Cowslips Warren posted:Is it just me, or was there a lot more advertising for Encanto than Turning Red? Turning Red is only being shown on Disney+ at the moment so it's not getting the theatrical advertising budget other Pixar movies usually has. Which is weird as I remember seeing a trailer for this movie in a theater too.

I loved seeing Toronto repped so hard in the movie, it's so rare Canada is represented like that. Even the small stuff like the box of timbits for breakfast that the dad tries to take.

Which is weird as I remember seeing a trailer for this movie in a theater too. The past three Pixar movies (Luca, Soul, Turning Red) were all on disney+ and not in theaters, iirc. I mean it made sense with Onward because that was right at the start of the lockdowns. But the last Spiderman hit theaters first, just seems odd Disney didn't put Turning Red into theaters too.

I saw Soul in the theater. I completely missed Luca & Onward, and only just saw Encanto at home. I think I may have aged out of Disney/Pixar movies.

The last social event my family did before the lockdowns began was taking 5 of N+1th Doctor's friends to a brunch and showing of Onward for their birthday. Onward has been very poignant to me to the point I didn't realize it wasn't a popular Pixar film.

My IIMM about Turning Red is that early in the movie, we were wondering where it was supposed to take place. I assumed San Francisco because it was a somewhat hilly city, there was a trolley, and signs for Chinatown. Then I saw a store awning with a phone number on it, and I googled the area code and sure enough, San Francisco. Then in like the very next scene the movie explains that it is set in Toronto, and starts showing Canadian flags. I was very confused.

Haven't seen Turning Red yet, but someone told me to google the working titles and I got a good laugh out of those. TVTropes, but that's where google took me. TVTropes posted:According to the "Making Of" video, the film had various developmental names, some of the pun-based title variety. Such examples include: Notorious RPG (Red Panda Girl), My Neighbor Toronto, PMS (Panda Mayhem Syndrome), Girl In Red, Panda Prime, Anything But Red, Big Deal, and Fei-Fei/Fei Li and A Panda.

Huh I should check out Turning Red if it is a metaphor for puberty. Now that I think about it, Turning Red is going to be Pixar's version of Tern Wolf, isn't it? Like how A Bug's Life ripped off Seven Samurai and Cars ripped off Doc Hollywood? This is 100% pure speculation on something I haven't seen yet.

And are you sure you saw a SF area code? Because one code in SF is 415, and one in Toronto is 416.

Does lycanthropy make the wolf form of whatever is afflicted by it retain characteristics of the host, and that's why people werewolves are generally bipedal, or is that just the default form of a werewolf? Cause, like, imagine a quadruped werewolf with an elephant trunk. edit: a werewolf giraffe with just a really fuckin' long neck

The zoom in on the wide eyed gaping mouth reaction shot to the monster/explosion/CGI effect. In other words: basically Millie Bobbie Brown's entire performance in Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

Many of these questions were answered by the documentary series The Magicians. Veterinarian: “Uh, I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but….your goldfish is a werewolf. And…hey, wait, you’re a werewolf too. Did…did you gently caress the goldfish?”

flavor.flv posted:Also, they live in Markham I thought that either they said in the movie or a review I read before watching that it was in "Toronto's Chinatown" I wouldn't be surprised if there were enough details in the landscape that you could solidly identify it as one or the other. IIRC quickest way to check if it's Markham or not is, are the street signs blue or green? I don't remember what they were in the movie.

Werelephant? Also the analogy goes oddly well with Teen Wolf being more about being black than most 80s movies about being black.

We made the comic just before it was torn down! It was a strange thing walking through, taking reference photos of its nearly picked-clean corpse.  The comics in that book are all free over at http://www.cardboardshark.com .

I've been watching the Highlander TV series from the 90's and one thing about the whole Highlander deal is bothering me. I get that they can't fight on holy ground, sure. That was established in the movie and it's also a useful narrative device so your hero and your villain can have actual scenes together. I'm not gonna question that. But the immortals can't teleport. When one guy walks out of the church, the other guy could just like follow him out the parking lot and force a sword fight there. It makes sense for MacLeod to always be doing the honorable thing and letting the bad guy leave so they don't endanger any bystanders, but eventually one of the bad immortals has gotta try that move, right?

If you force a swordfight in the parking lot he just goes back inside and then you're back at the start

That character is part of why I was thinking about this though, since there a several episodes after that where MacLeod is hanging out his thousand year old monk buddy and then the bad guy immortal of the week rolls up to taunt them. Seems like one of those villains could just chill out in a pew until Mac gets bored and agrees to just go fight 'em.

Cause, like, imagine a quadruped werewolf with an elephant trunk. The were in werewolf means man, so a werewolf is a manwolf, lycanthropy likewise is a portmanteau of lycus, meaning wolf, and anthro, meaning man. So presumably if other animals became a werewolf or contracted lycanthropy they would also turn into wolf-men. And an were-elephant would be a man who turns into an elephant, an elephantwolf would have lychydermy or something.

Darius. He was an awesome character but the actor who played him had some form of cancer and didn't live much longer than when his episodes aired The holy ground thing was mentioned in either the show or a movie, where the last record of a fight happening on it was Vesuvius, so no one is really wanting to test the theory that holy ground only extends so far.
