    If you have your character compare themselves to Kunta Kinte, and by extension your work compares their struggle to Kunta Kinte's

    You

    You know what I'm not sure where I can take that. I want to say something smart but where the fuck do you even go when you draw parallels between Peter Griffin as a Stuffed Animal and Roots?

    I mean if it's played as absurdity, like it's obvious that you're supposed to think it's ridiculous and that's where the humor comes from, it can potentially work if handled right

    If it's somehow played straight or even doesn't push it far enough, then yeah...sounds like shit

    We just got back from Inside Out.

    That was a very good movie, and also had some of the best visual metaphors for depression I can imagine. The story about the growing complexity of our emotional well-being as we age, the way memories color each other, the concept of
    forgetting what it's like to feel joy, or to care about family and the other things you used to love
    , all of it was just so good

    And Joy may be one of the best character designs I've ever seen for how much she communicates in as few details as possible

    That said
    The movie did end with Lucy giving Morgan Freeman the USB Drive of Everything. So maybe the sequel will deal with what was on it, and maybe giving what Lucy had to everyone so they can also evolve?

    So apparently people are getting upset with Jurassic World about the line "There's a Pachy out of containment" in because it sounds like an ethnic slur against Pakistani people, and they haven't heard of a Pachycephalosaur

    37 And they were thrust down, and thus came the devil and his angels;

    Finally got around to seeing Jurassic World.

    It was super terrible but still pretty fun. Not quite enough to balance it out though. I would not be upset if I never saw it again.

    Weird. That was my exact experience.

    Although before that I went from It Follows to Avengers to Fury Road, and that was a nice classic, good but not exceptional, classic pattern.

    You seen It Follows? Maybe the best movie I've seen this year. Fierce competition, mind.

    Oh, man. It Follows is so good. It's... well, it's a horror movie. Brilliant shot framing. Tension like anything. And a soundtrack that just oozes timeless style.

    It's a sleep with the lights on kind of movie, too. So good.

    What year is is It Follows set in? Because I was watching it, and it feels like a period piece, and then a character whips out a cellphone.

    modern day, it's just that the suuuuper john carpenter score + the very deliberate, slow camera work + the dilapidated detroit aesthetic are very purposefully evoking the America of like 70s/80s horror movies
