There was one shot where Oraetta Mayflower really looked like she was wearing Pilgrim shoes.

As far as Circle of Life, there is no good answer to the seven year old who wants to know why it’s so great for the baby Wildebeast who just had her mom eaten by lions, and if the dead lions feed the grass, why isn’t it a good thing that Mufasa got run over?
I thought this piece did a nice job noting the goal of Tangled animators to go back to having “moments that capture a character’s essence in just one image.”
“Moana is a masterpiece start to finish, and for my money it’s in the conversation with The Lion King as the best Disney has ever done.”
Charlie Brown eating Linus and Woodstock eating another little bird that can’t fly straight is cannibalism. Woodstock eating a turkey and Charlie Brown eating Snoopy is not cannibalism.
If I have one wish for his future political activities, it would be that he goes back to his organizing roots. It seems like it’s been forever, but in 2007 he built a grassroots machine that was the key to his huge upsets in 2008.
It’s possible the farmland behind the Fargo billboard was slated to be turned into a subdivision, like what happened to the McFly homestead.
Rabbi was the only adult he trusted by that point, and I don’t think Satchel had pieced together how much Rabbi was using him at that point as a tradeable asset. I don’t think Rabbi had figured out what his plan was either, to be fair.
I think what is going on is anti-symbolism. Classic symbolism loads up a work of art with coded symbols and there is a meaning that can be unlocked if you know the key.
The bandaged man was referring to the story of Noah, specifically echoing the spiritual quoted by James Baldwin in his essay — “God gave Noah the rainbow sign, No more water, the fire next time.”
I think he gets one of these per season. It reminds me of the LA episode with the animated robot in the previous season, which I enjoyed even though it was a dry well.
Samuel Jackson was terrible in these movies but everyone knew by this point what he could do, so nobody held it against him. I think his lousy performance really made the case that it was the director, not the cast.
I think this is the result of Lucas getting sucked up into the cults of people like Joseph Campbell and Robert McKee., so there is a background for it.
Why? I could see the reasons for Casablanca having a delayed release in 1942 but I don’t see why Lucas would wait on a market with 60 million people.
That was stuff that happened because they were hung up on continuity, right?
Also, it’s not uncommon for something to be changed a lot in post shooting edits. They’ll tell actors maybe their characters will fall in love, maybe they won’t, let’s shoot it both ways and we’ll figure it out later.
Columbo would reuse the same actor as different murderers -- Patrick McGoohan played something like three or four different killers.
That is such condescending nonsense. Every rural area has the elite private school where the rich elites send their kids. The parents who send their kids to those schools are the ones who sit on the school boards and set education policy, who run the local zoning and planning commissions, and overwhelmingly go to…
I think a critical problem with Vance is that he portrays the classism as a Yale thing.
