I haven't see any of the takes or videos but if we assume there is any truth to the idea that you couldn't make "Blazing Saddles" today I imagine its because it would be far too risky and subversive for a major studio to greenlight.

Maybe you should, I dunno, actually watch Calico Heart's video. It's actually quite short* and very good!

inglorious bastards and django unchained came out recently and do the same poo poo

the only reason people whine about Mel Brooks films not being around anymore is because Mel Brooks is 200 years old and constant gag films are too risky for big budget studios on people who they can't guarantee their 600+ gags per film will be funny to a mass audience

This is a really huge thematic element, and it definitely extends outside of Bloodborne.

I know that this is from a few pages back, but earlier today I started thinking about FromSoft's VR game Déraciné and realized that it also deals with this theme as well!

I'm now really curious to look back at Miyazaki's output in another ten years to see what the grand unified theory of his work will be.

Referring to the states with the most gay married couples and the most black people as 'an ocean of cross-burning gay beaters' is actively horrific and monstrous, holy poo poo.

Also to bring us off moviebob chat, Defunctland's most recent video is really good. Starts with an explanation of the office work environment in the Snow White era of disney, funny asides about the Snow White wrap party, sharp left turn into Walt's fullthroated attempts to Destroy The Communists.

I kinda want to see Defunctland take critical eye to Disney+'s The Imagineering Story. Because while it's remarkably self-reflextive for Disney, it's still Disney talking about Disney so you're not going to get the whole hard truth. It's a really great documentary series on its own, no doubt, but you can still kind of tell where they're holding poo poo back that's unfit for public consumption, especially in regards to Walt.

I feel like the most damning thing about that show is that despite all the access Disney would have on each of those rides, such as being able to interview people and unreleased archival footage, it manages to be less interesting and informative tham a Defunctland episode.

It's still a fun watch, like finding out that the guy who designed Matterhorn self taught himself trig for it, but it never goes as in-depth as I'd like.

Nowhere near as bad as One Day At Disney though, which is an hour of Disney employees telling you how great working at Disney is in a documentary created by Disney for consumption on the Disney streaming service.

Yeah Lindelof has been saying for a while that he had no real plans to do S2.

It is October 21. The AVClub posted:

[Lindelof] also confirms that, should HBO decide to renew Watchmen for a second season, he probably won’t be heading it up. “[It’s] not my story, right? I appropriated it,” he says. “And so the idea that someone else could come along and do another season of Watchmen, that’s really exciting to me, too. I would watch the gently caress out of that. These nine episodes are sort of everything that I have to say at this point about Watchmen, and then we’ll kind of go from there.”

In the first one he covers Doom II on GBA - his point wasn't that the games aren't known, it's that the platforms they end up on are surprising to some. He specifically says in the video that peoples minds were blown when he first mentioned it was on the SNES!

Captain Blood is good fun and its a shame its language based gameplay wasn't carried over to its two sequels, or to any other game really. Commander Blood and its French language only sequel Big Bug Bang are fairly standard FMV adventure games. And by standard I mean in gameplay because as far as visuals they are nuts.

I'm not saying that literally everything in his work is directly related to Buddhist theology, but any analysis piece about his oeuvre that doesn't at least mention the Buddhist influence is significantly incomplete. Even Armored Core goes there with characters like Sadhana.

Also, he's a gigantic Berserk fanboy. Always has been, always will be.
