Im hanging in there 🥰 hope youre doing well, too!

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 20h

Tho I do encourage at least 2 watches bc it all comes together even better when you know exactly where its going

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 20h

I really think its a movie worth watching! I think its reputation amongst film enthusiasts as a visual spectacle and psychedelic horror kind of kept it from really breaching those circles into mainstream appeal and I get why, but its not nearly as confusing as I was initially led to believe

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 20h

Oh let it be known this isnt just directed at letterboxd critics but also published reviews i found online independent of typical social media platforms. Ive read a lot of people's thoughts on this film and most of them, if not all, come across utterly baffled by the film

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 20h

Anyways this has been a brief and nonexhaustive rant on a movie i really relate to and enjoy and feel is HUGELY misunderstood by a large majority of reviewers, positive and negative.

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 20h

Its not that fucking hard to read the movie as a character study. I feep gaslit reading the online reviews, though. Everyone acts like the film so obtuse. Its not. I wonder how many people even bothered to give it a second viewing to actually attempt a good faith read on it

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 20h

To me the movie has obvious themes. Simple themes about masculinity, faith, and class. Like. Mind-blowingly obvious. Its the story of the delusion of class mobility driving several men to vie for power over each other when they are ultimately all powerless, until they snap

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 20h

A lot of the positive reviews have nothing concrete to say. They praise the trippy visuals and the tone but I still feel like they were mostly just confused by the movie. Feels like a lot of "emporers new clothes"ing it but tbh i doubt even Wheatley is up his own ass as much as the reviewers are

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 20h

This is far from the only review like this. Look, I dont think you have to "get" the things I like but stop acting like the people who do like it are lying or something.

On the other hand - I absolutely think a lot of the high reviews are equally full of shit in sucking the director's dick

Nina! @ninawolverina.bsky.social · 20h

I know A Field In England isnt the MOST approachable film but the low letterboxd reviews makes me feel like i watched a different film than everyone else. What do you MEAN the only 3 ways you can feel are "wow, neat visuals!", "that sucked, it was too pretentious" or "cool, ultimately meaningless"?

There are three ways an unclassifiable and controversial film like this can go. You are completely entranced by the strangeness it surrounds itself in and the experimental vibes it employes. You are either disgusted by it, frustrated and left unable to respond to it because you find it downright inaccessible. Or you observe it unfold with a restrained curiosity, admiring its creativity and ideas but doubting it adds up to much and questioning its merits. Im mostly on the third side, leaning a bit towards the second rather than the first.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Everyone on the fence about A.I., there's something you don't realize.

It's purpose is to eliminate human jobs and human skills.

That's it. That's its single purpose. For companies to no longer pay people or train them in skills.

This sounds like some kind of weird humble-brag but it’s really true. You don’t have to eat glass, but you’d be surprised how far you can get by being reliable and easy to work with. Raw drafting talent is worth nothing if you’re a piece of shit who can’t hit deadlines.

Heidi MacDonald @comixace.bsky.social · 2d

Todd McFarlane: The one thing I've learned as I got older is you can't change personality. You either eat glass or not. You can't teach that. Rob LIefeld and I were glass eaters. Not the best artists, but we stood up. You should have seen what happened if we actually had f*ckin'' talent."

Quick, we gotta keep drawing our TTRPG blorbos to piss off a tumblr rando. Spite powered art is the best 💖

Saw some post somewhere earlier about people “not getting” transness or whatever

You don’t have to get it.

If you believe in bodily autonomy for all, then no one needs you to understand their personal situation to earn being seen as a person by you.

You just treat every human being as a person.
