A Texas woman got an abortion. So Texas police used 83,000 Flock cameras to track her down. 83 THOUSAND!! They aren't using these cameras to track down rapists, pedophiles, or traffickers. They're not using them to find your missing children. They're using them to throw women in jail for making choices about their own bodies, with OUR tax dollars.
Iman Vellani on the statement that Gen Z doesn’t care about superhero movies:
“I don’t agree that Gen Z has stopped caring about superheroes. Maybe they’ve just stopped feeling obligated to show up.
Our generation has grown up with an abundance of superhero stories, so perhaps the novelty has worn off — which is natural.
The bar is higher now. We’re looking for stories that feel specific and emotional — especially in the age of AI. We want honesty from our storytellers. We want our intelligence respected.
If anything, I think Gen Z responds incredibly well to superheroes when they’re treated as people first. The themes of grief, identity, legacy, belonging — they’re timeless and will never age out.
Every genre goes through cycles. Westerns did. Musicals did. Romcoms did. So the answer isn’t to abandon the genre, but to find new stories that only be told through THIS genre.
At the end of the day, I think we just want these films to evolve and grow alongside their audience.”
Christopher Nolan and Tom Holland on using "modern" language in The Odyssey,
Q: You say "Dad" rather than "Father." What's the thinking behind that?
Holland: I wouldn't have said "Father" back then anyway, it would've been in Greek.
PIRATES OF THE CARREBEAN is obviously a masterpiece, but in retrospect I feel very lucky to have grown up when visual effects started to cook but productions still used huge sets, shot in exotic locations and had to rely on human stunt work in camera. we've rarely had it better
@zoehoeglow I absolutely agree!! As a brown Asian girl & plus size, I looked up to the Cheetah Girls bc I saw myself through them. Despite Cheetah Girls being based of a book series on young black girls, Kenny Ortega still made it work both in casting & storytelling. But this is distasteful.
Everyone is rightfully focused on Black-girl representation, but other POC should be mad too. Why is the Asian “representation” Wasian? Why is the Latin “representation” white-passing? Disney could’ve gotten away with diverse casting if they weren’t scared of ACTUAL BROWN PEOPLE.
