I went into dune thinking timtom was average looking but watching that skinny lad cruise around in the Black Coat and those Looks he was pulling during the box scene….. one may just have to reconsider

I must have ghost-written this because this is me exactly lmao everything about this. I didn't go into this movie expecting to be violently thrown into a Timtom era and yet here we are. The box scene was a Moment most pleasing in my career??? The expression? The shaking the crying and the split second turn from that fear and pain to Dominance and this like stoic power in the face of the Reverend Mother's torture??? OK!!! And yeah the coat is A Look. I’m obsessed with it. So glad he is joining Oscar and Ryan Gosling in the Denis Villenueve “pretty sci-fi men with big high-collared black trench coats cinematic universe.”

#the little head tilt he did at the beginning??? like when it first hurt him... you know what i'm talking about why lie #answered #dune

SEA is deeply embarrassing

There are a handful of American Imagineers who like to pretend that they're producers at Marvel

Unfortunately they've never been taught how to tell stories

And so Imagineering's grand attempt to design a "cinematic universe" for Disney's theme parks

feels like fanfic

Fanfic with a biiiiig ol' budget

Fanfic with a big ol' budget and no respect for the source material that it's "plussing"

IMAGINEER FANBOYS: Did you know that, back in the late 1800's, a character from the Jungle Cruise interacted with a character from Thunder Mountain???????

ME: I didn't know that! How does it change the audience's understanding -- or experience -- of either ride?

IMAGINEER FANBOYS: Mostly it just uses backstory to distract you from your own experience, lol

Don't get me wrong, it IS fun to notice patterns in theme parks

Pattern recognition is at the core of why theme parks are a more interesting narrative artform than movies or books

Sometimes, if you look for "clues" in the nooks and crannies of a location, they'll add up into a story

And these stories are delightful, because the location only implied what happened; you got to connect the dots for yourself

Basically, the theme park lets you play along as a storyteller

If a theme park uses that tool to let the audience imagine a crossover between two franchies, it can be fun as hell

For example, in the Winnie-the-Pooh ride, there's a painting of Mr. Toad handing the deed over to Owl

It comments upon the location: by alluding to the building's original ride, it provides a narrative reason for the existence of the current ride

It also invites us to imagine, say, the gang from the Hundred Acre Woods being invited over to Toad Hall for brunch

We can extract all of that from one single painting in a room that a strong wind blows us through

Unfortunately, the storytellers behind the Society of Explorers and Adventurers don't understand the tools of their artform

With SEA, every story is some variation of "Character A once stood beside Character B, and that's why this ride exists"

First of all, that's classist AF; it reeks of "great man" theory

But narratively, it forces a lot of boring text onto the audience

which stops us from searching for clues

which stops us from playing along as storytellers

It alienates us, rather than immersing us

IMAGINEER FANBOYS: Did you know that the nice guy from Mystic Manor was BFFs with the mean guy from the Hightower Hotel??????????

ME: So...how do you want me to feel about that? What am I supposed to take from it?

IMAGINEER FANBOYS: Wellllll maybe the nice guy from Mystic Manor

IMAGINEER FANBOYS: isn't so nice after all?!?!?!?!?!?!??

IMAGINEER FANBOYS: oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoHhHhHhHh!!!

IMAGINEER FANBOYS: tEh aMbIgUiTyYyyYyYyYyYyYy!!!11!!!!!!!!!

ME: Does that mean you're arcing the character? Will you tell a story about the corruption of the nice guy from Mystic Manor?

IMAGINEER FANBOYS: Yep!!!!!

IMAGINEER FANBOYS: Just as soon as Bob Iger visits the theme parks, like he always does

IMAGINEER FANBOYS: and recognizes the franchise potential of our big-budget fanfic, which he definitely will

IMAGINEER FANBOYS: and produces an expansive movie series based upon our big-budget fanfic, which will definitely be successful

IMAGINEER FANBOYS: which will then get adapted into an attraction about the corruption of the nice guy from Mystic Manor

IMAGINEER FANBOYS: except it will probably be an overlay of Spaceship Earth that's about the corruption of the nice guy from Mystic Manor

ME: Ok well good luck, here's hoping you aim for the moon and wind up among the stars

ME: Now if you'll excuse me, I'ma go enjoy a ride I love

IMAGINEER FANBOYS: Cool cool, have fun thinking about our big-budget fanfic while you're trying to enjoy the ride you love, lmao

O brave new artform, that has such fanboys in it
