it's so messed up that claymation/stop-motion movies never seem to sell decent, affordable replica figurines of the characters. I'd have Gromit on my desk in a heartbeat. give the people what they want!!!!

I maintain that the reason this was the only good live-action remake (beyond the obvious truth of Kenneth Branaugh) is because it was never really even intended to recreate the animated film; it was just another faithful Cinderella adaptation, and a lavish one at that

A former Pixar staffer reveals that Disney told them to downplay “themes of environmentalism” from their upcoming movie ‘HOPPERS’
The film follows a girl who transfers her mind into a robot beaver to infiltrate their animal kingdom.

super funny thing to me about Sean Astin is that he's a professing Christian who has starred in some godawful faith-based movies but somehow he hasn't become Kevin Sorbo and he's still very woke and based. ya know, like an actual Christian
Sean Astin will be running to be elected President of SAG-AFTRA, the actor’s union.

this clip proves something to me: superspeed in recent years (post-Quicksilver) has been about going so fast that everything else stands still. in general, there’s actually more interesting action and conflict when the speedster is only as fast as a racecar. The Flash is too OP

we are so back, and Rogan's involvement is a great sign. but also: it must be said that this needs to be an actual, long-running, regular TV show. if they tell you "The Muppet Show is back" and it turns out to be a 6 episode miniseries, The Muppet Show is most certainly not back.
‘THE MUPPET SHOW’ reboot is reportedly in the works from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
Alex Timbers is attached to direct the pilot.

this was my exact thought. the absence of the Japanese perspective in the movie is part of what drives the entire point home; Hiroshima and Nagasaki only exist in these men’s distant imaginations, devoid of material reality, like faraway planets. It’s so unsettling.
OPPENHEIMER is a movie about white people doing something awful because they’re emotionally and physically removed from the people they are hurting. that’s what the movie is addressing and that’s all it has space to do within its runtime.

I realized earlier this week why the design for Toothless (and the whole movie) is exactly the same as the animated version: this entire film exists to promote the new theme park. it is quite literally a repost to keep the brand alive. which is what all live-action remakes are
First official look at Toothless in the live-action ‘HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON’ remake.

one of Gunn's best decisions by far in Superman was the casting for Ma and Pa Kent as unknown actors who felt like they were actually country farmers. it grounds the entire ethos and background of Clark Kent in a way that makes him feel so real and serves this story so well

whenever Denis Villeneuve monologues about the meaning and nature of art he's accused of being pretentious and he's 100% spitting fire every time
Denis Villeneuve says “human beings are ruled by algorithms right now" and cell phones are banned from his film sets.
“Cinema is an act of presence. When a painter paints, he has to be absolutely focused on the color he’s putting on the canvas. It’s the same with the dancer when he does a gesture. With a filmmaker, you have to do that with a crew, and everybody has to focus and be entirely in the present, listening to each other, being in relationship with each other. So cell phones are banned on my set too, since Day 1. It’s forbidden. When you say cut, you don’t want someone going to his phone to look at his Facebook account.”
