Something I'd like to see with the whole trope about a monster pulling people into an alternate dimension would be if enough people got caught and evaded it that they ended up banding together, and basically scaring the monster OUT of it's own lair by kicking it's rear end. Suddenly the monster is lost in our world trying to get help taking it's own world back from the "bullies".

Imagined posted:It's not exactly what you're looking for but there is Wellington Paranormal, whose elevator pitch is basically "Reno 911 meets What We Do In the Shadows". It should also be noted that it's literally a spin-off of WWDITS, the two cops are the cops from that movie.

BioEnchanted posted:I kind of want to see an 80s supernatural thing where other small towns have disappeared each under unique circumstances, so one of them is empty but full of a weird purple fog, one of them is just a crater, one of them is completely mirrored and all the survivors only talk backwards, basically where every other Steven King style story actually happened already, and so the sheriff of THIS small town immediately assumes that the disappearences that start happening there are supernatural because this sort of thing ALWAYS happens in these kinds of towns.

If you imagine these as video games we all know they'll suddenly spring into existence having sold 300 copies on PS2 but somehow appearing for 2 pounds in whatever CEX you happen to be in.

BrigadierSensible posted:Has the comics world dealt with stuff like that? One mutant with super-speed was an Olympic champion in downhill skiing before his powers emerged (or at least before he was aware of them). Once people put two and two together, he was stripped of his medals. I seem to remember Northstar was kind of bitter about it, but still admitted "I dunno, maybe my desire to win kicked in my speed powers a bit?"

I love the Daily Mail article that comes up that Midsomer became more politically correct after the original producer left, including such shocking things as, gasp, "One episode featured Gregory Brantner, played by Patrick Robinson, who had a white wife".

"Welcome Home" starring jesse pinkman - ok, you suspect your girlfriend is cheating on you again...so you meet up with him at a bar, and confess you want to do the same to get back at her? I get alcohol makes you stupid but come on, you're giving the bad guy/predator fuel to dump on your dumpsterfire of a relationship. The only thing I can give them credit for is that they didn't just half-assedly bonk the people trying to murder them, they bonked until completion the spooky dark web twist ending is almost too stupid to mention. Let your movie stand on its own, don't try and make it a "wow what if it's real" thing.

Weirdly enough this was an episode of the CG TMNT cartoon (specifically the arc where they spent a season upstate in the woods and went through lots of horror movie homages), sorta. A bunch of evil beaver monsters that have Freddy Krueger dream powers try to break into the real world... and succeed! Only to realise that none of their dream powers work in the waking world, and they're nothing more than just a bunch of multicoloured talking beavers who are significantly less formidable than the average talking animal in the world, include the well-armed and angry trained assassins they'd just been trying to kill.

Luca was cute but a formula story. gently caress, am I getting too jaded for Pixar? Like Raya, amazing art. And like Raya, kinda flat characters. Luca wanting to go to school came out of nowhere, the usual Friend Fight was clearly coming, and I wish the grandma had had more scenes.

Did the internet forget what it's like to watch shows weekly? The think pieces that keep coming across my news feed about Loki are ridiculous "This thing from episode 1 doesn't make sense, it's clearly a plot hole" and no, it's episode 1 of x. That's not a plot hole yet it's just plot.

A depressing fact is that almost every single one of those spoof movies between the late 70s and early 90s includes a scene of a Middle Eastern man wearing a turban with the Holiday Inn logo.

Loki ep2: Mobius and Loki, two beings not from Earth, use the Gregorian calendar and the birth of our lord JC to measure the passage of time, apparently  Unless there are are other "early 1990s" where jetskis were popular. Which I guess it's possible given the number or worlds/timelines outside of our Earth's. Edit: I guess the Variant is just jumping around on Earth for some reason? So using our calendar would make sense somehow. That Italian Guy has a new favorite as of 14:55 on Jun 19, 2021 |

Luca wanting to go to school came out of nowhere, the usual Friend Fight was clearly coming, and I wish the grandma had had more scenes. I think Pixar's been on a solid downward trajectory for a while. It seems they're all either middling animated movies like that or they're maudlin and emotionally manipulative without earning it. Monsters U is fine but it's not particularly interesting. It does probably get its message across more cleanly than Ratatouille.

Pixar has certainly lost the untouchable winning streak they were on until about 'Cars 2', but they still nail it more often than other animation studios: 'Inside Out', 'Coco', 'Incredibles 2', 'Toy Story 4', etc, is just the last 5 years. I haven't seen 'Luca' or 'Soul', yet, but nothing about the premise of either made me super interested. And for a third time, Raya is not a Pixar movie, which I only insist on bringing up because the discussion is about "disappointing Pixar movies". It's not a Pixar movie.

No one said it was. One guy said the new Pixar isn't great and was like raya. edit yeah good dinosaur was some garbage and it's absolutely meaningless. I feel like early on the idea was the dinosaur would figure out that the humans weren't pests and could be domesticated to work on the farm and it wasn't until embarrassingly late in development before someone said "so they invent slavery?" and had to drop the whole idea.

I'm sorry, I keep loving up with Raya as Pixar, that is on me. I never saw Toy Story 4. Is it worth a watch? And Monsters U was okay but I only really watched it for Randall. I seriously thought The Good Dinosaur was going to be more about the dinos making a modern era, kinda like Onward did, but who the gently caress decided the designs were a good idea?

Cowslips Warren posted:I'm sorry, I keep loving up with Raya as Pixar, that is on me. Toy Story 4 was pretty good, it mostly avoids the formulas of the previous movies. It's less of an ensemble than the previous ones so if you're mostly in it for Rex or Ham or Jessie you might be disappointed - it's mostly Woody and Bo Peep with a couple new characters.
