One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

My four year old nephew seems to love everything that Illumination makes and also Mario so he's probably gonna lose his mind at the movie. Jack Black as Bowser seems cool, I guess :shrug:

there's some silly quotes but it's funny to act like snooty critics are biased against kids movies right after the D&D and shrek cat movies did really well with them

If the Mario movie post credit scene isn't a tease of link or zelda then what are we even doing here

It'll be a teaser for turning IGN's old fake Zelda movie trailer into a real movie :D

One review mentioned "holding put for a hero" plays at one point, which is a big sigh. I'm sure there will be a litany of safe, generic cartoon clichés
I look forward to “The Boys Are Back In Town” being featured prominently in the trailers for the sequel.

This kids movie didn't hold up to my standards for cinema

Given the fact that those movies absolutely do exist, I think it's fair to expect kid's movies to be better than they often are. They don't have to be good to be successful and that's fine, but since it's totally possible, I wish they'd make more effort.

I'll be happy if the animation is creative, and given what the trailers have shown it looks like it will be, thanks to the source material anyway. I really like animation as a medium, it can be super rich given the opportunity.

I'd be happy to write a review after seeing it, but I'm awfully wordy at the best of times and I wouldn't want to subject anyone to that necessarily.

I think I have like zero critical eye when it comes to kids animated movies because I've seen more kids movies this past like 2 or so years then I have in the past 20 and honestly can't tell what makes one better then others to people. Watched that new puss in boots movie that just came out a few weeks ago with my kid. Saw people talking about how great it was it but besides the animation looking good it just felt like another kids movie to me?

It's definitely not a genre a movies I would have any interest in if I didn't have a kid so that probably has a big part of why the Mario movie doesn't look any worse then other stuff I've seen. Serious post done.

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
I think it's possible to have valid appreciation and criticism of a movie - or anything, really - but phrasing those observations as overt declarations of the thing being Good or Bad lacks the granularity necessary for the observations to be meaningful or interesting.

Definitely true. There's objectively bad things I love and objectively good ones that I don't care for.

My 4 year old daughter is extremely excited about the Mario movie. She asks to check the calendar every day to see how close we are to our tickets on Saturday and got a Mario book from the library to “teach (me) who she was going to see.”

Doesn’t she know it got bad reviews?! Idiot!!!!

Man it's like a $12 ticket for 90 mins of your life either watch it or don't, it's really not a big deal or worth all that much discussion here imo. I'm going tomorrow but I'm not worried about whether it's gonna suck or not cuz it's just a movie

In other news my NYXI joy cons are finally acting up :( they sporadically get disconnected think it's because they're a little bit loose, I cleaned the contacts and the rails and it seemed to have improved the issue. Still disconnected once last night, but I was playing dead cells and rough handling the joy cons so maybe that was part of it

Still I'm pretty bummed because I absolutely adore these controllers and I cannot go back to the stock ones. I'm going to try adding a piece of tape or a thing cardboard to the rail to see if that helps because I'm hoping it's just a physical jiggling issue and not actually a software / hardware problem

Also picked up chained echoes which looks super slick but lol I am now juggling dead cells, chained echoes, octopath 2, and mp remastered. I never beat games anymore

I once got a huge bag of weed and tried to go back to a lot of my favorite kid shows especially a lot of the millennial darlings that are always in the memes and ehh...

They were ok but not as good as I remembered and pretty clearly lovely in some cases. Life is too short to revisit most of those!

When I was a little kid, we were going to see the 90s Mario movie and my parents cancelled the plans the day of because they read a bad review of it. This isn't a joke.

Kind of surreal tbh. I was really hyped, then stopped caring for a long time, and am now back to being insanely hyped. It's been such a long wait!

SMTV is another one with a brutal gap between announcement and release. But hey it came out and it was good and now ToTK is out in a month and it'll probably be good too!
