I think stuff like Cars and The Good Dinosaur were more outliers than indicative of Pixar’s batting average being so back and forth. It’s generally been consistent until maybe, Finding Dory. So that’s pre-pandemic, when we were still getting The Incredibles 2, and Toy Story 4, which despite all the favorable critic/au…

I don’t know about anyone else, but this was one of the few movies this summer I very much anticipated. There are sequels no one asked for, and there are sequels where I kinda did, and I loved the idea of a hypothetical Inside Out followup, with new emotions for Riley as she gets older. It’s a concept that can grow…

I don’t know that the narrative has been “Pixar is terrible” so much as it’s been Pixar has certainly lost something... Which is not unfair to point out. 

I first saw him on Chuck, and though slightly short for the role, he’d always been my fast-cast for Superman the moment I laid eyes on him. Oh well. At least he got to voice the character in for DC’s animated movie Superman Unbound.

Haha, yes! :)

Of course, my knee-jerk reaction is “Please, no!” But then I can’t help but be curious if a live-action Brave would work better for me than the original did. That a live-action Toy Story would admittedly look, well, real... Taking the concept to its natural conclusion. Or be reminded that a Live-Action Incredibles…

Lol oh yea! Poor guy

It’s the charisma 100%. I can’t tell you how much joy I got out of any time Logan Roy humbled his arrogant kids. He’s the biggest bastard on the show, but he’s electric to watch. Or any time someone would outsmart the other with a clever play. Intelligence also goes a long way in appealing to audiences. Protagonists c…

I remember the water funeral for Cat Stark’s uncle or something, and I guess it was her brother who kept missing the flaming arrow shot? It was embarrassing, and funny, and just one of those moments that lightened the mood.

“Oops! All Tywin Lannisters!” Haha, I like that.

Ah, but Succession was able to do it because they also had that all-important levity to balance it out. If you can’t have someone to root for, have something to laugh at. HotD is humorless

He didn’t pull the trigger essentially means his defense is “The gun shot itself.”

The first game was particularly brutal. In a way, it was a callback to the varied kills Lara could face in the original games (impaled by spikes, squished by boulders, etc), and I liked that it re-emphasized the peril. Especially with graphical fidelity now, there can be an art to Game Over death animations, and Tomb…

Only if it features the new cybertruck. Preferably voiced by like Paul Rudd or something

“hurt”

But DID Anxiety go away as an adult? Could have just got kicked out of the control center. Lurking away in the back somewhere

I’d want a Bugs Life sequel just for the advancements in visual fidelity alone. Imagine photo-realistic insects!

Completely agreed. I think the next time we saw Disney pull themselves out of a funk was with Frozen. And that was a movie that sort of flipped the script on certain traditions, so they may have learned the wrong lessons from that, considering they’ve been looking at how to be subversive with their movies ever since.…

Firebrand has a lot of directors

Ha, same!
