Did people finally realize that "SJW" doesn't mean anything and started saying "cuck" in place of it? Cause it's used in like, the exact same way. Though it still doesn't mean anything

The thing I remember most about John K's somewhat recent nonsense is him bitching about current CG animated shows or movies and then being all "back in my day" about like The Flintstones or some poo poo. I roll my eyes so hard at that kind of snobby bullshit

An Extremely Goofy movie is a bad movie

Phylodox posted:

Also, Max is kind of a shithead in this movie. Although, Goofy is pretty ridiculously co-dependent.

Also this. Like, in the first movie, it was easy to see the viewpoints of both sides. Both of them had reasons for acting the way they did, so I never felt like Max was too much of a jerk to be relatable. He was a high school kid that wanted to be independent and cool and felt trapped by his dad, everyone knows what that feeling was like. But in the sequel, he's no longer a high schooler and the entire scene where he's leaving his dad to go off to college just makes Max look like a huge rear end in a top hat. Similar with Goofy where they tried to do similar things to the first movie and went way too far in the wrong direction and made him this really weird sad co-dependent mess.

Also literally everything to do with the x-games stuff was dumb as hell. Also they eat nachos in a really gross manner. That movie sucks

Also that she always treats him like a man, and holds him responsible as such. She never lets his being a beast be an excuse, because she does not see him as a beast.

Plus if anyone is a beast it's the loving evil witch that punished a literal child to a cursed life as a monster as well as punishing all the servants that lived in the castle as well. It's like of loving course the Beast is such a poo poo when Belle first meets him, he was turned into a monster as a child and had basically accepted that he was never going to be transformed back. Meanwhile the evil witch that apparently goes door to door cursing naughty children was clearly capable of magic and didn't actually need to stay in the castle in the first place.

We need a Beauty and the Beast sequel where Beast (who now has the ability to shift back and forth between his human form and beast form, like a werewolf) and Belle go on an adventure to find and kill this evil witch that is making her way around the world probably cursing other children for like not eating their peas or some poo poo

I might get drawn and quartered for saying this, but I'm not really the biggest fan of Don Bluth's stuff. Most of his stuff is.....the best way I can put it is visually off-putting. I can't really articulate why, I just don't like it.

Also he has a bad habit of drawing small girls with bedroom eyes and THAT'S WEIRD.

The reactions to all of this are incredibly hostile.

That's not too surprising. Every place keeps going on about omg it's Disney's first openly gay character go Disney!!! Except that the character is the lackey of one of the grosser Disney villians and if he's anything like the animated version he's mostly a joke character. I'm not gay so I can't really comment on how the gay community feels about it, I've just seen this response on twitter a lot from gay people I follow. I think it's more people are more annoyed at everyone patting Disney on the pack for this than the actual character itself

the first spongebob movie is a lowkey masterpiece

it kinda reminds me of how the simpsons had a really nasty subversive edge to it for the first...seven or so seasons? and then eventually barreled into its own success and settled for being generically pretty good (and then getting bad)

spongebob did basically the same thing, and the movie is the exact cutoff point, in my mind, between it being a worthy successor for the insanity of the 90s, and becoming nickelodeon's 'please give us ad money' show

Band Geeks was the peak, and then the movie was the victory flag on top of the mountain. and then it was all downhill from there. The second movie was weird but ok. Not great.

I never got around to seeing Mad Max: Fury Road, and I still haven't seen it. I have it just sitting around here waiting to be watched. But I'm super apprehensive about watching it at this point because I haven't seen a movie hyped up like that in a long time.

OK the brutal scene is when Beast dies. In this version all the servants are turned into antiques forever so you have this scene where they're all panicking as they're slowly changed in furniture. You have the loving dog crying and keeling over. You have Mrs Potts going crazy, panicking where Chip is as she dies. Cogsworth and Lumiere saying goodbye. It's incredibly emotional and, just... wow. You really have to see it to appreciate it. It's a great scene.

Whoa what?

It's pretty harmless and has some monster and truck action. It feels very much like a kids movie, and I got kind of a 90s vibe from it and I don't know if that's because it actually reminds me of 90s stuff or just because I was exposed to more of this kind of movie/show at that time. Just the tone and the acting had that feel to it for me.


Just a few random thoughts:
The villains were an evil oil corporation that had taken over a small town and didn't give a poo poo about the environment (one of the characters is an environmental scientist, played by Thomas Lennon from Reno 911, who works for the oil company and falsifies data so he they can dig on what would otherwise be protected land), which was good. The main villain is Rob Lowe, but I don't think they had him on set for very long. All the bad guy stuff is done by proxy by his security contractor and their leader. At one point he gets a call during a meeting, and then at the end of the movie, there's a montage of all the characters, and he's in the same boardroom being arrested, as if they had to shoot something of him getting his comeuppance with what little time they had left of him being on set. The product placement was pretty intrusive. Everything is Dodge, one of the characters works at a Dodge dealership, and the dealership is a major plot point. Frank Welker plays the monster. It has a lot of time put into setting up the premise of monsters driving trucks, which makes sense because it was meant to set up a toy line or franchise or something.

But yeah not a good movie by any stretch, but I didn't really find it boring or too obnoxious that I can remember. Most of it's pretty forgettable. The synopsis section of the Wikipedia page has been asking to be expanded since January.

All that sounds good to me! Sounds about right, very much a just fun kids movie.

The product placement wouldn't bother me at all, but I also just never understand complaints about product placement in the first place. Every direction I can currently look there's a brand named product of some kind, almost every second of every day of my real life

Yeah but I mean... it's a movie about trucks. If they were constantly talking about Pizza Hut while driving their Dodge trucks I suppose that might be a bit jarring
