@packetcat some of the best punk is pop punk or folk punk and haters can hate

music is about reaching people

@packetcat i think for good reason a lot of alternative music subcultures are very wary of mainstream music appropriating from them without contributing back to the scene, and unfortunately this sensitivity sometimes extends to people who genuinely are a part of the movement but just do things a little bit differently :Eevee_sad:

“their money’s like a B-boy stance: it stays froze”

@witchfynder_finder i think it's one of those books where like, the scenario holds a lot of truth, so directors have a lot of freedom to then go and take that scenario and say “this is good” or “this is bad” with it

@witchfynder_finder anyway that's something i absolutely would hope and expect a film adaptation to modernize, especially considering where film is at right now, so if you got those vibes that's probably a good thing

@witchfynder_finder the west has been fucking things up in the middle east for a very long time

@witchfynder_finder regarding the book, i think its inspirations are drawn a little earlier, so like how the Romans were fucking up the East

@packetcat i think there are bits of both.

some technical aspects of music, like volume, or harmony/dissonance, or staccato/legato, or tempo, are pretty mechanical in nature and probably are widely understood across cultures, the same way that yelling or speaking quickly/forcefully is.

but other aspects (and sometimes including those same aspects) are more contextual. for example our idea of “solemn” in the west is inspired by Catholic church music. or playing quietly, which normally would be calm, can instead seem tense/anxious, the same way that a person can speak calmly but still convey that they’re furious.

zeraora seemed a little like @aescling bait but i mean the mom with the butch haircut was @Lady bait so i can’t complain

i choose you! basically felt rushed the entire time and contrarily, despite having a much larger cast and more complex storyline, the power of us never felt like things were moving too fast or too slow

i knew it was “well received” in the sense that of 6 extremely unnoteworthy reviewers, the majority liked it (making it the only “Certified Fresh” pokémon movie), but i was surprised at how good the general composition and direction was (it’s the first movie to not be directed by Kunihiko Yuyama) even if the script suffered from some flaws

Show thread

the power of us was actually a very competent movie
