He (probably, it came from an account that he has not acknowledged as his but which internet detectives think was his) wrote a tweet denying that Japan's colonial rule in Korea was morally equal to the Holocaust, and suggested that maybe Japanese rule had some good outcomes for Korea. Which is lovely, I guess, but I dunno, by the standards of that issue it seems not particularly offensive? For comparison 50% of the British public thinks the Empire was good for the colonies and even more think it was something to be proud of https://seldomusings.wordpress.com/2013/10/19/migiteorerno/ https://yougov.co.uk/news/2014/07/26/britain-proud-its-empire/ icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 11:19 on May 27, 2017 |

I rewatched Kungfu Panda last night and I still think it's one of the best animated films of the last few decades. The plot is interesting, the script is really tight with lots of humour but plenty of poignant moments, no superfluous characters, awesome kungfu action, very strong voice acting, and the animation still holds up even if the texturing is a bit weak if you really look for it. 10/10 would recommend. Oogwei is best character.

"The bad guy must never get hold of this important scroll!" "Why not?" "Because it might teach him an important moral lesson!" Also, they kinda gloss over the fact the Po obliterates the bad guy.

I'm looking at all those sequels and wondering. Where's The Croods 2?! I mean, even that Nuts movie with the generic models-totally-not-stolen-from-other-movies squirrel got a sequel. (I've watched Croods with my nephew a lot of times,so it grew on me, also a bit more of Nic Cage wouldn't hurt)

Anyone have any movie recommendations for very young children? We've started a tradition of movie night with our daughter (she's 2 1/2) and are looking for some movies to watch. So far, we've had good luck with the Shrek movies (she thinks the Donkey is funny and likes the cat), and medoicre success with Madagascar (really she just likes the animals). Movies with catchy upbeat music are good too because she likes to dance around during the songs. Anything with even mildly scary scenes are pretty much out (we started watching tangled, but she got freaked out by the witch at the start).

Well, that definitely rules out Zootopia (the "savage" animals doing jumpscares all throughout the second act might be a bit much). Still, other Disney films would probably be okay. Aladdin might be a bit intense with the Cave of Wonders escape, but I dunno that I'd really call it scary... Then again, I didn't think Mother Gothel was that scary, either, so what do I know about what's scary or not? Mary Poppins, maybe? It's been forever since I've seen it (man, I need to rewatch that sometime), but I recall it being fairly low on the frightening-things-happening scale. Though as long as we're bringing up Mary Poppins and "scary", a post-movie ad on an old VHS at the daycare I used to stay at juxtaposed scenes from Mary Poppins with... I want to say TRON but I'm not entirely certain; the end result was that I was a little wary of Mary Poppins for a while. The scene they showed of maybe-TRON kinda freaked me out, see, even though I can't really say why since it was basically just a warping-to-light-speed animation through a grid tunnel of some sort that was forming directly in front of the vehicle (I can't think of any scenes in TRON like that, is the rub - maybe near the end, with the Solar Sailers, but I don't think that's it). For whatever reason, I associated that scene with Mary Poppins, even though nothing like it shows up in that film whatsoever. I dunno, I can't entirely choose what my triggers are, but somehow I grew out of that particular one. The scene where the Ghost of Christmas Future goes through a swirly vortex with Scrooge scared me out of seeing A Muppet Christmas Carol in theaters when it was relevant for similar reasons, even though I'm totally unfazed by it as an adult (barring going "huh, this is that scene I was too chicken to see in theaters as a four-year-old. Neat." whenever it plays).

Totoro should be a sure hit! Kids that young can handle more "slow" movies. No need for rapid-fire dialogue and jokes.
