AceOfFlames posted:Psssh. If you want REAL drama and complex themes, you need to go with Transformers: I already know and love it. Last Stand of the Wreckers got me on board, More Than Meets the Eye kept me there. I'll always have a soft spot for Furman and his Furmanisms, to the point where I sometimes end up using Furmanisms in my own writing without realizing it, but James Roberts is on a whole other level.

I love Optimus Prime the political theory nerd Also seems implied that the Transformers actually picked up democracy from humans. Kinda easy to forget that Optimus Prime is basically a monarch by divine right.

Weirdly enough "the planet full of robots pick up things from exposure to Earth culture" is a concept visited a few times. Those are some good books!

END ME SCOOB posted:Another possibility: Pluto. It definitely has some of the same DNA. I was gonna say in response to the GDT news that who gives a flying gently caress about a new Pinocchio movie, at least update it and make it a cyber Pinocchio or something and then I realized that would just be Pluto and why the gently caress is GDT not making a Pluto movie.

I have the feeling GDT’s Pinocchio will turn out like Fantastic Mr. Fox and Isle of Dogs: Great cast, gorgeous stop motion animation...and get middling views and be completely forgotten about in a few months.

Regardless of Tenet's quality, I am happy to hear that Michael Caine is once again back to explain the core premise of this Nolan movie.

I love Nolan’s films because I actually prefer my films be a bit too self-serious but I cannot defend him anymore after he demanded the poors die of the plague so he could be a savior of cinema.

Isle of Dogs had a bad script. It doesn't matter how good your animation is if your script is as languid and clunky as that. Hopefully GDT has had this thing in the back pocket long enough that he's got an airtight script, but looking at his track record, well... I'm more expecting an Isle of Dogs. The guy makes cool movies, but they're generally uneven.

I mean whatever your personal feelings on Nolan, there is no way Tenet's ever going to live up to expectations after all the waiting and bizarre bullshit that's built up around it.

It's about 50/50, the Japanese human characters were (afaik) all voiced by Japanese people, whereas white people pretty much only voiced dogs and one foreign exchange student character. edit: as I remember it the criticism was that it otherizes Japan pretty hard, acting like it's this mysterious foreign land. Also I think the Japanese in the script and printed on signs and stuff was perfunctory at best and generally pretty stilted, like they put very little effort into the Japanese language in the movie.

Wes Anderson is but one in a long tradition of American film directors with a self-professed fascination with Japan yet whose work demonstrates little interest beyond surface-level appropriation of symbols and decor

All I know about Tenet is that involves the time manipulation like the King Crimson stand, but has no humour or homo-eroticism to accompany.

The Klowner posted:Wes Anderson is but one in a long tradition of American film directors with a self-professed fascination with Japan yet whose work demonstrates little interest beyond surface-level appropriation of symbols and decor I mean overall the movie is fine, it's occasionally pretty humorous and the plot isn't that bad, as someone who doesn't speak or read Japanese it didn't stand out to me. I think it's something that would have had a good opportunity for another layer so it's a shame he didn't find a Japanese screenwriter with a similar aesthetic to him to collaborate with. I think it would have given some nice dimension and would allow for some bilingual jokes. Payndz posted:Of the Nolan movies I've seen (missed the most recent couple), the best were his lower-key, more personal ones: Memento, Insomnia, The Prestige. His big-budget actioners feel... empty, somehow. There's a clinical, sterile feel to them that works against any emotional engagement. He's as technically proficient as, say, James Cameron, but it all comes off as almost mechanical. Someone on these forums was talking about Interstellar when it came out and made the point that it's really weird how it's a movie essentially about reproducing but it's totally sexless. Not like that it doesn't have people loving, there's like this anhedonic element of sterility suffusing the whole thing because all of his movies are like that.
