"I don't identify as a woman. I identify as a non-binary person. Using the correct pronouns for non-binary people is as political as Gyanesh Kumar's resignation is for me," said student activist Neha Bora, objecting to the media incorrectly addressing them using she/her pronouns.

If cyberpunk 2077 was made by an Indian gaming company that cow would have an affiliation 😂

I have a Superman. His name is David Corenswet.
Henry Cavill on possibly returning as SUPERMAN amid the DC Studios shakeup “As the pigeon sang to Fievel in An American Tail, ‘never say never.’ And I buy into that... I’ve had such a wonderful time playing Superman in the past. I would never say never now.” (Via Inverse)

IMO this and other write-ups in independent media on the insane censorship this regime is on and its encroachment of private art spaces including film festivals are important documentations of the fascist rule we live under. Will be historically relevant

The Cinematograph Act really needs to go. Its surprising to me that no opposition manifesto ever contains this, along with a complete reform of CBFC given how its weaponized to support ruling govt Censorship is at brutal levels. Good stuff by @LunkyFallow article-14.com/post/no-safe-…

Also Fuck AI. And it is the goddamn need of the hour that filmmakers disclose any use of Gen AI in their films. When I pay to watch a film in the theatres I do not want to see a single fucking frame of it on the big screen.
🧵 about “Scene” and a theory I’ve long held regarding cinema. Cinema as a medium for me has always been a kin to a magician’s act. The magician/filmmaker distracts you by saying hey look at this cool shit over here and quietly pulls the rug under you the audience.

I have seen a lot of cool magic trick films in my time but unless they pull that metaphorical rug under me and give me something tangible to think about on the way back home other than “what a cool shot or what a cool character”, I’m just not impressed anymore.

“Scene” is vapidly empty for me on both these fronts for me. It is a very well packaged magic trick of a film that has a lot of cool shit in it.

Even on a thematic level both the earlier films by nature of almost exclusively having lonely male characters for me became movies that were poking at exploring the ideas of the male id, ego and superego.

In both Romancham and Aavesham there is at least an implied depth (through choices in writing and performances by the actors) for the characters for me as an audience to latch on to and fill in the blanks myself.

Every character is designed from a pov of “oh it would be so cool to have character like this” with no layers to them. They felt like the same note of music played again and again that they became grating for me even though I liked how they started and were introduced.

This is exactly what Jithu’s “Scene” failed to do for me. Every character, scene and shot has a cool design idea behind it but nothing underneath them for me to take home.

This for me is the very essence of what filmmaking and cinema is. A lot of filmmakers while adept at the distraction aspect of the magic trick they forget/ignore that they have to pull on that metaphorical rug to leave your audience with something tangible they can take home.

Went to watch “Scene” and saw a whole family coming to the multiplex without footwear to watch that AI Kirk movie.
