Inside Out was okay but has too many weird questions for me to like it. Zootopia is delightful but also hilarious when you think about it. There's a tiny town of tiny animals, how the hell do the police work with that? One rabbit as a cop becomes an all seeing eye of super government oversight because they can literally see the entire town standing in one spot and just crush anyone who dares oppose them.
What does the rodent mafia do when they need to knock over some establishment run by elephants? What weapons do they even take to that fight?
You mean the rodent mafia that had a bunch of gigantic polar bear enforcers?
Visually, sure. I always enjoy watching but I never come back to them.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Firefly was okay and everyone just needs to let it go and move on.
Firefly's lesson: Don't bother going to the stars it'll all just be filled with rednecks anyway
Somebody in the March for Science Facebook group made and posted a sign with a picture of Serenity and the quote, "I was on the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."
I was like... yeah... that's not a good message for American politics.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

They hire some elephants to beat up those elephants.
Iron Man 3 is the second or third worst Marvel film.
yo, it is easily the worst marvel film. the plot is a mess, it came right after the avengers but it was not the avengers, and is like afraid to reference the avengers in all but the most oblique ways. it handling of ptsd is stupid.
Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.
And also I have watched the OT, right before Force Awakens and that shit still holds up. It's amazing.
To compare, go watch Star Crash or whatever on the new MST3k
Holy shit that's a bad movie. That guy has magic powers! And that woman loses more clothing in each scene! And there's a robot..with a southern accent!
Also new MST3k is really good.

rogue one is a rote series of events that banks almost entirely on structure and imagery with no characterization and paper thin plot
the prequels are disasters, but at least they fuckin' tried
rogue one farted out the laziest bullshit and slathered it in enough nostalgia to choke patton oswalt and kevin smith if they were mouth-to-mouthing a double-ender
i don't hate rogue one
but "i felt cold and emotionless" accurately describes what watching it made me feel
hahahaha okay Pony, whatever you say. I guess George Lucas sitting in an armchair all day when filming and being very literal & trite and using the laziest of camera shots was him being a genius.
I have no allies here. Some of you don't like zootopia and some of you don't like iron man 3 and you're not always the same people.
but allies can have differences...
ludious, it takes all kinds
You don't like the original Star Wars trilogy. What did you think I forgot you agent provocateur
nobody likes the OT. they just pretend to like it because of nerd pressure or because they can't bear to let go of what they liked as children, wrapped in their own nostalgia like a kitten in yarn
in fact i believe nobody has even watched the OT in over ten years, they've just pretended to
back when we started dating porp made me watch the OT cuz id never seen it
I remember finding the story interesting but thinking a lot of the acting and dialogue being p cringey bad
I haven't gone back and re-watched it since, but that's true of just about every movie that isn't Houseguest or Uncle Buck or one of porp's rom-coms she loves (Enchanted, literally any Sandra Bullock Movie, Bridget Jones)
:whistle:
That's how you knooooooow.... he loves you...

Jesus y'all are going full on m'lady about Star Wars up in here why not take a minute and blow some vape clouds before you get nasty.
The MCU movies are sameish sure. But compare it to the Fantastic 4 and DC offerings and you can see how good we have it. Even the worst Marvel movie is watchable. Suicide Squad on the other hand..

broseph if you can't handle us talkin bullshit in chat without being like this
If you strike the prequel trilogy from the record, I could entertain a conversation about Rogue One being worse of a Star Wars than the OT. Otherwise I cant even
Rogue One lacking characterization is a complaint I have heard and completely don't understand. And the plot seemed entirely solid and actually explained away a long standing nerd dumb thing
Why does the death star have a stupidly exploitable weakness? Because the designer put it there on purpose!
and it's amazing and ahhhhhhhhhhhh I can't take the hot takes anymore

"afraid to reference the Avengers" in the same sentence as critiquing its handling of PTSD where Stark is literally having flashbacks to the events of The Avengers is a creative criticism

Visually, sure. I always enjoy watching but I never come back to them.
i disagree. Toy Story, Toy Story 3, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc and Up are all great movies
Those are all the ones I went back to watch a second time.
And my reaction about partway through was always "why am I watching this?"

I dunno, I really wasn't expecting the ending
either everyone to die or the film to literally run into the beginning of episode 4
I won't really give the prequels much credit for trying either because I feel like Lucas wasn't really trying, I don't get any passion or caring from those train wrecks like I do for something like Jupiter Ascending - where I feel the Wachowskis legitimately were trying to do something interesting even if it was a complete mess
but I can see why you wouldn't like Rogue One, even if it does work for me
Rogue One was pretty bad. I liked the robot. I felt nothing about the rest of the film, which was rushed and earned none of the pathos it tried to exploit in its ending. I almost agree with Ludious but the prequel trilogy is pretty hilariously bad

My internal narration was like " - wait I'd buy that"
And then they went there
Yup
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.
there are marvel properties that are afraid to reference each other
basically all of the Netflix shows are like this, with Jessica Jones derpily referring to the Avengers by weird names that you would hear in a Pepsi commercial about "the other guys"

Pixar movies are good
But imo they're never great

The best.
If they gave it the Star Wars aesthetics, even better.
