Ok Fella posted:I like Gilliam quite a bit but this one was just wasn't doing it for me. Listen, I survived Tideland. I'll take this instead. Eraser Talk: what a lazy gently caress movie. Bad guys want to sell/keep secret a giant magic gun deal. What do they do? Use it constantly. Oh and textbook C effort James Caan and a subvillian with implied rape goals. Its weird how PG this movie is but then that just pops in. After "In like Flint", and "Our Man Flint" it saddens me to see James Coburn underutilized.

I was about say any movie where Arnold dives out of a plane without a parachute is great, but then I remembered he did it recently in a movie I didn't like so much.

Gyre posted:What are some nice feel-good movies/series that aren't too schlocky? I've been very depressed and anxious lately and I thought that watching Master of None would cheer me up, only to be sucker-punched by the season finale. I can handle drama, but right now it has to be like Disney where you know everything will turn out okay. It was up on netflix instant for ages but isn't on right now. Worth finding it though. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Mar 25, 2016 |

The hosed up thing with Grimm was that of his recent films it was the closest in look and tone to his older films, but with zero charm or decent acting. It was so close to being classic Gilliam, but with every little thing hosed up just enough that the whole becomes a complete piece of garbage.

Watched the new Pee-Wee movie last night. Really liked it. First time I've seen any Pee-Wee stuff. To me, it's a pro-queer, pro-nonvanilla, pro-be-your-weird-self movie with an optimistic outlook on people in general. All set in a fun world where anything's possible. For kids and adults. Kids and adults need to hear that stuff sometimes! I'm gonna watch more Pee-Wee now.

It was weird that in general it felt like a good kids movie, but had a couple of parts that were probably a little too racy for young kids. I liked it, though it dragged a bit after the jumped out of the plane.

If you can find his original HBO special from the 80s it's also great, especially when viewed through the lens that a stage show targeting adults that satirized children's entertainment wound up becoming a legit children's entertainment franchise.

Whereas in the 80s people had a working knowledge of it from tv reruns and other parody, and most adults remembered it. Now it seems like something kids won't understand because they've never seen it anywhere else. "The past" is now like 1970-1985. It's like Reubens' aesthetic judgment is frozen where it was when he was 28.

Now it seems like something kids won't understand because they've never seen it anywhere else. The fact that it was directed by a Wonder Showzen guy instead of Tim Burton probably didn't help. In general it reminded me a bit of a (much cheaper) version of the aesthetic of The Muppets, and it even had a few of the same gags like the town population sign going down when the protagonists leaves.

Apparently a lot of the budget was due to having to use CGI to touch up Rubens to hide his wrinkles. If you see his live appearances he's smeared in pancake makeup and looks way different. Plus he uses an old drag queen trick:

I might have to find Pee-wee's Big Adventure some time (which I might have seen when I was young?). I like Pee-wee's laugh and other little noises.

Also Danny Elfman's first movie score and interestingly enough still his best.

I love big adventure but that movie is really front loaded and I would say kind of loses steam halfway through. However it has one of my favorite gags of all time. "I remember...the Alamo" "Yeehaw!!"
