i saw this disturbing scene in front of the media lab.
color (white) study of gaggle of literal shitbabies 2013
Ruby Rhod is one of my favorite characters in sci-fi ever because he is Luc Besson’s vision of the hetero sex symbol of the future: a flamboyant, emotionally labile man who wears skin-tight leopard print or decks himself in roses, a man who accessorizes with big jewelry and dabbles in cosmetics. And the ladies love him. Everything about him screams “gay” according to our stereotypes, but he’s portrayed as a 100% straight sexual dynamo.
Besson is one of the few directors I’ve seen who actually recognizes that our ideas of sexuality and gender performance might have changed drastically in the future.
He also has one of the most jarring entrances in a movie. Like the entire movie screeches to a halt because he bursts onto the scene well into the second act and it’s so strange and arresting and Bruce Willis is just like “what the fuck is even going on anymore?”
It’s p. great.
Reblogging for one of the most fabulous characters ever.
Bzzzzz!, “SUPER GREEN!”, and “He’s hotter than hot! He’s hot hot hot!” are some phrases that get thrown around here a lot.
Also Besson’s not flawless when it comes to like… some thematic issues but I am totally feeling this post.

uhmm please don’t confuse something that literally is of no importance with something that at least came up with some decent concepts.
yeah i like pinhole cameras too
like even if the situationists ONLY came up with the concept of derive that is obviously better than getting angry because you are doing really shitty paintings and don’t understand anything that art has done in like two centuries.

it’s a good thing most cartoonists don’t have money to look forward to then haha sob
agreed tho, the distribution cycle for basically all art has to and has started to change in light of the internet and the job of the next generation is to work out the kinks in the system such that it fulfills the achievable promise of democratizing the cycles of distribution, and to find a way to carry it over into print (at least for comics)
ya totally. the future looks bright, but at the same time gallerists, old art models, etc. are definitely pressing against this still in some ways. and concerns about “attention economy” become a really tired conversation because it often becomes about how to regain old modes of spectator-ship (galleries, museums, very limited settings) on the internet which feels like a good conversation to have but not in those terms. but ya. cool that we can chat about this stuff on the net.
i just made the best 6 posts ill ever made and ihope none of them get ANY notes
fuck that little guy go in the purple thing u ashoole
BREAKING NEWS: Yahoo! Inc. - recently after their $1.1 million purchase of the website - officially announce plans to ban “fandom”-related content on the blogging website Tumblr.com.
“Copyright laws on “fandom” content - things pertaining to popular TV shows, movies, games and books - should be much stricter,” Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer claims. “A lot of the animated GIFs, screen-caps and videos hosted on the website are in direct violation of copyright laws which could lead to the site’s eventual take-down unless proper action is immediately taken. This especially pertains to popular television shows such as Merlock, One Discretion, The Office, Lost, Evangelion and more”
