Transcript by OP

[fscom]

It's like I have anti-shipping goggled welded on. I simply don't see romance unless it's very explicit or done just right. I default to assuming non-romantic explanations for a lot of character moments. I still sometimes get surprised when the main characters kiss because I thought they were gazing off thoughtfully, not looking at the other one longingly.

[(Anonymous)]

A lot of times the writing, acting, direction, or all three, just don't sell it. I've come to expect the "romance" whenever a man and a woman stand next to each other, but rarely do I actually see it in the text, as it were. Mostly when it comes to shipping I grab onto characters that I think have the best chemistry on screen, which is rarely the ones the story actually puts together.

[paperghost]

Same. I went from being a hardcore shipper for over a decade to just... not. I understand where people are coming from when they see backing for A/B (etc.), but I almost never feel it or see it as a tell, unless it's explicit or framed as a pre-relationship moment.

[(Anonymous)]

That’s fair OP.

I’m the opposite, I’m so used to the visual tropes and narrative tells that I can usually tell who’s going to be put together in the first episode. Obviously some things are more obvious, like if I’m watching a romance show, but even for non ones I usually guess right. There’s a formula and most things stick to it.

[dinogrrl]

Like...I usually see the tropes from a mile away but the romance actually happening always throws me off because there's rarely any actual substance behind it, just the tropes.
And then sometimes I forget the tropes exist and I miss them entirely and then I'm blindsided by it.

Transcript – Moana

[(Anonymous)]

I LOVE Moana. I'm not a Disney person and most of the Disney movies from this century have been
very meh in my eyes. But I do LOVE Moana.

But why the FLYING FUCK do we need a remake of a movie that isn't even a decade old?!?!?!

I subscribe to the theory the Rock DEMANDED it.

[(Anonymous)]

From Schafrillas' video:

https://schaffrillasproductions.fandom.com/wiki/They%27re_Making_a_Live-Action_Moana./Video_Script

https://youtu.be/O1RQdt-ZOEc?t=140

"Given the fact that The Rock was the one who announced this, a ton of people are speculating that he really pushed for this live-action remake to happen because of the commercial failure of Black Adam and the cancellation of all the DC products that he wanted to be a part of.

I don’t really follow the DCEU, but it seems like The Rock was really pushing for a lot of it to revolve around Black Adam. Except the movie bombed and got terrible reviews and now James Gunn is completely in charge and he likes making good movies, so it looks like The Rock’s little vanity project of a cinematic universe crashed and burned.

It’s been pretty well-documented that he’s one of the most egotistical people in Hollywood. Again, I wouldn’t really know. I don’t follow much of what he does outside of this one Disney movie I liked that happened to have him in it.

Well, the working theory from a lot of people is that he needs something to stroke his ego and make him a big star again, so he really insisted that Disney desecrate one of their more popular recent movies.

It all adds up. He likes fame. Disney likes money. It’s a win-win for everyone except people with brains. "

[(Anonymous)]

I always ask, "What is something new we can gain from a live action/new adaptation?" when I come across the new thing. Most times it's really just about money.
Shame because I really like Moana, but seeing how quickly it's turned into a cheap cash grab for Disney is pretty sad.

[(Anonymous)]

Well considering how they put the Moana tv series into the trash and turned it into the sequel movie, and how Disney likes keeping their IPs, it's just about cash.

[(Anonymous)]

Disney probably lost something like 0.001% of their total worth when Kimmel got temporarily cancelled, so they need your money so that they can keep kissing the ring. Just kidding, they want your money either way. And you'll give it to them.

I was never convinced by Tracy Scoggins as a military officer on Babylon 5. But I admit, I've never been convinced by her as an actor in anything at all. I know, just because you start as a model doesn't mean you can't also have solid acting chops, but it doesn't mean you can either. Scoggins just doesn't.

I wish DC had the balls to bring DogWelder into their movie-verse continuity.

[Bourne movies]

Transcript by OP

[fscom]

For all its faults, I liked that The Bourne Legacy had the guts to show the badass main character being absolutely terrified at the prospect of going back to his baseline cognitive function when the enhancements wear off. I know most people only showed up to the movies for Jason Bourne, but I was ready for something new.

I still ship Superman/Batman, but only them in the Justice League cartoon, and only if Batman bottoms.

I just want Dustin and Steve to die together. Like the Tsunami scene in Deep Impact. It would make me cry in a good way.

Transcript – Lisa Loeb “Do You Sleep?”

[(Anonymous)]

Look, this is the dumbest thing thing but the angriest I ever remember being when hearing my alarm clock go off in the morning was way back when radio alarm clocks were a thing and having mine go off right as the chorus to this song screamed “DO YOU SLEEP/DO YOU SLEEP ANY MORE” at my unsuspecting ears.

WELL NOT NOW I DON’T

over 20 years later and I still feel a flash of rage at hearing this song, lol
