In the ancient South Pacific world of Oceania, Moana, a born navigator, sets sail in search of a fabled island. During her incredible journey, she teams up with her hero, the legendary demi-god Maui, to traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds and ancient folklore.

this is also fantastic as an overall effort to promote counter narratives about the Pacific Island cultures and histories, as there was a long held (racist) belief that they populated such vast areas of ocean simply by accident like getting shipwrecked or swept away in storms, when in reality they were expert navigators and explorers who deserve to be celebrated as pioneers

I dunno if this movie is old news around here or what, but I just got back from It Follows and oh my glob it was just the best. I get why critics were going crazy for it and was pleasantly surprised at how unpretentious the whole thing was
I need more stuff like this and The Babadook in my life
Also of importance, you can hamper yourself with an effective but boring play style in games. Greater authorial control just guides the attention better. That said there's a certain joy of gaming that movies can't touch. That's usually brought about by game mechanics rather than story telling. So far a computer game hasn't told me a great story.
No computer game you have ever played has told you a great story?
For me, gameplay makes the story redundant. I don't care, give me the gun and stop making mouth noises. Mood and tension are things games do very well though. Like, I like Silent Hill 2 and Thief 2 a lot. What are the stories they told? I don't know. I enjoy games with a great setting I can explore a bunch though. Things like Skyrim and the great Unreal World.
Now just imagine a young, impressionable Penguin Incarnate in senior year of high school listening to the director's commentary, not knowing who the fuck Werner Herzog is.
So I saw What We Do in the Shadows and to be honest it was kinda disappointing. It would have been much improved if it had a plot. And the camera crew were characters but they were very rarely treated like characters.
Still, it's fun.

And it's so quick that you don't even have enough time to go "wait was that--" before they're back to beating the shit out of each other

If y'all haven't seen Aguirre: The Wrath of God, you should fix that and watch Aguirre: The Wrath of God.
I think they drink coronas in that from memory.
Satans..... hints.....
Still, it's fun.
You can have any beer you want... As long as it's Corona.
So Mike's Hard is an option?
Yesssssss
I drank a lot of mikes hard and smirnoffs when I was young
Boy those taste like shit now
Well if you've had them this long, I imagine they would.
The wordplay and also the haha chincy is old part
More so than Top Gun?
Turn in your fan-club membership card
Oh yes absolutely
herzog is a beautiful lunatic
top gun is not subtext
that shit is overt
Which is weird, because when I think actor, I definitely don't think of a half dozen gay stereotypes.
Also, who doesn't look at Mac and immediately think, "This guy's loves penis"?
