So, uhm... I kind of liked the live action Beauty and the Beast? It was pretty, and even though the Beast's design is really absolute garbage, everyone else's were pretty good. I liked the Lefou subplot, and the extra story bits they added all had a purpose and, well, just kind of worked for me. It didn't wow me of anything but it did it entertained me decently enough.

I can't stand the basic premise of "Look at these millennials, so entitled and always glued to their screens!" It feels like a kids' movie that for some reason wants to cater to cantakerous seniles.

I recognize that it's petty and stupid to drag this up but I kind of have a grudge over it. GBS is such absolute garbage and Hemingway cherry-picked posts to make the thread look much worse than it was and I'm still salty even though I haven't posted there in months, I guess.

The pony trailer was alright but bronies completely soured the show for me. Not because of "cringe" or whatever but because a good chunk of them were (or are) actively terrible people dedicated to doxxing and death threats.

Don't use autistic as an insult people, jesus christ how are we still having this discussion. For what it's worth I liked Inside Out but I'm easily swayed by interesting concepts even when the execution is flawed. It might be what's happening here, I don't know. I feel like a story about accepting that sadness is an healthy thing to have and to express is an important moral that we don't see often enough.

I wouldn't go as far as call it Randian, but saying that the message of the Incredibles is something along the lines of "Some people are just better than others and they shouldn't be forced to stay at the same level of the unwashed masses" wouldn't be a stretch.

My theory: there are actually multiple Grinches. They see referred to as "the Grinch" by their surrounding communities because they are not aware of Grinch society at large. This is backed up by the fact that, in "The Grinch Grinches the Cat in an Hat", the local Grinch's reflection tells "I think the time had come for thee to recite the Grinch's oath with me", which seems to imply that there is a dispersed but very real society of Grinches our there dedicated to being an asocial curmudgeon.

Barudak posted:Working at Disney, at least about 4 years ago, was 50% cultists who could not forsee a better life than working there who artificially depressed the wages of the other 50% who were slowly reduced to spending their days fantasizing how to kill Mickey Mouse. Wait. How did they reduce other people's wages? I'm having trouble visualizing it.

Honestly it's not even the princesses or Disney jerking off to how cool they are that bothers me, but all the name-dropping of companies like Google, Amazon etc. It really does feel like a giant advertisement. The joke about the princesses was fun but I really dont want to watch something so corporate-driven. I have to endure enough of that stuff in my everyday life.

Neon Noodle posted:With assholes like this, what we can't know is all the good and creativity that his misogyny and predatory actions prevented from coming into the world. I feel like this deserves to be underlined, too. How many masterpieces have never seen the light of day because they were created by a person of color or a woman who didn't step in line? (Note: even if that number was zero, that still would not make this okay. But I feel like it's worth pointing out that we're missing out on a ton of alternative takes because assholes like that one are in charge)
