is twitter and/or insta worth it for art-related stuff or no? after a brief stint with various tracking apps a few years ago (think airbuds, storygraph, etc.), I've become pretty anti-social media, but part of me wonders...

Can't speak on Insta, but Twitter is still where I find people posting their art... even if most days it's an AI demoralization op. (Probably a problem everywhere)

most artists i follow usually use both, i’m guessing to give their art as much publicity as possible considering how many people use em

IG and Twitter is still where it’s at, unfortunately... I still wish Cara took off but it’s a ghost town last time I checked and Bluesky is fine enough but nowhere near the reach you get when you’re on IG/Twitter.
theres a show and/or film, where they put solar panels across the sahara desert, and its mentioned really offhandedly, but there's pay-off to it at the end, but i can't remember the name of said show/film/other - does anyone know? please end my torment

i haven't watched weapons nor am i the biggest horror fan (#wuss) but i can see where u're coming from... idk, generally speaking i feel like so many films that come out nowadays want to hold the viewers hand (showing not telling and wtv) horror especially. and imo gore is such a cheap way to get a scare, unless it's done "right"? i'd assume it's just the shock factor of it all

+ i'd love to hear ur thoughts on the backrooms movie, i enjoyed it quite a lot but the ending in particular left me feeling stumped, wanting more, and mildly pissed off LOL

backrooms annoyed me so much, because the ending was so clearly sequel-bait, and it had such a strong first half like why couldn't they keep that energy for the whole film ughh

and i'm so done with the whole 'show not tell' because at this point they aren't showing or telling anymore. i don't mind gore, but especially with weapons it just felt so repetitive and predictable. like, well done, you have a great sfx team, now what? honestly, even midsommar had too much gore for me, because at that point you can tell when a director is using it for shock value instead of putting effort into

integrating it with the main story. not a horror film, but a movie in which i actually liked the gore was Bugonia, because they managed to integrate it into the narrative well. to be honest, i feel like the weapons prequel has more potential than weapons itself, so hopefully that's marginally better
