Just watched Finding Dory. It felt uneeded and somewhat like a souless attempt at hitting as many emotional moments as possible without ever earning them. Its also, except for the brief time in the ocean exhibit tank, not particularly visually striking.

Well Pixar I'm done.

Not gonna give Cars 3 a shot?

Tell me if I'm chewing wood into the wind here, but I'm still revisiting my childhood obsession with Angry Beavers for the 20th anniversary of the show, and I'm just now reading this interesting article about the show's decline: https://www.vice.com/en_au/article/nickelodeons-angry-beavers-nearly-ended-by-making-the-main-characters-realize-they-were-going-to-die-922

I found this bit, um, interesting:


I also found out that Nick Bakay (voice actor of Norbert, as well as Salem the cat on Sabrina the Teenage Witch) co-wrote both Paul Blart movies :shepface:

This thread got weird real quick...

I mean, I like FMA and all but....

ANYWAY..

I heard that, in the last book of Captain Underpants, Harold Hutchins is revealed to be gay and his future self is married to a guy and has kids. This got the book banned in some schools. If this is true, I wonder if they'll hint at it in the movies considering the whole LeFou thing from Disney and...well, that's kind of all I can think of for recent movies where a character is gay and they kind of hint at it.

Also, on the topic of that movie, where can I buy ALL of the books for that series? Does Google Play have them all, if anyone knows? Amazon?

I'd say the physical copies would be nice, but I got a tablet I need to actually use and I also have no more space for physical books (except for my copy of Art of Zootopia...and maybe other "Art of" books...I'm sad I can't find a real one for Robin Hood that's not already on the Blu-Ray I own).

if you're not doing FLIP-O-RAMA with physical copies then what's the loving point

I saw The Last Airbender at its midnight release having never seen a single episode (with friends who are all super into it) and I just thought it was funny-bad. My gf convinced me to watch the series with her just a few months ago and we decided to watch the movie after season one. I thought it was still pretty funny! But also I'm sorry for y'all OG fans :(

...oh who am I kidding? They'll still write them regardless.

My birthday is next week and my present to myself is to watch lovely animated movies that I've never seen.

So far, my list is Thugaboo: A Miracle on D-Roc's Street and this Tom and Jerry Wonka movie.

Also, I'm gonna check out American Gods too so that I don't go completely insane.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Yeah do something nice for yourself instead!

"The Emoji Movie is almost as bad and brutally depressing as everything else in 2017."

Acebuckeye13 posted:

"Sony Pictures Animation’s big new blockbuster has represented something very positive since the start of this summer movie season: hope. Specifically, the hope that — for 90 beautiful minutes — Hollywood would spirit us away to a cinematic world that was somehow actually worse than real life. What a gift it would be in July 2017 to leave the multiplex and actually come up on our way back to reality, to feel the faint nausea of ascension for the first time all year and be reminded that it’s still possible for things to get better."

again: you do realize "Poopypants" is not a traditional name in any actual language or culture, right? it has literally no other meaning beyond being a poop joke. you are way, way, way, way overthinking a really dumb scatological joke.

It sounds like if the character had been American, you could've had the haha poop joke without the xenophobic subtext

If any song should be cut it should be “Just Can’t Wait To Be King”. As catchy as it is I can’t imagine it working with the live-action aesthetic they’re going for.

John K sucks and has always sucked lock him in a flaming dumpster like the shitstain he is

in brighter news, I can confirm that this spoilery isle of dogs speculation:

Space Cadet Omoly posted:

The little boy comes to the island looking for his dog "Spots". When he gets to the island he meets a dog called "Chief" and they start looking for "Spots". Expect "Chief" and "Spots" are actually the same dog, it's just that dirt is covering up "Spots" Spots and he's been there so long he's forgotten his own name. So the whole movie is about Chief unknowingly going on a journey to find himself.

is in fact not correct, though the movie plays around with it and has a really cute scene where Chief is like "what the..."

surprising no one, isle of dogs is gorgeous, though i feel it would have benefited if none of the human characters spoke english

Oh ya I really liked that as well. My favorite being the runner short. I would be totally down for more animated anthology/collage movies. The Prophet is interesting and one of the first time I seen a newgrounds-style collab done, like, in theaters. Here is a trailer for anyone who is a little curious, it does a good job just showing the variety of different animation styles.

A version of the Prophet that edited out the framing device would be super dope, but as is the movie is merely dope
