Secret Project 1 ||The narrator in the story is a character within the cosmere||
Secret project 1 || a character we have already come across? ||
hay españoles aqui?
o ok

||There aren't many characters to choose from to become narrators of a story in the cosmere but yea|| Secret project 1
audibly crying
Nah this is fine i don't remember the exact names and stuff so i wouldnt be able to guess it anyways unless it was already a well established character
I know nothing about the book except the title lol
Which I found out 2 days ago
OB end || Wilt told me OB ended with the battle of thaylen and I had to ask if that was the battle with the thrill
||
OB end ||Yea it was ||
Yeah ik just saying secret project 1 || the name tress doesn't ring any bells without more context
||
If you read a snippet of it you'd love the writing style so much i think
Secret project 1 || is it a pirate story? ||
||Yea I think, haven't gotten to it yet|| secret project 1
Wild guess purely based on title lol
It has gems such as (secret project 1:
||The place was so inhospitable, even the smog found it depressing.||
But yea aka, basically imagine (Stormlight / secret project 1) ||The girl who stood up story from oathbringer, but it was a whole novel||
This is unlike any other Ghostface. Watch the NEW trailer for #ScreamVI - Only in theatres March 10, 2023.
Following the latest Ghostface killings, the four survivors leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter. In Scream VI, Melissa Barrera (“Sam Carpenter”), Jasmin Savoy Brown (“Mindy Meeks-Martin”), Mason Gooding (“Chad Meeks-Martin”), ...

Watching the last of us and there are really are a few scenes where it really feels like you’re just immersed in a video game.
some of the scenes are quite literally the exact same as in the videogame
its awesome
Have to pause it for now cause I have an errand to run but
The last of us episode 1 ||it’s pretty solid thus far. I watched my roommate play the game in like 2016 so most of the story has faded me for by now, other than I knew his daughter was gonna die. The suspense building was great leading to the outbreak. Pretty much everything from the car driving to when his daughter gets shot really felt like an immersive video game experience like, the cop car running into their upside car and blocking the way was 100% video game cheese

First look at Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman in the ‘BREAKING BAD’ PopCorners ad for the Super Bowl.

looks good
scream franchise still putting out bangers
love to see it
Nice
deleted message!
Why did he delete that
idk what was deleted
A tweet that says that Mark Hamill won't be Joker anymore because Kevin Conroy isn't Batman anymore
Sad stuff

Wasn't the last time Hamill voiced the Joker for the killing joke movie?
Yeah
i dont understand why
that 90s show first episode (and kind of that 70s spoilers I guess) || just watched the first episode because the original show was really good and wanted to see what it would be. It was fun seeing everyone again, specially red and kitty who are as funny as ever. I enjoyed the jokes and callbacks from the old crew but honestly the new kids group don't seem as good as the original, they made me cringe more than laugh except maybe the mini kelso who looks like he has potential. will go watch the second episode ||

I just finished reading Neuromancer ||and jesus christ this felt like a fever dream. Probably one of the hardest books I've ever read, I still don't know most of the stuff that happened. The ending is quite poetic but still wth||

i cant express why i'm so excited for this upcoming one and the next
no episode
this week
instead we have one next week
but didn't they say they were doing a watch party?
its 9PM pacific release for you guys
like last year
hey harsh did you hear robbie was cast for oden's dub lol

laura bailey is conis and some others apparently
oh probably
if there's a dub theres laura bailey somewhere
but damn waking up to that news in my inbox was greaaat
i was already wondering who was gonna voice my GOAT
oden 
sam, liam and ashley didnt play OP characters
ok that tracks
these bunch of nerdy voice actors have come far, alongside exandria
ashley doesn't do a lot of anime VO though right?
yeah she doesnt
mostly western movies, tv and games, both live action and voice over
its mainly robbie and matthew in more recent projects, havent seen travis and laura catch new big roles
correct me if im wrong
I don't follow dubs that often so idk
but travis is also busy being CEO of critical role
yeah thats primarily why
all of them handle a variety of roles in CR
marisha is the creative director (in charge of all the programming and content), matt is the chief creative officer (lorekeeper and primary focus is to maintain exandria)
laura does merch stuff right?
yeah
liam is the comic book man, taliesin is novel/books (darrington press), ashley is the CEO of the CR foundation
sam is the media and advertising in-charge
so yeah they have their roles plus the main show playing dnd and also voicing and being the producers on vox machina show
I just listened to Chimes of Midnight
that was awesome. Paul McGann has a great voice
Do you know him from DW too
I heard his Big finish audios are awesome
I haven’t seen the movie
That’s the first content with him in it I’ve seen
It was really good, that’s my first audio drama
Nice
Listened to my first audio drama like 40 days ago
They are kinda hard to listen to tho, because they are not on PC mostly
But yea Paul McGann's voice is awesome
I always associate him with Indiana Jones for some reason
why
I actually have no clue ahah
he's great in withnail and i, the straight man to richard e grant's madness
I think it's because of his clothing in Night of the Doctor
Night of the doctor
How are you liking it? I’m like 10 minutes into the show and think it’s god awful lol
what show
that 70s show itself was cringey
I was recently rewatching that 70s show and yeah it's cringey
I just always assumed it was cringey because remembering the 70s is cringe lol
oh, its not a chuck lorre show
huh
its so similar to what he did that i was under the assumption
yeah
😭
So wholesome
I loved that 70s show so I’m happy to see some of the old characters from the show but the new cast is bad. I’ve watched about 4 episodes and honestly I just enjoy the scenes with ||kitty and red||
Dropped Unhewn Throne after half of the first book
Unhewn Throne 1 super generic spoiler || Author killed my favourite character offscreen :/ and I don't really like the other characters all that much ||
It's average and it's only supposed to go downhill from what I read in the reviews
So fuck it
Lemme rec you one
Man i am craving some assassin/black ops shit but not in a super grimdark world
Or at least like even if it's grim it has to let me hold hope
Like idk farseer is pretty grim but it never lets you lose hope
But then it's an unreal standard to set so

Something like blacklist? I don’t really watch that type of shows so can’t really help you there mate
Assassin/blackops within fantasy novel series

I am a spoilt brat

Poppy war would be great if it wasn't so mercilessly brutal tbh
That fantasy series which is just a erotica disguised as one
I heard its about assassins
Huh?
Throne of Glass series

I have read 2.5 books in that series which is 2.3 more than i should have
But hey, horny reading mood lowers standards a lot
What’s horny reading mood
When you are horny and crave for horny scenes
Tho really throne of glass is nothing compared to her adult fantasy
That shit is literally erotica set in a fantasy world, doesn't even have a semblance of a story
At least throne of glass pretends to be YA high fantasy
Lmao
Oh I thought you got horny reading novels
I thought novels in general
Put Black Company in that wheel
And bruh because throne of glass established her as a mainstream YA fantasy author all her books end up on the teenage target demographic shelves in India
It's a fkn tragedy lol
Lmaoo
I have that shit next to like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson
What’s throne of glass??
A new bookstore here had CSM in Kid's section with that cover next to displayed lmao
The first series of the author with the ero fantasy
That series really blew up
So now Indian bookstores just put all her books in YA section
.
Comics are for kids tho /s
Oh
Isn't super dark and depressing tho
Not all of them
Not that. It was alongside shit like Pooh The Bear sort of stuff 
I have always heard it in the same breath as GoT and that is definitely not what I am looking for
It has assassins....
Yeah i get that
But like
Isn't the whole world and everything dank and depressing
It depends on the type of assassins
Honestly
It has chainsaws
Like assassination classroom has assassins
So does a book about lumberjacks
People should just thrown in some light romance in heavy assassin centric novels
Ye... It's credited to be the pioneer of grimdark... 
I have found that helps lighten the mood a lot
Like notrevolve the whole story around it
But a bit of banter and some fun, light moments really make my day
Yeah and that's why it's not on the wheel
Dragon Republic is only there cz i already read a book 
Man I love how active this dude is/was on reddit
His series is one of my favourites and finding him commenting on random reddit posts about his books just gives such good vibes lol
Have seen him do this on dozens of posts lol

The /s means satire, much like /j
For joking
/srs is the serious tag
Oh sorry
Must have been something I didn’t know about
Yeah it's relatively new I recall
It's just so people know how you mean when talking through text
Dr who s13 || aint no way she decided to travel the WORLD with the creepy stalker dude on their FIRST DATE ||
|| she’s gonna end up in a storage unit wtf ||
lul
Season finale was awesome, although i dont think the villain should come back in the second season
legend of vox machina season 2 is off to a phenomenal start, they did so well adapting all they had to
RTD on Graham Norton tonight
epic
Also looks like psychological horror episode for next DW season, those are the best RTD ones ahhh
can't wait

I can't believe there is a place called Frederick Place and I'm not in it

😭
Ye cuz you are federick not Frederick
🙂
boooo
So I've been having difficulty finding something for a while now. It was a music video or short film of some kind, made to tie in with a horror film with a name similar to Quarentine or Biohazard. It featured a couple of people being chased into a warehouse by a horde of zombies, and as the warehouse begins to fill they try to climb higher and higher onto piping and scaffolding. Eventually one of them runs out of stamina to hold on and falls, while the video ends with the other survivor's piping beginning to break from their weight. I know at least one of them was a woman. The music was modern rock, heavy metal iirc. It can't be that hard to find, it was on the DVD release of the film as a bonus feature, but now I can't remember the name of either of them.
uh
have you tried asking on reddit
No, those guys often ignore me whenever I wanna talk lost media.
ask in r/tipofmytongue
I sent in their discord, but I'll post it in there once I get to my PC
that sub has helped me a couple of times so hope you get your answer there too
@modern lichen what do you think of that
oh i liked it, i really like the comic as well
Its out? Hell yea
Puss in boots 2 was great
took a lot of inspiration from spiderverse with the animation
Puss in boots 2 || death was really cool ||

i still need to watch s1 lmfao
when i get around to rewatching c1 and c2 il watch it

I read the entire Invincible comics and it's a masterpiece, this is going to be top tier
No dice on TomT, they gave me a list of wikipedia articles but none of them had anything even remotely similar
Invincible 
try to remember in what years it was posted
i think that'd help
Puss in Boots vs Avatar

👎
Only first 2 eps on rewatch

Got distracted with some other stuff
Also heard vox machina is back now
lemme know when you watch that too
Does that streaming site you gave me have it?
there you go
scroll down and toggle to season 2
Good
this is what you get when the creators truly love what they're creating
started off as a dnd campaign livestream and that first campaign itself is being animated on this level
must be crazy for the cast of critical role
Man that animation is 
How to deal with a tiktok using mom that called the last of us boring because it || had too little zombie action in the first episode ||
my mother in blood the lore is important
your mom?
Which would you recommend first?
yes my mom
uh...
her attention span is so alarming
well, if she's not vibing with it, i would suggest not bothering with the show further
start with the first 3 grizz
she liked it but she definitely complained during every calm scene
I'll do that when I have the opportunity, I do see some recurring authors
hm
my mom thrives on watching c-dramas and k-dramas
she was obsessed with turkish soaps before
that's a very niche preference


@undone junco let me know whenever you watch ep 6
hype af
Puss in boots 2 movie was way more enjoyable than avamidtar 2
my local cinemas had way more people for puss in boots than avatar 2 unironically
I watched puss in boots 2 with my fam and they went to watch avatar 2 the next day, I didn't go but they said it was better than puss in boots
Unfortunately I had to execute them on the spot for that
unfortunately they were right
Avatar 2 was like Avatar 1, that being forgettable if not for the theater experience
🚶
avatar 1 was better
but maybe its my child memory
anyways puss in boots is ultimately better its a fantastic movie
Bro fighting the lonely fight
might go see it tomorrow
why is that in western series lol
PUSS IN BOOTS IS THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME
@sonic tree is that you
love cunk
not even the ratings agreeing with u
damn i form my own opinions
finished first reformed (2017)
was that part at the end ||where he makes out with mary just a dream?||
weird and depressing movie
he almost ||does go full travis bickle||
i guess paul schrader likes this kind of story lmao
thats kinda his whole thing
Dr who s13 || legend of the sea devils was so bad I feel like the script was ripped into pieces and then someone tried to fish as many of them out of the trash and possible and glue them back together ||
|| i liked the setting and costumes though, refreshing. I’m tired hallways ||
Man I love that shit
The delivery, the accent, it's just so good
Yup

#DoctorWho #BAFTAScotAwards #PeterCapaldi
Also yea the editing is super bad
But there were some issues with broadcast so cant blame chris
only one special left, then maybe i'll watch some classic episodes i think
or start torchwood
Together on Graham’s sofa tonight: Hollywood star Michelle Williams talking about her starring role in the latest Steven Spielberg film The Fabelmans; actor Helena Bonham Carter and writer Russell T Davies discussing their latest project Nolly, about the life of Crossroads star Noele Gordon; Strictly star Oti Mabuse chatting about the new series...

hmm
Definitely nostalgia
Also yeah Puss in Boots 2 is much better
just finished watching Funny Games (2007) , i knew about it long ago but refrained from watching cause uh...yeah...and i felt like i was ready now...nope still wasnt ready
crazy ass movie
i need a cold shower and a cat video
yeah...
Funny Games ||fucked up part is this might probably be how home invasions go irl, well at least when serial killers or something are involved...i watched too many true crime podcasts lol||
well made movie but one of those you watch once and never again for the rest of your life
why are all the responses people talking to chatgpt
yeah what the fuck
would of loved a long conversation between these two, like variety's directors on directors
true true
What they tryna say @wooden swift the count of monte cristo
I’ll have to watch it, I just saw the name and had to ask cunk about it
I...think that's telegraph?
yoooo let em cook
that was a great discussion yep
I just finished watching the owl house
And oh boy ||I did not expect such good story telling for a kids show, makes me think of atla|| owl house sz2 ending
It's dry humor so might not be everyone's cup of tea tho
But I just find something really funny in it
the name itself is funni enough for me
well here is a problem, I have finished s3 already
doctor who s3e10 || this is what the kids call "rizz"||
speaking of ep10, yes it was absolutely perfect
moffat can do no wrong
but thats not what I have been told
moffat wrote good one off episodes
well he has written pretty great endings to every episode he wrote
Nu
every episode is just so perfect, cant imagine he just gets CTE while writing a whole season
S8 and S10 are great
also, question
idk about dr who much, matt smith's era also has some episodes i like but other than that eh
Far from floundering
Only S7 and S9 are complete flounders
what seasons did he run again, let me see
9 is good
1 ep
Nay
S9 || i really like the davros 2 parter ||
|| and face the raven is pretty decent too ||
Doctor who S9 ||It is worse the more I think about it||
||ruined by hell bent||
S9 || although the sleep monsters almost singlehandedly ruin the season ||
doctor who classic || what exactly does the old show cover? Is he still the last of the time lords in the show or does it cover pre 2005 events like the time war and all, at some points I cant help but feel like I am missing some context here||
Doctor who classic ||The time war is an offscreen event, entirely done by the revival ||
ah
Doctor who classic ||Gallifrey is a big part of the old show, like a recurring location||
Btw Arsal what did you think of the continuity between Torchwood S1 and Doctor who S3 👀
Torchwood S1 / Doctor who S3 ||In the background of the torchwood episodes, you can see the "Vote Saxon" stuff for instance, it is super cool how connected it is imo||
doctor who classic/ series 3 || i asked btw because felt that way with The Master lol, felt like I was supposed to know him already well enough lol||
yea that was neat
Doctor who classic / series 3 ||The dynamics between the Master and the Doctor change constantly, like sometimes he is the Doctor's best friend (because of the on-screen chemistry between Jon Pertwee (third doctor) and Roger Delgado (first master), who were actually really great friends irl), other times he is basically a moustache-twirling villain lol ||
doctor who classic/series 3 || like I was supposed to think of the master when jack(???) tells the doctor that he wasnt alone, but I guess if the classic show happens before the time war while Gallifrey is still fine then I must just be imagining that lol||
ah
|| well doesn't seem like I do miss much then if this master has a different relation with the doctor||
||RTD kinda wrote John Simm as a super cheesy version of the master, he was nowhere as ridicolous in the classic stuff lol||
doctor who series 3|| thought he was really entertaining, not really super sure how he really got defeated but I guess its just supposed to work somehow ( I dont think words do that even if thought by 6 billion people)||
Doctor who series 3 ||The archangel network is a telepathy field, that's what gave the powers basically||
||I think it's well foreshadowed, the visuals are just very cheesy lol||
Oh and btw
Doctor who series 3 ||You liked Human nature/ family of blood? 👀 ||
doctor who series 3 || I know, just saying that it was still very stupid how that worked lol, there were definitely hints that the show went out of its way to highlight again right at the moment like the conversation Martha had with those people||
yup, my fav two parter in Series so far
btw @glacial jetty Series 14 filming || https://twitter.com/set_dw/status/1616722915990315013 ||
#dwsr An extra video from yesterday's filming. Ruby running after the taxi and left distressed in the street.
328
speaking of that, one cool thing about watching an old show is seeing some of these actors in their early days lol
like thomas santner and Andrew garfield this season
yep
idk who thomas santner is tho
Tennant was relatively unknown before doctor who too
doctor who s3 || the kid who hid the watch||
ah
in the two parter
he voices ferb from phineas and ferb and is some guy in queen's gambit
was neat to see him here before(?) he was in Phineas and ferb lol
Oh nice, didn't know
but anyways, gonna watch series 4 now, || have these two specials in the download, time crash and voyage of the damned ||
in that order
||i think time crash is after voyage but it doesn't really matter||
And now, Here’s an iconic moment between John Barrowman and David Tennant during The Second Series of CBBC’s Totally Doctor Who back in 2007, Enjoy! 😊
#TotallyDoctorWho #DoctorWho #CBBC

@modern lichen im finally getting round to watching vox machina

Season 2?
Shit yeah season 1 has a pretty insane start lol
They're all great, especially now that these are the characters that they have created from scratch, just extra easy for them to sound compelling when voicing them

Harsh I watched the first 3 episodes of season 2 last night
Was expressly created intentionally to be the worst but he went a long way with that character
Oh is the entirety of s2 out already
Just 3 episodes
They release 3 a week
Lance Reddick doing work too
Dont know him
Nope
What about the recent shitty resident evil show on Netflix
No rofl

Then yeah you've probably never seen him
Wait have you played destiny 2?
Or destiny 1
Ok now you've definitely never seen or heard him lmao
Rewatched the matrix
Perfect film i might have to reconsider my hot take about the sequels
is your hot take that they're good?
That theyre better
My tiktok is full of sigma puss in boots edits
Good
oh phew you said sigma puss in boots
What did you think pastel said
my brain stopped after sigma puss
Lily Gladstone says Martin Scorsese listened to the Osage Nation on how to properly portray their people in KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON.
“It’s a different movie than the one he walked in to make almost entirely because of what the community had to say about how it was being made”
3441
232
Bruh
god of cinema
yes im dickriding

Yeah this is good news
What’s the movie even about?
true-story period drama seems like
Something about a murder on a native American reserve I think
It's a western I think I heard

be quiet
Bro just appears whenever someone mentions scorsese
That's what you get for mentioning hacks
No one mentioned Dr who
Dr who is fictional, thus can't be a hack
lol calling scorsese a hack is crazy
He is the director most dedicated to preserving and prolonging film as an art form
uhuh
uhuh
"Why people do not want me to make my 3 hour boring-ass movie with unnecessary deaging effects every second 😭 "
"This industry is clearly falling off! They'd rather make Marvel!!!"
I'm just like: Bitch, do you know how many people do NOT EVEN make one movie
God I hate people like that
"Wow I'm slightly less privileged :("
So yea thank god he is preserving film as an art form 🤡
You made me go on an angry rant on scorcese again ugh
This sounds like the punchline of a joke
i like marvel movies, their fans pay for me to have more D+ content
appreciate you 🥰
I've never seen a marvel movie in my life
so I'm sorry there ain't any punching bag for you
unsure what you mean but that's a neat achievement
You thought I was a Marvel fan who got butthurt at Scorcese saying Marvel movies aren't cinema, didn't you
hmm, this doesn't seem like a positive interaction, be safe mate. keep smiling 🙂
Me pointing out a virtual punching down isn't a positive interaction 🤔
he wasn't making fun of you
he was saying marvel movies bring in money and fund disney + shows so he appreciates marvel movies
Ok but
its cinema

...ok
Fed, I doubt you watched any other Scorsese movies and are only complaining about The Irishman because that's the only thing you can waffle about
havent seen the irishman but
good directors take risks
if you dont like apocalypse now
its a waste of money
Fine
Ok
Thats not why i said its a waste of money
Don't mind this dude's Scorsese takes, he only sticks to complaining about The Irishman
Yeah it's stupid but eh, you can learn to ignore him
The money waste comes from the fact he had to hire the same 3 famous actors despite literally being 90 years older than their own characters
Anyone who says something negative about Scorsese and then showers love on something like Dr Who is obviously in dire need of a taste test
Most of his movies in the 2000s and 2010s haven't even had much of De Niro, Pacino or Pesci you goof
I am talking about the irishman
If anything he has mostly consistently worked with DiCaprio
Your complaints make no fuckin sense
dicaprio and deniro roughly equally im guessing
while I don't agree with fed on his takes on scorsese and his movies, there's nothing wrong with prefering dr who or whatever over it. People don't all have to like the same things
It's his choice, he wants to have the actors go through the entire journey and it still works well
I dont remember dicaprio playing an italian gangster 3 times
directors usually hire actors they are familiar with so they can, yknow, direct them better
Or he is just being an elitist prick -- more likely
as long as the movie makes money in the end who cares if you hire high paid actors
He had troubles getting the movie financed because of the huge budget
Scorsese is far from elitist, you have no basis for your complaining other than The Irishman employing De Niro I guess
he did in the end
I don't understand your problem
Yea netflix
Then kept saying to not watch on netflix after

What a prick
He never said that
He said to watch in cinemas
like most old people
He said he negotiated with Netflix to have a theatrical release first
has a distaste for streaming
He doesn't
He does
Otherwise it wouldn't be on Netflix
LOL
I swear people comment on shit they don't know about
He wanted a fuckin cinematic release first
hulu and netflix and stuff
"Otherwise it wouldn't be on Netflix" what a load of bs
That was his stipulation with Netflix
It was the condition which Netflix agreed to, it went on the festival circuit and got a theatrical release
i dont blame him
He clearly had to accept it because nobody else wanted his shittyass movie
Its a middle ground
I don't think you watched any other movie of his
like he invented the concept or smth
I did not say that
He just acts like a spoiled child
what's wrong with compromises?
Idk what the problem is lmao, many film makers are coming around, even begrudgingly to streaming services after cinematic release
Do you know how many people literally never get accepted a movie?
You don't have a single fuckin ounce of information as to how he behaves and you're going for personal attacks
agriculture, industry
People arent gonna like it
because its bad for those people
but the only way of progress in the long run
Scorsese faced difficulty getting this movie released even after his reputation came along, so your tantrum makes no sense here
And scorcese instead of cutting down the budget like every other director that is not rich, doubles down in having 90 year olds playing 20 year olds
Why the fuck do you care about the budget so much
I don't understand what you're waffling about
I care about his elitism
He's not elitist
He is
Where was he acting like that
No, please provide a source or just admit you're wrong
You're just making points out of your own flawed conjecture
Saying "he is elitist" doesn't prove that he is
When has he ever stood up for actual inspiring directors instead of complaining about marvel movies getting made?
You're just talking out of your ass
Scorsese is a legend who's done more for film than nearly anybody even outside the movies he's made. Like the amount of work he's done to preserve films that would just be left to rot is insane
When has he not
Probably plenty of times
?
Show me once
No
Given filmmakers opportunity to make movies
So run a charity?
Helping them achieve them
Like god, what do you want from this man
He promoted The Favourite, he promoted Greta Gerwig, tacitly gave his promotion to Tar that came out recently
when have you helped people achieve their dreams
Now this is just shit you're pulling out of your ass
How does this make a difference
people have no obligation to do charity
they dont
that doesn't make you a bad person or an elitist
But dont throw a tantrum whenever your shitty ass movie gets rejected
What the fuck are you talking about my guy
When literally hundreds of people never get to make one
Literally pulling shit out of your ass to prove some non existent point
this is just such an arbitrary gripe
Its not arbitrary
Scorsese has done more for cinema as a medium than nearly all of the marvel movies. Like the man has non profits just to preserve some random Iraninan movie no one ever watched because of how much he loves cinema
He restored and championed Satyajit Rays films entirely, which were lost to the world due to a fire
"no one gives me millions of dollars to make a movie, so why does he get to not only have those millions of dollars, but have the gall to presume he has LEVERAGE over his funding?"
am i misconstruing your gripe
He has promoted Asghar Farhadi
He has promoted Indian filmmakers, lost to time, like Ritwik Ghatak
He has promoted and restored African films
Ok
scorsese is
"a person who believes that a society or system should be led by an elite."
lets prove this
He founded film restoration projects and non profits specifically to rescue valuable films
"I made this super expensive movie and nobody wants to buy it despite marvel movies not facing any issues getting made, this industry has fallen off" when some non-hollywood director would just agree to cut down the price considerably just to make the movie
Be fair that’s obviously not the definition being used
like it or not, 159 million dollars is a pretty normal budget for a blockbuster
Also I hate charity, it's corrupt 90% of the time
Come the fuck on
if i were buying something from walmart
159 million usd would be pretty expensive
that i concede
Either you provide your source for this or you just admit you're pulling shit out of your ass
It was 250 million afaik
Ffs, link
"Acclaimed director Martin Scorsese tried for years to make The Irishman, but he struggled to find a home for it at a traditional studio before it eventually landed at Netflix. One of the reasons why, it seems, is that the budget for the film was astronomical. A new story from The Hollywood Reporter claims that The Irishman carried a budget of more than $225 million, which makes it one of the most expensive movies in history."
No but it has been proven that Scorsese has been one of the greatest champions of cinema and one of the most acclaimed directors of all time
He is elitist in no way at all
Idc, not my point
You don't have one
He is elitist man
You're just saying shit for the sake of saying it
I wouldn't call scorsese elitist
He's not allowed to lament the state of the industry because he doesn't play the game?
A great filmmaker who has made many great films even before The Irishman
I mean im just gonna assume you think he has no artistic integrity, so that would make him your average joe or something
and therefore
Literally made a film called Silence on a minimal budget before it
And he has only championed films by up and coming filmmakers and preserving old movies for posterity
He clearly has leverage and got away with it, when so many aspiring directors dont even get to complain
"get to complain" what does this mean
HE HAS EXECUTIVE PRODUCED SO MANY NEW FILMMAKERS WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT
Once again, I'm not referring to publicity
It's putting money in their films through other channels
Literally financing the movies
if you think someone has no integrity as a human being, then any charitable thing they do is for publicity
that is just
confirmation
bias!
Isnt that what normal producers do
My god you're dense
Executive producers oversee production afaik
Nope
Executive producer (EP) is one of the top positions in the making of a commercial entertainment product. Depending on the medium, the executive producer may be concerned with management accounting or associated with legal issues (like copyrights or royalties). In films, the executive producer generally contributes to the film's budget and their ...
They have various roles depending on how they act on the film but they for the most part work on the finances and manage the accounting and production affairs alongside the producer
LITERALLY LOOK AT THIS LIST
If you remember, last March I posted a story including a diary from the set of Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island written by Argentinean filmmaker Celine Murga as she was able to observe the whole of the entire shot as a laureate of the 2008 Rolex Mentor and Protege Arts Initiative. Now Scorsese is taking Celina […]
Martin Scorsese. Director: Taxi Driver. Martin Charles Scorsese was born on November 17, 1942 in Queens, New York City, to Catherine Scorsese (née Cappa) and Charles Scorsese, who both worked in Manhattan's garment district, and whose families both came from Palermo, Sicily. He was raised in the neighborhood of Little Italy, which later provided...
Peter capaldi was literally approached by so many people, and actually lends a hand to new filmmakers. There are so many stories of him reading people's scripts and giving feedback purely to help them (this is stuff he never actually mentioned publically)
wdym "nope"
Nevermind
I have a point, you just dont want to accept the hollywood boomer is actually an hollywood boomer 😭
solid argument
Oh my fuckin god
You have no fuckin evidence for what you're claiming and spewed so much bullshit here
And we're wrong for actually posting sources
I have the evidence, as i posted
To prove something that you're claiming entirely wronh
which was?
You have posted nothing
he posted that bit about the budget
being higher for advertising costs
which
i dont claim to know
Look at the producing credits he has, I linked the IMDb page for reference
but perhaps other movies do that too?
The irishman has one of the biggest budgets ever, and he complained about the industry not making it
like thats just completely in a vacuum
He has produced 80 movies so far
And he's producing 12 more upcoming movies
LIKE
Yes, yes. Complained he did. Tried to use his leverage
COME ON NOW
If he doesn't use his leverage
then he doesn't get the movie made
So
I guess he should give up
ok so he had an idea for a movie with a high budget and waited to have a big company to fund it. and your point is he should have folded and done a shitter movie because other people have to do so as well
Bullshit ass complaint
With no basis
And then when proven wrong - "yeah bro you can't see he's a boomer hehe"
The idea isnt expensive
What a load of shit
There are low budget movies
and high budget movies
and processes to make them
you cant just swap them on a whim
he wanted a high budget movie got the funding for it and produced an acclaimed movie that paid off
Silence which was made before the Irishman literally had like quarter of the budget Irishman had, even less
There are movie he made on shoestring budget already lmao, like literally before The Irishman
😭
It's not like he spent 20 million on the movie itself and blew the rest on partying or some shit 🤣
A quarter of 200M isnt low harsh
yes it is actually
Everything everywhere was 22M for context
50 million dollars for a historical film is low, especially with acclaimed actors
And it bombed at the box office
50M is not low 💀
Dawg
that's just how movies cost nowadays
If he can afford acclaimed actors it literally cant be considered low harsh
And neither is EEAAO apparently
God
Fuck off
Michelle yeoh?
You're incorrigible
Hello?
Ke Huay was literally about to leave acting dude
How much do you think he was paid??
See this is just bullshit
anyway ke huay wasnt like
too recognizable
irrelevant
Michelle yeoh and jamie lee curtis
Ke came back because the Daniels came for him
Two very established actors
The Daniels specifically cast Ke for the role
And ke was about to leave acting
My statement remains true
He was encouraged by Crazy Rich Asians
And he then waited for meaty roles
Eventually he was asked by the Daniels
And now he's back
You've got your facts wrong
He waited for 30 years for a good role
Meanwhile he worked behind the camera for a while
As a production assistant and such once he graduated from film school
Again, totally irrelevant
Either way, 50M is still not low budget
Neither is EEAAO really
I posted multiple articles as to Scorsese not being an elitist and you're still harping on and on about him being one and it seems now like a massive waste of time
How does talking about films they liked not make him elitist???
Because you posted like one article about some budget shit and just fuckin pulled shit out of your ass after that
talking
all he did was talk
Yep
Anyway
it seems to me like
? Are you daft? I posted his producer credits
CHECK THE LINKS ABOVE
you think its wrong for him to use his leverage to try and get his movie made
Because
uhh
hes in hollywood
and old
so
Literally what Spielberg did for West Side Story and Fabelmans
Guilt by association
Yea
how is saying you don't like a movie elitist
If your favorite director in the world pulled what scorsese did and you wouldn't call them an elitist for it, your point doesn't hold
Spielberg specifically fished for West Side Story and pitched himself as a director strictly based on his reputation
And he proved that he was the right choice for it
He leveraged his position as one of the greats when he pitched a semi auto biographical film and made The Fabelmans
How does that matter man
Sure
They have the reputation to actually pull this off and the movie proved itself to be a giant hit for Netflix
So I don't know what this shit is about
In pursuit of creating good art, he played the game to an extent
under the assumption that his movie would be played
in theaters
Pointedly complaining about a successful movie and having no basis for it is just prime entitlement
In order to preserve the art form
well, theatrical release first
as you said
and i assumed i implied but i guess not
But I'm just saying scorcese playing the victim for not getting a hugely expensive movie funded screams spoiled child to me no matter what you think
why is everything scorsese does so melodramatic to you lmao
he said he had to look for funding
For years
how is that playing victime
Yes
Literally in a Hollywood Roundtable, he talked about the process for getting the film out
Because he complained about the industry
He could previously find funding with relative ease, and since times have changed it was not easy that time around.
Yes
And nowhere there did he complain about Netflix
Exactly
Just because he takes issue with the industry
He said they were very understanding and accommodated his stipulations well
does not make him "spoiled"
Yes, ok
I agree
with that
the times changed
and did not treat him as well as it did in the past
it does not make him wrong
to take issue with the industry
and i think thats the main sticking point here
I mean he probably took issue with the industry for awhile
Even though at the time it had the room to support him
And he didn't even complain about movies being destroyed, he was taking in the context of people looking for cinematic experiences in the cinemas and how homogenized the industry has become
Yup
He has the right to complain about it
He does not
what's wrong with complaining
Some bullshit
