Hey!! This is for the film ask ,animation addition!! Because I love cartoons and these films, I feel are a bit underrated so I’m wondering if you seen them and what your thoughts were
Coraline
Hotel Transylvania
Monster House
Wendell & Wild
Monsters inc
9
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Robots
Sry this is a lot 😭 but I absolutely love hearing your thoughts on movies
Hey! Don't apologise, anon, I love getting asked about movies, haha, so thank you, and thank you for your lovely words! 😊
Coraline
never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece
Definitely an iconic work in both stop motion and in children's horror. I've been thinking quite a lot recently about how so many fairytales and folklore stories that were historically aimed at children shared tropes and tones with horror. That link is explored amazingly well in the documentary Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched, which I highly recommend, but I do love that there are these genre staples still in children's storytelling that brings that back to the fore. Coraline (along with a few of the other movies you've asked about) is definitely one of them, and I think is one of the ones that does it the best. Just a really great film.
Hotel Transylvania
never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece
I haven't seen this one, but I grew up with a lot of the director's other work (particularly The Powerpuff GIrls and Samurai Jack), so it's been on my list for a while. Now that my nephews are in the target demographic for it too, I should definitely try and watch it with them!
Monster House
never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece
I've heard a lot of good things about this one, but for some reason, I've just never gotten around to it.
Wendell & Wild
never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece
You've picked so many movies I've never seen, anon! That's truly a feat these days, haha. I've been really keen to see this one since it came out though. It's such a good cast, and Henry Selick is a giant among men when it comes to animation directors. Coraline and Nightmare Before Christmas are obviously iconic, but I'm very partial to James and the Giant Peach too!
Monsters Inc
never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece
Easily one of Pixar's best. A lot of this works due to the worldbuilding and voicework chemistry between John Goodman and Billy Crystal, but the script is really strong too and that sequence with the doors is so original and innovative.
9
never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece
Oh man, I remember seeing this when it came out, but I don't think I remember much about it beyond having watched it, so I don't really want to rate it, haha. Mmm, I'm pretty sure I liked it? Might be one to rewatch though.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece
I'm going to say never seen, because I haven't watched it in full, but I worked in a kids clothing store for three years when I was at university, and we had a little nook in the back of the store where kids could sit and watch movies. Head office would get us one (1) new movie a year, and this was the third one we got, so there are certain scenes I could probably recite, despite having never watched it, haha.
Robots
never seen | want to see | the worst | bad | whatever | not my thing | good | great | favorite | masterpiece
Imperfect, but underrated! It's a shame that Blue Sky Studios went so downhill so fast, because their first few releases - particularly Ice Age, Robots and Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! - all suggested real promise and an interesting change in tone / pace compared to other animation houses at the time. Alas - they were reduced too quickly to sequels even before Disney shuttered them.

thungo thursday double feature??
hey gang i missed last week's ep because i was lazy. i'm posting them both one right after the other since they were too long as one combined post lol
ep 5
i wonder if the decay like. knows poe exists or that his ability is like allowing the entire agency to hide anywhere they want. like his ability is very similar to lucy's. maybe he'll trap fukuchi in a novel and kill him (imagine the one to defeat fukuchi being fucking POE i'd cry tears of euphoria)
wait we didnt get the part where tanizaki and kenji crawled out from under the table?? we were SCAMMED
i love that tanizaki and atsushi are visibly sweating and nervous while listening to ranpo while kyouka and kenji are just like •_•
'the armies can't tell who is and isnt a vampire' HAVE THEY TRIED IDK LOOKING AT THEM THOSE VAMPIRES ARE UGLY AS SHIT I FEEL LIKE I WOULD NOTICE IF ONE OF MY COWORKERS BECAME SUPER UGLY OUT OF NOWHERE
yeah actually tanizaki + ranpo have a point why DIDNT they destroy one order. like why didnt they just. chuck a shot put ball at it and be done with it lmao it really could have been that easy
ranpo getting the pretty treatment this ep (he's already a pretty boy the anime has just decided to fully embrace his beauty now so he's transcended to an ethereal being of pretty)
cannot believe a group of people aged like 10 - 26 (excluding fukuzawa) are the ones who have to save the world. im sure the boomers in their universe will still find a way to complain about them and thats the saddest part of all
AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA AYA
virgin page: literally alters reality so that nobody believes in the agency's innocence
chad aya: *unaffected*
not jouno just fucking knocking aya to the ground T-T
i love her. jouno is literally being like 'i will brutally murder you and everyone you care for' and this ten year old girl is like 'fuck you + L + ratio + skill issue + nobody asked'
w tecchou what would jouno do without you bby
LMAO BRAM'S FACE ◓-◓ also why is jouno reacting surprised?? how did you hear him bro. did you hear the flutter of his babygirl eyelashes or some shit. i KNOW bram is physically heartless he can't rely on a heartbeat this time around
fukichi: will u be angel
jouno: BUT do i get to bdsm
fukuchi: ye
jouno: SIGN ME UP
wait the vampires can talk???? akutagawa just said 'space time continue um' or whatever the fuck but i thought he was supposed to be like a mindless drone even if he is doing what bram wants i didnt think they could talk???? whatt
stop why is vamp akutagawa so fucking ugly i hate this reality
jouno be like 'ok so this physically unkillable man is gonna take over the world. shit what do i do. uhh ok let's entrust the fate of the world to this ten year old girl i just found'
NOT THAT SHOT OF FUKUCHI TURNING AFTER THE FLASH LMAOOAOAOAOAOAOAOA THATS ALMOST AS BAD AS THAT ONE JOUNO TURTLE SMILE (you guys know the one)
yooo there IS an ending this season. i miss sunny and peaceful yokohama T-T season one feels
oh boy what an adventure!! what will dia see next?? wouldn't it be so silly if she read one subtitle and spent the next ten minutes laughing so hard she almost threw up?? that would be CRAZY haha it definitely didnt happen. or did it?? stick around for ep 6 of thungo thursdays

Ok story about my day cause it's the funniest thing that's happened to me in a while
So I went to class in a 'Halloween' outfit, cause my prof promised extra credit for whoever did
It wasn't actually my Halloween costume since I don't exactly have one this year, but I can definitely throw something together for extra credit right, so I went with my default renaissance outfit which was an elf
Class was fine, not a lot of ppl dressed up obv, but after I went to this restaurant at like 2 for lunch, wasn't very busy but I was still in full costume cause why not
I'm sitting for like 5 minutes before these two guys come out of the back right up to me, and both are wearing elf ears
They straight up went "We have those too! Welcome to the resistance!!"
It all happened so fast and was genuinely the most out of pocket thing that could have happened at a Cactus Flower at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I was on that high for like 15 minutes and I caught the staff taking glances at me the rest of the time
So ig I'm part of some weird elven resistance now at my local Mexican restaurant
