No-one ever sees Dorothy and "Tootie" together at the same time - is that too subtle a reference?

A random thought about movies, I'm wondering if one main reason for their popularity and obsession from their fans is how they have to interact other art forms.  People who think that way would see them as inferior minor pieces of a whole.

Music is part of the soundtrack, a huge percentage of stories come from books or plays, actors certainly came from theater and comedy.  Paintings are part of the set design and coloring while comics are used as storyboards.  You can see the effect, people from all those fields moved to Hollywood to find work there.  Music depended on videos for a few decades, not entirely a movie influence, television in general needed to crank out as much as possible and at its peak was certainly a clever form of entertainment in its own right.

I am irritated by how comic books have become basically about making movies-on-paper, specifically the way they've eliminated thought balloons and captions as much as possible.  If there are captions, it's a character narrating and I'm boggled by the outright elimination of what each character is thinking at a given moment.  Books don't eliminate thought and comics shouldn't either.  It enhances the stories, shows the characters, demonstrates them saying one thing and thinking another.  Movies can't do that by their very nature, why be more like them?

There are valid artistic reasons to do so on a given project.  I would probably blame Alan Moore and Frank Miller for it in the first place.  I just flipped through Moore's early work and Swamp Thing and Miracleman were the only ones who used captions as narration, not just a character speaking off-panel.  Even then it wasn't used that often, at least not in what I looked at.  V For Vendetta and Watchmen only had captions as dialogue.  Dark Knight had no thought balloons and didn't seem to have much in captions that weren't Batman speaking.  Looking through Daredevil, I was surprised to see a fair amount of both, probably had fewer than other Marvel comics of the time but that's just Miller's style.  He certainly had to go along with Jim Shooter's policies.

Anyway, I can't figure out where such thinking comes from but it seems quite obvious that people would see movies as a superior art form and part of the reason is that because they made use of all the lesser-arts.

I'm also trying to figure out how to describe how movies work in the first place.  If comics are art-in-space, movies are art-in-time.  There's obviously something appealing about watching people who operate in some similar ways to theater but have different camera angles, mechanical effects and multiple opportunities for the same incident being filmed.  I'm even less of a theater fan than I've ever been of movies/tv so that's where my speculation runs out.

I'm beginning to think actors are fundamentally flawed people although emphasizing different aspects of personality and following direction are natural human traits.

I'm assuming we're going to eliminate the embassy in Jerusalem before too long.  Biden may have been one of the 76 Senators co-sponsoring the 1995 law to move the US embassy there but he's definitely not about following his own laws, only little people have to do that.

We now have troops in Syria on the ground.  The report seems to be that we're fighting Iranian-backed militias but I'm skeptical, Biden and Obama were huge suck-ups to Iran.  They eagerly supported Iran having nukes.  At least several thousand more troops are also being sent to the Middle East in general.

Obviously Israel is going to be attacked, it's just a matter of time.  Muslims have had a lot of time to plan this and they didn't like Trump.

Otherwise, they're in the process of making election-theft permanent, one of Biden's executive orders specifies skin colors as having no limitations on voting whatsoever because they're such helpless creatures that only Democrats can tell them what to do.  And of course they're also threatened by "misinformation" which Democrats are the sole judge and prosecutor of.

By an amazing coincidence, they do not include other places that get their financial problems fixed to fight a virus.  Only these two areas where the leaders came from will get anything, everyone else is screwed but at least their money is taken away to pay for this.

This is basically how feudalism works, the monarch provides for the barons who support him and they run their own regions.  And they want Washington DC to be the same way, even more than it already is.  I do assume they'll change the name before too long.  They wouldn't permit East Texas or North California to have those rights though.

I'm just making a note of this, people have finally found a way to react after several months of watching the fall.  You can now self-identify yourself as "Super-Straight," a brand-new sexual orientation of only being attracted to cisgender men or women.

It makes sense, why would there be people who aren't allowed to be only sexually attracted to people born in a certain gender?  Everybody else gets to pick their preferences, that's so unfair.  But now they can unite and fight for their rights to be treated like everyone else, the very people who silence anyone that disagrees with their oppression.  There's so much slander and hatred coming from the left.

What are they going to do, say you can't pick your own sexuality?
