I watched the first three episodes of that "Dandandan" a few weeks ago, based on the strength of that opening title sequence, and... - The quality of animation in the actual episodes is MUCH worse than the title sequence. Even my untrained eye noticed it immediately - The first episode features the threat of sexual assault of a teenage girl, played for tension/laughs. Not cool!!! - By the third episodes the series is already treading water. 30 minutes without any plot advancement. They try to distract you with a sexy 20-something grandma but it's really not enough - Admittedly this is a bit more subjective that my previous points, but: all anime is trash (except the anime i like (Perfect Blue))

Jenny Agutter posted:I dunno it’s a weird question because if you just look at your local showtimes you’ll probably see 3D showings for at least Mufasa if not Moana 2 and Wicked as well. It’s very much still a thing. Man you're right. I guess i just block out that entire category of movies from my consciousness and cannot perceive them at all

i watched very-bad 2010s film PARANOIA, starring harrison ford, amber heard, gary oldman, and one of the lesser hemsworths. Was hoping for more paranoia so... what are some very-good films that do PARANOIA well? Thx

Ok i watched The Conversation... man what a great movie! But here's what i would've done had i been gene hackman's character: i would've simply allow myself to be bugged, and lived with it, and just watched what i say and do for the rest of my life. Because what he does to that apartment... how are you going to explain that to your landlady? And it would've saved the life of his virgin mary statuette.

one flew over the cuckoo's nest is NOT what I expected. I thought it'd be 50% more drama and 50% less comedy. Instead we get a (good) version of a Robin Williams "what if a funnyman went into a serious institution and taught all the squares to loosen up and dance" movie. I really expected the main nurse character to be far, far crueler, based on what i'd heard. But she's mostly pretty reasonable?? Reminded me of Sing Street of all things, where the authority figures we're meant to hate all seem pretty ok?? Am i losing my edge??

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Yeah saying the Nurse isn't too bad is...well I don't get it. If patients piss her off in group she psychologically tortures them, and they are uniquely vulnerable to that. It's like giving titty twisters in a burn ward. You’re right, and tbf this is a case of my expectations being off. I thought I’d see someone properly sadistic and arbitrary, like the headmistress from Matilda. « The 5th most villainous villain ever » according to the American film institute. I don’t think she’s the 5th most villainous villain ever

Grendels Dad posted:Ratched stands for a system that is only about care on the surface, but is really about containment. Her subjects are there because they need help, but they merely get a treatment that keeps them from getting much worse. Unless they threaten the status quo, of course. Then Ratchet goes after them with as much glee as her position allows her. Yeah and it's a problem with the institution, meanwhile the way the nurse lives on in the popular imagination (as i've been perceiving it at least) seems to hold her solely responsible. Hence why i expected a much crueler and sadistic character

Blood Boils posted:In addition to threatening Dourif into killing himself, she has Nicholson, a guy she knows and has openly accused of not having mental illness, lobotomized I certainly didn't get the feeling that she was the one who asked him get lobotomized, although who knows (maybe readers of the book know). And she doesn't say anything about his mental illness being faked so yeah

Ok this is important. From 2024's cinema discusso general chat thread.Nazzadan posted:I've never seen Ghost, the only thing I associated with it was the making out by the pottery wheel. Now I know that this Family Guy bit is a riff on Ghost, which makes a lot of sense since Peter looks directly at the camera and says "Ghost." I don't know, I'm stupid I was hanging out with my friend and his wife on sunday and we watched some random family guy and this episode came up. CPL593H posted:Wow. This is so lazy it's like self parody. The icing on the cake is him straight up explaining the reference. Comedy via Ready Player One. The reason Peter Griffin says "Ghost" here is because in this episode he watches another Patrick Swayze movie, 1989 action flick Road House, and starts using action moves on stuff while yelling "Road House!". So you see, it makes sense why he would say "Ghost". I would like it if you all apologized.

i rewatched inland empire. I first saw it when it was in cinemas, when i was a cool teen. I remembered very little, some images. I do remember that my reaction at the time was "well THAT just happened!!" and then maybe "(david) lynch has flown too close to the sun" I completely forgot that it's filmed on old digital tech. It's been over twenty years, it's time for that look to make a comeback. And i will be its champion
