High School Musical and the Gaslighting of America?s Youth

quote [ The shift from physical media to streaming didn?t create the phenomenon of retroactively editing a piece after airing. It?s a favorite hobby of George Lucas. Nor is it limited to film and television; The Nancy Drew novels were revised in the late ?50s to remove racist caricatures. This is a well-intentioned, if ahistorical version of this. ]

Unwinnable has a Disco Elysium special which made me stumble over this non-disco-elysian musing over how pop culture is getting revised in the making.

She (1935)

quote [ She (1935) it appears to be a typical 1930s adventure movie but at the same time it is not, it does have something special about it. I felt a total of about 15 minutes of this movie was magical, done with great love and care. The scenography is pretty good during the whole second half. The story is about love with juxtaposing immortality and mortality, so has some vampiric romance elements to it. Of course there are plenty of flaws, as expected from a 90 years old movie. ]

Via Mastodon gamedev movie recommendations. Main link goes to internet archive. Campy film made of a 1887 Gothic novel.
