1.4~ years later, I have made small adjustments to the things you are officially allowed to like. If you like anything not on this chart, you must add a disclaimer that you are stupid and also wrong.

[good intentions paving company @JacobLee2304]

No need to overanalyze it or attribute it to specific works within either franchise. Peter Parker is relatable. Bruce Wayne is not.

[Fakko @FanAkko]

Its interesting how Spider-Man has overtaken Batman as THE Superhero. Does this say anything about the difference between gen z and millennial or is it just something else we can blame on Zach Snyder?

[good intentions paving company @JacobLee2304]

We expect to be welcome everywhere ourselves but we will not let you in our neighborhood.

[good intentions paving company @JacobLee2304]

Mild tangent from your point

I think it's very funny the standards that white Americans will hold people to ("fix your own culture!") when most of them would be dismayed to be seen like an immigrant rather than an "expat" in other countries.

[eva @_glorianas]

immigration debate will go nowhere until we all come to terms it is deeply inhumane to have such massive differences in living standards across the globe and expect people to just accept that

@souljagoyteller during my one film class, when they showed more abstract stuff, they were generally shorter films that happened to tie into more entertaining films. like Un Chien Andalou as a preface for popular surrealism. the full lengths were generally stuff to actually hook people in.

[good intentions paving company @JacobLee2304]

in fact, Deltarune is a very Twin Peaksian work but not many people know this

[good intentions paving company @JacobLee2304]

all of the above. it's all of the above.

[✨SNOW🍧🍦🇨🇦 (1/3) (SPACEBALLS THE TWT ACC) @KakiSnowCream]

The issue with deltarune fans is that they think deltarune is a furry soap opera rather than metafiction and cosmic horror with an actual narrative.

[good intentions paving company @JacobLee2304]

it's like saying "Twin Peaks isn't a soap opera, it's about the eternal battle and necessary balance of good and evil!"

like yeah dude but it's also a soap opera

[good intentions paving company @JacobLee2304]

@CodeDusq and like you know Parasite and Akira are not my absolute favorite films but Asian culture + Akira is cyberpunk and predates most prestigious anime films (and is a good representative of the broader influence of animation)

[good intentions paving company @JacobLee2304]

Citizen Kane
2001
Do The Right Thing
Un Chien Andalou
Playtime
Vertigo
Mulholland Drive
Persona
Sherlock Jr or Safety Last
The Passion of Joan of Arc
A Trip to the Moon
Akira
Parasite
Metropolis
Something by Godard
Pulp Fiction
Jaws
Battleship Potemkin

idrk beyond that

[sebastian castillo @bartlebytaco]

this is a fun prompt: two movies a week for a 15-week semester, what are the 30 films every 18 year old should see?

[good intentions paving company @JacobLee2304]

@CodeDusq the reason I'd prioritize something like Un Chien Andalou or A Trip to the Moon over whatever the consensus best film ever is that you can draw a link from those films to later films very easily since classes are all about history and theory.

[good intentions paving company @JacobLee2304]

@prototypell It's not even out of the realm of possibility that in the distant future a visual novel might be considered an essential literary work (in the same way that Bob Dylan has a Nobel Prize in Lit) but people preemptively saying it are incorrectly considering enjoyment over influence.

[good intentions paving company @JacobLee2304]

Death Stranding was about being a fucking architect

"A world where nostalgia and novelty attack you in the form of art."

Hideo Kojima had high praise for Kane Parsons’ Backrooms, remarking on how the film reminded him of the maze-like maps and polygonal look of early video games.

well yes but that's partially because of their artistry, it's hot to be smart af while also being hot

[outlander @outlanderforthe]

There is atleast one artist you listen to that you have a crush on

[UNDERTALE/DELTARUNE @UnderTale]

We have uploaded a new patch for DELTARUNE on Steam and Playstation. This one adds an optional toggle to a certain boss's bombs after you lose. This is the last patch we have planned for now. Thanks!

[good intentions paving company @JacobLee2304]

not that impressive; aside from Eva being original material rather than a manga adaptation, Anno seemingly has watched non-otaku films.

[Moon Moon over Marin @PezunCityDJs]

What gets me is, now that I think about it, I don’t actually know the last time I watched a new anime that did a montage like this or used any kind of intermediate filmic language at all

[good intentions paving company @JacobLee2304]

while I don't honestly care, it's actually pretty irritating to get ChatGPT to direct you to sources for those who have tried

YouTuber Hank Green has paused uploading on multiple channels after admitting he relies "too heavily" on AI

"I need to come to terms with the fact that the level of dopamine I've been getting from interacting with LLMs ... is not healthy for me or good for the world"

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 🤳

also the brutal irony of a Dune fan with a mostly 2020s top 4 saying this.

y'know what I'm gonna watch by end of next week? Twin Peaks, Sunset Blvd, Kiss Me Deadly, probably some others. might be film syllabus shit but you can talk once you've branched out past the 2020s.

[good intentions paving company @JacobLee2304]

I may shit on the "4 films a year crowd" but everyone has to start somewhere. There's no reason people shouldn't be sharing their defenses of super mainstream stuff. You wanna change the culture? Start recommending people things.

[Jenni 🏳️‍⚧️ @starbursterfilm]

Yes, i’m pretentious. I do not believe you should be interacting in film spaces when you sincerely and wholeheartedly believe that obsession, the odyssey, spiderman and project hail mary are the 4 best of the year. You are a trend hopping goblin, not a film connoseiur.

[Nick @BigBicNick]

Why are conservatives randomly talking about Covid 7 years later and not how awesome the economy is and how great their war with Iran is going
