About to see La La Land but we got there late so we're literally in the first row  I literally don't think I've ever sat in the very first row and really hope I'm not about to break my neck craning it.

The Skeleton Dance was animated primarily by Ub Iwerks, but it was also one of the last films Walt Disney personally animated on (and directed).

13 Hours is actually two and a half hours of Michael Bay screaming "what the gently caress is the point of American imperialism in the Middle East?" while some sick firefights and explosions play in the background. Highly underrated.

Budgie Jumping posted:I was about to post about how I'd never show you people any of the lovely things I've written, but then I realized: I'm doing that just by posting. Dang. How loving real this got... Budgie Jumping posted:^^^PKD predicted hipster fashion in Ubik. It's wild. But they don't especially pretend otherwise. I mean I'd quibble about Mann (he's conservative in some ways but not unreservedly reactionary - his protagonists are almost always criminals and never unsympathetic. And look at his portrayal of libertarian supermen like Tom Cruise in Collateral) but the point is not that reactionaries can't make good art, just that you shouldn't get Trojan horsed by stuff that claims to be or superficially is "apolitical". Hey Mark Twain and HUNDU I got the subs working on Don't Deliver Us From Evil, it was just cause I was trying to watch it on my phone like a dumbass (both times it's been posted)

Terrorist Fistbump posted:13 Hours is actually two and a half hours of Michael Bay screaming "what the gently caress is the point of American imperialism in the Middle East?" while some sick firefights and explosions play in the background. Highly underrated. The thematic centerpiece of that movie is when they're in the armored truck trying to escape the compound and they're just slowly, awkwardly backing up and negotiating a lane change for a few minutes while everyone's screaming at everyone in languages the other parties don't understand It's not that subversive because it still couches its anti-imperialism in that hoary "dickless bureaucrats holding OUR BRAVE TROOPS back" poo poo to an extent, but it's legitimately a rare and pleasant surprise for the moral conclusion of that logic to be "get our troops out of there" rather than "get the bureacrats out of there and let our troops fire rifles at as many brown men as it takes"

Magic Hate Ball posted:The main thing I've learned about criticism is to either not respond to it, or to ask constructive questions. I feel like I gotta hit this point one last time: But i really don't mind criticism at all. What I did mind was the public post about how my first page was done wrong and a ripoff, which pretty much gave me the assumption that that person was not going to even give it a chance. And then made it a public thing, which I assumed wasn't going to happen because I sent this thing through email, and not just threw it up for everyone to see. And even the second post about the first 30 pages being way too long, I didn't respond with any kind of hostility. I just asked if this could be taken to PM's. The only thing I ask you do when it comes to judging my work is give it a fair chance. That's really it! I get in the "reeeeaaaall wooorrrrld" most scripts are thrown away when the slightest error occurs. Fine. But I'm not asking anyone to fund it. Just to help me fix it. So I feel like that treatment on my work, at least that first response about the camera angles, and the MIB 2 thing, felt really mean, and uncalled for. So if someone sends me a harsh PM about how bad my script is, I will respond fairly. I may argue a few points, but that's only because I feel strongly about it. And I could be wrong, and someone's ideas give me a new perspective on the material, and I can finally get rid of stuff I once thought was important, but really wasn't.

She was not. You can't call it apolitical, but it's not like, a weird hidden message movie with all these points alluding to Clinton. But it is pretty dang great. CelticPredator fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Jan 15, 2017 |

You don't have to agree with a work politically to enjoy it. It's just dangerously naive to see things as apolitical.

FreudianSlippers posted:That image was the first thing I though about after the title so if we can find a workable way of doing it properly we probably will. The gender swap is also partially motivated by the fact that we have a planned series of sketches with a female main character and we thought we might retrofit this one into that one. Make the lego pissing thing a sexually transmitted disease. It makes more sense. Plus I think the main character gender swapping all of a sudden takes focus away from the craziness of pissing loving legos. HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Probably that he's a nazi. Yeah, I didn't know that before. Uncle Boogeyman posted:that was '05 i think, yeah. it's just been too long since ive seen it. It makes me sad how little people talk about Munich because that's probably in the top three of Spielberg's entire career.
