It’s weird and stupid that animation is considered a genre
it’s to separate it from proper films while letting the manchildren down gently

it was profoundly sad and funny when those one guys showed miyazaki their procedural animation or whatever it was, and he thought it was just making fun of people with disabilities, and that it was the worst thing he'd ever seen, absolutely destroying the hearts of those guys

miyazaki loving haaaaates any kind of new animation technology(or any kind of animation that isn't the old sweatshop style he likes) which is part of why he's such a nightmare to work for

this is also why he regularly shits on his son(who has done everything possible to try to connect with his father on some level)

Miyazaki returned and watched the rest of the film. When it finished, he was asked for what he thought. He replied, “I saw my own child. He hasn’t become an adult. That’s all.”

Then, he paused and said, “It’s good that he made one movie. With that, he should stop [making movies].”

Ok so maybe I just finished season 1 of The Witcher and now I want to play Witcher 3 what of it? WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME?!

I haven't watched it yet because I'm scared it'll make me replay the Witcher 3 100% all over AGAIN instead of playing one of the many other games I own and haven't gotten through yet (just picked up Hades, it rules).

Some trash is good because it treats the matter respectfully and earnestly like most Godzilla movies. Love em


Other trash is bad because it doesn't even care enough about its own continuity for you to be able to follow along for the ride like Rise of Skywalker.

Pulpy fiction is the highest form of fiction. Direct storytelling without all the pretense; pulp fiction does not lie to us and knows we are just poo poo-producing fleshbags made to orgasm and eat.

Cats is the best movie ever made. why watch a movie that just does what every other movie does, when you can watch the most original movie of all time. there is no movie on earth that has this structuring or pacing or flow. Cats is like the first crustacean that realized it could become a formless parasite in the body of a hapless host fish. Cats doesn't care or understand what a movie is supposed to be, or what an audience expects, and gives you two hours of a sexual feline hurricane katrina that never explains itself or justifies its actions. Cats has killed movies and replaced them with something new. if you see only one movie this year, make sure you see Cats.

i'm one of the people who only sees one movie every year and I think the film industry has been really unfaur to us for a lot of years. Ever since i've been alive, a lot of good or interesting movies come out very late in the year, long after i've seen a movie. It's high time for reform and for every film each year to be released on January 1. Then if you only see one movie every year you can make an informed selection right then, and everyone else can watch all of them throughout the year if they so desire, so no one is negatively affected.

Someone probably could say, "Why don't you wait until December 31 to see a movie? that's one day's difference for you," and I wouldn't respond to that at all. I'd report something like that because it's trolling

"director Takahata repeatedly denied that the film was an anti-war anime. In his own words, "[The film] is not at all an anti-war anime and contains absolutely no such message." Instead, Takahata had intended to convey an image of the brother and sister living a failed life due to isolation from society and invoke sympathy particularly in people in their teens and twenties, whom he felt needed to straighten up and respect their elders for the pain and suffering they had experienced during arguably the darkest point in Japan's history."

Ok, but that really doesn't mean this

quote:

It means he thinks the youth of today should respect the pain and suffering the earlier generations went through. Takahata himself experienced the war.

I didn't see that film as my film for the year back when it was released, and I only watch one per year, so maybe some day time machines will exist, for people like me. I imagine a lot of us are very intelligent and have high motivation for something like that coming into existence

i feel very bad for hana, and would be predisposed to thinking of vivi as a bully or nuisance. however she's actually quite cool herself. i enjoyed the mature debate she had with tupas, and how she helped him. loveing yourself is very important, and even if you have not received much love before, recognizing the loving behaviors that you already express toward others should help give you the confidence you need to love anyone including yourself, even if you don't think you're very good at it or don't know how. cleaning for housemates. being considerate of them. tupas has a great capacity to love. you can do it tupas.
