I love it when a trailer starts to derail after a minute. Truly love it.



Especially considering the art critic film it initially appears to be could be a thing in and of itself, it’s a genuine shifting of gears and not a shallow device for the trailer

No joke, I somehow got it in my head that The Guest was a romantic drama. That was a fun experience.

He’s got just enough self awareness that he doesn’t take himself remotely seriously, so there’s a certain charm to it. I guess he’s like Channing Tatum with even less range?

He's very good in it but part of the humour of his scenes is from having watched him in his various roles over the years. His character in Spy is Self-Parody Jason Statham.

That’s a good read on it, definitely agree, as much as it’s fun to see his overly testosterone-fueled macho man routine self-parodied, it’s way better when it’s a guy who’s done it unironically for so long. Shades of Schwarzenegger in Last Action Hero I guess

we really ought to have Jason Statham take up his rightful place as the modern Leslie Nielsen. he was able to sell everything in Spy so perfectly without breaking character one.

That’s actually not a bad idea, if nothing else the martial arts skill likely lends itself to pratfalls

Kind of funny how this movie is still not out. It was originally being produced/distributed by The Weinstein Company but then 2017 happened and well...

I love this just from a pet-owner standpoint, because as much as my dog is my life, he’s also massively anxious around lots of people, so the answer is that I’m cautious and play to his needs in what environments I take him to. What I DON’T do is not only provoke the little fucker but destroy my workplace by taking him with me and creating constant pandemonium, no matter how much I like his company!

It works better in the play because the actors are supposed to be cats but they wear clothing and makeup to achieve that effect. In the movie they're just a bunch of weird nude bipedal cats.

I still want answers about the general scaling of everything. Setting aside that it seems to change from set to set, a bunch of those shots imply these are extra tiny cats, cockroach size? There’s no way they should be THAT tiny relative to everything else!

Looks like they're just condensing all the various owners to just Harrison Ford. Which kind of removes a lot of the drama of the story if he's just owned by a guy who likes him? Also with the feel good nature of the trailer I'm also guessing they removed the part where Buck violently kills the lead dog of his sled in a big fight.

I mean I agree, but I’ll also get some bourbon and watch grandpa Ford hang out with a dog for 2 hours and bawl shamelessly and enjoy every last second of it. It’s like bonding with my dad and my dog all at once!

Yeah, before this whole thing got underway, I thought Keanu would be fine because he somehow still looks the same, but was a little worried if Alex Winter would still have it.

Now having seen the trailer, it’s the opposite. Bill looks and acts like Bill, but there’s something off about Ted. He looks like serious and worried instead of carefree and happy and a little confused like he should.

But like you said, that could be a plot point about middle-age and Life taking some of the wind out of Ted’s sails and his journey back to being Excellent.

It was the voice for me, he can try, but he can’t take 30 years out of his voice.

Hot take, I liked Princess and the Frog WAY more than Moana

thrawn527 posted:

Not necessarily a hot take, they're both great films. A lot of it comes down to if you prefer 2D vs. 3D animation, and what style of music you prefer. But there's no losers in which movie you like better. They're both much better than the older traditional animated Disney movies.

Personally, I like Moana not even bringing a romantic subplot up even once, which is refreshing as hell for a Disney movie, and the message of how Moana "defeats" the movie's "villain", as where Princess and the Frog has a bit more of a traditional arc, romantic lead, and villain, even if she absolutely has more agency and leads the story more than those traditional movies. But Princess and the Frog also came first, and you wouldn't have Moana without Tiana. Also, the music in Princess and the Frog slaps.

My 4 year old daughter loves both. Her favorite Princess to meet at Disney World by far is Tiana (there isn't anywhere to meet Moana that I'm aware of yet, though there's a Moana area being built soon at Epcot.)

I was mostly being flippant, but yeah, I'm an absolute sucker for Disney trying to cling to the 2D animation for another go, plus that soundtrack absolutely spoke to me. The romance point is a great one though!

I was unaware that people hate Toy Story 4 which I enjoyed.

This is insane to me, as much as I understand why people would be tired of the franchise, and I do think it's run its course, I also would've said that after the third one. TS3 was a great capstone to the original stories, but the TS4 came along and showed how Woody could grow and reinvent himself (like, AGAIN) and have it be a touching, lovely journey. Plus, to relate it back to thrawn527's note on the resolution to the plot in Moana, the villain wins and it's a good thing! It's actually super sweet and touching! TS4 floored me that they could keep coming back to the same well and have it continue to be wonderful to both me and my daughter, I absolutely hold it in the same regard as its predecessors.

I really really did not like Inside Out. Then again, I was in a depressive funk when I watched it and I hated the Sadness character so much, and in the end she's made out to be a hero that saves the day (yes, I know depression and sadness aren't really the same thing and that I'm projecting quite a bit, she's still a terrible annoying character though). I understand the movie's message and don't disagree with it, but the way it conveyed it sucked. Plus the whole "journey to return to the control room" story line did nothing for me.

On the other hand, Coco is amazing.

Lol, this was me 100% as well with Inside Out, but given how much people love it I figured I’d just seen it in a real bad mood or something, and I’ve never bothered to revisit.
