silence

@lastelmoonearth @alicemoodyy @murielswedding_ it really wasn't my intention to come off as argumentative like that, so i'm sorry that i did. my intention stems from knowing how many people, friends or otherwise, talk about culture with such conviction and still keep identity in mind. it's a bit nebulous and contextual, ig

okay you’re right maggie gyllenhaal, chloe zhao, emerald fennell, celine song, greta gerwig (late career), nia dacosta (before she did a decent job at y’all’s zombie franchise movie), and now ducournau all just happen to organically be the laughingstocks of the film twitter

@lastelmoonearth @alicemoodyy @murielswedding_ misogynists will make themselves known!!! calling someone's directorial work worthless makes you known as someone who just cares about the films they're watching to a farther extent than most, as is with every culture ever

@lastelmoonearth @alicemoodyy @murielswedding_ a lot of people are going to be calling the work of men worthless, and proportionally more people are going to be calling the work of women worthless. it's ultimately a common turn of phrase, so those who are misogynists will have to be outed through more explicit posts

@lastelmoonearth @alicemoodyy @murielswedding_ to be clear i already had op blocked before he even made the tweet, so you probably can find something incriminating in his post history 😭 my concern is the response to the linguistics of the post. if you have that suspicion, confirm it with something more concrete!

@lastelmoonearth @alicemoodyy @murielswedding_ i think ur misreading her response, she said that male directors get similar backlash to the original tweet, which is true! women are obv treated infinitely worse than men in the film industry... but this dismissive language isn't indicative of misogyny without individual context

@lastelmoonearth @alicemoodyy @murielswedding_ i feel like responding to a random woman in this context with the idea that "whatever trashy art u make" will face even more misogynistic threats is both understanding the point and missing it entirely

@lastelmoonearth @alicemoodyy @murielswedding_ i think the misconception that got people to this argument is bc an opinionated tweet calling someone's recent directorial work worthless is being taken as actual criticism of an artist's womanhood. op could be a misogynist but this tweet is not the indicator

my point is that both archival work in the form of preservation and the accessibility of films to a worldwide audience is important. preservation requires money, piracy circumvents that, and yet here we are. there is a tension that is held there, and it's one that can be improved

"preservation" or "access" being reoriented to "whatever stuff this guy on twitter wants to reupload" isn't making things more accessible... maybe people should learn about torrenting to grant themselves the freedom to access art without being filtered through a corp or some neet

if all the big upload accounts pivoted the conversation from preservation to access then this would be a lot more fruitful and a lot less embarrassing. should also be aware 90% of them are reuploading marty supreme web-dl mkvs and not fine restos of a film's single degrading copy

you: piracy is not preservation, it's unethical distribution.... guy who can't put his credit card into the criterion channel site because he has a hook for a hand: ye may well be calling me the arrr word!

@oceana_roll the general response to this tweet is so crazy. i think people might actually be scared of a little dvd

I think it’s so weird when people only buy boutique blurays. Is somebody scared of a little DVD?

Hi there, I made a folder of Jean-François Stévenin's films (Passe Montagne, Double Messieurs, Mischka) including two interviews. In the following reply is a conversation between Pedro Costa and Stévenin uploaded by Thiago (great channel) transfer.it/t/xwc8YyhxXL7Q Hope you enjoy

sandy wexler might be the ugliest film i have ever seen. it is a miracle. makes sense he would go on to post the second photo here on ig just a couple months after it came out.
