Something i've noticed is that in every movie about lower class women is that they always come to a point where they become stripper when we know that, in reality, litteraly one person out of 50 do it. most of them find job that's are shamed by rich people or that rich people don't even think exist. i believe that a lot of writers don't talk about it because they are appart of this upperclass socitey and don't realize does job even exist sometimes.

I saw a famous actor’s band play back in 2019 at a small, dive-y venue and he called himself “poor” on stage, while wearing ratty clothing, obviously trying to “relate” with his audience, and he complained about the Kardashians. I said to my friend after the show, “But his net worth is over $1m and he has a home in LA and London??”

i am a huge A24 fan not because of the horror, but the fact that they produce unique ideas. in a world of soulless reboots and prequels A24 is a sanctuary of individuality. they are able to promote talented directors, actors, and ideas that may have never made it in other production houses. those directors and their ideas are what make the company successful

Emerald Fennel- named due to her ridiculously wealthy gem dealer father’s fortune and associated privilege- had a life of private education then Oxford, acting roles and publishing deals from social connections makes a film using a dear friend’s massive mansion as a location and essentially has a plot about a devious ‘lower class’ person wanting to rob, screw or eat the rich. I found Saltburn (in spite of some good performances) depressingly shallow and two dimensional for a similar cosplaying cluelessness about actual poverty or actual middle class people or what ‘real’ people think of the self-aggrandising spoiled children of the super wealthy.

It’s not even just the poverty she’s cashed out on for image and art, she also has capitalized off of the Latina community and the Native American community…There’s no argument there. She’s a stereotypical white upper middle class girl that chase after where ever the chaos was to rebel against her parents. Which is typical response especially with the ties of religion influencing it. Well, she’s now a women. But the argument still withstands. That’s the problem with Hollywood, they’re all fronting a lifestyle that isn’t there’s, art, music, writing, etc. I mean as in, they make art that isn’t orginally for them, it’s for other people. It’s up for debate how you choose to judge that. It’s rare that there are artists from Hollywood that are raw cut gems, majority are manufactured…If you open your eyes enough you’ll see what I mean. It’s like looking at rap artists and realizing many of them aren’t what they rap about it. I do question what is the blurred line of realism and idealism? Is it good storytelling or just straight up lying? I’m not sure, I’m not an artist. I observe and I question. I genuinely do believe that Hollywood will crumble and fall apart. I think with Gen Z especially there’s a less desire for the Hollywood mystic. We need more love pushed for independent and underground artists. I just have no trust of authenticity with big artists anymore….

The same thing (and mostly by the same time) happed to me with the Final Fantasy franchise, I played FFXIII first and was charmed by the world building, characters and soundtrack, but then I went straight to FFIV and REALLY felt that FFXIII was very "flawed". I think is all about the experiences you have and how they shape the way you take things in. Also, best char on skins is Chris And best FF is FFVI

One of my favorite stories to tell is how I was falling asleep in my tenth grade English class watching Freedom Writers, because I could immediately tell the movie was white savior-y and boring, only to be *very loudly* woken up by “When The Shit Goes Down” by Cypress Hill. Black Sunday was one of my most replayed albums at that time, so I JOLTED awake, wondering where the hell the music was coming from… it was coming from Freedom Writers. I forget exactly what the scene was, but playing Cypress Hill over footage of “troubled teens” (AKA, the students of color) is the most on-the-nose example of stereotyping I’ve seen one of these movies pull, holy crap

I wonder if the A24 thing is similar to how, when I was a teen, a lot of folk latched on to folk like Kevin Smith or Tim Burton. Where it was a lot of folks introduction to "cinema"tm where they were getting to see stuff that didn't fit the mold of typical hollywood cinema and gave them a chance to learn of the wider world of film. Folk are seeing A24 movies and are seeing "weird" stuff for the first time, seeing deep character drama for the first time etc. That then leads them to the wider world of cinema and builds future cinephiles who, in years to come will look back at this particular obsession and cringe.

I had a lot of bad teachers in my life, especially during elementary school. My personal experience had nothing to do with racism, because I'm white. But I came from a very white and catholic environnement who presented Africa to us, as a poor and miserable giant country, and blackfaces as an okay thing (for those who don't know yet : not it's not), so I'm sure they were racist with the non whites students. Those teachers were also the kind of bitter jerkasses who liked to lash out their frustration on us, and called us "stupid" and "brat" when we didn't understand something. Some of them were also physically violent. The worst one was my 2nd grade teacher. She was pissed, and agressive with us most of the times. I was bullied at that time, and all this old cunt face said to me that it was my fault, because I was a wimp and a crybaby. I still have a long grudge against them and teaching in general, and I'm worried that my sister, who is about to be a teacher herself, would turn like them, or a white savior teacher wannabe, or maybe both

Luke def brings about the nihilism in Jon, upon their meeting. B4 Jon met Luke, it's hard to say what he was planning on doing, once he got the news about being HIV positive.
