Re: Strange World

The first two parts of that sentence is why Mortal Engines bombed. No, the first two parts of "Stop putting Peter Jackson's name on movies he didn't direct, and don't expect that the worst weekend in December is going to singlehandedly save poor audience recognition and unhelpful marketing, even if...

Re: The state and future of animation

Assembled shorts, eg. "Adv. of Ichabod & Mr. Toad", "Saludos Amigos", "Fun & Fancy Free". Try one sometime.

Re: The Muppets

Yes,I went down a Siskel/Ebert rabbit hole last night and saw a fair few of these! I found a YouTube channel that has twenty years of Siskel & Ebert, and I've been down the rabbit hole for two weeks now. :oops: I remember their show airing back in 1978, but once we moved out of the old hometown wit...

Re: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: Diamond Edition

Since it's not a "Signature" Edition, and came out of sequence, I'm thinking this was supposed to come out to "synergize" marketing with the live action Snow White In Name Only, which was supposed to open in Spring Break Fangirl-Kissup March '24, but has now been (heheh) "delayed" by strikes. And as...

Re: The Muppets

Don't remember that one-- :? Only deleted scene I remember from the theater showing was the COMPLETE recap of the first half of the film, when Kermit lets Dr. Teeth read the script to catch up. Of course, no muppet babies "always love you" music video that aired on mtv to promote the film as an extr...

\By Parasite, are you talking about the Bong Joon-Ho film?
Yes. The 1982 Charles Band horror film already came out on Blu3D back in 2019.

Okay, how was Orson's scene longer in the UK version? Did he have TWO lines?

Re: Disney's Post-Revival Era

And Encanto's not too bad yet, which means the stumble is going to be further down the road. A full year before Strange World. My psychic powers amaze even me. :shock: (Although I've heard an unsubstantiated fan theory wondering whether Strange World may have originally been a half-baked project fo...

Re: Disney Renaissance 2/Disney Revival

That’s for sure. I was recently at my local bookstore chain and found a “100 Years of Disney” history companion in the film section. Michael Eisner rated exactly one paragraph (JK got nothing). And in the end, Eisner's place in history can blame...Shrek 2. (Or rather, do we blame the film itself, E...

Yes it is. Let's move on, and leave Geoffrey to Google how movies are selected by the LoC.

Re: Inside Out

"Oh, look, 'Pu-berty', wonder what that button does?" We audiences were ahead of this sequel for eight years--Like Ralph Breaks the Internet, it was DESTINED to happen. (As for Incredibles 2 saying "Well, you wanted them to go up against the Underminer!", that would be more of a bad audience-demand ...

Re: Disney Pixar's Elemental

I think they’re mostly just your reactions, Eric. Oh, sweet, naive, Ben…. :P You don’t REALLY want me to dig up a dozen or so pre-release YouTube comedy variations on the theme of “Oh, look, grown-up Andy’s going to take his toy cowboy doll with him to college, bet that’ll make him popular with the...
