re: apropos of nothing, my opinions on (not reviews of) all the star wars movies
@aescling there is this one moment in rey’s introduction scene where she is packing things onto her speeder and the camera angle changes like four times in three seconds and that is the kind of unnecessary bullshit which just completely turned me off of the film
like are you really so incompetent at holding a camera that you can’t do that in one shot
re: apropos of nothing, my opinions on (not reviews of) all the star wars movies
@aescling or, uh, Rey on Jakku i mean, fake!Tatooine
re: apropos of nothing, my opinions on (not reviews of) all the star wars movies
@aescling if you compare the scenes of Luke on Tatooine in episode iv with the scenes of Rey on Tatooine in episode vii, i think episode iv is far superior
if you compare the scenes of the death star destroying an entire planet in episode iv and the subsequent reaction with the scenes of the starkiller base destroying an entire solar system in episode vii and the subsequent reaction, i think episode iv is far superior
i feel like what you would call “interesting” i would call “gratuitous” lol; j.j. doesn’t know how to let a scene breathe

@aescling i think we have very different ideas of what constitutes good direction lol
this is bugging me all of a sudden, religion, sexism
@Moss@friend.camp anybody who has studied the history of feminism in the West knows that its successes are largely due to:
1. the political advantages offered in democratic societies to allowing a large number of women to vote (thus increasing the voter base), and
2. the political stresses during wartime when men have been unavailable to perform necessary labour on account of being overseas at war
the middle east is, by and large, a colonized region, not a colonizing one. it hasn't been given the opportunity to develop the same kinds of democratic structures (due to constant invasion) and hasn't had an equivalent of “sending all the men overseas for WWII”. so it's not surprising that feminism there hasn't played out the same way.
nothing to do with religion; it's frankly irrelevant to the conversation in light of these much bigger factors, most of which have been the result of offences by Christian nations
it's very nefarious to continually and perpetually act in ways which weaken the cause of feminism in the Middle East and then hold oneself up as the more feminist one
@aescling unfortunately the gays are afraid of crossdressing fics
