i'm actually devastated that this film about artist exploitation was "remastered" using AI. several scenes did look good but those were few and far between and absolutely did not make up for the blatant AI oversmoothing, eye/face fuckery, etc. i mean i'm glad i got to see it on the big screen and all but i wish they had shown the 200px version you used to be able to watch on youtube.
beef and phoenix warmups as I try to gauge their features...
Are you serious dude?
You were JUST saying "Carburetors man, that's what life's all about" and not a minute later you've flipped and are going on and on about the upholstery.
Figure your shit out man. Until then I'm leaving this place. I hope your car explodes!
it is with a heavy heart that i must announce my balfour aralia, whom i'd nicknamed "winslow leaf", has (in tragic irony) lost all the leaves on one side of him after being neglected for the ten days i was away in another province T_T
i have two types of favorite character:
1) Tragedy If It Was A Person
2) silly
that being said I'm not actually always opposed to conflict free fluff I am just opposed to the characters having their claws filed down for it. you can stick them in a coffee shop au it should just still feel like you sat the two worst most insane people on earth in a starbucks
phantom of the paradise novelization liveblog here we go
I don't know that much about maine but I feel neutral about winslow being from there. he does strike me as a northerner, as well as someone from a small town
(paraphrasing but) "it was kind of winslow's fault his piano teacher killed himself" HUH???
"alan d. swan" holy moly at least "dorian" had some pizzazz
also winslow being 18 and not even out of high school is. a choice. in my opinion having him be in his 30s is more compelling
"phoenix" being a stage name does make sense but idk I kinda liked the idea her parents just named her that
this really does read like bad fanfic but it's not especially funny, just sort of dull... though there are some particularly egregiously bad moments, those aren't funny either
"autistic blob" CHRIST
winslow does not beat up any guards but the description of him losing his grip just makes me think of that "I'm insaaane... I'm crazayyy" video
whyyyy is this book so racist.
winslow just goes back to his old hotel after being in prison for four months and being horribly disfigured in the record press accident. ok man.
