Sorry this is all I can think of lmao

Two screenshots of shows.

Top image: Stranger Things season 5. An image of Mike Wheeler, a white man with dark hair, staring offscreen with a tight mouthed expressionless face. It’s from Will’s “coming out” scene in the show, and he’s supposedly realizing Will had a crush on him.

Bottom image: a scene from the show Supernatural where Dean Winchester, a white man with brown hair, is listening to the confession of Castiel coming out to him and admitting he is in love with Dean. Dean’s expression is flat mouthed and his brow is scrunched up.

blocklists might be one of the worst features of this site just because you have to place insurmountable amounts of trust in a random person operating them to not cut you off from entire networks without notice or appeal

really the only advice I can give both new and old users is don’t sub to blocklists, because people use them for revenge and trolling and you’ll end up blocking people you like 💀

Why tf? Were you added to one of these revenge blocklists? I have a bunch of folks blocking me because of those. Alas :///

Yeah, this is the best I've ever seen any movie intentionally capture that kind of sudden, natural light/color/temperature shift.

One of the things I was most glad to talk with Rian Johnson about was working with his cinematographer Steve Yedlin (he also shouted out his production designer Rick Heinrichs) on these remarkable sequences 📽️

Text from an interview with Rian Johnson about the lighting in WAKE UP DEAD MAN at RogerEbert.com that reads:

Q: When you mention lighting, I want to talk about your collaboration with cinematographer Steve Yedlin. There are so many moments where characters are talking in the church or at night where it feels like we have been taken into a different world, where the visual language shifts. When you were writing did you have these moments in your mind and what were the conversations like with Steve in bringing them to life?

A: It was something I absolutely started thinking about in the writing phase. It was the first conversation I had with Steve, which, first of all, was about the tonal mood of the whole movie being a little bit more gothic. This is definitely more of a lighting movie than the previous two were.

Text from an interview with Rian Johnson about the lighting in WAKE UP DEAD MAN at RogerEbert.com that reads:

A: The big conversation I had with Steve, I grew up as a kid in Colorado, where the clouds move very fast. It doesn’t happen so much in Southern California, maybe in Chicago it does more often, but you’ll be in a room, it’ll be bright and warm and sunlit, and then the sun will go behind a cloud and like that [snaps fingers] it’ll suddenly be dark. You can barely see each other, and it’s dim and cool. The emotional language of the room changes. It’s something that happens a lot in real life, and you don’t see it in movies very often. I wanted to get very theatrical with those light changes, particularly in the church.

Text from an interview with Rian Johnson about the lighting in WAKE UP DEAD MAN at RogerEbert.com that reads:

A: So Steve did a ton of work, and the church’s interior was a set built by Rick Heinrichs, our production designer. Steve prerigged it with all these lights and worked out the lighting control system where on set, just on his laptop, we could play the light changes like we were playing music. We could shape them to the scene as it was happening and repeat them take after take. My favorite thing is when I talk to a friend and they’re like ‘oh my god, that must have been magical on set when you guys got lucky and the sun just happened to have come out when he was giving that speech.’ I always say, ‘Yeah, yeah, it was really lucky.’ [Laughs] That’s absolutely how I want you to feel. That’s great.

Q: Just the right place, the right time.

A: Exactly. Just a lucky guy.
