Fandom arbitrarily grabs random thing from the past as an explanation for why they like current things less beyond them being a kid and everyone being too tired to enjoy anything now. And sometimes it can be valid but a lot of the time its trying to add an objective spin on their subjective opinions

Disney HAD the rights to Court of Thorns and Roses as a possible Hulu series but they lapsed.

“Attack of the 50 ft. Eyesores” from this episode is my pick for most-underrated Treehouse of Horror short.

The world has gotten measurable worse after shows like Scooby Doo stopped revealing that the real villains are white collar criminals

I couldn’t help but ponder, while watching Little Shop of Horrors ‘86 yesterday, how you couldn’t cast that movie now. And how we’ve had remakes/reboots of Arthur, The Thing, and Poltergeist no one remembers, much less who was in them.

I’m sorry about that but you’re way too right about Pine as Judge Doom. (For those who don’t recall Wish he voiced the villain there.) And Evans did play the straight-ish guy in Red One...

Like at this point they just cast random Marvel actors or someone who has heat from a recent Oscar win (the one big addition to Zootopia 2 is…Ke Huy Qian?) in all their movies.

Or one of the other Chrises because this is a Disney film and a fantasy and they don’t know who else to cast anymore.

Donate to local food pantries if you have the means. I have never seen the lines so long.

This is a good point. They’ve slowed their production of original shows and movies for the service to a trickle, barely anything worth notice is added month to month. I do wonder where this leaves the 2 seasons we got as far as streaming goes. Disney+ mistreats underperforming catalog stuff.

But, well, I assume you’ve read that Hollywood Reporter piece about Pixar higher-ups seizing control from the director-writer after one disappointing test screening.

Apparently the emotional crux of the movie was boy and mom learning to love and appreciate each other without being what the other wanted them to be.

Man what I’ve read about the original plot, just like what happened with Wish, sounds more intriguing. Elio is accidentally abducted and just trying to get by as the mistaken ambassador, and the climactic conflict ends up being with the clone, who being “normal” is loved by the mom and other kids.

In the original version (and you can see bits of it in the first teaser trailer) he was an anti-heroic buddy to our protagonist, not an antagonist.

I first learned of it through the wonderful Moria genre reviews website, which has so many deep cuts covered. Their reviewer rather liked it!

David Byrne just wrote and performed songs for the Netflix adaptation of The Twits, nothing’s off the table anymore.

To be fair, she wasn’t dead in the original rough cut that was test screened. She was the relative Elio was struggling to relate to, and the one who was interested in communicating with aliens.

Last Saturday @dekkoparsnip2.bsky.social programmed six-plus hours of spooky musical ephemera and the selection of trailers for forgotten movies like Big Meat Eater and Shock Treatment was way more appealing than whatever I imagine was attached to Tron: Ares.

Also: outside of the CHAINSAW MAN movie you cannot convince me most of what's playing at theaters right now are actual movies.

Spent time with a loved one today watching ‘80s horror/fantasy (The Thing, Little Shop of Horrors, Poltergeist) and compared to the current offerings at my 5-screener, yep.

It's a surprisingly strong resemblance to Jim Carrey's Grinch - which makes sense given Carrey's Canadian himself.

It’s not surprising that the Andy Kaufman appearances fooled a lot of people despite being preplanned, it’s so easy to see a show like this really going off the rails.

Daily bunny no.3120 catches a late-night movie

A bunny in their bedroom has their laptop in bed, fully lit, but with all the other lights in the room turned off. They are sitting up in bed watching. A cat sleeps in a cat bed next to theirs.

Elio was virtually done in mid-2024 but one unsatisfying test screening led to new directors, a significantly different story (his parents weren’t dead in the original), a recast central performer, etc.
