These days they would probably be playing Orbot and Cubot instead, who are pretty much just modern Sonic's (lamer) versions of Scratch and Grounder. Haha hahaaaa!

Shrek goes to the government to complain because a minority class is encroaching on his neighborhood. Sounds pretty white to me.

things i liked about Incredibles 2: the animation, dash being an excitable turd of a kid, the motorcycle chase, much more emphasis on the family as a whole than just Bob and Helen. someone mentioned this earlier but i loved how clear it was that the primary goal of these superheroes is not punching out some bad guy but saving lives. the climax isn't the battle, it's averting disaster with no casualties things i did not like: Bob being a poo poo about Helen's success and then that arc not really being addressed again. Winston rescuing a working class family from poverty. Winston making it abundantly clear that the wealthy can change the law with relative ease and sponsor the signing of a new law on their private corporate boat. Winston cracking jokes about ineffective politicians like Disney is supposed to be on my side. the villain being someone who enslaves people via media lol. the weirdly violent clash between a sadistic baby and a hungry raccoon

Koramei posted:I totally agree with your other thoughts, but I really never felt that Incredibles 1 had these hanging plot threads at all, so I'm curious if other people did. Until this movie said otherwise, I always just assumed that defeating Syndrome and saving the city and so on meant that supers would become totally legal again, and presumably the family would have more than enough money to afford a new house because of that. It's never something I really thought about, and honestly thinking about it, Incredibles 2 going "no the government's been manipulating everyone to think you guys suck despite you very, very publically saving the city from Syndrome's robot" annoyed me a little bit. Yeah, I did notice that at the police station, the cop complaining about the family's illicit superhero-ing stated that they had infrastructure in place to handle supervillains like the Underminer. Except that we never see them mobilize anything that might plausibly have stopped his machine, or save the people we see the family saving. It might have been cool to see just why things didn't outright go to poo poo within months of the superhero ban going into effect.

Pixar has definitely hit rock bottom. But at this point their corporate culture has been exposed so they can only get better. Hopefully it will become a better place to work. Sad that such dicks were running the place, even if they could spin a good story.

It might have been cool to see just why things didn't outright go to poo poo within months of the superhero ban going into effect. It might be that those who are investigating and reporting the events are looking at 'Mr. Incredible directly confronts Underminer, and in retaliation he sends his giant machine on an unstoppable cruise control. Said giant device causes mass damage that his family only mitigates' and thinking 'Mr. Incredible through both direct and ineffective action, cause a giant machine of death to attack the city' without giving the shadow of the doubt that releasing the death machine was an inevitable part of Underminer's plan regardless if he was directly attacked. But laws work otherwise, so they can only assume the best case scenario. Being if the factors that allegedly caused the incident were never involved, then the incident would not have happened. And so, Mr. Incredible cause mass damage and was a liability. So what the cops are likely talking about is liability mitigation (disclosure, I do not know lawyer terms and are making them up as I go along) through insurance, and possibly a response team to crisis events. Not infrastructure repair, non-act of god disaster relief, strike teams, or anything more pro-active. But that does bring up a point that is unfortunately unexplored in the film. Namely, the battle between reactive and proactive justice. Even a little argument that it's theoretically possible that, if the Parr Family did not try to stop villains, then uncaught supervillains repeatedly performing crimes could be more costly (with ripple effects to the community, the city's reputation, and economically) than one giant battle with collateral damage. Not that it has to be necessarily true, but it would be an interesting theme to explore.

If the media would stop calling goosing women a 'mistake', or otherwise excuse such behavior, or treat women like they're overreacting. Pixar is just a highly condensed look at how American society look at gender roles: Men have a 'Right' to whatever woman they want, and women should accept it. And any woman trying to advance her career or try to stand up for herself is labelled as Difficult, Bossy, or 'A Bitch'.

The Lasseter thing is a Big Deal but if they keep the cash coming in for Disney I'm not holding my breath, pretty much every big-name aspirational employer kids grow up dreaming of working for is like this. There's a million other talented people at least as good as you who'd do anything to have your job and your boss knows it; the higher-ups are Billionaire Genius golden boys who can do no wrong and haven't heard "no" in decades; no poo poo they're gonna treat you like a side of beef.

I remembered this quote from an interview with Brad Bird about The Incredibles a long while backBrad Bird posted:So I said, “Give us the black sheep. I want artists who are frustrated. I want the ones who have another way of doing things that nobody’s listening to. Give us all the guys who are probably headed out the door.” A lot of them were malcontents because they saw different ways of doing things, but there was little opportunity to try them, since the established way was working very, very well. and I'm wondering how many of the people Brad was taking under his wing for the film were the type of people that Pixar was otherwise loving over

Can we talk about the new Three Caballeros animated series that Disney covertly released only in the Philippines? The show is in English, and all of the episodes are available on Youtube. I've seen half of the first episode so far and it's been pretty good. EDIT: Also apparently starring a space princess? The Unholy Ghost fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Jul 2, 2018 |

I'm pretty sure the process went almost exactly like this: "Hmmm, we need to punch up this goat character a bit, make him appeal to children. What's the most popular goat meme at the moment?"  "Screaming goats? Well if that's what they want ..."

I enjoyed Incredibles 2. Nothing amazing like the first movie, but I had fun and would watch another. My main takeaway from it is that in two movies, the incredibles have shown more creativity in using superpowers than every live action superhero film combined. That's pretty disappointing. Oh and contra to my last point, I was a little sad we didn't get more of a brawl out of Brick vs Mr Incredible

I finally saw Isle of Dogs in theaters. I mostly enjoyed it. The big blond afro girl character annoyed me though. She was patronizing to the Japanese characters who were largely depicted as cowardly and set in their ways. She also represented a crutch for a stylistic conceit of avoiding subtitles where-ever possible. Instead of having a Japanese character advance the plot and having to subtitle her dialogue, they used an english speaking character so it wouldn't seem odd that Atari is never subtitled but another character is. Visually it's a basically perfect movie. I have no idea how they got the effect of the fur rustling in the wind with stop motion. Have a fan on set and just hope that the end result doesn't look jittery? Some kind of complicated grooming per frame? Post-production magic?

What a coincidence, I watched Isle of Dogs yesterday (at home). I'm not a huge fan of the film, but I enjoyed it. Afro blonde character was pretty weak, though, and did feel like a crutch as you said. This entire film of only the dogs speaking English up to that point and then she just gets up and gives a 2 minute speech. It felt like that part of Wall-E where people started talking - it was all over at that point. Even though the TV translator talked a bunch before then, she felt kind of like a second narrator, not a character.

Weird that they picked to make a film about China. China's animation industry is starting to become strong so they can tell their own stories, whereas this seems to be a take on life in China from Japanese creators. I wonder if the Chinese will see this as flattering and appealing or scorn it. Your Name did gangbusters in China. This is a new Chinese animated series, english title "Beast Haunting" that looks pretty visually amazing: https://vimeo.com/247943389

What I do remember it's got like this celebrity or something and it's this really cybernetic / futuristic digital world where like she's super old but her grandkids (?) are trying to introduce her to this new future. I remember it was animated. Does anyone know what movie this is?
