Awesome thing about whiplash is everybody on Twitter thinks nobody else understands the ending even tho everybody has one of two interpretations. Even more awesome when you consider there is a secret third correct interpretation and I alone understand it
Director of WHIPLASH (2014) reveals what happens to Andrew after the finale:
“Andrew will be a sad, empty shell of a person and will die in his 30s of a drug overdose.”
“Fletcher will always think he won.”
“I have a very dark view of where it goes.”
Misinterpreted this as Tom Holland playing his character pretending to be Athena pretending to be him, and was briefly excited to get a Nolan film filled with wacky hijinks and hilarious schemes
One of the strangest things to me about mr beast is everything points towards some sort of cartoon mascot for merch/licensed products/intros etc, but they just do it with a guy. Supposedly the company’s talked about being the next Mickey Mouse, but they just have a normal guy
Tbf I think stranger things is one of the most fandom conscious shows I’ve ever seen, so much so that it consistently seems to embrace whatever opinions the fans have, so they might manifest Dustin Henderson getting fired into orbit if they’re not careful
For the record I get the impression it’s actually just because they both think the other badmouthed them first and also they both dislike each others work, but also they hate each other because magic spells oooooooh hahahaha
Extremely into the idea of keeping his exact character and demeanour from the bear but just inserting him into a war movie. This isn’t that, but dream with me for a second

Hideo Kojima says he plays maybe one game a year and instead gathers inspiration from the world around him.
"I don't play games so much. I watch movies, read books, meet people and go to museums, and I'm not copying anything from a game. And there are lot of game creators just watching other games,"
"I think the young people are playing games a lot, and that's good. But on top of that, I want people to feel art or see art and then digest it themselves and create new games."
"Games take a lot of time, and I probably just play maybe one game a year. I play my games by checking, but I have to think outside the box, and what's happening outside the game world is more important to me to incorporate into my game."

Maybe I’m the silly one but I think people pretty fundamentally misunderstand Her, a film I always saw as largely disinterested in AI itself and instead more focused on real relationships. That said I do think that if I’m right the film has aged fairly unfortunately.
This is most true with Her but I think it’s also the case with basically any movie about AI. Blade Runner isn’t thinking about midjourney it’s thinking about relational depth. All of this is to say if aliens come to earth we’re in for a really annoying few years on film twitter
Not aged poorly, for the record. It still works completely fine, it’s just that it feels like we need to mention ChatGPT or whatever even tho I don’t think the film even considered real AI at all
I will say (and I’m not an expert so I could be way off) I think it’s interesting that Gunn seems a lot less interested in Batman than other parts of the DC canon, especially after years of Hollywood fixating on Batman over other DC properties
This sort of feels like a non quote to me. What he’s saying isn’t a new idea, and applies to almost every famous take on the character, including in comics. That also means that even if you’re starting your take with this idea, you can go in any direction from there
James Gunn on Batman:
"Even with Batman, if I was doing Batman I'd get into it it like Batman's a fucking maniac. So he puts on a fucking scary bat costume and goes out and tries to scare people"
