i will bite, approach with caution

lord of the rings really was lightning in a bottle. it shouldn’t have worked but by god it did. peter jackson, who had no filmmaking education and was mostly known for making low budget splatter movies, had no business going out and changing the movie industry like that but he did. return of the king showed up at the oscars and became one of the most awarded movies of all time. to this day it holds the record for the highest clean sweep. hollywood will keep trying to recreate that magic with bigger budgets and high profile actors and they will keep failing. i look at the state of these blockbusters where everything is smoothed over by soulless cgi and actors are acting opposite tennis balls and they will never hold a candle to the pure heart and soul and craft of the lord of the rings. every single person involved in that project loved being part of it and it fucking shows. i’m so thankful the stars aligned the way they did for these movies to happen like that.

I love environmental storytelling

Its fucking hieroglyphs with you people

The fact that Dr. Drakken canonically went to college with Kim Possible’s dad was already funny to me as a kid but now that I’m securely out of college it’s just gotten funnier and funnier to me. Like imagine having a teenage daughter who regularly beats the absolute hell out of the annoying dude from your college dorm.
