The sad thing is the studio Lasseter moved to has been flooded with applications since he joined and there’s even rumblings of high profile Pixar and Disney execs leaving to join him there.

Rumors have been claiming Disney execs have been leaving ever since the Star Wars fiasco. Also, they will probably have a repeat of that with Captain Marvel because of Brie Larson and the execs trying to spin it as a movie that it's not.

I mean, Pixar has been having a brain drain problem for years. I think people are just more willing to acknowledge and speak about it since Pixar's esteem has fallen recently and it suits the agenda of people on both sides to point it out, whether it's to frame it as people fleeing a toxic work environment or following their wrongfully excised boss. Same with the Star Wars/Marvel thing, a lot of the scuttlebutt is being perpetuated by angry fanboys who have a vested interest in showing that the people behind the scenes are just as mad as they are.

Sadly due to the lack of transparency and said conflict of interests there really isn't any good source for either beyond anecdotes and totally real "my uncle who works at Nintendo Disney told me..." stories.

Probably doesn't hurt/help that 'I worked at Pixar' is likely an instant ticket to anywhere else in animation.

Reminded of Adventure Time which suffered some brain drawn because half the main people on it got their own shows.

I got my source from some lovely website my roommate linked me to. I'm suspect of it so I won't link it here as I think it's just some angry fanboy or altright or whatever trying to sabotage the movie because he hates Star Wars. I went back to reread the post and it's super lovely so, apologizes for spreading that garbage.

For what it's worth, I liked the new SW movies and Captain Marvel looks like it's going to be good. I'm just not happy with CM releasing so drat close to Endgame and possibly making people skip CM once Endgame drops over stupid fan bullshit which might make Disney/Marvel think the movie flopped and not make any more female-lead movies in fear of it flopping.

This is what happens when every new piece of media has to erase all previous progress and be the groundbreaking first for comic book movies with a female/black main character, it means every failure must indict the entire concept, which obviously has never been tried before.

So I saw this film three times in a week now, and it really is amazing.

Two things though:


Gwen says she was in the other dimension for a week already, how did that work?



The bit with MJ at the Kingpin fundraiser thing, it looks like she gets up to do a speech and instead orders some bread. It felt weird.


Bit of a weird timing. Otherwise the movie is fantastic.

I have it in my head that one of these variations of Vanessa and son is from a dimension where Fisk is a totally normal and even cool dude, and this event just ruined his life as he comes home to Vanessa leaving him for no reason he can understand.

Presumably the supercollider hiccuped or something when it pulled her in. Considering everything else that happened, it doing funky things with spacetime. If you think about it, it might even be a stable time loop. If Gwen's not pulled in a week early, then Miles never gets his hand stuck to her hair, which was probably the catylyst for him finding out about his powers and going to find the spider, which leads to him getting tangled up in Peter's last fight. If Peter hadn't had to take time out to save him, then Gren Goblin might not have recovered in time to stop him from triggering the goober. But since he did, Peter got shoved into the supercollider, which in turn pulled Gwen into Miles' universe.

This deleted scene's pretty cool, although I think they were right to cut it. I think they used some of the dialogue for the trailer.

Fittingly, there was an alternate universe where Wilson Fisk adopted Matt Murdock. Matt ended up making him a better person with intent on going legitimate, but then Richard got jealous and pissy about it and had Wilson killed. Matt killed Richard and ended up being forced into being the new Kingpin.

Dumb gay forums stuff aside, i'm happy that a non-disney animated feature (and one with a black protag from a multicultural background that didn't shy away from urban culture) actually got a fair shake.

I was sure the voters were going to have another Get Out moment and overlook it. Wonder if the push to get more variety in the membership had an effect.

Looks like Vudu will offer Dolby Vision+Atmos but it'll depend on the platform you playback from.

Yea VUDU seems to be the best place for 4k rentals with HDR/Dolby. The stuff available on Prime has the 4k resolution but most of it isn't HDR enabled, as far as I know.

"You treat her like a lady... and she'll always bring you home."
Overheard in the Oscars green room after the ceremony:

“They got me,” Brad Bird said of Spiderverse's win over him. "That f***ing Lord and Miller boomed me."
Bird added, “They're so good,” repeating it four times.
Bird then said he wanted to add Lord and Miller to the list of filmmakers he collaborateswith this summer.

You can purchase on VUDU but considering the 4k+BRD+DC pack (due in 2 weeks) includes a digital copy, it may be an expensive double dip

That really wouldn't explain why people are following Lasseter to his new post, so I doubt that's what ThermoPhysical was talking about.

More broadly their attempt to transition Star Wars into an expanded universe franchise à la Marvel, a plan the looks to have been completely scuttled at this point.
