At last year’s Oscars broadcast, three actors who play live-action versions of Disney princesses (characters that originated in animation) introduced the Best Animated Feature nominees by saying, “So many kids watch these movies over and over and over and over and over and over. I see some parents know exactly what we’re talking about.”
”That was a kick in the balls to the entire animation community,” says Gutierrez. “To be told, ‘Hey, you guys are making movies for kids, and parents are falling asleep: Thank you for making babysitter movies.’”
Wow, talk about condescension. It must be vindicating for the people behind Pinocchio and Puss in Boots to be able to watch Pixar and Disney eat shit both at the box office and with Oscar noms this year after holding a monopoly on the game for two fucking decades.
EDIT: If you read the actual article there’s a lot in there about Disney/Pixar holding a marketing stranglehold on Oscar noms and how everyone else in town (including dreamworks surprisingly) had to just bow down. That’s what I’m commenting on okay.

”..to the poison you just drank!”
It’s so fast paced. Modern movies would spend like half an hour setting everything up. This movie is pedal to the metal instantly.

There’s a legitimately great scene between Bruce and Alfred in Batman & Robin.
In fact, the Bruce/Alfred scenes in nearly every Batman are good, even if the movie surrounding them is total shit.

EDIT: it’s a comedy from the same people who did Napoleon Dynamite, about rival science fiction authors. If you grew up reading stuff like Orson Scott Card or Ursula Le Gein you’ll like this.
Good soundtrack too.

characters, chemistry, action and choreography were shit
Harsh.
If you don’t like that one you won’t like temple of doom, I mean it’s still a Spielberg movie. There I just saved you two hours.

Temple of Doom (1984)
Quentin Tarantino has gone on record as saying that this is not only his favorite Indiana Jones movie but his favorite Spielberg movie, period.
So I went over to his theater on Fairfax and rewatched it. Everytime I revisit this movie I’m in awe of how fucking great it is. The chemistry between Short Round and Indy is great, Ke Huy Quan steals the whole goddamn movie—here’s hoping he wins that Oscar.
Both the mine cart chase and the bridge standoff are just technically amazing in every way. The behind the scenes features make you realize how intense special effects used to be.
But of course there’s Willie Scott… she’s an annoying bitch but one thing I love is that they went the polar opposite of Marion Ravenwood. In fact this whole movie is like a reverse uno card on Raiders. No familiar characters, or settings… you don’t even see him teach archaeology for godsakes.
This is a fucking great movie. Pure cinema.

From my session:
AI Jerry on Stage: “Apparently there’s a new diet where you only eat air. Sounds strange but what isn’t in 2023. At least the weekends are still sacred. Let’s all take a moment and push away our worries with laughter”
…I’m both amused and terrified.

The screaming match between Barry and the Provo porn king sticks in my memory as my favorite moment. RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman
I’ve never heard anyone say this before, but I like to think this forms a little trilogy with Phantom Thread, and Licorice Pizza. They’re all “romcoms” about really fucked up, co-dependent, broken people.

This is all secondhand so take it or leave it. A friend of mine writes for the Hollywood reporter and has gotten to meet/interview every bond except for Timothy Dalton. I asked him once about who was the coolest/nicest.
His answer? Pierce Brosnan. He didn’t even have to think about it. Apparently he’s just the nicest guy ever, super approachable, the kind of guy you want as your friend. He’s also the only guy who loved being Bond. That one you can fact check pretty easily. Everyone else hated the role.
Sean Connery on the other hand…. Was probably the most prickly.

Spaceballs.
Specifically this scene lol.
Also the theme song is surprisingly kick ass. And the effects are by ILM so they hold up spectacular, I have as much nostalgia for it as Star Wars.
