Elemental looks like a commercial for heartburn pills.

Elio looks quite promising going by the new trailer. And Lightyear’s problem wasn’t scifi, it was that the whole concept felt forced, and contrary to the image Buzz as a character has built over the last 25 years. In Toy Story 1, where Buzz spends most of the film thinking he’s the “real” Buzz Lightyear and not a toy,…
Strange World isn’t a space movie. The characters travel to an uncharted part of the planet, which turns out to be, well, strange. It doesn’t have much in common with Lightyear except that both of them lost tons of money.
As far as I can tell, Junteenth is only really a day off for government employees and people who work at banks. That’s not a small number of people but it’s certainly not enough to really make this a “holiday weekend” in any practical sense.
The designs are just so off-putting and the entire setting seems to have been contrived just so they could have the central joke of “ha ha woman fire, man water! Gender funny!”
Their next movie is called Elio, which from the trailer looks like it has potential, at least. After that, looks like Pixar is going to be pumping out sequel after sequel for a while.
Better idea: tell the supposed grown-ups in Hollywood to make movies worth paying for.
I can’t help but think that Across the Spider-Verse kneecapped both these movies. The amazing stylistic flourishes of the Spider-Verse movies really make Pixar’s house style feel a bit too bland and safe; it seems like every other studio is branching out with different styles (look at the painted style of the upcoming…
I still remember two months ago when right wing media was furious because Across the Spider-Verse featured a trans flag in one scene, and the main character proudly sports a Black Lives Matter pin in another scene.
This dude really wrote six angry paragraphs about Reddit drama and ended it by calling other people “keyboard warriors.”
I, too, base all my opinions on what strangers from the internet think.
How much does it suck for Miles that the media thinks of him as “Spider-Man #2?”
“I’m going to take Han Solo and put him in a new situation that the original creators never thought of” is a very different proposition than “I’m going to copy someone’s story line-by-line and then pretend that counts as writing.”
Isn’t it the case that every writer has “trained their model” off of the hard work of the authors that came before them?
A kid is a human being who is capable of imagination, self-reflection, and growth. Her first fanfic might be a carbon copy of someone else’s. Her third might be something completely new. Eventually she might graduate to writing her own novels. Novels that wouldn’t exist if she hadn’t written that first fanfic you were…
Just wanna point out, Prime’s fantastic show A League of Their Own cost a fraction of what Citadel did, got higher ratings, and Amazon cancelled it anyway because their dudebro execs didn’t like how many gay characters it had. Fuck Amazon.
In the 50's and 60's the franchise seemed to hinge on the belief that the absolute worst thing that could ever happen to Superman was someone finding out his secret identity. Sometimes Lex Luthor would pop in and threaten to blow up the world but this was treated as a secondary concern.
Going by the press releases and teasers we’ve been seeing, the whole cusp of this show is that Lois and Jimmy are the main characters, and we’re seeing Superman’s adventures from their point of view (hence the title.) That’s not old ground at all; the last Superman production to even put Lois on equal footing with…
