People, actual fucking people, are watching scene after scene like this and are saying "bruuuh! best. movie. of. the. year"?
This is objectively bad. Someone with no idea about editing will notice it. My brain is on fire thinking that this is an OSCAR NOMINATED MOVIE! FUCK!
I JUST checked and the editor of #BohemianRhapsody is nominated for best editing. He's actually nominated.. ha...hahahaha...I'm gonna lose my fucking mind.
Wow, this blew up.
Well, here are two movies from 2018, that I wrote about, where the editing serves a narrative purpose:

In the first two weeks of January I've seen the return of two of the most ass-hat arguments around film and film criticism. One is "anybody can be a film critic" and two is "film critics are privileged bitches whining about early access to films".
Here are my conclusive thoughts.
First, lemme talk about the "anybody can be a film critic" part. Yes, anybody can be a film critic. Everybody should be a film critic. The playing ground is still dominated by upper class White people in USA & upper class people from Delhi, Mumbai, & Bengaluru in India.
If you don't fall into either of these categories, please come & talk about films. If your is under-represented in film & film criticism, please come. We need more diversity because that's the only way the general discourse around films and even the quality of films will improve.

Imagine living in the US of fucking A, talking about "going to the theatres only" (which has clearly become a case of affordability), & thinking that you're talkkng for the masses by dumping on the "elite" critics. @PostOpinions & @SonnyBunch, I'm sorry but fuck you for this.
Bro, just speaking about myself, I'm not some elite son of a bitch sitting on my throne made of gold giving out decrees to give screeners. IT IS MY FUCKING JOB. AND I'M TRYING TO DO THAT WITHOUT FUCKING DYING. I'm all for attacking my opinions cuz they're warped but what's THIS?
Also you wanna talk about leveling the playing field? Make movies affordable. Make theatres conducive for watching movies. Make the profession of film criticism equal for all so that over 80% of us don't have to scramble for accessibility to shit TO DO OUR JOB PROPERLY!

I just want movie/show PRs to know that I WANT to do reviews. I've a habit of not badgering people. Naturally that bleeds into my "brand" of professionalism. So I ask a max of 1-2 times for a screener. If they still ignore me, I just assume they hate me.
Aur kya karein?
Why do I have to ask for a screener every single time for every single movie or show? That too multiple times? If I've reviewed one thing, it means I'll review everything. Just put it on some email blast or WA broadcast and send it. How hard can that be? Seriously.
And what the hell is with this gatekeeping of certain IPs? "There are limited screeners for this". "There are limited interview slots for that". Chalo interview I understand. WTF are limited screeners? I just don't get the logic behind it. Please feel free to explain it to me.

1. As I sit here filing a complaint about the non payment of PF by Fork Media Group (FMG) since Oct 2019, I feel, nay, I WANT to talk about what went down during my 2 year stint there & how it sent me on a downward spiral full of depression & anxiety.
2. I joined @MashableIndia, which functions under FMG, back in April 2019. It was my first time moving out of Siliguri & I was excited, thrilled to live this new life. But I should have seen the red flags right in the beginning in the form of @KarrishmaModhy, the associate editor
3. Now, acc. to my limited knowledge, an editor is supposed to edit. Y'know. It's right there in the title. But I was given this mindblowing philosophy that since it's not possible to edit every copy, you just have to do it on your own.
She didn't edit any of my copies for 2 yrs.
