Love Dismukes.  Johnson I can take or leave.  He seems to lack a comedic voice outside of doing impressions, much like Villasenor.

No hate quite like Christian love.

When I started watching X, I was disappointed by how straightforward the plot was. But it got into my head so much that I felt like watching it again, and it really connected. It’s a witty screenplay with an excellent cast, it’s well directed, and it’s mean in a specific way that horror movies can be mean. It’s a…

Fun fact: Martin Scorsese isn’t actually a boomer. He was born in 1942, which would make him Silent Generation. 

Scorsese is one of the few directors who champions new films and filmmakers. It’s great, the man just loves movies.

Marvel fans don’t need an excuse to get riled up. Despite being fans of the largest movie franchise in history, with a plethora of content generated just for them, and crowding out the rest of the market, they’re somehow still the same ignored, underappreciated, and totally oppressed nerds getting wedgied in middle…

I mean, his opinion about superhero movies is always the subtext on any recent “Scorsese on cinema” writing; it’s hardly surprising that it was referenced.

Just chiming in to say that as a little Blerd who watched BMW on TGIF faithfully, the addition of Angela to the cast was a big fuckin deal at the time. I remember the arc, where Ryder Strong’s character finds a bag and decides it belongs to his dream girl then at the very end they reveal the girl - and she was Black!…

She’s right tho that there were a LOT of solid women-fronted (or all-women) groups putting out rock-along music at the time. Some turned out to be one-hit (ish) wonders but piled up together make for a solid playlist. Elastica, L7, Cranberries, Belly, Breeders, Portishead, Hole, Cardigans, Garbage, Hole, Bikini Kill,…

Physical Graffiti, actually. 

I was picturing something akin to Gwen Stefani based on her comments about it being “a girls’ Green Day group moment”.

I mean, fight scenes are supposed to look spontaneous too, but you do what the stunt coordinator blocked out for you - you don’t randomly decide to kick the other actor in the balls in the name of “being spontaneous.”

“I was playing with the style of the breezy-grunge, punk-light white female singers who were popular at the time. You know the ones who seemed to be so carefree with their feelings and their image,” Carey writes.

Sure but like others have said above, some parts of a movie or TV do not lend themselves to improvisation and yet we still see them all the time.  Big actions scenes and stunts fall into that for sure but so do just simple effect shots or even complicated camera shots(that may or may not be in an action context).  

I would argue that there is an entire team of stunt coordinators who do the exact same thing for action(IE violent) scenes as this woman does for intimidate scenes. 

If only there was such a thing.

There always were stunt coordinators.

Yep. If you’re going to write or say something about what “We” want or what makes “our” work easier, or whatever, it’s always worth taking a step back and asking whether “we” or “our” is the right word, and if so, who is included in “we” and “our.”

Always worth considering that our own perspectives are not universal

“We have to suggest that everything is spontaneous. You have a script, so you don’t come out with these words spontaneously. You have to work on it so that it appears to be spontaneous. That’s where it doesn’t make sense to me, what he said.”
