Still in awe of how well the D&D movie mimicked the feeling of D&D without doing anything as tediously literal as a "sitting around the table" framing device. The way some characters have names that sound like names a DM improvised on the spot, the sudden appearance and disappearance of a overpowered DM NPC for a single dungeon, the way they used the fact that characters can plausibly just mess up for no clear reason to escalate action scenes...that was cinema
I like to think of Across the Spiderverse as a massive fuck you to Hollywood bigwigs that keep treating animation like it’s an inferior form of storytelling only for children as they churn out live action remakes of animated features less than 5 years old because that’s the only legitimate form of cinema.
This movie proves that animation is a legitimate art form and no less powerful than live action.
THE STAR WARS PREQUEL TRILOGY on VHS [in/sp]
All three prequel trilogy films were officially released on VHS in April 2000, November 2002 and October 2005 respectively. They were the last Star Wars films to be released on the format.
Honour among thieves is good in ways that drive me a bit insane thinking about the state of modern fantasy in film/television.
Like, the scenes in the underdark were visible?!?! You know that in GoT or whatever other production that shit would be impossible to see because it's the underdark or whatever. But like no!?! The place was conveyed to be underground and fucked up and I could hear everything?!!
Also, Edgin expresses complicated feelings like sadness and self loathing and he's not belittles for it! The party sits on the rock with him and then he introspects and is framed as a positive male character who's not the most physically capable in a fight!
Holga's divorce, Simon's arc, these things drive me fucking insane because there's a lot of angsty shit in this film but it's not a sad film! There is love and joy and happiness in this shitty found family who bicker and support each other. I just, need shit like this, I need Avengers Tower Fics of the party because I genuinely believe they care about each other and that feels like almost a rarity
last episode of limlife would be a terrific buddy comedy bc imagine: two men have their friend go into a coma for 24hours. they are not allowed to take him to a hospital. alright cool, we’ll put him on the couch and chill for a day.
then: multiple groups of people all decide independently to try and steal the body
