if they rebooted austin powers it would either be the most tone deaf unfunny incredibly offensive movie in years OR they'd do it right and really keep with the times in being very self aware and it would be one of the best films in decades. austin powers would be a massive support of trans rights because trans women means more women for him to shag
sans undertale would not make i fucked your wife jokes. people want to make jokes about sans fucking asgore's wife but sans the character would NOT do that r you kidding me. you can cut the secondhand embarrassment with a knife every time they're in the same room together, sans likes the guy, i bet he feels genuinely kinda bad for asgore. he'd be like sorry about the dating your ex wife thing. to be fair she's a really cool ex wife. and asgore would be like (rescue shelter dog sigh) She is.
I don’t think you’ve done this one yet, but what do ya think of the first scene with the mario bros commercial?
We're going to get into some headcanon territory, so be prepared!
This commercial definitely has the vibe of two guys who said “let’s make a commercial!” but had no experience in film.
I'm calling it now: Mario wrote the script and Luigi wrote the jingle.
It starts out pretty professional looking during the song, with the moving shots and camera zooms. In the middle it gets a little messy with the overuse of green screens and the powerpoint-style scene transitions. By the end of the commercial it's all hard cuts and static shots that linger a little too long. You can see the already-limited budget run out before your very eyes.
Speaking of, it feels like they filmed the final few scenes in one take, especially that actress who flubbed the cue-card reading.
"It seems like the only thing that you haven't drained... is my bank account. ???" Oh, c'mon lady, that is a fantastic line.
The fake accents? The little yellow superhero capes? The terrible puns? I get the commercial is intentionally silly... but boy does it feel like something that was written at 2 a.m by the power of black coffee and foolhardy ambition.
Mario is quite the showman! Especially if he did these scenes in one take! He’s got great energy, good body language, and an enthusiasm in his line delivery that shines through the goofy accent. He doesn’t look uncomfortable, he’s chewing the scenery like a champ!
When Luigi has a script to follow, or when he’s doing something in tandem with his brother, he looks good! But whenever he’s directed to stand in the background without anything specific to do he’s so awkward.
He slips and nearly falls over when leaning against the van, and whenever he doesn’t know what to do with his body his go-to move is to just nod in agreement. He nods in agreement like... 3 times in one 35 second commercial.
I don’t think the hug at the end was part of the script given the way Luigi glances over at his brother, but he looks pleasantly surprised. His face immediately lights up as Mario finishes out the commercial by holding him in a side hug. 10/10, I'd hire them to destroy my house.
And as the camera zooms out, Mario and Luigi are seen embracing each other proudly while watching the TV. They're so darned happy with themselves. Absolute dorks.
As someone who has read Homestuck through its entirety and has friends who also did, I can confirm that if it wasn't for the fact that it accidentally became one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) fandoms out there in the early 2010s, it does NOT seem like the kind of thing that would be that profitable, at least not the original.
As someone indifferent to Homestuck I'm amused by the twitter discourse I keep seeing that "it turns out all hussie really cared about was making money" like okay some of what I'm hearing sounds like he was also a bad employer and that's something but they're still emphasizing him being profit driven as the BIG problem and like....did they really think Homestuck of all things was that much deeper, for that matter do they all assume every movie and video game and TV show they consume is baked with love by a little grandma
I'm sorry, what post?
I'm going to keep harassing you cause I have lots of train questions:
What's the deal with you and lesbians? As a lesbian I understand completely why, but what really set off the idea of "frick yeah, lesbians and trains"
The Lesbian Sex post started the thing
You rn
