can someone explain to me like im five why these streaming services and places that rip from them will label videos as "HD" or 1080p and you look at the video specs and it is technically 1080p in that those are the width dimensions of the video but it is pixelated over as if buffering from the internet quality even when downloaded (which btw is NOT HD). like

this is pulled from an actual disc:

this is labeled as "HD" pulled from a streaming service that you pay money for:

this shit wtf is this shit

Why is macroblocked pixelated shit labeled the same as actual quality shit? Why are things that I am paying monthly for in 2024 worse than a VHS I rented from Blockbuster in 2004

#old man screams at cloud #this is like if I took a shitty 10 pixel image resized it to 1080 pixels in photoshop and was like 'look! its HD now' no its not karen #where are the pixels why are u killing them #esp for old movies they do this #everything is worse

GIRL WHAT

#uhhhh me #THE FIRST MOVIE IS NOT EVEN TEN YEARS OLD #why are we speed running the reboot pipeline #hollywood saw pjo and spiderwick rebooting to tv and went 'yes we should do this to everything actually'#also. in my very humble opinion. the maze runner movies are the best they can be #rebooting the series esp so soon is not magically going to give a better result #the movies already improved on the books. like what else can you do. make one that sticks closer to the books and suck as a result?#AND THEN. u think about all the other YA dystopian movies that have never been made into movies/shows #THEY should get a chance. not a movie franchise that is not even TEN YEARS OLD

I think 'cringe culture' is the next one that needs to be put up on the high shelf so people can't reach it. It's lost almost all it's intended meaning to me when people say 'cringe culture is dead' now because people use that deflect any criticism of poor behavior/bad faith takes. It's become not about, 'I like what I like, who cares!', or 'my blog, I post what I want!' and more about people expecting not only that their niche head-cannons will be respected, but that they will be validated and adopted by everyone in a ~fandom~, including creators and actors.

It's become an excuse to linger around in a fandom you've grown to dislike it and to spew negativity because, 'cringe culture is dead so I can rage about my ship not going cannon'. Because no one seems to understand anymore that they can walk away from a story at any time if it no longer makes them happy. Or even that their specific ideas for where a story should go are not necessarily even good, or the story the creators wanted to tell.

It's become a weird shield for people to wield when they are told that maybe, possibly, they may need to take a step back and log off and that it's not that deep. Cringe culture is dead so it's okay to be absolutely unhinged about something, even as a full-grown adult. There is no line between healthy enjoyment and unhinged obsession anymore cause 'cringe culture is dead!'

I think it's also fed into the whole belief that 'cannon doesn't actually matter do whatever you want!' crowd which, again, devolves into demanding that certain niche head-cannons or fannon takes are more important than cannon and people thinking it's okay and even correct to bitch at creators and/or actors.

#this post brought to you by no ~fandom~ in particular just by me being on this website for 10+ years and getting TIRED #idk man the more and more I see this phrase it's tied to shit that is like.... truly out of pocket behavior. esp for adults.#like I'm sorry yeah I *do* expect ppl in their 20s & 30s to have a healthier relationship with TV & movies & books etc #than some 13 year old. that's just like....normal.#I'm just sick to death of seeing the sentiment at this point cause it no longer means what it was intended to mean I feel #and with this swing at a hornet's nest. I log off. cause I have to get ready for work lmao #erin explains it all

this is random well not really but i love tyler posey so much he deserves the world and i wish him nothing but the best and i hope that he is always surrounded by people who love him and have his best interests at heart <3333

#tyler posey #he’s so fucking precious #personally i do not cape for celebrities beyond aesthetic reasons but fuck he seems like such a lovely person #idk i feel old i remember looking up to him when i was q5 bc he was so weird and openly loving towards others #like watching bfs stuff was always such a blast because he literally cares so much for everyone and no one ever had anything bad to say #about him #weirdos in this fandom esp on twitter have always been vicious and disgusting in their dislike for whatever prejudiced reason but he #hasn’t changed. at all.#he’s still the same guy i looked up to #obviously i’m obsessed with the character scott mccall but posey as a human being just seems so wonderful #lol my tags ugh i meant when i was 15 not q5 #and bts stuff not bfs stuff #you know what ignore my tags whatever #the point is i just want him to be happy i think he deserves it.#this movie is going to make me so mad i can feel it. but also #it’s him so i can’t wait <3

Reagan Reviews #2 - Desperate Journey

So, this movie is basically just war propaganda. But like,,, funny war propaganda? World War II comedy. And honestly, it’s probably my favorite Reagan movie I’ve seen so far.

Synopsis: a WWII bomber crew is sent to bomb a German railway so they can block shipments. They get shot down 💀 and crash in Germany, killing most of their crew. A lot of them die throughout the movie. They get caught by nazis, where they accidentally see some new top secret technology and are about to be sent to a prison camp. Then, Ronald Reagan does something sneaky and they kill a bunch of nazis.

youtube

They escape and basically just have to keep moving west to try to make it back across the channel with this secret information. However, they keep getting sidetracked and go on so many different side missions that they MUST just change the entire trajectory of the war. The nazis are extremely stupid.

Rating time!

acting - it’s definitely very 40s acting, which is good, but also very,,, light?? i mean, i enjoy the acting choices but it is a WWII movie. there are also some times where there friends die (and yea it’s a lot of high stakes situations) but they really don’t spend more than a second mourning them. 5/10

plot - the plot is absurd. it’s good, it has an end goal, but almost everything that happens is just bizarre to imagine. it’s fun but NOT accurate for a 1942 war movie. 7/10

reagan - great! lots of one liners and he casually kills and bombs a lot of nazis. what a king! this is a really classic reagan character and i like his little trickeries. for being (again) a little bit absurd, 9/10

cinematography - the few special effects are fun for the period, i guess the plane and fight scenes are pretty cool, and there’s a good car chase. overall it’s a nice looking movie, i guess. 8/10

ending - spoiler alert, they get back in the end after defeating an absurd amount of nazis. it’s kinda like star wars where the nazis/stormtroopers are just SHIT at fighting. they punch a bunch of nazis and steal a plane and go back home! but of course they take about a second to mourn there friends before joking about women so it’s okay. 6/10

overall: 7/10 for a (maybe inappropriately) fun movie. a good watch, as long as you watch it critically.

speaking of which, watch it right here! https://ok.ru/video/1797581179572

see you in the next one ^_^

#reaganreviews #ronald reagan #reaganposting #desperate journey (1942)#i hope this one doesn’t get age restricted #esp for nazis 💀#noo surely not #idk if i should do tropic zone next cause i barely remember it #should i skip to bedtime for bonzo?#old movies #movie reviews

Yo being mad about disney race swapping characters is dumb what im annoyed about is the weird idea that its anti feminist to want romance from a company that made a bunch of profit off of romances.. And the constant dissing that disney princesses get is rather grating .. if they were treated respectfully that would be great but no they keep being shat on by what i view as fake femisist that keep hating on fictional children. thats the issue with disney remakes they steal talking points from people hating on fictional kids its so lame

#disney #snow white #the little mermaid #beauty and the beast #its funny how batb got complaints when i thought that was suppose to be the more fem one #snow and cindy are in abusive situations what do you want em to do esp the 14 year old ?#they're doing the best they can #ariel had an abusive father #jasmine had a decent one he was just so dumb #but none of em were weak princesses snow had the dwarfs wrapped around her finger #i saw that movie a year ago i think and rem thinking hey snow is acutally very proactive shes bossing those animals and the dwarfs around #and shes considered weak bec she wants a prince like shes 14 bro thats a normal age to be into romance i dunno what to tell ya #its so weird to me disney is looking down on romance romance is cute its not anti femnist #you can have a job and be a romantic itws not mutually exclsuive #ariel was not weak either girl took on a shark saved erics life and did something she went to make her dreams a realiaty how is that not #feminist man people are too picky with these teenagers

went to see the barbie movie a few days ago and hm. weird

#spoilers for the tags and also a slight little rant #for a movie all about girls and woman it sure was all about men #and made a pregnant woman the butt of the joke just bc she was pregnant #and there’s a whole segment at the beginning where a barbie is all ‘my emotions make me stronger =)’ and then later barbie just gives up #and sobs on the ground #a character calls barbie ‘white savior barbie’ after she did literally nothing to be called a white savior #and later that same character goes ‘that’s cultural appropriation’ when her DAD tries to learn spanish bc her MOTHER SPEAKS SPANISH.#their whole patriarchy plot was weird and dumb and preachy and poorly executed #and overall he plot was just.. messy ig?? idk it was a weird experience #it also felt like mattel giving themselves a pat on the back for diversity that they (to my knowledge) do not have #and everything with the kens was odd and weird and unnecessary #it was so preachy and then it turned around and did the exact opposite thing #i thought this movie was going to be about how barbie is an intergenerational experience for so many woman #and that she brings together so many woman no matter their differences #and it was almost that. esp at the beginning #and then it turned into a weird hypocritical messy story that really had no memorable message or theme #and bro ken was so badly written. everything was badly written but especially ken.#anyways there was a wonderful scene where barbie told an old lady that she was beautiful and she replied with ‘i know’#which would be lovely if the main reason Barbie was on her quest wasn’t because she was getting cellulite and on the path to becoming ‘ugly’#uhhhshfjks yeah bad movie. lots of weird messy things.#this is more than a slight little rant oopsies #my bad i’m opinionated #this isn’t even the half of it too lmao #negativity #rant #ranting #allan and weird barbie were great tho #and the acting costumes set effects cinematography etc. were outstanding #it’s just the writing that was Fucked #there were absolutely good things but so much of it was just. hm. idk i can’t rlly explain in just he tumblr tags that well lmaoo

star wars rewatch idea: take a shot every time someone falls into some kind of hole or shaft

#actually this genuinely sounds really fun. latimer and i arent huge alcohol drinkers but a virgin version of this #with like candy or something would be delightful esp if we're stoned #i myself actually COULD do it as a true shot drinking challenge i am just genuinely afraid at how many #times guys fall down holes or shafts in star wars im worried id die LOL #it would be so fucking fun though.#maybe we could do 'take a sip every time...“ instead of a whole shot #at least til i get a better idea of around how many to expect in an episode.#if its like 6-8 or less times per movie on average i could do real shots about it. but what if theres like. 20 in one movie. id die LOL #star wars is so stupid and i hate it and i love it and its like one of those oil/water hourglass toys to me #like i know objectively its shitty made and if youve ever seen one youve seen em all #but yet i do still love to watch them. and it can be fun to look at a new one or an old favorite every now and then <3

genuinely so emo abt the fact that i have friends who want to do stuff w me now omg

#i was v scared for college bc i have had. such awful luck w finding ppl who want to do things w me #the closest friendship ive ever had was online lol and even that ended w me being ignored and pushed away so its a v foreign experience for #other ppl to v openly. enjoy my company and continously invite me to things just bc they want me to be there #like ik a good part of that is everyone trying to not be lonely as shit these first couple weeks but all of the friends im referring to #were part of a summer program where they got to show up like 6 weeks early and so they already have friends and ppl to hang out w #so its still rly cool that i showed up made friends w like 2 of them and now 3 weeks later im having to actively plan time to do hw and #watch my shows and stuff bc im being invited to eat and walk around and watch movies and do things all the time #shit is surreal !! im so grateful esp when my suggestions for things to do are well recieved like today alone i invited some of them #to go to the barnes and noble opening in a town near us next month + to a open house at our states observatory. and other ppl were actually #excited to learn abt those. its insane im so used to being ignored and treated like the things i care abt dont matter i love life rn omg #ppl are so cool and interesting sometimes i still feel like i am the most boring person in the room bc i never had the time money location #or motivation to explore a ton of my interests but when i tell ppl abt that feeling theyre like bitch me too !!! lets go snowboard and hike #and have observing nights and paint and dress up for halloween together and its makes me so happy. that is all #actually one more thing i was initially thinking abt dressing up as asa csm (which is. already an improvement from younger me feeling so #isolated she avoided dressing up for halloween for a decade bc she never felt close enough to go w anyone) BUT NOW im a part of a 2 month #old plan for like a dozen ppl to dress up as monster high girls AND im gonna be draculaura. literally such a slay i cant #🌸.txt

Okay I'm home now and i can fully and freely type. Anyway mild spoilers for into the spiderverse i guess?

❌❌❌

Anyway uh. Yeah it... It was a tiny bit of a disappointment. It didn't do it for me at all. I feel like this movie is more of an art exhibit and i mean that as a fucking insult. Like sure the animation fucks my ears are ringing and my head aches horribly (that's on me for thinking i can be autistic and watch this on theaters) but like, the story man? It just so much (DEROGATORY).

It commits the sin a lot of spiderman movies make and that is that it bit more than it could chew. Not because they're bad at handling a complex story, but because they tried to juggle like 5 at once. And that never fucking works (my ear is still ringing and it hurts I'm in pain rn -_+ just wanted y'all to know)

Like it introduced SO FUCKING MUCH and it all was cool yeah! Just like electro was cool, and Harry, and Gwen, and captain Stacy. You know what in trying to fucking say? There's only so much you can do in 2 hours and you can just throw all you have all at once at the viewer because all you'll do is leave them disappointed wanting for more of that.

I feel like a baby. They show me this cool thing but nuh uh! Enough of that! Here's this new cool thing! But nuh uh! Enough of that- and so on. Like there were so many cool characters and ideas and concepts and shit but it could barely balance it all. YOU KNOW HOW BAD I WANTED TO SEE MORE OF THE SPOT?! HE BARELY WAS HERE!

It's like, you cannot fucking make a whole movie as the introduction to your next movie. That just sucks. You're setting yourself up for failure.

Like I'm just so upset bc it was full of amaizing things but it didn't fucking deliver in any of them!!!! And God don't get me started on the references. I think this was one of the worst ways to fill your movie with references. Like at least let me fucking process what I'm seeing if you are gonna waste so much time here, but also just... Don't make it so fucking blatant.

Like man i... This was a very experimental spiderman movie which i appreciate in a way but... It's not what I was expecting. To me, personally, it was disappointing. And also not designed at ALL to watch on cinemas. I think that last bit is just a fact.

I'm just kinda sad man. Like i loved Miles and Gwen's drama and i loved Miguel but I also wanted to see more of, you know, THE WHOLE FUCKING NEW CAST AND THE NEW FUCKING VILLAIN THEY INTRODUCED BUT SHOWED ONLY FOR LIKE 2-3 SEGMENTS MAX???????

LIKE HANDS ON HEAD EMOJI WHAT WERE THEY DOINGGGGG 😭😭😭😭

#luly talks #im sorry to the people who loved this movie i am so upset #on funnier news i found the spot is called la mancha in spanish which is funny bc mancha is what we call a common kids game #in fact i remember that the english name for that is tag we call that mancha #LA mancha #btw i did love Miles' mom having more of the spotlight it was like a little treat for us latinos fr #also. the amount of cop stuff was a bit too much. i wouldn't call it pro cop like some idiot i saw the other day but it. like. hm. y'know?#like this movie feels like an art project something you'd see the fans do and if they did you'd allow the imperfections #but it was made by an studio and there were expectatives in the table like it. it just doesn't stand on its own at all #I WANTED MORE OF PAV AND HOBBIE MAN. I FUCKING DID. HOBBIE ESP I HAVE A CRUSH ON EM #they/them too right? didnt really hear it well but I'm sure i heard em be called they #i will say tho i loved the pear shaped spiderwoman that was super cool #i did literally joke about being too fat to make a spidersona b4 watching the movie and sure she was a woman i aint but it was nice anyway #but yeah it just. it tried to chew more than it could bite. the spot was so cool tho #the spot and hobbie are my guys i love them #man I'm just sad i really am im repeating myself bc im too overwhelmed to retain thoughts so idk if im being clear but like #this movie had a LOT of good things but it delivered on nearly NONE of them #like just commit! you want this to be a story about Miles sure do that but just focus on him and that's it #dont throw in so much and leave us yearning for more bc now we have the old cast AND the new cast both and we barely saw any of these new #ppl interacting we barely fucking know them #anyway just SAD man

it’s such a problem when i watch 20th century period films & [9 times out of 10] ALL the characters are smoking tobacco to some extent. i spend the whole runtime craving a cigarette then when it’s over i step outside & chainsmoke for like. 15 min. like a fool. i fall victim to big tobacco every damn time. they play me like a gd fiddle

#obligatory smoking is bad disclaimer yadda yadda im aware #ESPECIALLY all the war films i watch. wwii era esp im sitting there DYING #& i refuse to smoke indoors so yes i rly do need to wait til the movie is done #ty posts #i watched a lot of old 40s-50s movies when i was a kid and i’m telling u. all that exposure is what made me a smoker #lung cancer speedrun
