doomrider7 posted:FML. I cannot imagine a studio sinking all the money into producing and marketing a movie and never releasing it. It'll come out, in some way, eventually. My guess is the studios are figuring out what this all means for scheduling, how to pace out releases without getting lost in the shuffle or overshadowed by other releases (or if we're all so desperate for content, especially for kids, they can release whatever whenever and parents will buy all of it). Some studios are probably just gonna lie low and wait for the theaters to come back, some are wondering if the theaters will come back, and some of the more sociopathic execs are probably debating whether they should try to lobby to get the theaters to open up ASAP and risk the media black eye if their movie causes a second wave coronavirus breakout and kills a couple thousand children. But nobody really knows what's going on, or what anyone's doing, so it's all crazy.

Macaluso posted:GOOD. I hope this starts a trend. Release all movies straight to streaming services so I never have to go to the movie theater again I mean, I actually LIKE going to the movie theaters so if we can have both that would be awesome, but it's a hard pass from me if it's just one or the other.

(Trolls World Tour)Pick posted:Slightly more unexpected is that it's essentially a completely different... story? than Trolls. No, I'm trying to think of how to phrase this. Like, more than not really relating back to the first movie, it's almost like the characters in a parallel world? The Bergens do get a mid credit scene lampshading their absence but it's obvious the studio really wanted this to be standalone.

I get the idea with quite a few franchise movies like Hellboy and maybe Smurfs that the first movie is full of concessions to get by the suits and the second movie is the one they really wanted to make.

I don't think Trolls 2 feels "meddled" with, outside of the weird inclusion of that random Troll from I guess the TV show or whatever she's from. I think it's more Trolls 2 feels like a movie Justin Timberlake wanted to make specifically, because it's so much more about music than the first one. Though seeing some of the animators talk about it on twitter, it seems like they had a blast doing Trolls 2 and visually it's certainly a step up from the first one (which already looked incredible)

So, Onward is a pretty solid little movie in the vein of other "fantasy meets real life" movies from the '80s and '90s. Not something I'll remember for the rest of my life, but pretty enjoyable. It does have one, and only one, thing in common with The Good Dinosaur: an overexplained "What If" setting that ends up not really feeling necessary. Very little about the story would've changed if the characters were just humans who were aware of D&D stuff and then found out it was real. A little less original I guess, but if they're not really gonna do anything with the unique setting other than some background gags... This seems to be a pattern, as I know TGD was originally going to be this whole "what if dinosaurs but suburban" thing. Someone keeps having that idea and it never really works out. E: Also, this really doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the movie, but I do have to wonder if Jack Black was ever in consideration to play Barley. Because the most succinct description of the character is just "Jack Black" Sir Lemming fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Apr 19, 2020 |

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Trolls 1 and 2 feels a bit like this, but reversed. I keep on thinking Troll 2, and vaguely recall that doesn't actually have any connection to Troll. But I think the other way around is probably even more common; the first movie is the original idea while the sequel is design by committee because they already used the good ideas and the original creators are usually checked out.

Also the evil rock n roll trolls made me think Brutal Legend.

Olaf in the cave is destroyed and his molecules will be redistributed throughout the oceans of the world. He grows only more powerful the more spread out he is. Following the established principle of ridiculus ridiculi insanimus, Frozen 10C will consist of nothing but images of Olaf looping while someone holds a single note for the entirety of the movie.

For Frozen 2 it is established that water is a memory storage medium so while it is not the same water used to build Olaf, there is effectively a continuity of consciousness so yes, your lovable pal Olaf remembers dying and can never suppress the memory of it.

Disney+ has The Sword in the Stone in 4K Dolby Vision and it looks spectacular. Actually has film grain and the color pops like 60s Technicolor. Looks exactly like the sort of remastering Warner has been doing for Blu-ray.

FilthyImp posted:It's very weird how they deal with their properties. Simpsons definitely looks like it was run through an SNES upscaler. Just tons of ruined and smeary fields of color. That was done by Fox prior to the Disney sale. I think some of the early seasons were remastered by Reliance Mediaworks, while the rest of the pre-HD seasons were not.

Even the living Olaf in Frozen 1 isn't the original Olaf; that was actually the snowman in the snowman building song. But for me, that raises an existential question. Olaf is only shown to remember events that Elsa and Anna have witnessed. Is Olaf, then, just based on Elsa and Anna's memories? Would Olaf in Frozen 2 remember his Frozen Adventure during Christmas? Would he remember Sora, Donald, and Goofy repairing him? And if he does lack this interiority, is he truly a person?

Since Elsa can manipulate water, she probably routinely clears out unused bits of local Olaf to keep him running smooth on his smaller capacity memory format and ports them back to the sea. So at any given time there is at least two olafs but for brief moments when water goes through the entire cycle they are the same person.

Speaking of The Simpsons on Disney+, are they ever going to fix the aspect ratio for the 4:3 episodes? I thought the official word was that it was happening this year, which I guess is still possible but they don't seem to be in a loving hurry.
