Women showed cleavage, men harassed them, the women were told to cover up instead of just deleting the fuck out of the harassers. So... American sexual politics as usual, I guess?

Seeing how many of the performers are gay, I think it’s probably not a great time to start the whole “You don’t know suffering” thing. I’m increasingly getting more and more uncomfortable with how often I hear people act as if being a gay man is somehow totally fine now in society— that gay men have the same privilege…

How does CGI effect camera angle, framing, etc? It’s at best art direction you’re talking about. If you don’t think the actual cinematography is good, that’s fine. My point is that CGI largely doesn’t actually impact the cinematography. And if you want to make the argument that none of them know what they’re voting…

Please explain why you think Pan’s Labyrinth won for it’s CGI as opposed to why it actually won— it’s cinematography. Let’s go over this again: Cinematography is about camera movement, framing, lens choice, lighting, film stock and/or video video texture, etc.

My name is Pisscubes. Believe it or not, I am not actually frozen urine. Go figure.

I understand all of this. I’m both a filmmaker and a film professor at two internationally known colleges, if you want to start throwing around qualifications. I reiterate: The idea of saying someone shouldn’t win an award for cinematography based only on the color grading is absolutely ridiculous. You’re not actually…

Color. Color is why it shouldn’t be considered for cinematography. Cinematography consists of lens choice, framing, camera movement and angles, film stock/video quality choice, etc. But because you don’t like the color pallet the rest of what it does in terms of telling a story visually needs to be disregarded?…

Anyone remember that Jez article that had a stupid title like HOLD ME BACK and it was about how the writer had been lightly bullied when she was 10 and how now she was so happy because the person who kind of sort of bullied her still lived in a small town and had kids and drove a not great car while the author was a…

I hate MRA garbage as much as the next person but trying to imply here that women predators are somehow fangless and don’t pose a danger is really fucking insulting for anyone who was manipulated or forced into a sexual relationship with an adult when they were a teen. I get it— I, too, hate the whole “IMAGINE IF THEY…

I won’t ever understand why people flip over Jimmy Fallon doing stupid “ironic” covers. It’s like being forced to watch a terrible open mic performer because he’s rich. I feel Fallon has this weird void in him because he never got to be a rock star so now he just uses his other avenue of success to make people watch…

As others have pointed out— it’s called moderating and it can very easily be done if you care about the climate of your channel. I love Lobos Jr— he’s got well over 250K followers and people who are abusive or shitty get bounced. It’s a positive community and he keeps it that way. If you make your money off of letting…

I’m pretty sure the penalty for not stopping when asked to isn’t death. I’ll look it up in some legal texts though just to be sure.

There is no reason to actually use that word. He said he wanted it to be a gut punch— as if his black students hadn’t already figured out when they were KIDS that that word is a fucking gut-punch. There’s NO reason to use that word. You can discuss it without having to say it over and over again. He can say he was…

He’s an idiot manchild— this is not a bluff. It’s not a troll. Big Boy Donny Wants His PEW! PEW! TANK PARADE. It’s rage-inducing, idiotic and also a hallmark of fascist regimes. I’m not going to ignore it. Also, people are 100% capable of paying attention to this AND other bullshit. A functioning mind means that…

Having a background in media arts and film and currently being a professor in that field as well as an artist myself, I think it’s ok to both say that the message is good, but that this is lazy art. I understand that assholes looking to shut down any discussion about sexual assault or misogyny in art will dismiss it…

So, the music aside— Yes, absolutely, the greatest to ever be in the half time show— it was ALSO the greatest because of how absolutely batshit angry so many of my Ohio-ian relatives got. They turn around for a second, come back and there’s a black dude simulating masturbation on the screen. DIDN’T GO OVER SO WELL…

He has absolutely, 100% always struck me as THE go to artist for people who like black music but have serious reservations about actually supporting a black person. As I live in Boston, I like to call this the Larry Bird Syndrome.

With the exception of the member who is dating a fucking fascist and seems to think its cute, I liked what they stand for. I just wish the music was listenable. Can they just stand on the side of the stage while a reunited Bikini Kill plays?

Man, white liberal women are almost as bad as cops when it comes to protecting their own at all costs.

The way he eats and refuses to exercise and at his age all the stress... [crosses fingers]
