He also did ballet in that movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vpHlyAMN8k I want a whole movie where The Rock plays a huge swole faerie (that is not The Tooth Fairy).

got any sevens posted:Godzilla: City on the Edge of Forever would be cooler When even prestigious stuff with a loyal fanbase like Berserk is getting utter poo poo as adaptations, something has gone wrong. It's funny to go back and watch super pulpy, trashy 90s anime that, despite being juvenile as hell, were quite well animated. Yeah, they were full of exploding heads and gratuitous titties, but they were well animated exploding heads and big titties. Is that just a product of a perceived higher demand creating a much greater supply?

Snowman_McK posted:When even prestigious stuff with a loyal fanbase like Berserk is getting utter poo poo as adaptations, something has gone wrong. IIRC, a lot of the better animated short films of the 80s and early 90s were funded to promote laserdisc, beta, and VHS players. The producers didn't care so much if the final product made money as long as it looked good on whatever media player they were trying to sell. So, there was suddenly funding for a lot of animator's hobby projects without the oversight that'd usually come along with that. As a result there was a lot of juvenile and/or incomprehensible -- but gorgeously animated -- trash produced by people who didn't necessarily know how to tell a story but who could drat sure draw a mean titty.

That makes a lot of sense. On the subject, everybody should watch the uncut version of Urotsukidōji just to marvel at the fact that 'holy poo poo, this was someone's loving job, someone was paid to animate that woman's vagina turning into a fanged tentacle.' You can just kind of marvel at the fact that it exists.

Young Freud posted:Case in point... Or: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVpwJbLLivU I don't really know much about animation, but what's the difference that makes older cartoons (whether Japanese, American or otherwise) look like they have different shades and tones while newer ones always look really "shiny". For example, compare an old episode of Dragon Ball Z to the remake version in Dragon Ball Kai. What's changed?

END ME SCOOB posted:Likely you're looking at the difference between painted cels and digital coloring. Probably other factors, too, such as OAV versus TV animation (TV animation tends to be more simple, less rendered, and less intensively animated than OAVs and theatrical films) and the proliferation of toon-shaded 3DCG and computer-aided animation in the industry, but a lot of differences seen in older animation were artifacts of the process, like cells casting a slight shadow, or various in-camera tricks like double exposure to create motion blur or vignetting in the camera.

Will Infinity War make more money than Black Panther in America? Worldwide, certainly, but Black Panther's set a high bar for it domestically.

Current projections show that it might make a quarter billion domestic on opening weekend, it's gonna be huuuuge. It's also going to feature the characters from Black Panther fairly prominently so it's going to draw in all the people who bought tickets to the first Avengers plus a large chunk of the people who went to Black Panther but don't usually go to superhero movies.

Probably gonna see Rampage tomorrow. Weird that it's one of the only video game movies I've seen where the changes from the source material are drastic and seemingly for the better, it's just weird. Kinda doesn't hurt that the title and concept lend itself to a bit of a throwback B-movie style monster movie. And George being a gorilla who is confused and horrified by his transformation seems like it'd work amazingly well.

"MMO but real" is a huge huge entertainment genre in a bunch of places that aren't the US & Ready Player One was a blockbuster version of that. It's frankly not surprising that it'd do well internationally. Other than the Shining segment knowledge of what's being referenced is not important at any point. (I guess seeing a bunch of kids flailing on the street being a bunch of flailing master chiefs in game is less funny.)

Young Freud posted:Case in point... Cyber City Oedo 808 is the coolest anime ever made. There's plenty of better anime out there, but Cyber City Oedo 808 is the coolest. Also a rarity - the English dub and international soundtrack is waaaaaaay better than the Japanese one. The Japanese soundtrack is a jazzier more upbeat kind of deal that just feels really off next to everything else about it. Also I sort of like that it ended up not spawning any spin off* sequels/continuations/whatever since all three parts together are about the length of one movie. So it's easy to show someone the whole thing so more people realize how awesome it is. *There was a fourth episode presented in the form of a PC Engine CD visual novel with some parts where you walk from place to place with very simple graphics. But the visual novel parts do a pretty good job of capturing the anime's look all things considered (it's mostly talking heads): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfVncKydxF8
