  • There’s actually quite a lot that’s changed in cinema since then. Since digital cameras and effects are incredibly common these days, we light everything very flatly so that it’s easier to change in post without reshoots. It makes lighting abysmally bad. (See wicked where the actress in vibrant green makeup looks a little grey the entire movie).

    Pacing is also much faster, there’s more emphasis on not confusing audiences rather than letting things have mystery. Dialogue is more quippy rather than grounded.

    Oh! And since there’s no more mid-budget movies, there’s a whole lot less comedies running around. Everything is either high budget, wall-to-wall action or grounded indie films with very little in-between.





  • Yeah, we’ve already fallen off the cliff. Might as well throw away our parachute and survival equipment. We’re gonna die anyways! /s

    Giving the dictator what he wants isn’t a good idea. All it does is normalize his power and legitimize his authority. He’s a paper dictator, at best, and needs to stay that way. Every resistance from every source is needed for a long as possible.

    Calling me a coward while saying that news orgs should face “consequences” so they resist the dictator is hilarious.


  • It’s like you don’t even hear yourself. You act like your advocating for consequences, but these aren’t consequences. This is the next step to a totalitarian dictatorship.

    Consequences is ABC being sued by people for a sizable portion of their profits for capitulation. Consequences are boycotts, protests, continuous bad press, a break up of their monopoly. Things that make it clear that we the people aren’t happy with people playing ball with a wannabe dictator.

    Consequences aren’t losing your license because glorious leader doesn’t like what you’re saying. All that does is tell the other news orgs to shut the fuck up about Trump or also lose your licenses. It further pushes companies towards becoming tools of the fascist regime. A thing that has happened many other times in other countries throughout history. In-fucking-cluding here (see McCarthyism).

    You’re being an idiot wanting to see pain regardless of from where, without thinking through what the fuck will happen because of it.
