ShoogaSlim posted:saw an early screening of the new tmnt movie last night I'm seeing it tonight. It was the spiderverse movies that made me hopeful for this new turtles movie would be good. I'm hoping its still going to be a good time for me. More odd reviews out there though, mostly positive, but the negative ones are kinda 'wtf' ex.: Seth Rogan being a writer and the humor not being more like Superbad's... which was a rated R movie covering subjects I don't think we'll see in a ninja turtle movie for the nickelodeon demographic...

Not a hardcore Turtles fan (watched the original cartoon here and there as a kid, played a bunch of the video games, and that’s about it) but I liked Mutant Mayhem a lot, even if the visuals are much stronger than the story. The kids voicing the turtles are really likable and have good chemistry together

I got into a conversation with someone who actually wanted to see Manso: The Hands of Fate redone by A-list actors and directed by the likes of Wes Anderson, and I was of the opinion if the script was the same, that such a remake would just be bad - Manos is what it is because nobody involved knew what the hell they were doing, making it a fascinating trainwreck. but yeah, while there was the initial 'eeew disney remake' and 'Oh god not Tim Burton again' by people who were a little tired of his style, it faded from the public consciousness almost immediately.

Blackchamber posted:Yeah I enjoyed it. The reviews I've read have been baffling though, mostly pre-release critics at screenings. Like that it wasn't scary. It's a kid's Disney movie based on a kids ride where the ghosts sing to you... were you expecting something more along the lines of IT? It's another marketing fumble, I think. The Haunted Mansion is a legendary attraction for a reason. It's right there in the theme song, they're grim grinning ghosts. This is not a small thing; the mansion took a pretty long time to get made in no small part because they couldn't figure out how to nail the tone for a haunted house in the Happiest Place on Earth. The various trailers have them exclusively being menacing, which is very much not the point of the Mansion. ...I really need to get around to seeing this movie, haha.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem was great! Doesn’t hit the same emotional highs of Spider-Verse but makes up for it in straight comedy. I’m a lifelong TMNT fan, and though my kids have never seen any of their shows/movies before this, all of us really liked it.

Yeah, you can't make a bad movie on purpose, audiences can strangely tell. The true bad greats are ones that (at least some of) the cast & crew were giving it their best and their best was just bad, whether it be to inexperience or just a garbage story/script/etc.

I've also heard it put that Manos basically has more or less a very similar premise to the Rocky Horror Picture Show minus the musical numbers. A Sometimes Food posted:Paraphrasing Rich Evans "for a bad movie to be fun to watch, they have to have tried". Pretty much, yeah. You need misguided effort enough to have something to engage with, and also the audience to be familiar enough with good stuff to know bad stuff when they see it. Something that's bad and not putting in effort is usually just tedious and forgettable, if not outright offensive, unless they hosed up spectacularly enough to have interesting bits. I'm reminded of the Star Wars Holiday Special, which while interesting in its own way for having such high production values and the original cast of revolutionary classics used for a terrible variety show (also reminded of the Simpsons parody of the Brady Bunch Variety Hour) it's usually said to be very little fun to actually watch because what isn't bafflingly poorly thought out is just generic and dull.

Top Disney execs: "Well people seemed to really like that new Puss In Boots movie from Dreamworks. Elemental wasn't a flop but it was definitely not as well received, so what do they have that we don't? "The faces they make on the posters?" "... holy poo poo get this man a raise and tell the boys in marketing, stat!"

animals in animation have become steadily less animal-like and more toy-like as animators themselves have steadily less contact with animals, only toys real goats have a perpetual  expression that could be very funny if utilised in a design

The problem with that is that goat eyes are incredibly creepy and would disturb all children in the audience. Also I am not a fan of 'realistic' portrayals of animals in animated movies. That's mostly why the CGI Lion King sucked so much. It was mostly quasi-realistic big cats opening their mouths without any stylistic freedom and with barely any visible emotion.

One day, a helpless child was gently pushed in a petting zoo by a goat who wanted food. That day, this child lost it's innocence and began to see the bad in other creatures. That child was me! But it was also you and you as this story kept repeating itself over the decades. Goats need to be ostracized for what they did. Actually, goats themselves are really cute, if a bit stinky and unruly. I love them. But yeah, a highly detailed realistic animated goat seems terrifying.

From what I've heard the animators kept trying to make the faces more expressive and appealing through the decades of cartoon tricks they all knew, but the director's vision was "no, Animal Planet  "Fuckin maddening

You know what? I would love to see an unnerving animal sidekick that startles everyone and might be nefarious. Standing in doorways, showing up in impossible spaces, taking down minor threats through its presence alone... You could even have a part in the climactic fight where the sidekick scares the villain into dropping the macguffin. It's a fun idea.

Goats were one of the earliest domesticated animals. I know the horizontal slit eyes are a little off-putting, but it's different when you see them in action.

That's why we perceive dogs as looking guilty when they're caught with the trash can lid around her necks, or a cat trying to hide their embarrassment after falling off the chair. The CGI Lion King Did not use any body language - barely any ear movements, tails staying still, hardly any pawing at the ground or curling up the lips - nothing.
