My heart every time I fire up Yakuza 0

purpurina ✨🪡@purpurinastitch· 6d

Sorry movies and @letterboxd.social

Distracted Boyfriend meme, an image of a man looks at the backside of a woman walking by while another woman, presumably his romantic partner, looks on disapprovingly.

The man is labeled “me,” the partner is labeled “Letterboxd,” and the other woman walking away is labeled “Yakuza 0”

If it bleeds we can kill it

Picture of the poster’s left hand with fluorescent green nail polish. The picture is taken with a wide angle lens and the hand is positions so it looked bizarre and alien like. The backdrop is an ambiguous white surface that drops into dark nothing

It’s been a long time since I did a left-handed drawing (I am not left-handed) And a bonus

Sloppy left-handed drawing of Vincent d’onofrio in men in black saying “sugar in water”

Me rooting for the Spurs except it says “sons” bc they’re all so much younger than me (Don’t be mean to me; San Antonio is literally my hometown)

This is how it showed up for me hahaha.

Screencap of the post this writer is referring to but instead of the carousel images referenced in the post it has a dark blue box that says “something new is here. This post has 5 photos. Update your app to see them all” with a button that would presumably lead you to the App Store on your phone to update the app.

Quoting to add alt text for the images; more info on the matter in the replies to the quoted post below

Instagram screencap of a post by @kiwisupreez; all images in this post are continued screencaps from the same post:

I've debated this for a long time. I've been holding a lot of weight over the past two years since the production of Obsession, so I'm going to say it as it is.
obssn was made for $750K and is projected to make $250M.
How much I made: $300/day as Art Director.
This came out to $6741.36 after taxes. No mileage.

I did know the rate beforehand and agreed to it, but atp I was living paycheck to paycheck.
This is the reality of most filmmakers especially those who work below the line.
We become a line in the budget sheet to keep as low as possible.
There were also crew on obssn who were volunteers, getting paid in gas and mileage.
This wasn't even paid on time, so to make a $250M grossing film, some of these amazing people had to come out of pocket to work on set.
I kick myself every single day for not flipping this production. I was encouraged not to and I naively listened.

As is the case for most low budget productions, everyone has to wear many, many hats. Though my official title is art director, I was also a PA, set dresser, graphic designer, background actor, driver, swing, and buyer. I was doing runs for the art dept (again, no mileage). I was shopping, loading, returning while the rest of the crew were on set (Thank you Jeff Barker for helping me during those times). I had to wrap Bear's House that was left an absolute mess without water or crafties left behind. I shopped an entire location (lan's house) and loaded the truck the same day for shoot the next day which also happened to be an overnight.
It took such a physical toll on my body that I kept losing weight, weighing 90lbs during this production.

I say all this to finally have my peace. I know this is bigger than Obsession (or Curry and his team, It's not about that). I know this is even bigger than the film industry. If you feel called to have this discussion w me, please do so. I'm willing to be wrong bc I know I'm probably missing information and my perspective is just a drop in the bucket.
if you were a crew member on obsession and feel called to share your rate, maybe we can turn a tide in the film industry.

“An LAPD gang?”

Two frames of Captain Kirk from Star Trek: The Animated Series. He moves his hand from the side of his face to covering his mouth, making it seem like he’s feigning surprise sarcastically

Pick a Bond villain from the pictures you already have on your phone.

What I mean when I say I have too much love to give:

Screencap of the poster’s letterboxd rating distribution. The majority of films are rated in the 4-5 star range. There are almost no films in the half star through 2 star range.

Screencap of a poem by the poster that reads:

I replaced one of your art prints hanging on my wall
Something new, something by a stranger

Your print is still in the frame behind it

I wasn’t ready to throw it away
I am not so dramatic as to burn it

But I also didn’t want to find some way of storing it
That results in your work taking up more space and effort in my life
