guys, lived in the same region, and would have gone to an Ivy League school at about the same time if I hadn't had a mental breakdown and dropped out of my expensive prep school (and much of civilized society) in my senior year in 2002. Watching the first 10 minutes of that film just takes me back to that time period back in 2004 when I tried to sign up for Facebook because it was the cool awesome new thing all my friends were doing, and couldn't because I didn't have a .edu e-mail address, loving elitist pricks. I still hold a grudge against the goddamn site for that. So yeah, I just cannot sit through that loving movie. Makes me feel like a rejected teenager every single time I try,

If you can ever get past that then it sounds like the movie is, in fact, for you. The whole thing is a condemnation of Zuckerberg and his worldview.
