JOKER: Folie à Deux (2024) dir. Todd Phillips

I personally choose to believe that the Hunger Games series is supposed to be Katniss's memoir/way of setting the record straight about her and her loved ones part in the Games/war. Meaning I think the entire country of New Panem was going into a FIT with every new chapter they read, let alone book. Just imagine the podcasts for a second.

"SO THE STAR-CROSSED LOVERS OF DISTRICT 12."

"YEAH."

"FATED SOULMATES."

"DESTINED TO BE TOGETHER."

"Role model for all of our relationships, I think it's safe to say."

"Mmhmm."

"It was a SURVIVAL STRAT????"

That baby reveal??? Had the country in SHAMBLES when they realized Peeta was lying. Her editors probably told her to just keep that out and she probably just said "why?? I have actual kids now, it's fine." The tabloids are blowing clear the fuck up all day every day. Peeta's hijacking??? People already knew but they didn't know EVERYTHING. God, those podcasts were LIT.

wille 🩷 S3 ep 6

Amanda Bynes isn't required to talk about her trauma working with Nickelodeon. Try not stalking and harassing a victim of childhood trauma because you think you're entitled to the rest of the story.

also stop commenting on her videos that's she's ugly and unrecognizable now tyvm.

at the end of the fourth episode on quiet on set, it releases a statement by dan schneider who said, "everything that happened on the shows i ran was carefully scrutinized by dozens of involved adults. all stories, dialogue, costumes and makeup were fully approved by network executives on two coasts, etc, etc." i guess he put that statement out to try and spin this narrative so that it doesn't sound so absolutely horrific, but all it does is highlight the fact that damn near every single adult knew. they knew and did nothing. dan was able to take advantage of these defenseless children and allow other predators to prey on them and not a single adult raised hell about it. he was able to do this for years, completely unscathed, and nickelodeon offered him a huge amount of money in order to drop him from the network. the sadness and rage i feel CANNOT be put into words.

Jerry Trainor apparently looked out for his costars

stop asking former nick stars what their thoughts are on the doc. Stop saying that the only reason they aren't saying anything is because they took hush money.

Like what if something did happen to them? It's none of your fucking business. You don't want to make sure they're okay, you're just nosey as fuck now and think you're entitled to their story

In Hollywood you can work on a tv show with kids all day, be arrested for your confession of torturing/sodomizing a kid for a period of 6 months, get 16 months in jail and go back to work for Disney right after despite being a registered sex offender. The lack of justice and accountability gone unchecked is so unbelievably sick.

fucking weird of yall to demand these child actors to speak up publicly about everything that happened on those sets. not a God damn one of them owes us anything and does not need to say anything. Leave Josh alone. He spoke to Drake in private. he was also a damn kid on those sets. I've heard about the bullying and fat shaming he had. literally leave them alone fucking weirdos

and while I'm at it LEAVE AMANDA ALONE TOO

ykw i will never complain about an actor not looking the right age for their teen character again sure this "high schooler" may look like he has a mortgage but it's one less child in hollywood and that's a win

If a physician of high standing, and one’s own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency—what is one to do?

John does not know how much I really suffer. He knows there is no REASON to suffer, and that satisfies him.

- The Yellow Wallpaper | Charlotte Perkins Gilman

I finally got around to fulfilling my Gothic duty and reading The Yellow Wallpaper and agskecvhwk holy fuck I love it. The decent into madness, the layers upon layers of metaphors, the fact that this story changed an entire generation's use of a medical practice???

If y'all were also failed in public school and didn't read it, PLEASE do yourself the favor. It's only ten pages.

Hysteria, am I right??

‘It is the strangest yellow, that wallpaper! It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw – not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow things.’

…

It really looks like I bought an iPad.

It’s probably a life-changing event just for me, but I don’t know if I ever spent so much money on something; even my Canon camera only costs half as much as this money-grabbing apple with all the accessories. x,) …But it’s really good. I understand the hype; the apple-pen is just amazing. And I had never used different brushes before. I had my 2-3 go to ones in Sai (mainly airbrush ones), but Procreate is next level.

…

So, as a test, I made an illustration for The Yellow Wallpaper short story written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. This was a buddy reading story back in October (…so I read it in the middle of May), but I have to leave it M. was absolutely right, I loved it. *-* I’m usually not a very good match with old horror short stories, I hardly find them scary enough. But even if I wouldn’t call this particularly scary, it’s certainly thought-provoking, and I love those things that can stay in my brain for weeks.

If anyone hasn’t read it yet, I can highly recommend it. ;)

Gothic fiction is when there is an old mansion, that's it

When I say I want adaptations of my favourite books, I don't mean the Netflix/Disney/Amazon bullshit we have been getting.

I want a mid-budget 90s style indie movie version of The Secret History. I want a 2010s cheap looking AFTG show. I want short films based on Assembly or The Yellow Wallpaper. I want officially filmed Broadway musicals and plays. I want abstract movies based on poetry collections.

I want the people who are adapting these text to think about the style and the format and the story and how to connect these three elements into the best it can be, not into something that will make the most money.
