Movie Ask Game.

A list of years.

1950

1960

1970

1980

1990

2000

My IMDB list coming in clutch 😂

While scrolling through my list, I noticed some years have a lot listed. So I'm going to list ones I like, then try and pick out a favorite.

1950 Cinderella ✨ (it's the only movie I have in this year so, 😂)

1960 The ones that stuck out to me for this year are The Apartment, Psycho, Inherit the Wind, and The Magnificent Seven. I think my favorite one within this year is Inherit the Wind.

1970 The Aristocats (like Cinderella, it's the only one in this year I have 😅 but I do enjoy this movie)

1980 Omg, the iconic Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. There's also The Blues Brothers, Airplane!, Superman II, and Popeye (Christopher Reeve and Robin Williams, God rest them). It's a close tie between Star Wars, The Blues Brothers, Airplane! and Popeye. Star Wars is the icon, but The Blue Brothers and Airplane! leave me on the floor in tears. And as someone who grew up watching some Popeye the Sailor episodes, I remember Popeye being enjoyable to watch, and thinking it was a good live action version.

1990 Here there is Tremors, The Hunt for Red October, Pretty Woman, Dances with Wolves, Home Alone, The Rescuers Down Under, The Prince and the Pauper, Edward Scissorhands, and Awakenings. Half of these left a mark on me as a child. The dramas were real heavy and intense on my little brain, but I knew they were really good films. Now that I'm older, they still hold up to be really good films to me. There's something about them that strikes me. However, I don't know why yet, but Home Alone makes me uncomfortable, and every year I want to watch it during the holidays, but can't bring myself to sit through certain scenes lol but it's so good because it's such a simple story. But my favorites would have to be The Prince and the Pauper and Awakenings. Although, Tremors is so funny, and enjoyable to me as well.

2000 There's so many from this year. There's An Extremely Goofy Movie, Life-Size, Erin Brockovich, The Road to El Dorado, The Flinstones in Viva Rock Vegas, Gladiator, O Brother, Where Art Thou? , Dinosaur, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon , In the Mood for Love, Gone in 60 Seconds, Titan A.E., Chicken Run, Scary Movie, X-Men, Coyote Ugly, Bring It On, Men of Honor, Remember the Titans, Meet the Parents, Pay It Forward, Charlie's Angels, Little Nicky, Rugrats in Paris, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Phantom of the Megaplex, Unbreakable, The Emperor's New Groove, Cast Away, Dude, Where's My Car? , Miss Congeniality, and Chocolat.

Life-Size, The Road to El Dorado, Gladiator, Dinosaur, Gone in 60 Seconds, Titan A.E., Bring It On, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and The Emperor's New Groove are up there and are my favorites. The rest of the movies mentioned also made an impact on me and hold a lot of precious memories with loved ones.

While I'm at it, I'll share what I remember with some of these movies. I remember being blown away by the Dinosaur trailer when our teacher popped in a VHS of a movie in the tv with an attached VHS player at the bottom of it lol then I later learned they filmed real places and input the CGI/animated dinosaurs after, and it was all mind-blowing and fascinating to me, and became one of the reasons why I grew to love film even more, and wanting to be a part of it. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was talked about a lot in school, and some classmates would try and reenact some scenes lol In the Mood for Love is a classic. And I remember seeing The Emperor's New Groove in theaters when it first released, and the theater not being crowded, and realizing in my gut, within that moment, Walt Disney Studios was on it's last great movie streak for my generation, and times were changing, and things in animation weren't going to be the same again, partly because of Pixar turning heads for Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Toy Story 2 hence not a lot of people being that interested in certain animated stories/movies. It was a bittersweet moment I had, and I'll never forget the ones who were in the theater laughing at the beginning of The Emperor's New Groove 🥲🥹

🔥 Tim Burton (him as a person or his aesthetic, your choice!)

"Beetlejuice" (1988) reminds me a lot of another film I watched recently; "Tombstone" (1993). Sold by an aesthetic and a FANTASTIC performance from a side character, audiences were conned into loving a mediocre film. I'm not Lindsey Ellis, so don't expect me to talk about the cartoon.

"Batman" (1989) and its sequel is proof that Burton will not be giving up his aesthetic for God or money. Gotham is heavily disconnected from both the film and its source material, with little reason other than its director. There's a reason no one calls these "Keaton's Batmans," they call them "Burton's Batmans." Jack Nicholson is great as The Joker, but that's no hot take. The hot take is that Devito is too horny as The Penguin, and it makes me uncomfortable for a film that's already so sexual.

"Edward Scissorhands" (1990) is a bitter, bitter film where artist finally meets muse. Not, like, in the plot, but in the production. Depp and Burton were made for eachother... or at least that's what I'm supposed to think. This movie's just too messy, however, and can't decide where its focal point lies and leaves me wishing I had just watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (2000) instead.

"Sleepy Hollow" (1999) leaves me, a fan of the original text, I know that's probably a weird thing to say, miffed, even if understanding. Outside of some pacing issues, it's a bold reimagining that feels like Burton attempting to get out of his comfort zone... but I just didn't need this story to be turned into an homage to B-horror. Go watch that Disney short, eh?

"Big Fish" (2003) is his best film. I am hardly qualified to speak on it, and even if I did, I would cry. So, you know, just go watch that shit.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (2005) is destined to be compared to "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" (1971), and why wouldn't it? In thirty-four years since the making of the original, not a single person worth listening to said "i need this done right," including Burton himself, which is why he tries to add so much, but no amount of additions changes the fact that he casted his muse instead of someone who could, you know, act like Wonka? So, you know, destined for failure and to be loved by everyone who won't watch movies made before 1987.

"Corpse Bride" (2005) is one of only two claymation films that Burton would actually direct, and he uses this time to steal a Jewish story and make it less Jewish. I don't like the ending or the songs and it feels like it could be cut in half and achieve the same effect.

"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" (2007) literally doesn't have the iconic opening number from the stage play??? Overall, there's rarely a pairing of source material and director that works as well as this one... If only I enjoyed the source material, eh? So dark, so bitter, so edgy, so... nothing. I never think about this movie. When I do, I think of Mrs. Lovett's dream sequence and remember the good old days of "Big Fish" (2003) when Burton liked to use color.

"Alice in Wonderland" (2010) is one of my guiltiest pleasures in all of film. It is the reason why every time Disney announces a live-action remake, my ears perk up. If all of them were as wild, unhinged, original, creative, and inspired as this one... Well, I think Disney might not be fucking bleeding money right now. No one ever even mentions that it's a sequel to the original animated film. A SEQUEL, not a remake. Sometime movie-goers surprise me with how little they think.

"Frankenweenie" (2012) blows. I don't care how unique it is, I do not like it.

"Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" (2016) is one of the funniest remnants of the teen dystopia genre. Like, it hardly applies, but is trying SO HARD that it's unbelievable. Also, props to Mr. "Black People Aren't My Aesthetic" for casting Samuel L. Jackson as a dude who eats white babies. (I do not mean that.) Seriously, this is proof that Burton, as a modern director, should no longer be taken seriously.

"Dumbo" (2019) is AAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHA I FUCKING HATE THIS DUDE HOLY SHIT

If I didn't mention, I haven't seen it. Yes, I know I skipped some big ones. I may watch them one day, but I am in no rush.

A small Christmas treat:

Tim Burton's original Nightmare before Christmas poem.

The animated special, How the Grinch stole Christmas (the 1966 version) was on TV tonight. It's narrated by horror icon Boris Karloff.

An interesting bit of trivia is Boris Karloff is accidentally miscredited as being the singer of "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch."

The real singer is Thurl Ravenscroft. Thurl Ravenscroft is the original voice of Tony the Tiger for Frosted Flakes commercials (Frosties in the UK). With the slogan "They're greeeeeeat!"

Thurl Ravenscroft is also the singer of Grim Grinning Ghosts from the Disney Haunted Mansion ride.

Thurl Ravenscroft was not credited for singing "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" on the end credits of the animated special by mistake. The very next day the studio put out a public apology to him in a major newspaper but the credits were never corrected.

Anyway, since How The Grinch Stole Christmas was on tonight I thought I might as well share this.

This is Tim Burton's original Nightmare before Christmas poem / short story. Tim Burton actually wrote this back in 1982 / 1983 while working for Disney as an animator and since he was working for Disney at the time they held the rights to anything he created while working for them.

The story would not be published in book form until 1993 when Tim Burton's story / poem would also be adapted into a stop motion animated musical.

When Tim Burton's original story finally was published it was also fully illustrated by Tim Burton and resembled a Dr. Seuss book.

Years later that poem and illustrations were used to create the SECOND animated adaptation of Nightmare before Christmas.

That's right. There are technically two animated versions of Nightmare before Christmas.

This animated version was a bonus feature on the 10th anniversary Nightmare before Christmas DVD and it was narrated by horror icon, Christopher Lee much like how Boris Karloff narrated How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Christopher Lee is one of Tim Burton's favorite old horror actors, who appeared in the Tim Burton movies, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, and Dark Shadows.

So here you go. An extra Christmas special, an alternate version of Nightmare before Christmas (a much simpler version) narrated by Christopher Lee.

How'll The Grinch Steal Christmas

For my Christmas drawing, I decided to draw out one of my all-time favorite Xmas stories: "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" I always watch the classic animated special made by Chuck Jones every month of December, I feel like it isn't Christmas without getting my Grinch fix.

I've noticed that the already iconic Xmas icon has received a significant amount of more attention this year. With a Walmart commercial promoting some Grinch merchandise, a video game, and even a new sequel book to the original story. I feel like these are all just ways to milk the property for their respective companies, which ironically enough goes against the whole moral of the story!

But nonetheless, it's giving the loveable rotten grump some recognition. And the one positive outcome of it all is having people(like myself) come back to the original classic story, and the Chuck Jones animated short.

Update: I have a post discussing my thoughts on the recent Grinch Walmart commercial for anyone interested: My Thoughts on the Grinch Walmart Commercial by TheJollyOrangeArtist on DeviantArt

Dr. Seuss.

[ not what the real author looked like, but if he was a character]

some facts regarding the author.

Dr. Seuss, whose real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel, was an American author, illustrator, and poet best known for his immensely popular children's books. Born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts, Dr. Seuss wrote and illustrated over 60 books during his lifetime. His imaginative stories, vibrant characters, and playful rhymes have made a lasting impact on generations of readers.

One of Dr. Seuss' most famous works is "The Cat in the Hat," which he wrote as a response to a challenge to create a compelling story using only 236 vocabulary words suitable for early readers. This led to the creation of the Beginner Books series, in which "The Cat in the Hat" became a classic.

Dr. Seuss' books often addressed important themes such as environmentalism, tolerance, and the importance of imagination. His timeless classics, including "Green Eggs and Ham," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," and "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" continue to captivate and inspire readers of all ages.

Dr. Seuss' unique artistic style and whimsical storytelling have cemented his place as an iconic figure in children's literature. His books have been translated into numerous languages and remain beloved around the world.

Dr. Seuss passed away on September 24, 1991, but his legacy continues to thrive through the enduring popularity of his books and the positive impact they have had on readers of all ages.
