It looked pretty neat, but then it never actually opened in any theaters near me, bleh!

Some friends and I watched the Minecraft movie, the version without the finished VFX that's been floating around. It is "Okay" for its first act and then gets worse from there. The one vaguely interesting side-character (a big bruiser Piglin who's actually a pretty pleasant guy) gets unceremoniously offed halfway through. The soundtrack is insipid, Jack Black is all empty enthusiasm, the female characters get far less to do than the male ones in a way that felt weirdly regressive for a 2025 family film. The pacing is "kids won't pay attention unless we cut it down to TikTok briskness" and nothing has any room to breathe. There is some good voice work at least? I imagine if I saw the final version I would have liked it less - it was genuinely funny seeing the incomplete effects and also a fun peek behind the scenes. There are some fun ideas, some neat character and costume designs, and...two? three? good scenes? A couple of moments that reminded us "oh yeah this was directed by the Napoleon Dynamite guy". But it was impossible to care about any of them given how little interest the film had in itself.

Honestly, I think a lot of things would get better really quickly if we started having animated remakes of live action films. This philosophy is probably horribly wrong, but I'm gonna indulge in its sweet comforts a little longer.

First impulse is to go for something that's terrible or too adult. Showgirls. Caligula. But if the idea is the perversion of classics, I can't help but think there's gonna be a lot of hand-drawn Spielberg coming down the hypothetical pipe.

I do like the idea of picking something that failed and giving it another go. I'm throwing out Kevin Costner's The Postman. Just put a mailman in apocalyptic situations and animate the hell out of it.

God, genuinely, animating Water World might legitimately been a better way to get that movie made and maintain a reasonable budget.

So he ends up dumping her over it. But then later he regrets this so he goes crying back to her but she's already moved on and hooked up with a lady fox and they're totally a thing now. Which makes him insane with jealousy.

FunkyAl posted:A lot of books would work better animated. The Lemony Snicket Cartoon awaits in the distance. I think the Sonnenfield approach was probably the correct one. The worlds are bizarre, hyper-articulated and curlicued, but the people are real and so the emotional and physical violence is real too. I think the mix of live-action and might-as-well-be-animated production design captures that disjoint effectively. I think you'd lose a lot by rendering Olaf et. al. as actual animation -- in some sense counterintuitively, because of how much you'd end up gaining. Granting him the elastic and hyperreal qualities of animation makes his cartoonishness an essential part of him, and of his world. Rather than capturing the unfair horror of the Baudelaires insisting on the importance of civility and rationality while the seemingly immutable laws of the physical/legal/logical world refuse to comply, you're instead left with a world that was never bound by physics or logic in the first place. Cause at the heart of it, the Violet and Klaus are snobby wet blankets, and Snicket's a catastrophising neurotic. (Sunny's got potential.) They're squares who just want to sit inside all day and read and make sensible decisions, essentially parodies of good Victorian children from kid's literature. If their world wasn't so hosed up they'd be insufferable, and part of the fun of the books is the way they gently poke fun at their natures e.g. Snicket being equally appalled at being eaten alive and the idea of eating cold soup. And cartoons are fun and elastic and rule breaking and weird, that's their unique boone as animation.

I think the mix of live-action and might-as-well-be-animated production design captures that disjoint effectively. I would say an equally unique boon in animation is stillness, and even realism rendered with a certain amount of skill and restraint. I don't think Count Olaf or anyone would produce a stick of synamite, but a baby does have a swordfight with her teeth proximate to a man getting his arm chopped off by a saw. You may be able to do that more gruesomely in live action, but the range of animation blends it better than the fakey wacky affectation of the other ones. And I have a soft spot for the movie but I really don't like the Soddenfeld one.

I think its really fun that the author of that comic made two sequels essentially outlining "I wasn't even trying to make a political statement, I just wanted to write a drama about a relationship falling apart" and seemed genuinely baffled that people logically assumed it was a political thing. Extremely funny type of guy to me. Need more of that type of guy.

The plot is basically nonsense just meant to move the characters from setting to setting, but overall I would recommend it for anyone who wants some light entertainment for 90 minutes. I thought it was better than the Mario movie, at least.
