also literal film scholars can be film bros in the sense that they only write about the most famous "auteur" directors and ignore the really productive intersectional approaches to academic inquiry. like this feedback about the prof who took over the intro course at my old program
when I was in film school "film bros" were specifically a variety of mediocre man (usually cishet and white) with zero imagination that would just glom onto the most popular "auteur filmmakers" in the US, like Tarantino and the Coen Brothers and even Nolan, and poorly attempt to mimic these guys without any of the skill or craft knowledge to know what it even is that they're truly trying to mimic. I mean, I suppose it's always been a nebulous colloquial term but that's basically how we as people in film always understood it. and seeing it be mutated into a pejorative for anyone with a deeper interest in film beyond trending Hollywood features is actually kind of shit. literally the opposite of what was being criticized.
#no literalllyyyy when i say film bro i mean guy who only has an extremely skewed view of the film 'canon'#and refuses to engage in anything transgressive or experimental or feminist because they only think 'good movies'#are the ones that are high budget and successful in theatres#film bros are the guys who go 'wow i've never met a girl who likes movies before' and then lectures you about like truffaut or some shit#people who actually like any and all movies in a genuine and exploratory way#are just fans and ppl i can fw
i'm the guy who writes the books that the protagonist in supernatural horror movies frantically reads somewhere in act ii. job's pretty easy. lot of "legends of vampires have recurred all throughout human history" and "demonologists agree that the quickest way to un-summon a demon is to trap it in a cursed object". no citations of course; they don't pay me citation money. i had to learn html back in the early aughts when everyone started seeking their supernatural info on websites they found via top search engines like FINDLER and WEBSIGHT but that's died down now which is great because i didn't have it in me to pick up css. currently working on a new book about horses that are evil. it's called HORSES THAT ARE EVIL in all caps so the protagonist can find it quickly to yank off the library shelf. it will be published 35 years ago.

I think it’s soooo funny when men write rpf about real people and throw in a little gay thing. For some spice. Which is categorically false. They made it up in their head for their little moving picture. It’s even funnier when they do this about men who are still alive. David fincher said real life billionaire Eduardo saverin you are now gay for the purposes of my little movie. And then he turned around and said real life fbi profiler John Douglas YOU are now gay. For serial killers

Today’s little sketch: John Barrymore from When A Man Loves (1927). The film screenshot I took is too blurry to be a good profile pic so I painted it very quickly.
