There’s reasons he’s gotten like, no major work, since Nickelodeon, and that’s before he was outed as a pedophile. Nah. All you have to do is look at the other stuff he did to know that all Spike did was let him go unfiltered. I used to be huge into Ren & Stimpy in college and even made a fan site at the time (because I was getting into web design at the time and I might as well make a site about something I liked). If you have to look up examples, look up Jimmy The Idiot Boy or George American Liquor (which is also what got him fired). The dude was always a sleeze with woman, and that definitely showed up in the revival show. Then he took way too long to animate some episodes and that's what killed the revival. (And I can imagine low rating. God it was loving horrible.) Plus, he only did like the first season of 5 for the original Nick series. Nick made a studio to continue the show after they fired him, and that made the bulk of the episodes.

He's also a pretty elitist prick when it comes to animation before him. But yeah, one of the big reasons Jon K got let go wasn't because of how he kept skirting the line, but because he can't keep a schedule to save his life. With all the scummy poo poo, good riddance.

Yeah early Ren & Stimpy was good in spite of John K, not because of him. Without the restrictions Nickelodeon placed on the show you get something that is barely watchable (I think the Spike TV revival only lasted about 3-4 episodes before being mercifully shitcanned).

So D23 is this weekend, right? I genuinely wanna know what WDAS is doing beyond Frozen 2. While I not-even-remotely-secretly hope for a Zoo2pia, I really wanna see some not-sequels already; Moana feels like so long ago.

If we had to have remakebootquels, I’d love a new anthropomorphic Robin Hood movie in full Zootopia-style cg animation but with a plot this time and bringing in the modern Disney flair for big action adventures with lots of exciting setpieces. I’d also really like to see a Rescuers 3 for some reason? An actual sequel with the same characters and everything, but in the modern animation style. Just Bernard and Miss Bianca going on another adventure. That’d be cool. And of course Zootopia 2 is my number one most wanted film.

Into the Spider-verse opens up the possibility that maybe the next time we see Tom Holland, he'll be Peter Parker, just not MCU Peter, but good luck trying to explain that to the average movie goer.

Average Movie goes sees movie about Evil-Purple-Superman using a magic glove to control magic rocks to eradicate half of living beings in the universe. Some of these rocks come from: A British robot's head... A wizard's jewelry... and a former Nazi who now makes faustian deals. They then see the sequel where the superheroes use the power of shrinking to travel back in time to get the magic rocks but not the same magic rocks. A solider frozen in ice uses the literal God of Thunder's hammer to beat up Evil-Purple-Superman before an army composed of the displaced people of Asgard, an army of magic people, and the armies of a secret Futurist Utopia and Cool-Lady-Superman comes in the middle of the battle to help out as well. Internet asks in the year of our lord 2019, but will the average movie goer get it?

I just discovered that my local Netflix added Spider-man Into the Spideyverse. It took me a long time to realize it though, because they decided to translate the title and it's now called Spider-man a new universe. I'm currently still baffled why they decided to completely change the title. But, my netflix list of stuff to watch keeps growing!

Like I enjoy their movies and Raya looks like great fun, but this why I tend to find myself gravitating more towards stuff like The Secret Life of Pets or Angry Birds in that offer some levity and are mostly comedic films. The moveis look great, but it's just starting to feel like they're digging into the same soul search well and that's getting tiring. Not sure how else I can put it into words, but yeah.

Most of Reznor's score work is super chill and sounds like Ghosts I-IV, so you might be a little disappointed.

I just saw Weathering With You, Makato Shinkai's follow up to Your Name. It's another teen romance with supernatural elements, and pretty similar in feel. The romance aspect feels better, in that they at least spend some time together. Characters are still generic anime boy and girl in personality, but due to plotting it feels at least a little better. I was sold on the drama and action a bit better than in Your Name, and there are definitely some neat visuals. But as to the negative: it has a bunch of vague climate change denial messaging. Well, not necessarily denial, but denial that it matters. At two points it is stated that the changed climate and wild weather (caused by the supernatural element of the story, connected to the characters actions) isnt a new phenomena or strange, it's just weather patterns on a larger timescale than what humans are used to. In order to save the main girl's life they make a decision that leaves Tokyo permanently and completely flooded, with an implication that they could undo it if she gave up her life again. They choose not and decide it's completely worth it and it doesn't matter anyway (with one character telling them it is egocentric to think they caused the weather and another reiterating that Tokyo used to be a bay anyway). I really can't help but see this as a metaphor for climate change with the moral being that you should live selfishly. There are some real suss lines in there, things along the lines of "It doesn't matter so long as we can keep living like this".

Re: Soul -- That's super interesting and definitely has me more hyped for this movie, even though it sounds like a retread of Coco and even though I'm an advocate for Pixar chilling out and doing something silly for once. Reznor's soundtrack work, even at its brightest, has still been really on the chill side, so it'll be interesting to see what this turns into. The latest NIN record was actually full of weird saxophone stuff, so the possibilities are endless.

Thinking about it more, i might actually retract my positive points. The only thing that is better is that the main couple actually spend some time together. Beneath its slick production the writing is both extremely lazy and sloppy, full of coincidence and convenience. It's all paperthin. For instance, main guy is an extremely determined runaway and it's never explained why, it's just that the plot needs him to be. Main girl's mother having died recently doesn't seem to affect her emotionally at all, it's just kind of there to justify the plot beats they need to hit. It's incredibly similar to Your Name, which was already very generic anime stuff, but may actually have been stronger for its simplicity. This tries to do a little bit more but delivers poorly. To be honest I only bothered to see it because reviews mentioned "timely images of environmental/climate disaster" so I thought it might be a climate change movie, which it kind of is but not in the way I want.

The difference is that in LiS that ending is clearly intended to be the bad ending though. Even if you pick it as 'true to the character', the game doesn't sugarcoat the idea that as a result, basically everyone dies. And in the sequel comic following that ending, time continues to break down and Max is forced to go back in time and change things anyway.
