But that’s before these all became blockbusters used as PR pieces heavily overseen by the estates…I just wanted to make a movie about a band I liked and thought “what’s the best story?” I don’t think that’s ever happening now with these. Best of luck to Mendes though!

Basically take the Love & Mercy route, explore the most important moments of their mythos, the breaking point, where the pressure mounts and partnerships end. Like The Last Dance but only the parts on that final season.

All of their former bonds and memories are at most fleeting glimpses and flashes in conversation. Have it end by cutting to them tuning their instruments in silence before going out on the rooftop with text saying how their careers went, walk out… CREDITS, SUN KING SUITE

When I was a teenager, before Bohemian Rhapsody blew up the box office, I felt I had the perfect formula for telling this story…and it was the exact opposite of this. You set it exclusively after India, during White Album and Get Back sessions, follow the disintegration.

I have no idea what to feel about Markus Schleinzer’s Rose.

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Man, they just didn’t give me a fork and I’m hungry and walking around, I’ll get some paper towels, I know where my own hands have been.

Turns out, it doesn’t matter that it’s traditional, if you walk around with chicken tikka masala you got at a street vendor eating with your hands bc you got no cutlery, the white people of the festival will look at you like you’re fucking stupid.

Honestly as much as I enjoyed it and agreed with it, it is funny how much of All of A Sudden is basically a Ryûsuke Hamaguchi Shark Tank pitch about the benefits we’d have in a utopian anarchist communal society. Like it is so close to just being a TED Talk.

It is starting to feel like I’m trapped in that too like a heroin addict coming back for a fix hoping it’ll be like it was 9 years ago when I started.

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

No other website provides the wide audience of it…it’s just that that wide audience is like 70% crazy people.

Unfortunately they outnumber the sane people on there and yet…we are in a Cold War of trying to wade through them to get to the normal people who won’t LEAVE

I made fun of the assertion that genderbent Draco Malfoy fanfiction deserved the Nobel Prize more than Anne Carson, due to a poem they didn’t even read, only gazing at a small excerpt on Twitter, and assuming it was just about her vagina. I don’t care about the finer details if they don’t. Fuck em.

1270

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

They’re saying that’s what they just gave the Nobel prize for literature bc they can’t understand Anne Carson and assumed it’s the Vagina monologues bc they think that’s all that women do.

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I am getting yelled at on the other site for criticizing the right wing reverence of Harry Potter fanfiction. “It’s not smut, it’s slow burn romantasy, and it’s better than foid vagina poems.” The most you will ever contribute to society is when you decompose, and we suffer until then.

I will say “The Crack Smoking Kidnapper Who Released 347 Albums in One Year” is a weird story to tell tonally. Like there’s shit like this to gawk at but then you do have to remember this ended with women trapped in his basement for years while he did this.

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

…okay so I did not know about that one, HOLY SHIT

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

There’s a lot of things that come to mind when it comes to Viper. You’ll Cowards Don’t Even Smoke Crack. The 347 albums in one year. His career ending with kidnapping and rape charges. But I first found out about him when he refused to pay a video editor and so he got this.

Admittedly I was fighting for chump change, vid barely hit 4K, I made only $40 after spending over $100. I risked a lot on the idea they wouldn’t bother to fight…things may be different with 2.8M views, I don’t know.

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Basically you risk them escalating it to a takedown and then you’re risking being taken to court over it…which I imagine might be a different situation than me on release vs a video out for two years.

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

This happened to me with the I Saw the TV Glow video…it instantly got dispute rejected. But that was on release, so I had made zero dollars on it and it hadn’t released, so I said “fuck it” and counter-claimed and that eventually just lapsed and wasn’t worth it for A24…but that IS risky.

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Hey everyone! I’m here at @iffboston.bsky.social Fall Focus at the @brattletheatre.bsky.social with the first film of the festival, Possible Love, the latest by Lee Chang-Dong!

Oh film twitter HATES Iñárritu. I’ve watched people call him an idiot and say he’s an unfunny, pretentious misanthrope.

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

You’re taking Boyhood over any of the Before trilogy? Over Dazed and Confused? Over Slacker? Over Waking Life? Now for some of you, maybe you would pick it over some of them…but all of them?

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Alright, already feeling that weird anger coming back reading the film’s Wikipedia and seeing the sentence “Since its release, it is widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made.” ALRIGHT NO IT IS NOT, ITS NOT EVEN TOP 5 LINKLATER COME ON

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I think a lot of that disdain came from the perfect metacritic and rotten tomatoes scores with the writing being kinda bland and by the books outside of its conceit, while I saw Birdman as having a similar showmanship, but with a story I felt a lot more and cared about.

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

And I’ve carried that opinion ever since, that this is good but it’s kinda middling Linklater…while my take of loving Birdman has needed more intense defending online every year. I wonder what I’ll think now…

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Watching Boyhood for the first time in years. My first big year paying attention to film was 2014, so a lot of my first awards season fight between Boyhood and Birdman. I was thoroughly part of camp Birdman, and was throwing around the taunting “IT TOOK 12 YEARS TO MAKE!”

Great art is coming out and evolving all the time, it’s just that we’re prone to missing things in the moment that later we’ll realize were revelatory. But there’s so much unique stuff being made.

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Obviously a lot of my favorites are older bc you go through history, the best stuff rises up and gains noteriety, but I mean my concept of musical storytelling does not evolve the way it does without hearing this at 16 by one of the biggest artists of even now, recommended to me by an online critic.

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

It was literally 15 years of mostly alt rock radio listening and then suddenly this…and I guess that opened me up to more weirder music

AdequateEmily @adequateemily.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

It’s true though! First time I heard Death Grips at 15 I thought people were pretending to like them, and then I just kept coming back and liked it more each time until they became one of my favorite bands within a few months.
