Remember, remember the Fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know in 1605 he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I’ve witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I’ve seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them.
what the fuck is going on with 2019? panic at the disco is on the radio, ryan ross performs northern downpour, fall out boy is going on tour with green day and weezer, the mcr account is being cryptic. emo really said i’m a bad bitch you can’t kill me, huh

EVANGELION:3.0+1.0 | EVA Pilots
Scenes from the leaked Shin Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 teaser
LMAO DREAMWORKS IS TRASH. As an Asian violinist who was excited about seeing this movie before, I just wanna say FUCK YOU. FUCK WHOEVER ALLOWED FOR THIS TO BE IN THE FINAL CUT. Dreamworks finally got the galls to make a movie starring an Asian girl and they decided to put in this Chinese imperialistic agenda against my country!! GREAT //s
For those who didn’t know: that above is the nine-dash line, a controversial and wildly false statement by China, claiming that the Eastern Sea (which belongs to Vietnam alongside other SEAsian countries) was actually their territory according to some obscure history that only they seem to remember - I wonder why. The whole thing an entire mess and a half, but it did die down some time ago. I honestly didn’t expect to see it again, let alone be reminded of it in this seemingly lighthearted family movie of a WESTERN company.
A lot of Vietnamese people are calling to boycott Dreamworks and for this, I completely understand why. They should’ve known better, there’s no excuse to this.

discountalien-pancakeUgh I was so fucking excited about this movie and now I’m sickened.
Further context: China is trying to claim those waters because they contain lucrative oil deposits and they want to drill in Vietnam’s waters. In enforcing that false territory, they routinely bully fishing boats with fucking warships.
raccoonskoodilypoopdungeonThey’ve also bullied the Philippines because the West Philippine Sea contains similar respurces. They have also routinely bullied fishing boats with warships. It’s gotten so bad that Japan has agreed to patrol the waters to make sure China stays in Chinese waters and isn’t going into Southeast Asia.
And remember how China'a been making concentration camps for Muslims? They’ve intentionally removed Mindanao, an island with a predominantly Muslim population, from the maps in the movie.
Please do not support this film in anyway. Filipinos are also boycotting it.
Please reblog and spread.
danxcentrixHad to go digging for the title of the movie, which is Abominable, because the above neglect to even mention it…
theworldisalive“The new movie is a joint production of China-based Pearl Studio and the American company DreamWorks Animation.”

disneycriticalWanted to reblog with this information since it adds context to the situation.
Here’s it’s official description of Pearl Studio from Google:
Pearl Studio is a Chinese film production company owned by CMC Capital Partners. The company was founded as a Chinese-American joint venture in 2012 by DreamWorks Animation and Chinese investment companies.
He's correct and he should say it.
therealkltI’ve been trying to ignore the comments on this post for days, but we’re going on 10k notes, now, and I’ve had a bit too much MCU Stans Being Willfully Ignorant And Purposely Misinterpreting Quotes this morning, so let’s take a crack at this.
First of all, it’s not an attack on genre films, generally. It’s not even an attack on a genre of film, specifically. He didn’t speak about “superhero movies” as a whole, like Ridley Scott or James Cameron have in the recent past (although, let’s face it, the genre is synonymous with Marvel at the moment, anyway). He expressly targeted Marvel films; the MCU in particular. Gee, I wonder why.
He also didn’t say that they were “bad”, he called them theme parks. You read that superficially and assumed that he meant, “Things that are fun” but what he actually meant was, “Things that are built with the soul purpose of funneling people into seats to be optimally profitable.”
It’s very amusing to me that you folks will log on Tumblr to hem and haw about late stage capitalism, but then leap at the chance to defend your favorite Mickey Mouse production from the scary old man who’s been trying his best to make good films for 50yrs. What good, respectable consumers!
Lastly, he refers to cinema as “human beings trying to convey emotional, and psychological experiences to other human beings,” and you guys all either went, 1) “Cinema just means it’s a movie played in a theater, hurr hurr hurr,” 2) “Thor almost cried one time when he planet blow up,” or 3) “That’s pretentious! Everything is art! My cheerios are art!” and again this is missing the point.
When you watch a Marvel film, a writer didn’t decide that he had something interesting to say about Frog Man and pen a script, and then a director didn’t get to take said script and produce a work through their own artistic lens. A boardroom full of people in suits sat around and decided which licensed properties they already owned the rights to would be most profitable, and how it would fit into the conveyor belt of content they’d already pre-designed, and then they controlled every single aspect of that production, down to tone and color grading. And if you don’t believe that, ask Edgar Wright.
Martin Scorsese gave you guys an incredibly milquetoast, obvious criticism of movies you slurp down, and it made you all fume, but what you should be mad about is that you’re forced to consume fast food art when you could, just as easily, be getting filet mignon with the same genre and character roster.
Everyone likes to bring up Black Panther, but can you imagine a world where the incredibly talented Ryan Coogler hadn’t been handcuffed by a corporation. Can you imagine the movie that could have been?
Marty Scorsese: marvel movies aren’t cinema, they’re more like theme parks
Marvel directors: that’s not true! Stop gatekeeping! What I make is real art!
Marvel exec: ok here’s your list of which characters have to die in this one, and here’s five pre-animated action sequences. Work a story in between them or don’t, we don’t really care, just don’t mention gay people in any scenes that can’t be easily cut for international distribution. Also this one’s being sponsored by a car company so make sure there’s a full-body shot of one of the heroes dramatically standing in front of one of the cars, with the logo clearly visible, for them to use in their tie-in commercial.
Marvel directors: yes sir mr disney sir
excuse me officer i would like to report a murder
