they should invent a bus that never gets stuck in traffic because it's on its own path separated from the roads. and then chain multiple of them together and put it on rails. has anyone had this idea before.

i'm thinking of Lilo and Stitch since I rewatched the original recently and tho I won't see the live action I think one thing that the creators of the new one fail to realize is how much grief also plays into a lot of the conflict of the story.

Lilo isn't TRYING to cause problems for nani. she isn't purposefully trying to make things hard for her sister. She is a little child who lost two major people who understood her and accepted her. When she and nani get into that fight after their meeting with Bubbles and nani says do you WANT to be taken away u can see the fear and pain in lilo's eyes. She's terrified of losing her sister. In the aftermath she literally asks Nani, we're a broken family, aren't we?

like these are two young girls who are trying to navigate the waters of their feelings surrounding their recent parents deaths and the threat that they may BOTH lose the only family they have left and the new movie just...... failed to take that into account at all

Just saw a video analysis about if the Scooby gang could beat Light Yagami. I wasn’t worried about the gang but I didn’t realize how cooked Light was. Velma alone is way smarter than L, Freddy would instantly see through the trapped drawer that hid the Death Note and Scooby is such a wildcard overall, who is immune to the Death Note because he isn’t human. So even if he gets the rest of the gang, Scooby is coming with a vengeance.

Funniest scenario is Shaggy and Scooby trailing Light only to be confronted by him. Light tries to kill Shaggy but can’t because he would never just give away his name as “Norville Rogers.” Light thinks Shaggy is some genius playing fourth-dimensional chess with him.

i think the key difference between george lucas’s star wars and disney’s star wars is that lucas is a man with an ideology. someone with a point of view, and all that entails. which comes with ideas of revolution, anti-imperialism, challenging the status quo, cultural appropriation and racist stereotypes. complex and contradictory ideas because that’s how artists are: complex and complicated people. disney is not. disney is a corporation. a corporation can’t have ideology, because ideology defeats the purpose of profit. and when the only thing you do is to turn on the movie manufacturing machine before you sit down and plan what ideas are you trying to convey to the audience, then your results are going to be washed out corporate garbage. and because when you’re a giant corporation who only cares about selling to the widest audience possible, you can’t take sides. you can’t decide on an idea. because you want to sell your product to people who are on the entire political spectrum. which results in movies without ideology, without purpose, without soul.
