C'mon Pink, who do you trust?

 

 

I'm a bitch for @Jay Hollywood's opinions. I TRUST HIM

 

Wonder Woman is like the first movie we've ever disagreed upon.

is Frozen still really a thing? it doesn't even have a Disneyland ride.

 

I went to the Disney store in NYC in January.  At least half of the store had to be Frozen-related.

Werner Herzog rankings (of the ones I've seen):

 

You know this is high brow because I have used the tildes to mark my numbers.

 

~1~ Grizzly Man

~2~ Cave of Forgotten Dreams

~3~ Into the Inferno

~4~ Cobra Verde

~5~ Encounters at the End of the World

~6~ Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World

~7~ Penguins of Madagascar

 

It gets less high brow now because those are the only ones I've seen.

 

 

Had to adjust ratings because I forgot that the Herzgod was in that Penguins of Madagascar movie.

Rango is the best animation of the 2010s. Its not even close

 

I just saw that Melodrama has an 89 score at Metacritic, with 3 reviews scoring it at 100. I'm speechless. 

[JohnnyGossamer]

Oh, Rango....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

....everything else.

Caps 1 and Vol. 2 really pop. Phase 3 has made an effort to really up the overall design/asthetic. Panther and Ragnarok seem to moving very much in the right direction.

 

Vol. 2 is the closest thing to Batman Returns. Definitely the most heart and weird in any MCU flick to date.

 

All CBM nowadays are formulaic as fuck. Gotta check out Legion for something a lot different. It's all about presentation. Wonder Woman is formula done right. That's why it's beloved.

 

Wonder Woman had a lot of heart and depth in it, actually, despite there being a number of prevelant flaws.  

 

It really captured the spirit of the genre and was fairly endearing.

 

It's a fine line though when it comes to formulas in film.  If you think from a musical standpoint, J.S. Bach's music is very formulaic and mathematical, but it's also absolutely brilliant.  But then you can think about modern music, and how every song on the top 40 is just a different rendition of a previous top 40 song, and you can see how these formulas can also steal the soul out of art.

Worst animated movie of the decade is Ice Age 5.

Rango is A brilliant depiction of self worth. Much more subtle about it than Inside Out 

 

“Who am I? I'm nobody" destroys me. Absolutely destroys me

i love rango for the gore craziness but it is none subtle at all. that theme you're talking about is given whole scenes to be speechified. even the 400 movie riffs in rango are about as subtle as the riffs in disaster movie.
