If anyone has any spare novelty toy skulls they want to appear in a video, PM me and I'll send you my address. I need at least a dozen of them and am poor and I'm dead serious. I need, like, a pile of them. I can't wait to explain this to my landlady. e: If there's a good toy-skull delivery service, (possibly ebay?) lemme know

Plenty of things are lying just under the surface all the time. We're trained, when having an intelligent conversation, to forget the other person shits, pisses, gets diarrhea, et cetera. In a way, all conversation is an attempt to distract yourself from thinking about your poop. At least that's how it works for me.

K. Waste posted:That's the thing, isn't it? There's this catch-22 to criticisms of the 'double standards' that exist in society with regards to censorship and so-called obscenity that obscures the more pertinent ethical dilemma that it's not even what people do or depict in particular, but the manner in which they treat other human beings fundamentally. I don't believe for a second that Donkey Punch contributed to any misogyny that wasn't already just as repulsive before it existed, but the comparison between it and Jackass makes it apparent that the double standard exists for perfectly rational reasons.

Yeah it's very 'now I'm at the top and everything doesn't look so great' when I really liked watching a madman actually win and make cool power plays. I mean it's doing it on purpose because the house of cards is falling down and that's the name of the show but I wanted more madman wins. I wanted the house to get bigger.

K. Waste posted:I've been looking through my college films, and I'm pretty much convinced I was basically the most pretentious loving kid... For my final documentary piece I was given a very arty professor type. The kind who thought koyaanisqatsi wasn't pure art enough and philip glass was too mainstream, and made one of the required viewings a two hour-long documentary called "R.R.", which was just still shots of trains going by. I made my final piece shots of a nearby caravan park, playing in slow-motion but with shots chosen so that you can't really tell, with a soundtrack that gets progressively angrier until it's ripping off Nine Inch Nails. I passed pretty good but it didn't bring me any closer to my dream of being a good film man. I just want to films good. Can anyone help me, films?

Yeah he is pretty mainstream, but hearing a documentary filmmaker say that just felt weird. We convinced him to show us his least favourite of his own films, and we all thought it was his best. It was a bbc fly-on-the-wall doc about a fashion designer who he clearly hated and vice versa. It was cool and nothing like the films he wanted us to make. My previous student films were all parodies of pretentious student films, so finishing off by making a totally nonsarcastic one was a nice change, though.

Friedpundit posted:I feel ya man. At my school you could go two routes: That's a brilliant story. My only comparable story is, me and a group had a falling out on a film, I also studied English Lit and had other courses on at times they had free, and they'd decided my not being able to turn up was me being lazy and cut me out of the creative process entirely and relegated me to carrying the kit for a short we'd devised as a team. The film was garbage and they blamed me for it, for not taking charge or giving them bad vibes or something. I'm always worried I'm difficult to work with but literally never had any problems with any other group on that level. For the next short, the groups were all shuffled anyway, but everyone else had long since realised the members of that group were basically on their own crusade and wouldn't work with others and they were stuck with each other again. The short had to be 'experimental', and they made theirs the day before that part of the course started because they had the cameras on hand and didn't feel like doing it when they were supposed to. The story here is, my next short ended up being a mockumentary about the best student film ever made, centering on making fun of how every film student at our Uni had been taught the words 'Chiaroscuro' in first year and was using it to describe everything with even-slightly contrasting colours. [link] It was about everyone killing themselves over how great this movie was, and the only way people knew how to describe it was 'it was very Chiaroscuro'. When that group screened their short film, which appeared to be about a ballerina with a condition that caused her to cry paint out of her mouth shot in extreme black and white, someone in the class immediately commented that it was 'very Chiaroscuro' and about half the room quietly giggled. It was a tiny insignificant victory but it made me feel good inside. I remember getting my marks back and the tutor had written 'this doesn't meet any of the criteria we set for an experimental film so I can't rate it very high but it was good and I liked it  .'All this talking about making stuff is making me wet in my film zone, and now I want to get to work. God wow now I need to find an old-man actor in Camberley to play someone who shoes a man with horse legs. Because that is the only project me and my guys thought we could afford to fund ourselves. ... poo poo what is a good way to do casting calls in places that don't really do craigslist?

I am okay with horror except when it teaches me new facts about the human body. Like 'oh it turns out if I get cut there, blood will fly everywhere because arteries have way high pressure in them'. My job sometimes involves using box cutters to cut boxes, and post every horror movie night I get a little more afraid of becoming a blood fountain. I actually just use my sharpest screwdriver now instead of the cutting tools. poo poo. What We Do In The Shadows is a loving comedy, and my mind is racing. I don't like being reminded that I am made of meat. The sooner I can turn myself into a thousand video tapes and just live like that, Brian O'Blivion style, I'll be set. Although I'll probably get fired for not being able to cut boxes with my metaphorical videotape form. poo poo I haven't thought this through. How am I going to afford all these tapes?

Jesus. Two huge mixups at work today: - The parts I needed to install had been mis-shipped to a depot 120 miles from the location. - When I brought this up and they agreed that was ridiculous and got an engineer living near the depot to meet me halfway with it, upon his arrival they discovered the depot had sorted it into another dimension, and the parts are just gone. So I've sat near the phone since 7:30 and not done any work.

I don't know how to feel about Serial Mom. It's very kitsch and straightforward in a way I don't like, but I feel like it does this on purpose because the perfect housewife lady goes and murders people for violating this ideal world. I was expecting a more crazy tone, but the crazy poo poo that happens in it being played the way it does is in a way kinda crazier. I'll have to see more John Waters.

I thought Serial Mom was the one with the scene of a lady yelling 'don't tell me I don't know what Vietnam was like!' but it turns out that was desperate living, which I need to see. Pink Flamingoes is probably next though. Waters is a filmmaker whose work I never saw but who I have seen a ton of interviews with and quite like his perspective on things.

Berserk owns. I have seen/read the golden age arc and stopped after getting much further but it's really fantastic stuff. It's probably the only anime/manga that truly works on every level and is willing to get pretty violent to do it without just being edgy about it. It's the sort of work that's confident enough to go 'okay, the next eighty fuckin' chapters (several times what you've seen so far) are going to be a flashback with a totally different tone that dramatically shifts everything' and I can't really think of anything else with the balls to do that. The only work ever of any kind I can compare it to is goddamn tails gets trolled.

Yeah a lot of movies like to make fun of how dumb they are and it comes off as cynical and ironic. It's the way everyone starts writing films nowadays. It's a defense mechanism. 'Being honest about what I like is hard because people might make fun of me or not like it. How do I undercut it just to have it both ways?' is a real thought I keep catching myself having when I write. I didn't think Kingsman did that though. It was pretty straightforward about hating the rich and wanting them to die. Kick rear end had problems like that though.

Baron von Eevl posted:I thought it was also very straightforward about wanting the poor to die. Really it was just a movie about how only the upper-middle class with a very certain set of social/political beliefs is ok and everyone else is poop. The movie is literally about a plot by the ultra rich to cull the masses and how this is wrong, and the film ends with literally all of the upper class dying, literally loving all of them.

It begins with Firth getting slightly irked at being called a gay, making his first attack seem like a reaction. It frames the violence as something inside us that is simply let out. It's a nice little story about learning to contain that violence within ourselves. That's why Eggsy spends a whole bunch of time getting sidetracked by trying to sort out the people in his personal life who wronged him or getting annoyed by the others mistreating him. A Kingsman agent is an expert at not reacting to this poo poo, but also not simply following orders - they function as individual 'knights of the round table' with their own agency. When Firth throws down in the pub, he does it specifically to teach people 'manners'. He's saying 'we are all animals, but we can pretend to be civilised together and maybe that's a good idea'. 'Inside,' Firth wants to shoot them up and rip their throats out, which is exactly what he does when his inhibitions are removed. Contrast with the rich people, who believe they actually are civilised people, and therefore simply more important/better than the masses.

Also note the obvious symbolism of all the rich upper class kingsman potentials choosing the safety of breathing through a toilet over actually trying to find a way out. Later, one of the same characters who made this decision will make the equally stupid decision to murder billions of people.
