There are probably some people who would claim it's a "metaphor" and I "just didn't get it", but I think the movie "What Lies Below" just sucks. It's weird, boring, and the ending ends up just being kind of lame even if they did try and go for a untraditional non-convenient-happy-ending ending. the dude's an alien/monster thing....OK, and? They never do anything with it. He's just some bug alien impregnating the girl's mom with baby bugs and then kills the girl at the end after dropping a shiny blue ball down her throat. Also the part with the menstruation and the guy licking it off his fingers was just weird and unnecessary (especially since it was a teenager still in highschool). There were so many other red flags that the guy was probably an alien, we didn't need that. It's one of those movies that just leaves you feeling like "that's it?". yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 21:59 on May 1, 2021 |

Out of all the live action poo poo they could pull from, the gently caress is Disney thinking with Cruella? Hey remember that crazy bitch who wants to skin puppies? LET'S MAKE HER RELATABLE AND A TRAGIC VILLAIN SOMEHOW.

I want Cruella to be a cinematic shitpost. Everyone expects them to try to make her relatable, but they just make her a total lunatic, like in the Starkid musical Twisted where every other disney villain has a cameo in one song talking about their untold pure motivations and then Cruella comes out with "I only wished to have a coat made out of puppies!" and everyone else just shouts her off the stage with a "WHat the gently caress Cruella? Who does that? Weirdo." Also I liked Maleficent partially because of it's flaws -the first one was hilarious with how the only reason Maleficent wound up the hero was everyone else being so incompetent she was the only person who could foil her, and I felt that Mistress of Evil was allowed to have more fun because it wasn't saddled with having to tell the story of Sleeping Beauty again - I thought there were some clever and imaginative things in that second movie, like Aurora Faking doing the bedsheet rope cliche to distract some guards so she could escape and Michelle Pfeiffer using the spindle to "kill" her husband while also having a plan that revolved around inviting Maleficent to a thing (the latter thing I just thought was a cute idea). Also the dialog had it's moments, like when the crow boi is talking about having a more impressive animal form and she just retorts with "Why are we talking about bears?" Overall I thought Jolie was a highlight, she was obviously having a lot of fun. BioEnchanted has a new favorite as of 05:56 on May 2, 2021 |

I'm vey curious how/if they're going to make Cruella relatable or sympathetic, considering what she's known for is literally used as a shorthand for ridiculously over the top unforgivable evil. Not 'spend $30' curious, but curious none the less.

I get what you're saying, though. Every other Disney villain you can think of has a motivation you can, if not sympathize with, at least understand. Revenge. Greed. Lust for power. Jealousy. Cruella... this bitch just wants to literally skin some puppies. Nobody can relate to that. Nobody thinks that's cool. That's just psychotic, serial killer behavior. Literally "killing puppies" is hyperbole we use to describe the worst kind of person we can imagine.

Plot twist: Cruella invented a literal puppy mill so she could use the locomotion of dogs for industrial labor. She wanted the puppies to make the coat and provide them with a steady wage, not literally make a coat out of puppies. Or those dogs were just really annoying and keeping her awake with their constant barking, until she becomes half mad due to sleep deprivation. It's like The Machinist, but with puppies.

At least if they'd bit down on 'Cruella is Anita's ex and wildly jealous of Roger and has swerved that spite onto the dogs' we could have had a good old-fashioned homophobic tragedy plot. No wait that would have been worse.

I watched a bunch of the 101 Dalmations spinoff series that every animated movie seemed to have in the 90s, did have some fun dynamics. Was interesting in a few episodes (and iirc, the movie) where whenever Cruella is trying to get a rich socialite to marry her, the puppies (after some argument) actually help her as much as they can, under the reasoning that either Cruella will likely move away and be somebody else's problem, or at least no longer spend all of her time antagonising them in particular.

Something that came up in a comic I'm reading but also happens plenty in TV and cinema: the idea that the police won't look for a missing person (even a kid) unless they've been missing for at least 24 or sometimes even 72 hours is a myth that has to loving die already. It's dumb, stupid storytelling that has no bearing on reality, especially when it comes to kids.

It wasn't a single litter of 101 puppies, Pongo and Perdy had 15 puppies and the rest were from various other litters her henchmen had captured before hand and altogether including Pongo and Perdy there is 101

The Bloop posted:Maleficent was good. Maleficent annoyed me in the way that the baddie guy was portrayed. The guy who was Wickus in District 9 and Murdoch in The A Team. You have him as a youngster, and he and Maleficent are friends/crushes until he is forced by his dad to chop off her wings. Which he does with a heavy heart. So I was thinking, this is cool, we get a tragic pained villian in this telling of the story of a different story's tragic pained villain. Nup, from that point on, Wickus just becomes evil brooding bad guy, and there is no more subtlety or characterization to him as he does gets eviller and growlier as the film moves on. This is a petty whinge, but I would have liked to see his character fleshed out further, especially from how it started. I also didn't like the relationship between Maleficent and Sleeping Beauty. That seemed to me to be the filmmakers laying on the "Angelina Jolie is really REALLY the goodie in this movie. She is the virtuous one!" extra thick. The trailers I have seen for Cruella make it look silly and campy, with Emma Thompson chewing scenery. So that looks fun. Edit: put in the correct name of the princess.

I also liked the idea of the clause she added to her curse screwing her over, aka "She will be loved by ALL who meet her". Whoops. Should have excluded herself from that bit.

There's a part in Innerspace where Martin Short is getting chased by the bad guy from Commando and tiny Dennis Quaid in his bloodstream to trying not to get crushed by his pumping heart. The way Small Quaid escapes is by using his ship to tear a hole in Martin Short's artery and fly out through it. Which seems like it should've effected Martin Short a lot more than it did.

Inner Space also glosses over the fact that Martin Short has to live the rest of his life with the corpse of that henchman in the second tiny ship floating around in his body. They may have had the dude die by being killed by stomach acid, (I don't remember fully), so if that's the case, then he poos out the dead man encased in his tiny craft, please forgive my objections.

Yeah, Dennis Quaid has the line "Jack... it worked. You just digested the bad guy.” Always stuck with me because I think even as a child, I at least subconsciously found it hosed up how out of place that seemed in an otherwise PG movie.
