i think something that elevates the hunger games franchise is not just the quality of writing but the integrity of it. tbosas isn’t just a cash-grab by suzanne collins in the age of sequels and reboots (though i won’t pretend that didn’t play a part), it’s a character study of the main antagonist with a different structure than the main trilogy. and importantly, it doesn’t just re-hash the same old themes and beats the main trilogy had, it expands on not just the world of the hunger games but the themes as well, it actually has something new to say about the trilogy’s themes about class, capitalism, power, and control, in a way that couldn’t be explored with the main story because the protagonist of that story simply did not have access to the world that’s being explored in tbosas.

i understand the people who call for books/movies to be made about haymitch, finnick, johanna, different years of the games — we love those characters and want to see more of them! i’d kill for a novella on finnick’s days mentoring tributes, or katniss’s parents falling in love. but at the end of the day we probably wouldn’t be very satisfied with those stories being fleshed out if they had absolutely nothing new to say about the world, they’d be enjoyable, but not as interesting and engaging as tbosas has been.

James Mcavoy and Micheal Fassbender (Their dads too ofc, i.e, the sirs) were such good actors that they could make a superhero movie franchise feel like it had a soul and was not mass produced for money. Can I just say, AcTiNg✨

begging films directors to stop using muted colors filters in their color-corrections to make their serious shows look even more serious. it was already beyond bearing in chernobyl, but you cannot make me belive that dopesick--no matter how good and high quality a show--takes place in the 90's with this few popping colors

Look, I might concede the point that all humans like to see a reflection of their humanity in their non-human counterparts, and that it makes for an interesting storytelling device.

But I'd argue that, in such a saturated environment, you begin to lose reference of what these dynamics were based upon.

I'd further argue that it is a harmful device in the long run.

See, we have dogs as children, robots as friends (or even more humane than humans) and people as ─ at least in the most extreme ─ gross caricatures of themselves.

I don't think it's clever. I think in the worst of films, it is used as a sorry patchwork to hide the writer/director's lack of skills.

You find it easier to attribute human actions to something that isn't even human?

How does that work? How do you decline so far?

I don't even have beef with this. If you have a courier robot that says Made in Britain, and you work some British humour into him, I'd probably be the first to laugh.

I don't think it's funny, or innovative, or smart to use that trope in a soulless fashion to make a propaganda exegesis BS of a plot because of ideological reasons.

Animals are not human.

Machinery, no matter how cute you make them, are not human.

What even is humanity, for you, that makes it impossible for you to write them as a person with moral failings, and goals and views, like everyone else?

If the antagonist of your creation is the antithesis of all that is good, and moral in your world, with no organically human reason for being ─ he's just a sock puppet, or straw man created to justify the Hero's Journey.

And that doesn't make them human, either.

Please do not watch a Michael Jackson biopic 🙄.

I felt guilty enough watching “Elvis” after watching “Priscilla” and I think it’s time we stopped trying to rehabilitate the legacy of predatory wealthy men.

The potential black phone sequel

Dhsjsksshakjssksj

-

Honestly I don’t know how a sequel will work? As the story is told. It’s very contained? Unless there’s a HEAVY supernatural element or a separate killer idk how it’s going to work. I don’t think going heavy on the supernatural would work in the universe as despite there being ghosts it’s still a very grounded story?

I also don’t want it to be a prequel. I’ve made many a post before about the beauty of not knowing much about the grabber. That’s the point! It’s not about him! His reasons, his background wouldn’t change a thing about what he does. In the movie it’s implied he’s had a bad childhood and spent time in the basement himself. (For all we know it could’ve just been a den back then) it’s about the victims. About the impact and the pain, trauma etc - it’s great because it doesn’t explain or give him to much time as well as adding to his creep factor! He’s just… a guy. A neighbor. A coworker. A brother. The fear is that he could be anyone on your street. Giving him a boo hoo backstory or any other would sort of ruin that? Idk

I’d love to see the characters again but … idk.

The fact that I'm not scared to tell the production companies I pitch to that I'm mixed, non-binary, bi or ace, because they're all seen as things that makes shows more diverse and sellable, but I'm scared to say that I'm autistic because if I do they might rejct me because they think I'm too difficult to work with says a lot.

I absolutely have beef with the “character gets yassified in the sequel” pattern that every single movie and TV show follows. Especially with the hair. They always ruin the hair. Either by slapping a wig on everyone or doing them up like they’re going to prom once they get that sequel budget. It’s the most distracting thing ever when you’re familiar with the unique style of the source material and then suddenly everyone’s got eyebrows on fleek, a completely different hair color, wardrobe upgrade to hollywood cardboard cutout, and their face is beat to the gods. Like God Damn! What happened to you? It’s definitely worse for the women characters, but male characters often fall victim to The Dreaded Quiff or Alpha Makeover (most times they go hand in hand). We need to stop this madness.

#as much as I loathe to admit it one of the only series where this didn’t happen is harry potter #twilight is a great example of this and so is marvel. they’re extreme cases though #a lot of the time it’s a tiny bit more subtle but not by much #the hunger games also ticked me tf off with this.#oh yeah everyone is catching strays here #movie industry #hollywood #cas types #marvel #twilight #the hunger games

I hesitated to say anything, because I know some people are genuinely excited.

But I can think of no better encapsulation of everything that has been wrong with moviemaking in the last decade

than a 72 year-old Michael Keaton in full Beetlejuice makeup spouting "The 'Juice is loose"

with all the energy and excitement of Dr. Lazarus remarking
