I tried to watch that Haptic vs Optic Filmmaking video that's floating around and man is that some hot non-sense.
Here's the super easy reason why Jurassic Park "feels more real" than Jurassic World: Rebirth and it has absolutely nothing to do with visuals.
You care about the characters.

If you’re a slur you gotta get out in the real world and hang out with the other slurs. Even or sometimes especially if they’re not the same slur(s) as you

She is the only woman running in a field of 14 men.
She’s tough. She’s real. She knows what she’s doing.

What concerns me is not that Democrats will compromise on something like trans athletes--that question is at SCOTUS now and thus beyond their reach anyway. What concerns me is that I hear far more about what rights of mine they're willing to sacrifice and very little about what rights they'll defend

I had a judge presiding over one of my cases ask me if I had been a defendant in one of his cases because he recognized me. I was like nope. I'm counsel. I was dressed impeccably in a vintage Calvin Klein suit that I'd paid way too much money for. It happened in 2005ish and I still think about it.

Unless we get admin officials or legislation targeting trans people referencing the shooter, I do not feel a need to cover the identity of a monstrous murderer. The same people who hated us before hate us today and will tomorrow.

4. But the “social contagion” scare is one we’ve seen before with LGBT communities. Conservative groups and politicians have spent a lifetime pushing the homophobic myth that being gay is merely the product of social conditioning; that it is a deviant behavior that can and should be snuffed out.

Again, I am staking out my position more than 3 years in advance! My "demands" for getting my vote are simple:
1. Promise to undo the anti-trans actions taken by the Trump admin.
2. Promise not to roll back trans rights even further.

Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

Maybe at some point we ought to examine how uncritical consumption of corporate IPs tuned to mass-market appeals and childhood nostalgia forms the core of a reactionary politics, because people would rather be cozy and cute and inoffensive than disturb the 'peace' of an unjust status quo.
apparently people on tumblr are doing a "hogwarts legacy pride week" (where they're sharing LGBTQ-themed hogwarts legacy content) how about you not do that let's stop trying to pretend like it is possible to make pro-LGBTQ content out of that franchise
