New clip from the Mario. Looks great (I've said this before but Illumination's style is perfect for this) but I just feel like the whole thing is going to be annoying.

That's not different enough. You need to really shake up the premise. Have a responsible child raising two gay dads.

Is this the guy who testified in front of the J6 committee? I’m not familiar with his work but is it kinda both sides-y? The trailer frames it that way a bit

It's a different guy - that was someone named Alex Holder.
In terms of his politics, I'm having a hard time describing it. When he covers political events (not always, here's him doing interviews at the World's Strongest Man competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLbkoJpLkIY), he will talk to basically anyone and let them have their say. E.g. here's him at the Sturgis motorcycle rally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK2FBEpmlUo. Overall I think he's not trying to make a political point but to like ~reveal the humanity in all of us~. I think it's pretty good :shrug:

I think vanilla sky is very definitely Sci fi. In fact, it's basically a golden age short story, complete with "makes u think" twists and ambiguity, and concerns a great man dealing with Some Weird Bullshit

I'm shocked it isn't based on a Philip k dick story, because in a way, it's based on all his stories

Edit: and yeah it totally loving rules

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

The original doesn't have Cameron Crowe's Spotify Winamp playlist, which is the main reason I like the remake better.

100%. We need more soundtrack driven movies.

The original is ok but definitely feels cheaper and just doesn't land as well as the remake for me. Feels like it suffers from low budget 90s movie syndrome which, to be fair, it is.

The remake is one of my fave movies ever. The whole denouement hits like a ton of (beautiful) bricks.

The music on this film is amazing and it's really fun to avoid a bunch of pop songs in an animated movie for once.

I'm sure part of it is poisoning from quip-heavy movies and I do appreciate getting time to soak up all the visual delight of the city, but it's so crazy that Mario basically says nothing of substance for the entire sequence. Like the part where Toad yells that Luigi's going to die, he's just doing this weird pantomime freak out?

I accept MAR or MARE. Most Italians say the latter. Some add a rolling R.

Others just get it wrong entirely. Darren. Darryl. Dareel. And sometimes just Mario.
