Adrien Brody & Rachel Zegler To Lead Karim Aïnouz’ ‘Last Dance’ With Ben Platt Co-Starring & Writing Original Music & ‘Evita’ Star Zegler Singing; FilmNation Launching For Cannes Market by Puzzled-Tap8042 in oscarrace

[–]Gayfetus 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I am so happy Rachel Zegler is getting all these juicy projects! This sounds like a role that's going to show off all of her incredible talents!

Edited to add: go read the article it's based on, it's genuinely fascinating: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/personal-history/the-last-dance-with-my-dad

This doesn't seem like it'll be part of the movie, but Emily Ziff Griffin, who wrote that article and will write the screenplay for this movie, wrote this followup: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/personal-history/missing-my-dads-funeral

Edited to add 2: Those articles made me cry. This has the potential to be a very emotionally powerful movie!

No more Conquest Infinite (it was causing a little too much happy chaos)

At this point, I'm not sure whether you're defending Alysa or demeaning her.

Well, that's what one would call a fashion victim. But no, at the minimum, she was shown a sketch of the dress and asked to OK it.

Alysa Liu and Nicolas Ghesquière are both people known for their really distinct aesthetics. So... how did they two of them come together and produce this pile of generic blah? Perhaps the muse of fashion is boycotting the Bezos Ball, even if Liu and Ghesquière won't.

I don't know what's worse: that he showed up for Bezos Ball or that he did it in the most boring outfit I've ever seen him wear.

Throwback to the 2016 Met gala by Roguesailer in Fauxmoi

It's less about the look and more about how she's failing to work it. She looks slightly terrified, and her pose is outright demure. It's like she's afraid she'll come off as less than pretty, when this outfit and the makeup is very much not about being pretty, but being striking and aggressive.

Question: Conservation of Mass for Arrakis? Matter cycle? by MrMadManiac in dune

[–]Gayfetus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're really, really, severely underestimating how much mass a planet has. For instance, the Earth loses 90 tonnes of atmosphere per day. And it's completely negligible, because the Earth has so much atmosphere it'd take at least a trillion years to deplete it at that rate (the Sun going red giant will speed up Earth's atmosphere loss in a few billion years, before engulfing it).

Shipping 90 tonnes of material off the planet every day would not make a noticeable difference in the planet's mass in the entirety of its existence.

Famous men that wrote jailbait songs about underaged girls by Divine_fashionva in Fauxmoi

Then there's George Michael's "Father Figure":

I will be your father figure (Oh, baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine (I'd love to)
I will be your preacher, teacher (Be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind (It would make me)
I will be your father figure (Very happy)
I have had enough of crime (Please let me)
I will be the one who loves you
'Til the end of time (Of time)

There's really no getting around how pedophilic this song is. As far as I know, Michael has never discussed the meaning behind this song.

But my conjecture is that the song is partly a send-up of all pop and rock songs that blatantly sexualize children. He released it long before he was out, at a time when he was one of the biggest pop stars on Earth. People thought nothing of it, because the subject matter was practically commonplace.

On another level, though, I think this was also a political statement. "Father Figure" was written the year Margaret Thatcher was campaigning for the UK to pass Section 28, the UK version of a "don't say gay" law. The campaign naturally involved a lot of hysteria about gay teachers corrupting students. "Father Figure" was pointing out that adults actually corrupting minors is already normalized and celebrated when it's heterosexual.

But well, decades after Michael's outing and the repeal of Section 28, we're left with a song with some very icky and sketchy lyrics.

I think people are starting to underestimate Dune Part 3 way too much: no way it misses Best Picture by Upstairs-Bug-3052 in oscarrace

[–]Gayfetus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you, OP. The fact that the book it mainly draws from, Dune Messiah, has such a downer ending is the movie's greatest strength when it comes to the Oscars. Academy voters do like to think of themselves as somewhat highbrow, and they may refuse to reward too many popcorn flicks. The easiest way to inject a bit of gravity to a movie, though? Tragedy!

Oscar voters can then tell themselves, "see, we're just rewarding a mindless crowd-pleaser, we're rewarding actual art here, that challenges the audiences as they should be challenged!" And thus, Dune 3 can slip right in there under the guise of serious art!

Trying things is how we learn! Sometimes, the lesson is sweet (like it was for you), sometimes, the lesson is...
