ThePlague-Daemon posted:This looks wonderful. The weird boring opening with the overpowered racquet breaking sound, the absurdly generic robot, the voice acting, implied old New York still existing under water including for some reason the World Trade Center, "you have to protect our family name" followed by the dude dunking his head underwater and "Starring Jaden Smith" appearing behind him, "Coco Chanel may her memory be blessed". I get the sinking suspicion Neo Yokio will only be interestingly strange when chopped into a trailer. Full episodes won't have enough bizarre content to fill the runtime and will likely just draaaaaag. Is this the first Netflix original trying to capitalize on "watching it because its memetic"?

I think they're trying to capitalize on all the big names attached more than anything else. Not sure how the production process went for it, but it was originally supposed to be part of the dead Fox/FX adult animation block, so maybe Netflix just rescued it rather than putting any significant effort into production.

I realized today that Joseph and his coat of many colors adaption aka Joseph: Coat of Dreams, the follow up to Prince of Egypt wasn't a fever dream but an actual straight to video film with Prince of Egypt's level of casting and animation. Why isn't this more talked about? Is it worth watching?

IShallRiseAgain posted:They actually got the guy who directed Gundam Unicorn storyboarding it. Production I.G and Studio DEEN are also the studios actually animating it (Along with a Korean studio of course). I'm not implying its actually going to be good, but there are indeed people from Japan working on it.

readingatwork posted:So I checked out Captain Underpants on a recommendation from a source I trust and it turns out it's a legit good movie. How did THAT end up happening? I know this is a few pages back but I just got the BR/DVD of this and it's actually pretty nice. I popped the BR-DVD into my PS4 and it actually lets you pause the movie, go into the extra, watch an extra, then it'll immediately go back to the part of the movie you paused it at and play from there. It's pretty nice. The last movie I bought was Zootopia and it doesn't do that. It does, however, have a weird bug on the DVD where it won't play right on VLC. I thought it was a VLC issue but I don't know? Next up, getting Wonder Woman next week.

Maybe I'm wrong but it has that strong avatar/boondocks korean imitation anime look to everything in that trailer. I was just replying to the person that said there was no Japanese people involved even though there was.

Is it worth watching? don't you mean prequel  for some reason I remembered enjoying it more than Prince of Egypt as a kid but that was probably because my family loved Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Holy poo poo that was quite a year for DreamWorks since Road to El Dorado came out that year, then Chicken Run and then this in the fall. Chicken Run was the best of 2000  and I don't count ENG because it released so late

Music wasn't nearly as memorable either. Still respectable.

Anyway, that's my story. You all have a great day.

Subtext is an ideological fantasy. In this case, 'gay subtext' is a means of denying one's own inherent bigotry and projecting onto the 'hidden feelings' or 'agenda' of the filmmakers. In reality, the relationship between George and Harold is queer, but whether or not they have secret romantic feelings for one another is irrelevant.

probably not the best way of phrasing it. i guess i'm so used to media - and especially children's media - flattening out interactions between boys (and men, usually) that the melodrama of george and harold's friendship being endangered seemed particularly pronounced, and as such unexpectedly radical and 'queer' to see in a mainstream kids movie still hella gay tho, imo

Pyrotoad posted:I was helping my mum cook with a random movie channel on as background noise and Strange Magic came on. We ended up watching the whole thing and we both kind of enjoyed it? Like it's not got any tension at all and it's very predictable, but there was something still kind of likeable about it. The most fascinating thing about Strange Magic is the backstory behind it: George Lucas had been wanting to get it made for fifteen years, but just couldn't get the project off the ground. When he sold Star Wars to Disney part of the deal was that he would finally get to make Strange Magic. The result was, well, I've never actually seen it but from what I've heard it's "okay not great". I wonder if it would be remembered more fondly (or remembered at all) if it had come out in the year 2000 or so.

So I got to see Castle of Cagliostro in theaters yesterday. They opened it up with an interview with John Lassiter, completely gushing about the movie, how it affected him, how important the movie is to animation, how amazing Miyazaki is, and how helped him win over his wife, it was pretty neat. I've seen the movie so many times, but this was my first time seeing it in the original English dub. The one where they call him "Wolf." It's a pretty crappy dub. Jigen sounds like he's never smoked a cigarette in his life. The dialogue was too literal, and some of the more flowery parts don't land as well as they do in the dub I'm used to. That said, the movie was gorgeous on the big screen. They had an interview with Monkey Punch at the end and what he said was right, no matter how many times you watch it, it just never becomes boring. I seriously am considering on watching it again on my old DVD this afternoon. One thing that never occurred to me until seeing it this time is how much the Count looks like Clark Gable.

I saw Lupin III last night too, and I knew something was off about the dub, even though it had been a couple years since I'd last seen the movie. Seeing it on the big screen was still amazing and really made me feel like I was seeing it for the first time. I felt giddy when I left the theater. Attendance wasn't great, there were like 6 people including me in the auditorium, but it was still fun to laugh along with a group, however small.

The subtitled version is airing on the 19th. I'd go see it too, but in my state it's only airing in two theaters in far away cities. One of which is the theater that my girlfriend and I used to see everything in over a hundred miles away.

All of the songs are dated and lovely, the animation isn't even that good, the story is crap and not even memorable, and there's a lot of strangely racist tones in it that don't get resolved OR punished in any way at all. There is no movie I hate more than that piece of poo poo and, to be honest, it makes me not want to watch the Star Wars movies Lucas made (not seen Star Wars until Disney did VII), because I don't want to subject myself to his crap storytelling.

ThermoPhysical posted:Strange Magic is, bar none, the worst animated movie I have ever seen. The film got finished and released because Disney bought Lucasfilm and wanted to shove it out, George Lucas did not direct the film nor finish the movie. It is by all accounts a very bad movie, and likely would have been had it been finished under Lucas. Star Wars Episode 7 is easily the weakest of the franchise, as well, so take that into account when viewing thay franchise.
