I think of Scorsese's remarks about superhero movies, which people interpreted as "oh, I'm stupid for liking superhero movies?" when he was actually saying it's good to have a variety of films in your movie-watching diet.
I know I've grown to appreciate every genre and filmmaking style.
I wouldn't say I hate MacFarlane's work. Some of it just isn't quite my thing. But I do really like The Orville and I'm a fan of his musical skills and have long wanted to see MacFarlane direct a musical.
I disagree with the take that the satire in "Idiocracy" is an accurate reflection of our current society.
If you were to ask me which mid-2000s comedy's satire is an accurate reflection of our current society, it's probably "Team America: World Police."
I even did a video about that topic a few years ago: youtu.be/g1Y0pqnWB7w
Having seen Cuties, I can confirm it isn't at all in favour of the sexualisation of children. It just, in my opinion anyway, didn't do a good job of conveying that message as I felt the characters were one-dimensional and annoying and some scenes went overboard. Controversy still overblown.
Kamek in "The Super Mario Bros Movie"
Captain Gantu in "Lilo & Stitch"
Barney Rubble in "The Flintstones & WWE: Stone Age SmackDown!"
Same voice actor.
Exactly. And there's a way to resolve issues without taking things to extremes that just end up hurting others. Co-existence is actually a really cool thing to believe in and recognising there's always a way to be able to live side-by-side with someone on the other side of the fence.
Childish Gambino is playing Yoshi.
That is a statement I never thought I'd type.
I will never forgive the people who said "you can survive four years of Trump." There are several American citizens, immigrants to the United States and even people who have never even set foot in the US who already haven't survived his second term.
Wild swings do seem to be a major part of De Luca and Abdy's m.o. since they became heads of Warner Bros. They did give PTA by far his biggest budget and spent $100 million on "Sinners" while also letting Ryan Coogler have ownership of his movie.
Didn't quite work out for The Bride, but oh well.

My favorite fact about @mrcoat.bsky.social. lol
My review of the horror movie "undertone", a slow burn that struggles to get much fright out of a podcaster mostly sitting at a table: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CksM...
Well, at least I now know the context of the "Daddy, would you like some sausages?" scene. letterboxd.com/mrcoat/film/...

There's a part of me that wonders if the writer of that Wall Street Journal article was editorializing and taking Pete Docter's words out of context to make them seem worse than they actually were.
What were Docter's unedited remarks from when he sat down for the interview is what I'm wondering?
Maybe the scene in the movie goes into it more, but he was also literally in the green room where there were snacks laid out for guests on the table. So, what's the issue with him eating one donut in there? That's what the food is there for.
The main character's motivation throughout the entire film is protecting the forest and the animals who live there, because of her love for the environment she has had since childhood. She also has a rivalry with a corrupt politician intent on tearing down the forest to build a highway.
Disney has also shown several heterosexual couples. If a child can understand a woman and a man being attracted to each other, they can understand a man and a man or a woman and a woman being attracted to each other.
Also, there's a new system in place where categories are greyed out on the digital ballot if the voter hasn't seen all of the films.
So, if someone in the Academy hasn't seen any of the nominees or even have just one missing, they're unable to vote.
New "Mr. Coat" episode, predicting what might win at the Oscars, including "One Battle After Another" and "Sinners" duking it out in several categories and "KPop Demon Hunters" possibly winning two awards: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab4T...
I honestly don't think Pixar ever even dipped. All of their eras, from the classic years to the initial post-Disney acquisition period to their current decade under Docter's leadership, have delivered plenty of bangers, in my opinion.
I still thought the themes of Elio feeling like an outsider and then finding connection with like-minded beings who share his interests (which was what inspired Adrian Molina's original story) were very much there in the finished film and someone can still view the film through a gay lens.
I absolutely love Lightyear. I thought it was such a nifty science-fiction story with a lot of spectacular moments.
Lasseter was involved in the early development of a few of the Docter-era films, but when Docter took over in 2018, he could have decided to drop Lightyear and those other movies that were in the starting stages. But he allowed them to continue on into production, so he gave the ultimate approval.

I just want to take a moment to say how much I really dig every film being greenlit by Pete Docter over at Pixar. They've been personal and imaginative with very compelling stories and themes. What they're doing in Emeryville is appealing so much to my tastes.
This nostalgia for things that still exist, like those AI videos about going to Wal-Mart and now playgrounds, is so bizarre to me.
"I miss the days of getting a Happy Meal with a toy inside, even though McDonald's literally still sells Happy Meals with toys inside."
There was also the joke common in '80s and '90s comedies (e.g. Bachelor Party, Ace Ventura, Naked Gun 3) where a character is horrified they kissed a trans woman. And that's the whole bit, which Ace Ventura punishingly devotes the entire third act to.
Although I feel part of that is my philosophy of judging each film on their own terms rather than being like "well, why isn't Domee Shi doing what Andrew Stanton did twenty years ago?"
I'm honestly at the point now where I don't care what anybody else says. I have really dug all of the 2020s Pixar films. They have all been fun and experimental in their own specific way and they have all done things that appeal to my tastes. I love what this new generation of directors is giving us
