According to Watership Down rabbits can abort at will and doing so is an important part of keeping their burrows from becoming overcrowded. A superior lapine contraceptive tale imho.

Comparing Zootopia to Watership Down just seems impolite.

Well, that's a much better version than my own, I must admit. Though I still kinda like this one I made that got absolutely zero traction: https://twitter.com/The_Shadow_Hog/status/938832865613238274

I do think the old badger teacher had a flashback explanation of his family dying due to a similar incident. Robindaybird fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Dec 8, 2017 |

Also speaking of good eco films, The Plague Dogs seems far too obscure for what it is about. Maybe it's more a product of its time but I feel that is a movie you shouldn't skip if you want to teach your kids some harsh lessons about the world.

According to EW, The Incredibles 2 is apparently only half focused on Mr. Incredible handling Jack-Jack; the other half focuses on Elastigirl indulging her appetite for adventure for once. ...that's about all it says, really, but hey, at least they're not just taking the short made after the first film and extending it to 90 minutes.

I'd argue it's mainstream film, period, which no longer strives to be didactic. Bear in mind films like Soylent Green were the action films of their day. poo poo, The Running Man.

Does/did that kind of stuff actually work? My gut instinct is that being preached at like that nowadays would just create the opposite reaction out of spite.

World Famous W posted:I can't speak for the rest of my country, but in my good ol'e southern state of Alabama we have evangical Christians about to line up to vote for an accused pedophile because "his opponent is for killing babies". A whole lot of the anti Doug Jones campaigning is based on the fact he is pro reproductive rights and the conservatives hate that. My understanding is that the crazy no-abortions allowed position is actually the current law in Brazil and supported by the majority of people according to surveys, so I think the cultural whiplash here is that this artist probably didn't even think they were even making a very strong statement.

Had to take some relatives to a family friendly film so I saw coco. It was pretty good. No moana but a solid emotional picture about family and music. I appreciated how dark and morbid it felt at times for a kids movie ("hey guys! You can't even escape from death and suffering when you die!!"). Just a few weird things 1.) not sure I liked them puppeteering Frida's corpse? It stood out in a film where everything else is original characters and music. Like, I get that she's an icon but she's also a real person...maybe this is just me, I just found it weird to have frida show up and be like "ohhh I'm so wacky! Wacky wacky wacky!!!" 2.) Do you show up to the land of the dead the age you died? Coco having to be a wrinkled doddering septuagenarian or w/e forever felt so weird lol. Like she's walking with her parent skeletons who are like, in their 30a or 40s and she's still looking old as gently caress as much as a skeleton can

Desperado Bones posted:In my country most people are tired of Frida,Like exhausted. She has been elevated in to idol status, like she is the one and only mexican cultural "icon" (while ignoring better artists), and is a very marketable figure nowadays, so far I wouldn't be surprised if her face ended stamped on bean cans. I mean...I've stumble with girls dressed up at her on a walk to the mall. So most of us were in loving stitches at her being represented that way, a pretentious artist with some weird ideas. .

So, like, dead child stars are almost certainly still children even if they died in old age, for example.

Ahhhh I guess the frida stuff makes sense then, didn't really know that angle. Poor coco tho. That second point still kinda sucks for her. I did appreciate there not being a Frozen short. I didn't even see Frozen proper so I was nooot down. Didn't know they pulled it so I was wildly positively surprised when the Coco music started playing instead of some snowmen showing up or some poo poo

That was my take on it too. Nick wasn't taking the perspective of some 'every life is precious' religious fundie, he was just written with what's normal for someone in Brazil.

Everything else is so stylized and unique and then his face is close to generic imitation disney. I think it's mostly the eyes. At least other things like the lighting and way its animated is still cool.

I'm loving that Spider-Man trailer, but I'm thinking maybe they might have stylized it a bit too much? Like...the dropped frames to make it look a bit jerky, like stop-motion; okay. The subtle dots in the shading to give it a kind of newspaper/halftone look; okay. But together? It might be a bit overkill. I dunno, I'll have to see how distracting it is in a longer scene.
