Prof. Crocodile posted:our antagonist's motivations are as unclear as our protagonist's character arc and the rules of the world they inhabit. really the only well-defined part of this film was brad pitt's role as the horny police, which in retrospect was the most compelling part of the story and was completely squandered. It’s pretty straightforward: Brad Pitt accidentally created the Cool World when he killed his mother in a psychosexual traffic accident. Despite the name, the Cool World is an extremely uncool world of adolescent fantasy bullshit that Pitt escapes into to avoid the reality of his mother’s death. Pitt lives in the Cool World for decades, in an emotionally-charged - but fully chaste - relationship with a cartoon-lady version of his mom. He’s desperate to prevent any consummation because of, y’know, the Oedipal nightmare of it all. In the meantime, Jack the cartoonist has gained the ability to ‘channel’ the logic of the Cool Wod to further his career in lovely alt-comix. It turns out that Brad Pitt’s dysfunction generates the exact kind of “50s culture but, like, hosed up” irony that 1992’s art-kids crave. After having suffered his own offscreen psychotic break, Jack ‘went too far’ and used his Cool World powers to create a fantasy replacement for his unfaithful wife. This is Holly Wood, whose sole defining character trait is her perpetual horniness for ‘real men’. Since only two ‘real men’ have ever existed in Cool World, and one’s a celibate weirdo, Jack ends up as Holly’s boyfriend by default. She’s effectively a robot programmed to gently caress him. The events of the film happen, so Holly is given consciousness/mortality and transported into the real world. There she discovers that, not only is there nothing unique about Jack, but that her cartoon bullshit is deeply embarrassing. So, long story short, Holly despises the real world and is inadvertently programmed to fully realize humanity’s innermost fantasies. This conflict leads her to become a despotic supervillain determined to obliterate humanity in the aforementioned orgiastic nightmare of madness.

jennifer stood alone for a few seconds in silent contemplation. "...wow," she said finally, and walked away.  nothing much had changed at the slash club. bosoms bounced, crotches bulged, tongues lolled, uncomfortable ethnic caricatures fired pistols into the ceiling. the perpetually partying doodles didn't seem to have noticed that anything had happened at all.  lonette wandered through the revelry as the saxophones grieved.   she paused outside the slash club and gazed into the night, her thoughts far away.   brad pitt's car was still parked on the curb. lonette stroked its sleek black hood as she passed by.  as she stepped into the glow of the streetlights, something caught her attention.  having had no training in the respectful handling of dead noids, nails had made the extraordinary decision to drape brad pitt's corpse across the sidewalk like a sleeping bum.  lonette gasped and fell to her knees beside the body. "oh, nails!" she cried. "he didn't make it, i'm sorry," nails informed her.    lonette beseeched the dead man not to leave her alone in this hellhole; but her pleas were in vain.    "who killed him, nails?!" lonette demanded. "he was pushed off a building!" sobbed nails.  "who pushed him?" "holli would!"   "holli would!" screamed lonette. "that bitch!"  lonette wept with the bitterness of a broken heart. the saxophones wailed their sympathies.

but then! "nails!" lonette gasped. "was she a doodle when she iced him?"  "yes, so what?!" squawked nails.   "what happens to noids who traffic in the cool world, nails?" lonette asked, in a tone that implied this was common knowledge. "when they get killed by a doodle, they become a doodle themselves!"  as she revealed this incredible fact, the dead body of brad pitt began to change.

Jennifer just wonders off and Nails leaves his best friends corpse on Lonette's porch, like you do. Cool World is cool like that.

So, all he needed to do to be allowed to bang his missus was have someone "kill" him so he would respawn? He obviously preferred being the celibate horny police. Now he has no excuse.

As toons don't die (note how easily Nails recovered from the extremely dangerous pen injury) this rule seems like it would be hell on population control.

Tree Bucket posted:In your professional opinion- In terms of portfolio and industry connections, you'd have no trouble. The work still speaks for itself and you're considered solely for the strength of your own work, not the strength of the production. I also imagine since BGs are early production (and based on how phenomenal they turned out), the BG artists were working with a lot of hope through the majority of the project. Though you can kinda see the quality fall apart during that climax. That, along with the ADR'd in voices make me think that was the last scene produced and deeeeep into studio meddling. The art departments were likely aware that the floor was falling out from under them at that point. In terms of the general public, they're probably loving livid. Joe Shmoe ain't looking at the quality of the BGs. He just recognizes that you worked on a poo poo movie and thus, your work is poo poo. I worked on the goddamn Wonder Park TV show that will never see the light of day because they hosed the movie so hard. A year and a half of my life is gone, but I got some portfolio pieces and a good paycheck from it. Still a little annoying to think about, but you kinda go from the mindset of "I'm giving this my all!" to "Oh, this is just a job." Incidentally, my later work on that WP show got loooooaaaded with Communist propaganda once I realized no one gave a poo poo. You make your own fun.
