Post-baby-bedtime movie was the Andrew Garfield Spiderman I like how it established early Spiderman as "Peter Parker having trouble processing grief", the scene with the crane operators union or whatever getting to be heroes was fun, but it's not socialist since it somehow managed to simultaneously be a Spiderman movie and copaganda what with Gwen's dad making a heroic sacrifice and all. No J Jonah Jameson, wtf  *nerd voice* Continuity is weird in this one, MJ doesn't exist, Oscorp exists but the green goblin doesn't, and Gwen has a high-level internship there where she's in charge of other interns despite being an underage high schooler, and also teen Peter Parker is really good at both electronics and sewing??? Both????? Get outta here, nobody is good at both of those things. Anyway Emma Stone is hot and Reptile was my favorite Spiderman villain when I was a kid. This movie was fun but I doubt I'll watch the other Andrew Garfield Spiderman. My wife wants to watch the Tom Holland ones now, I guess I could make an exception to my MCU ban for Spiderman but I swear to God I will roll my eyes at each and every quip.

I don't go to movies anymore because of Covid, Covid is just coincidental to why I don't go to the movies anymore (it's not a priority).

if you haven't watched the two and half hour video yourmoviesucks made after he watched all 3,000 hours of kimba content and demolished the "lion king ripped off this one weird anime" myth then what are you doing with your life? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5B1mIfQuo4

Some Guy TT posted:it rules how white feminisms main contribution to pop culture discourse has been accidentally boosting the mra talking point that men have actual problems while women just have bougie problems White feminism was always bougie feminism. It's pretty drat obvious in retrospect. Probably something to be said about how Disney Princesses specifically elevate bougie women as the most desired and important and were a bit more fuel for the apocalyptically raging entitlement complex of bougie white women

Mantis42 posted:Do people still believe this? I didn't see the anime, that was just scuttlebutt "Still" is an odd choice of words because for it to have changed at all would require people to still be talking about The Lion King Some Guy TT posted:its far more incredible to me that anyone believes lion king is based on hamlet It doesn't have to be word for word to be a ripoff dude. The main premise of the story is that Simba's uncle kills his dad and (implied) marries his mother to usurp the throne and Simba seeks revenge after being visited by his father's ghost, there are parallels even if Rosencrantz and Guildenstern don't show up

loquacius posted:Post-baby-bedtime movie was the Andrew Garfield Spiderman The Amazing Spider-Man movies aren't very good even by comic book movie standards, but Andrew Garfield is my favorite version of the character. The Toby Mac version is a little too emo, the Tom Holland version is a little too naive and quippy, but Andrew Garfield is right in between those two I think.

I just watched ASM for the first time yesterday and it was good. Better than 90 percent of other cape movies. Not as good as spiderman 1 though.

War and Pieces posted:Disney did a take on Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead called Lion King 1/2 yeah thats an actual deliberate parallel because the stories are set up the same way and have similar themes by which i mean both are absurdist banter about side characters with ultimately minor roles in an epic story by contrast saying the lion king is basically hamlet because they both involve a king taking power by killing his brother is like saying severance is basically office space because they both take place in an office

From where I'm standing Star Wars and the Aeneid are also the same story as Hamlet

I'd imagine it's that the people who worked on Lion King acknowledged the influence of Hamlet and did not acknowledge any influence from Kimba. You can make the argument that they had a legal motivation not to or whatever but that's a pretty significant difference.

Someone please watch Disney's animated Jungle Book as an adult and give us your takeaways. That + Robin Hood were my favs w/ the Bear Necessities as my #1 jam. Hamlet chat - if Northman deserves Hamlet-esque designation so does The Lion King.
