SolarFire2 posted:There are legitimately people who are shocked and dismayed that a sequel to a movie made over twenty years ago, which was itself spawned from a series of commercials, is itself just a long commercial for Warner Brothers? What were they expecting? Honestly it’s just the boring way they used the IP poo poo that annoys me. The Lego movie was pretty good and that was a big IP test.

I forget, aside from this movie did Jeff Bergman also voice Bugs in Back in Action (I know Billy West did in the original Space Jam)? I know Bergman’s played the character off and on since way back in Tiny Toons at least. Edit: Back in Action was the late Joe Alaskey apparently Larryb fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Jul 21, 2021 |

The more I look at it the more I absolutely despise the animation in Space Jam 2. It’s that unique kind of bad you get when a project has a ton of money and talent behind it but zero passion (think modern Simpsons). I’d rank it below even Johnny Test I think, that’s how unpleasant I find it.

Off the subject, reviews are out for He-Man Revelation and…it’s certainly a thing: (MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD) Adam dies. Twice. First in the opening episode after the power sword breaks, the second is when he returns in episode five, having left the Preternian afterlife to reclaim the sword after Roboto re-forges it. Skeletor, who has also been absent since episode one (save for flashbacks), suddenly comes out of hiding just as Adam is about to transform into He-Man and skewers him, claiming the sword as his own and becoming a Master of the Universe...the Skelegod Orko, who the reviews claim has the most surprisingly fleshed out story, sacrifices himself in episode four Apparently there’s also some mild swearing and gruesome moments inspired by Akira: https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/fantasy/masters-of-the-universe-revelation-review/

Wild Side was a good-rear end song and I listen to it on the regular. While I really enjoyed the Beastars manga, I can't get into the anime. The animation is really good for CG and there's virtually no way to animate those characters without it, but it distracts my brain HARD and takes me out of the story. So I just love the poo poo out of the first OP and that little Haru watercolor sequence. 701 crew is cute as hell and I love all the waggy tails.

Larryb posted:Back In Action still remains the only good Looney Tunes movie (mostly because it was more about them than it was the human actors, or at the very least the two sides got fairly equal billing). Also I’ve always been a Daffy fan so it was pretty good in that regard as well. the michael jordan cameo

One thing I enjoy about these anime series aimed at a Western market release is that they really let the dubbers go wild and creative with their reinterpretations, while keeping the subtitles a more literal translation. "For better or worse, I have my pride"  e: similarly,  Subtitles: "That's our society's bottleneck. I want to restructure our society." Dub: "Late stage capitalism is such a pain. That's why it's gotta go!" Data Graham fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Jul 24, 2021 |

Yeah, that was much better than I was expecting. A pity we’ll have to wait until next year for the second half. So since Revelation as a whole is just a short little miniseries aimed at older fans is there a particular reason why they had to split it up into parts instead of just dumping the whole thing on us all at once? From what I understand the CGI reboot will be more of a full fledged series ala SPoP (complete with a few character redesigns from what little we’ve seen). Speaking of, now that Revelation is out I wouldn’t be surprised if they start promoting the other show a bit more before too much longer.

My thoughts on Space Jam: -- I think that if you got rid of some of the creepy cosplayers and cut down on the WB universe hopping to 1 to 2 jokes that things would have been much better and it would actually be a decent kids movie. I think maybe just limiting it to kids stuff would be cool. Like imagine how less grotesque the whole crowd scenes would be if it was just unused Loony Tunes characters with Hanna Barbara, Cartoon Network characters, and other WBA animation stuff like Iron Giant. -- I'm surprised that there isn't more eyebrow rising about Toon LeBron clearly having a really different skintone than actual LeBron. it was kind of jarring to see him transform between the two, and it's not even the first time that LeBron was in WBA cartoon. So, it's not even an issue of shading in animation. -- Porky rapping works better in context? -- The Jordan joke was funny -- I kind of wish Sarah Silverman was in it more -- Sonequa Martin-Green is a pretty good actress forever caught in lovely stuff. It was funny to see how much she actually put into her role. -- gently caress you LeBron, you're not a Hufflepuff and you loving know it

The CG in Beastars is amazing. I can’t get over how much better it is that literally any other tv cg animation, and also pretty much all of Japan’s theatrical cg efforts. The acting is so specific and they’re using mocap but retargeting it so well and playing up certain bits and getting good poses, it looks incredible. All those face rigs for all those different species, alongside the fur shadow texture mapping and so on... there’s not a single bad shot. And it can be viscerally horrifying at times because the the compositing and music and shot composition is great too. The new opening being a lot of reuse animation cleverly composited is probably due to time constraints or covid or a decision from someone that the opening had to look more like the style of the actual show. They’ve still got an artsy ending.

And it can be viscerally horrifying at times because the the compositing and music and shot composition is great too. Ehh... I don't know, I do agree it's very well realized in general, but one gripe I have about it is that it's so slow-moving. Like any time when you have just two characters sitting and talking, the facial and hand movements all seem to go about half the speed they would in real life. Just hands slowly waving smoothly through the air in a way you'd never do yourself, or a facial reaction or take that plays out in three seconds when it should be a blink of an eye. It's a complaint I've had about CG since like the mid-90s, where the cheap stuff would always have characters doing these vague languid *slowly wave hand through the air, then change direction and slowly wave hand the other direction* type gestures that just feel completely alien and uncanny. Like, to feel human you have to have quick, sharp, subtle movements mingled in with the "move anchor point A from point X to Y and trigger animation curve Beta while camera swoops all around in a 360-degree arc" Beast Wars/Mind's Eye type stuff. But I'unno maybe that's me

Hmm yeah there probably is a bit of floatiness that happens with the animation due to the mocap cleanup but I don’t feel like anything is timed badly. Maybe they’re easing into poses over longer periods of time to get the “pose” feeling of Japanese animation without removing the ambient motion of a real performance.

I honestly found the third act of Space Jam: A New Legacy to be almost literally unwatchable, so distracting were the dozens of extras wearing Party City costumes disjointedly fist-pumping during whatever basketball-adjacent cartoon mischief was happening on court, but also during every timeout or stoppage in play. My eyes kept sliding off of the extremely bland foreground action and onto "welp, there's Space Ghost. There's the Droogs. There's Jabberjaw."

Stop motion is the coolest thing. It combines miniatures, animation and horror so beautifully and those are all my favorite things ever. You gotta be a goddamn genius to work in it as every situation calls for creative solutions with electrical engineering, carpentry, metalwork, mechanics, SFX, sewing and sculpting. Their capacity to think outside the box is absolutely awe-inspiring. Meanwhile I literally watch movies and listen to books as I work.

Whilst waiting for Tippet's work to release, try a little Jan Svankmeyer or The Brothers Quay. If you haven't seen their work before, they should be just the sort of thing you'll enjoy.
