Macaluso posted:Regarding it being a giant commercial or whatever: I am someone that DOES NOT CARE about product placement in movies. At all. Products exist in every direction I look in real life at all waking hours of the day, seeing a real life product in a movie doesn't even cross my mind. Knowsmore and Buzzztube took me out of the movie way more than if they had literally just been a part of Google and Youtube. Which both of those are also in the movie just as separate things. I would've preferred the Knowsmore guy just simply being Google Image Search. Keep the guy so Alan Tudyk continues to get his cameos I'm with you on Buzzz/Youtube, but I like the direction they took with "Knowsmore." I like that it was a small time search feature. It was a decent introduction to the Internet, and if it was big time Google with giant infrastructure and long lines it would have been too much too quickly. A nice quaint start to keep things grounded. It also parallels the giant Google monolith used in the ending, which I really liked. But yeah, I loved when I saw actual app/websites/things. Other than that, everything else you said was spot on. Especially the criticism about the virus. Once it started yelling "INSECURITY DETECTED" it ripped me out of the movie. Also it was kind of abandoned as a device? Where did it go? Is it not still running around the internet? Other than that, I was a huge fan of the movie. My expectations were less than zero going into it, so that might have helped. Also, I'm surprised more people aren't freaking out about Gord. He was my favorite part and I was dying from laughter anytime he did his thing. Gnarly Bae Jepsen fucked around with this message at 05:05 on Nov 27, 2018 |

But it's hard to find an issue with having Google and Amazon and Youtube and Twitter show up while they're in the internet when actual real arcade cabinets that exist in real life are in the movie at the same time. I think it's weird to have an issue with the former but not the latter. Also Sonic the Hedgehog is very knowledgeable about the internet and I find that very funny.

Minions was actually really cute.  I'd put it in a similar category to something like Penguins of Madagascar; it wasn't anything super emotionally resonant or deep, but it made me laugh my rear end off and had a lot of nice animation. It absolutely was not the Emoji Movie or anything like it, and it's actually why I'm completely not shocked Illumination got the Nintendo job (because it shows how their style would dovetail with that really well).

ThermoPhysical posted:I fell asleep in DM2 (it was that boring), how was it racist? The villain is Hispanic, stereotypically so, while all heroes are white, down to having super-british people added to the cast. The main character does not trust him initially with no evidence whatsoever because he is different and also feels he must protect his daughter from said Hispanic guy's swarthy son. The hispanic guy then becoming a villain means our protagonist was right to immediately assume the new foreigner trying to steal his daughter is evil, to trust all british people implicitly to know best, and in addition to the fact the foreigners big plan is turn the minions into savages without civilization. The film never outright says anything as hamfisted about race as it does about its hosed up views on family, but it earns no benefit of the doubt whatsoever.

So Angry Birds but with Minions. Got it. Glad I fell asleep. Minions will live on forever because of middle aged women on Facebook, honestly

I didn't know until today he was also behind Rocko's Modern Life, though in hindsight comparing the two shows that really should've been obvious. But jesus christ, ALS of all things.

I never got to know him, but Mary Harrington stopped by at lunch to chat (I seem to be very good at acting like I don't know who people are!) and talked about him a bit. She said he was shy and mild and she had to really push him to pitch a show back when he was working on Rocko. She seemed to think very highly of him, and I can't say I've ever heard a bad word about the guy. Also ALS is my number one death fear.

PierreTheMime posted:The whole movie is coming from an angle of Ralph being so incredibly comfortable with his life and his friendship that he wants it to remain the same forever, refusing to accept another person's (even Vanellope's) wishes when it comes to his plans that include others. I haven't seen it yet (it doesn't get released till boxing day in Australia  ), but is Vanellope still taking the role of Ralph's child thematically? WR's message was more or less "your job sucks and hurts your sense of self-worth but rather than getting false validation from escapist videogames you can feel validated by your work allowing for/funding your child's happiness". Him wanting things to stay the same forever makes it sound like it is about having to learn to let your kid grow up and your relationship change. Or maybe it just sucks.

I never really read his relationship in the first film with Vanellope as a parent/child, and it certainly doesn’t come off that way in the second.

Yeah I've seen nothing but really, really effusive praise for Into the Spider Verse. Like "Best comic book movie of the year" and "Revolution and game-changer in animation and comic book movies" level praise. Gonna try to go out of my way and catch it in theatres, at least if my mall movie theatre's one stupidly big screen is showing it.

Yeah, if anyone's not bullshitting on the praise, it's Andre (Black Nerd). He will poo poo talk a movie HARD if he doesn't like it...like the time he went to see Smurfs early and it sucked or the time he got to see Michael Bay's Turtles and near cried over how lovely it was. I've been following him for years and he's really the only reviewer of media I trust anymore to not play up poo poo for sponsor's sake.
