Sir Lemming posted:From what I've read, the new Grinch movie makes the unnecessary change of having him interact with the townspeople a few times before he goes on his burglary spree, as well as some backstory where he had a bad Christmas once. That sounds pretty similar to the Jim carrey version.

Animal Crackers is having the absolute worst time trying to release to theaters. https://www.facebook.com/pg/AnimalCrackersMovie Every post there is basically "it's not out yet" and it's apparently finished and they're waiting for Byron Allen's contract on the movie to run out. He's promised to release it but hasn't done it for whatever reason. It's gotten a lot of good reviews but Byron Allen from Entertainment Media is holding it back and the directors are laying all the blame on him.

Macaluso posted:So this came across my suggested videos: What’s the story behind that casting in the first place? It doesn’t feel like something he’d be gung-ho for. There seems like there’s little crossover potential to bring his fan-base in. He was one of the biggest comedians when it came out, so he couldn’t have been cheap. He doesn’t have a famous bit about pets that I’m aware of. He doesn’t have an especially distinctive voice.

Classic stunt casting, Illumination still has a bit of 'big name voices will get seats' going on that Dreamworks and Disney had learned that it doesn't always work.

The Grinch could have been better. They really shouldn’t have gone with cumberbatch as the grinch; he does an ok job, but doesn’t add anything. Pharrell Williams as the narrator does all the legwork in the movie (all the monologues that the grinch had in the 70’s adaptation are moved onto him). I also really hate the changes made to his home. He’s got a regular kitchen with cupboards and a spot for Max; the Citizen Kane dining table and the organ room are the only things that feel Grinchy. It’s less miserly and more disgruntled retail employee fed up with “Its November, it’s christmas time, motherfuckre  ”, which is actually interesting in a way.Also they don’t loving do a full rendition of “You’re a mean one Mr.Grinch”. That 30 second clip in the trailer is all you fuckin’ get. PenguinKnight fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Nov 10, 2018 |

That one from the trailer is pretty rad. I'm a sucker for good covers of that song. Especially ones that don't screw up the timing on the "between the two of you, I'd choose the.... seasick crocodile!" and "I wouldn't touch you with a... 39 and a half foot pole!" You need the pauses there, people!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-kIVZTMPXI kefkafloyd fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Nov 11, 2018 |

Yeah it’s a good cover, they don’t use the whole thing, which sucks. Also the animation is great and I love the whoville design work. The present stealing scene is really well done, too! PenguinKnight fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Nov 11, 2018 |

IUG posted:Non-hybrid cars. Just gas guzzling SUVs if I remember right. Yeah, they were advertising their small SUV, using their Skyactiv technology (offering a modest improvement to fuel economy) to justify the words "Lorax Approved" (while every climate scientist worth a crap was saying that nothing short of abandoning fossil fuels altogether would suffice). Never mind that in the actual movie, "Lorax Approved" came from the song "How bad can I be?" where it was used to denote falsely advertising eco-friendliness.

I dunno, I can see merit in the existential horror of a creature not meant to be given life terrified by the concept of it's own continued existence. SpoonHead: I don't want to live! Woody: Don't say that! Don't you die on me! SpoonHead: I SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DIE! I SHOULDN'T HAVE LIFE TO LOSE! I dig it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnQbOZY9W2Q I'm not entirely sold on the fur effect on Pikachu and lot of the other pokemon, but it feels like this is actually made by people who like Pokemon and not just shallowly cashing in on the name brand. Also did not expect Deadpool to be voicing Pikachu.

Pikachu looks way better in motion that he does in the thumbnail still. Probably won't go see this, but good on 'em for doing something different.

Pikachu looks fine with the fur but like Jigglypuff and Psyduck look wack. I don't really understand why they didn't just make them look more cartoony. It wouldn't be any less ridiculous. All the shots of Greninja looked hype as hell though not gonna lie. At at the very least for the most part they tried to have the Pokemon LOOK like the actual Pokemon, just with weird realistic textures. As opposed to like, re imagining that poo poo into horrid abominations I'm certainly more excited for this than Toy Story 4

I have never liked or understood Pokemon. Never really wanted to. Every time I've tried something in me just went "no" and I had to stop. I loved the trailer. It's like, I don't know, Who Framed Roger Rabbit with Pokemon instead of cartoons. I loved how the beginning they're talking about the dumb backstory involving wanting to be a Pokemon trainer but not mincing words or admitting it sounds dumb, they are doing this dumb premise and if you think it sounds "unrealistic" then you can just go sit in a corner and miss a good time. This is way, WAY different than most live action adaptations these days where they have to cater to and include the most miserable, unimaginative, and self-serious audience possible.

I loved that Detective Pikachu trailer. Funny, while also showing some sincere love for the source material. If the movie manages to keep that tone all the way through it'll be amazing.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:I loved that Detective Pikachu trailer. Funny, while also showing some sincere love for the source material. It's weird cause the only thing that DOESN'T feel like it's coming from an actual Pokemon fan place is the weird semi realistic texture choices they've decided to go with. But like everything else feels VERY Pokemon. They even chose not to have them just do roars and poo poo and actually say their names like they're supposed to. It's set in kind of a gritty environment but everything about the trailer felt lighthearted. The various Pokemon all move like they are supposed to. Bulbsaur has kind of a silly hop to his step, Greninja does his move exactly like he does in the games and show, Jigglypuff looks like she mad someone fall asleep while she was singing and got pissed, which is very true to the show. I'm honestly amazed at the constraint the people making this had to not try and do their own thing with the world. Hopefully the Sonic movie does similar, although I'll a bit more bothered by Sonic having realistic fur than this movie if that ends up being the case

Toy story has always been about the capitalist nature of the toy industry. Toy Story 1 had the toy craze phenomenon, 2 tie-in merchandise as a collector's item, and 3 the toy not an individual but a replaceable commodity eg Lotso or Barbie. Gonna predict a Christ analogy for the Spork character, created pure of sin by the little girl in art class in school.

Although the Detective Pikachu trailer was very good and dense and made me wish I was more into Pokemon, I've got to admit that the Toy Story 4 teaser certainly raised my expectations, albeit probably because they'd already gotten impossibly low to begin with. At least "a homemade toy created by a child has an existential crisis" is a legitimately interesting direction for Toy Story to go in, reminiscent of Buzz's plot from the original movie without being a retread (which actually puts it a step ahead of the second and third movies, both of which felt the need to retread Buzz's plot for some reason). I didn't think they had anywhere left to go with the concept, but I tentatively consider myself proven wrong.
