#this movie is a weird disturbing film so beware

[goryhorroor]

begotten (1989) directed by e. elias merhige

[thehollowprince]

I got say as someone familar with Professor X from X-Men Evolution and the Films, it pretty damn disturbing seeing the type assholery and outright villainous behavior from Comic! Charles Xavier.

Yeah...

As a comic fan, it's always so interesting to talk to people who've only watche the movies or shows, because when you try to tell them that "Charles Xavier is a jerk!", they look at you weird.

I get it (to an extent). When these people hear Charles Xavier, they picture Patrick Stewart, and it's impossible to dislike that man, but as a comic fan, it's disheartening when people who have never read the comics tell you that they understand a character better than you do.

Understand, I'm not talking about you, that's more of a general statement. Especially with the MCU on the rise and fans saying things like "Well, in the movies...", only for them to pretend they can't understand you the moment you point out what happened in the comics... that the movies are supposed to be based on.

I know you didn'task for this, but just for shits and giggles, here's a list of reasons why Charles Xavier is a Jerk.

1. The X-Men

Let's start with the obvious.

Dude took the children that were in his care, that either went to him or were entrusted to him, to help them with their mutant gits, and instead he trained them to be child soldiers. I know there are plenty of other things to criticize him for, but this one is often overlooked.

2. Memories

Charlie boy has a nasty habit of screwing with the memories of those around him if they disagree with him... or they find out one of his secrets... or he screws up... or just because he feels like it.

Scott has been the victim of Xavier's rewrites multiple times, the biggest example of which being when he erased Scott's memories of not only the entire X-Men team that was either killed or lost during their attempted rescue of the original X-Men on the first Krakoa, but he erased the memory of Scott having another brother, who was on said team.

Said younger brother (Gabriel) went on to become the dictator of the Shi'ar Empire. Now, I'm not saying that him erasing Gabriel from Scott's mind directly led to that outcome, but I'm also not saying that either. Whose to say what would have happened if Scott had managed to be there for his brother.

He's also done this extensively with Logan, even going so far as to "persuade" him to join the X-Men when he was originally there to kill the professor.

3. Jean Grey

Oh, boy.

Did y'all know that Chuck was in love with Jean while she was a teenager and he was in (at the very least) his forties? Yeah. And that's not even getting into the fact that he trained her as a child, which means he knew her since she was ten.

And speaking of Jean as a child, when he first met her, he sensed her power and added mental blocks to keep her "contained". Putting aside the whole invasion of a child's mind for a second, I would like to point out how these blocks directly led to Jean's Dark Phoenix phase. Y'know, the time she destroyed entire star systems.

4. Danger

We all remember the Danger Room, right?

That room with the holographic simulations that the X-Men used in their training to become child soldiers?

Did you know the Danger Room was sentient?

No?

Charles knew.

He knew and kept it a secret, until he couldn't anymore, because Danger broke free of his controls and set about trying to get rid of the X-Men.

Probably another reason he is so against A.I. on Krakoa.

Speaking of which...

5. Krakoa

If you're not following the current era of the X-Men, beware, because here there be SPOILERS.

So, mutandom finally has their own Island Country (again) and there are some rules for that island.

Make More Mutants

Kill No Man

Respect the Sacred Land

Those three vaguely-worded and broad statements dictate life on Krakoa, and if you break them, you get sentenced to the pit, where you can't move or do anything, but you're conscious and aware of the world going on around you.

One of the first things Chuck did was say "there will be no prisons on Krakoa" and the very first thing he does, is sentence Sabertooth to mutant prison for breaking laws that weren't even written yet. And not just Sabertooth, but others as well.

If you're not reading Victor LaValle's SABERTOOTH, I do highly recommend it. In the latest issue, we get specifics on how/why five other mutants were sentenced to the pit.

Madison Jeffries is a technopath who was trying to create a space on Krakoa foe Danger, the sentient A.I. I mentioned above, because he was in love with her (don't look at me like that. This is Marvel and that isn't even remotely the weirdest relationship). He was accused of violating Krakoa and sent to rot in the Pit.

Melter was also sentenced to the Pit for not "respecting" Krakoa, because he wanted to take a more active role in his new country. He's one of those who believe in Xavier absolutely and wanted to help, only to be cast into Mutant hell.

Nekra and Oya were both sentenced for breaking the second law, killing pirates that were attacking Krakoa. They were protecting their home, but because it didn't have Xavier's stamp of approval, or because they weren't X-Force, they were cast aside.

Third Eye was sentenced to mutant jail for making the mutants of Krakoa feel guilty. I kid you not. He "violated" the first law by telling the mutants of Krakoa that maybe having kids (per the first law) and then just tossing them aside afterwards might not be the best thing for either the children or their image as a country. As such, he was convicted by the council and thrown into the Pit.

Yes, these weren't just Charles alone, but seeing as how he is often presented as the head of the council, it's only fair to lay these at his feet.

And his hypocrisy on the island doesn't stop there.

In the most recent issue of IMMORTAL X-MEN he tried to get Mystique kicked off the Quiet Council because she went behind the Council's back to resurrect her wife (something promised to her by Xavier and Magneto, even though they had no intention of delivering on that promise), at a meeting where his secret dealings with Moira MacTaggert to create Krakoa and all his fuck-ups were being presented to Hope, the newest member of the QC.

His hypocrisy knows no bounds.

And this isn't even a complete list. This is just the stuff that I thought of off the top of my head.

So always remember

Favorite film discoveries of 2021

After 2021, I just feel tired. However, I did watch some great movies!

THE TRAIN (DIR. JOHN FRANKENHEIMER, 1964)

What is more important: centuries of priceless artwork or the lives of human beings? That’s the thematic question of The Train, an underrated WWII thriller in which French Resistance members are tasked with retrieving stolen art from the Nazis without damaging any of it, even if that means being killed in the process. The moral dilemma at the heart of the film is compelling in and of itself, but the movie also works as a suspenseful drama bolstered by great acting and stunning black-and-white photography.

ISN’T LIFE WONDERFUL (DIR. DW GRIFFITH, 1924)

DW Griffith’s 1920s work tends to leave me cold, so I was stunned by how much I loved Isn’t Life Wonderful. A realistic and touching movie set in post-WWI Germany, this film was unpopular during its initial release due to its drab setting and bittersweet conclusion, but it holds up well now. It’s much less melodramatic than you would expect from Griffith and the oft-reviled Carol Dempster gives a stellar lead performance as a young woman trying to keep her family fed despite dire conditions.

THE INNOCENTS (DIR. ANNE FONTAINE, 2016)

Centered around the trials of a French Red Cross doctor and the impregnated Polish nuns who come to her for help in the wake of wartime rape, The Innocents was quite the surprise. I was floored by how powerful it was and expect it to be considered a classic in the years to come. Beautifully shot and acted, this film is both harrowing and uplifting, a sensitive portrayal of faith and compassion in the face of unspeakable violence.

THE STORY OF THE FOX (DIR. WLADYSLAW STAREWICZ, 1930)

Despite the proclamations of the Disney corporation, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was not the first feature-length animated movie. Among the several animated features preceding it, The Story of the Fox is a magnificent work, the crowning achievement of stop-motion specialist Wladyslaw Starewicz. If you're expecting a kiddie movie because it's about talking animals, then you're in for a surprise, because the humor is pitch black and often adult in nature. (Criterion, you need more animation in your line-up-- here’s the perfect candidate!)

THE FOUR SEASONS (DIR. ALAN ALDA, 1981)

Some people claim this movie is too negative and "needling," but I thought it was a touching and funny portrayal of friendship and marriage. The characters felt authentic to life, not at all Hollywoodized recreations of ordinary people. All of the actors are amazing, but my favorites were Rita Moreno and Jack Weston-- those two were hilarious. Weston's rant about his "bones decaying" is one of the funniest cinematic rants I have ever seen.

THE PARTY (DIR. BLAKE EDWARDS, 1968)

This movie is like a 1960s take on classic silent comedy technique. There’s little dialogue and much of the comedy comes from physical and visual gags. Director Blake Edwards often evoked silent comedy sensibilities in his work, even in non-slapsticky offerings like Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but in The Party his affection for that style reaches its apotheosis.

BEWARE MY LOVELY (DIR. HARRY HORNER, 1952)

A lot of people see Beware My Lovely as a downgrade from On Dangerous Ground, the more famous on-screen pairing of hard boiled icons Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan, but I enjoyed Beware My Lovely more. It's a thriller set in the aftermath of WWI about a widow trapped in her own home by a mentally disturbed handyman. It's not quite a masterpiece, but it is compelling with its slow build-up of tension and the quietly chilling finale.

3 DAYS OF THE CONDOR (DIR. SYDNEY POLLACK, 1975)

This is a great 70s thriller: very stylish and cerebral. It’s my favorite of the “paranoia thrillers” that were so popular during that decade, mainly because the tension remains so palpable throughout and the acting is top-notch, even if the romantic subplot is super--- weird, to say the least. However, the movie on the whole is suspenseful and chilling, with an ending that will haunt you long after the credits are done rolling.

KLAUS (DIR. SERGIO PABLOS AND CARLOS MARTINEZ LOPEZ, 2019)

Klaus walks a fine line between goofy comedy and genuine emotion. The animation style alone intrigued me, but the story is just beautiful, a wonderful fable about finding meaning in life through connecting with other people. I expected something cute-- I did not expect to cry five times.

MOUSEHUNT (DIR. GORE VERBINSKI, 1997)

Imagine the Wet Bandits trapped in a Tom and Jerry cartoon directed by Terry Gilliam-- that’s Mousehunt. I confess I have a dislike for many of the 90s movies that tried to copy Home Alone’s success as a sadistic slapstick comedy-- they’re often too big and too cartoony. This movie is cartoony, sure, but I think what I like is how oddly mean it gets. This is a true dark comedy and while it is not mean-spirited, its characters can be hilariously savage, far more than you’d expect in what is supposed to be a family movie.

RED SUN (DIR. TERENCE YOUNG, 1971)

While a touch overlong, this east meets west genre mash-up is unpretentious fun. Toshiro Mifune and Charles Bronson have better chemistry than I expected they would and the action scenes are delightful.

THE GOLDEN CHANCE (DIR. CECIL B. DEMILLE, 1915)

If you’ve never seen Cecil B. DeMille’s silent films, you’re missing out because his mid-1910s output is phenomenal. The Golden Chance is not often listed with the best of these, and while it may not be as revolutionary as The Cheat or The Whispering Chorus, it is still a fine film, a modern dress fairy tale with strikingly modern performances from Cleo Ridgely and Wallace Reid.

ZAZA (DIR. ALLAN DWAN, 1923)

Gloria Swanson was often accused of being a clothes-horse rather than an actress. I could name a number of movies that challenge that assumption and Zaza is one of them. The film itself does nothing groundbreaking: it's a rom-com with melodramatic trappings, but the cast does wonders with the material. Swanson is a hoot as the haughty actress who finds love with a respectable diplomat, but for me it was Lucille La Verne (now best known as the voice of the Wicked Queen in Disney's Snow White) as Swanson's alcoholic, parrot-toting friend who stole the show.

FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL (DIR. TERENCE FISHER, 1974)

I admit I was dreading watching this movie for a while. It gets painted as a dismal, out-of-touch conclusion to the Hammer Frankenstein series, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. Cushing’s “Helen Hayes” wig aside, this is one of his best cracks at the Frankenstein character, particularly in regards to how he views people. He’s a cold man, but not sadistic.He does have enough integrity to balk at outright abuses, but he’s okay with certain criminal activities as long as they are done in the pursuit of science. The ending scene is genuinely brilliant too, blurring the line between Frankenstein and his patients.

A FISH CALLED WANDA (DIR. CHARLES CRITCHON AND JOHN CLEESE, 1988)

Oh my God. I heard about this one for years but had no idea how amazing it would end up being. I don’t normally go for farce, but this is farce done right-- farce done sublimely.

TOKYO GORE POLICE (DIR. YOSHIHIRO NISHIMURA, 2008)

I don’t even know what to say about this masterpiece of the cinema.

NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY (DIR. JACK SMIGHT, 1968)

No Way to Treat a Lady is the weirdest serial killer movie I have ever seen. There might be something weirder out there, sure... but does it combine a romantic comedy about a stressed out cop trying to woo Lee Remick alongside the murderous antics of a mother-fixated actor who loves costumes a bit too much? I don't think so.

3 BAD MEN (DIR. JOHN FORD, 1926)

I have never seen the later John Wayne remake, so I cannot compare that more famous film with the silent original, but I can say that I enjoyed this movie very much, even as someone who does not typically go for westerns. It’s a classic story about criminals with hearts of gold aiding a damsel in distress and battling corrupt lawmen. There’s a lot of comedy, which people tend to love or hate in Ford’s movies, but I thought it worked here.

TARTUFFE (DIR. FW MURNAU, 1924)

I had my doubts about this play being made into an effective silent film as the source is so dialogue-heavy (obviously). However, I was pleasantly surprised! The acting is wonderful and the expressionist aesthetics perfectly suit this satire on moral and religious hypocrisy. It’s not the most regarded Murnau movie but if you love his work, then you’ll definitely want to check it out.

THE DESPERATE HOURS (DIR. WILLIAM WYLER, 1955)

This early home invasion thriller benefits from the compelling interplay between Humphrey Bogart and Frederic March, and director William Wyler’s wonderful compositions. It’s essentially Leave It to Beaver meets The Petrified Forest. While the second act sags a little, the movie is on the whole riveting and offers Bogart his last criminal role.

What were your favorite movie discoveries in 2021?

[stockwellarchives]

Have you watched all the “must-watch” picks and want to see more? Want to have more fun watching his stuff? This list is what I’d consider good or fun to watch, but not great. The catch is, either I only like certain aspects of the film/episode or I don’t think it’d be everyone’s cup of tea.

List below cut:

Home Sweet Homicide: the other comedy Stockwell did as a child. It’s pretty fun to watch, but the humor is way more in the dialogue and doesn’t have a mix of physical comedy like The Happy Years does. 

Deep Waters: I think the shots of Maine in this film are gorgeous. Also, Stockwell played quite a few orphans or misfit children as a child, and this is one such role. And as usual for many films from his childhood, the focus is more on the grownups than on his character.

Cattle Drive: Stockwell plays a little shit in this movie, and it’s great. He’s this spoiled rich kid who accidentally spends too much time away from the train, and ends up traveling with a bunch of cowboys for a while, learning not to be so spoiled along the way. I’ve seen it described as a Western version of Captains Courageous- it’s a shallow plot, but it’s fun.

Any of his Wagon Train episodes: Stockwell delivers some pretty good performances in all four of them, including a pre-Compulsion episode which is impressive. In particular, look for “The Will Santee Story,” since that’s the only thing he starred in with his then-wife, Millie Perkins, and I think that’s the best of the four.

Sons and Lovers: Stockwell loves D. H. Lawrence and was willing to be paid less than usual since he also loved the book this movie was based on. Also, for fun, you can see him play another Oedipal role pre-Battlestar Galactica.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents “The Landlady”: Glasses! Stockwell almost never wore them in roles when he was young, so this is a rare treat. I also like the Roald Dahl short story this was based on.

Dick Powell Show “The Geetas Box”: This was a pretty silly episode (sure, knock out the vault guys just to steal their truck and break in), but it’s a fun one to watch.

The Twilight Zone "A Quality of Mercy": Stockwell is fine in this. Let’s get that out of the way. What’s not fine is the yellowface part. Controversy addressed, it’s also interesting to see him sort of Quantum Leap long before playing Al.

Burke's Law (1960s) "Who Killed Lenore Wingfield?" Stockwell is only in a few scenes, but he’s playing a comedic role- a pre-1980s rarity, even if his character’s an idiot. This one is harder to find, unfortunately.

Rapture: Do you want to see a young Dean Stockwell soaking wet and vulnerable in the rain? Do you want to see him looking extremely pretty? Are you willing to overlook that he’s befriending and romancing a teenage girl even though he’s in his late 20s? Then you should go watch this!

The Dunwich Horror (1970): This movie is terrible, but I love it for Stockwell’s performance. Being a Lovecraft fanboy, he went all out for his performance. He had an artist friend paint on him, taking four hours, for one scene and copied some occult gestures from another friend, just for this movie. Beware: do not, I repeat, DO NOT watch the 2009 version. I regretted it.

The Werewolf of Washington: Another “bad movie, good Dean Stockwell.” The director had no idea what he was doing, but Stockwell dedicated himself to his role and it absolutely shows. 

Tracks: I group this, Human Highway and Crash together as “the plot is meh-to-weird, but you get to see Dean Stockwell hanging out with his friends, and it’s really different and/or something else compared to anything else he’s been in.” Well, Crash isn’t that different, but Tracks is still the best thing he’s been in with his best friend Dennis Hopper, other than Blue Velvet.

Greatest Heroes of the Bible "Daniel in the Lions' Den": I’m not going to lie. I love this for Stockwell’s costume, and the extra glittery black costume alone. That is all. (Plus he gets fed to a lion!)

Banzai Runner: Stockwell plays a rare leading man role, and he’s great as the cop who chases down banzai runners drag-racing down the highway (which was apparently a legit issue in early 1980s California).

Nowhere Man "You Really Got a Hold on Me": Stockwell basically takes over the episode. His character is a more cynical version of Al, but he’s great to watch.

Max Rose: Stockwell’s character is hinted at throughout the movie, and he has one scene towards the end that he’s really good in. Otherwise, the movie overall isn’t as good.

If you’ve seen and liked “Annabel” and/or “The Programming of Charlie Blake,” here’s more disturbed roles Stockwell was good in:

Johnny Staccato “Nature of the Night”

Checkmate “The Cyanide Touch”: Stockwell seems more on the edge of disturbed in this one, but it’s still fun.

Paper Man: It’s a computer-centric science fiction horror movie. Not bad for 1971!

The F.B.I. "End of a Nightmare": Stockwell’s character is a little silly in the beginning, but he’s great at the end. 

The Twilight Zone "Room 2426"

Stargate SG-1 "Shadow Play"

The Best Animated Movies For Adults: The ones to put on your list

Animated movies (or cartoon movies, if you prefer so) take us in a different world, and help us escape a mundane reality with highly exhilarating emotional and intellectual experiences.

The best thing about them – they’re not made only for children! Adults love watching them too, and they certainly have a few favorites among them.

Now, nobody implies that Bambi would be an adult person’s first choice, and even if it is – what the hack? If you’re a fan yourself, we have a delectable list of best animated movies for adults that may be marketed right towards you.

Here are the best animated movies for adults you shouldn’t miss:

Chico and Rita (2010)

Here’s a magnificent member of the list of best animated movies for adults –an evergreen romantic tale that will touch your heart!

Chico and Rita is a smoky love story from Cuba that feels incredibly real, despite of the fact its characters are fictional. Their messy and roiling passion that sustains their even messier and broken jazz musician lives got nominated for an Oscar, and will stay remembered for decades to come.

With so many ups and downs, this romantic and thrilling story brings us to a conclusion – There’s a bit of Chico and Rita in all of us!

‘Persepolis’ (2007)

Rather than another romance, we present you a dead-serious animation for adults that doesn’t exactly show the most pleasant story. Producers adapted Marjane Satrapi’s 2003 graphic novel that describes life in Iran before, during, and after its Islamic Revolution (1979), bringing to life a number of involving line-drawn images.

The tale was pictured with incredible clarity, and shed light of this important historical moment people in the US don’t really know much about.

The story is very well-animated, and supported by Satrapi’s bold cartoon expressionism that helps understand it.

Belladonna of Sadness (1973)

Jules Michelet’s book La Sorciere inspired many great cinematic pieces, including top quality adult animation movies. The topic is, as you recall, Middle Age witchcraft, and this movie helps us experience this period rather than simply analyzing it.

When you read the book, you get sad and involved into the tragic destiny of new wed Jeanne, and who was raped violently (yet lawfully in this period) by the feudal lord and his minions. The tormenting experience inspired her to make a pact with the devil, and to try hurting those that hurt her.

While it is difficult to depict her hatred and revenge with words, this hallucinatory and occult masterpiece does that just fine – at times, it is so explicit and severe that people misunderstand it.

Following its first release in 193, Belladonna of Sadness was restored in 4K, and promoted again. We’d say – it finally got the acknowledgement it deserves!

Fantastic Planet (1973)

Fantastic Planet is another great animated movie for adults that appeared on 1973. We get a unique opportunity to find out how it would be when humans would live on a giant plant, and be considered as animals.

Our opinion is that this is one of the best Sci-Fi movies made so far, with a recognizable visual style and stop-motion animation. Deep under the imaginative and superficial story of people being sub-leveled, this movie tackles important social questions such as racism and genocide.

Renaissance (2006)

Renaissance’s story takes place in Paris, several years from now. A brave cop is looking for the kidnapped scientist who holds the secret for an eternal life.

The use of specific techniques such as motion capture animation is what makes this animated adult movie a visual delight – it mixes up genres in a crafty way, and depicts our dystopian future in black and white. You wouldn’t believe how well that worked out!

‘My Neighbor Totoro’ (1988)

Hayao Miyazaki can safely be put on top of any animation creators’ list, and this is his masterpiece. My Neighbor Totoro is a nostalgically innocent story of a unique friendship between a kid and a giant, and the side effect is invoking pleasant memories of our childhood. At the same time, it is an adult cartoon movie that the entire family can watch.

FRITZ THE CAT (1972)

Here’s the debut and subversively successful animation of Ralph Bakshi, the man we today call the Father of modern American animation for adults. The movie is a total opposite to common, Disney-imposed views on animation – its visuals and its story aim to overcome political incorrectness, rather than simply providing an hour of entertainment.

Unlike most 70’s animated movies, this piece is slightly offensive and crudely satirical, which made it a common object of controversy.

One couldn’t expect less from a movie tacking the unused potential of letting anthropomorphic cats explore drugs, radical politics, and love. And yet, of course, it is not about cats, but about people. No wonder this movie has such historical significance!

Sita Sings the Blues

There are many reasons for Nina Paley’s Sita Sings the Blues to be considered and unique. To start with, the animation was distributed for free due to disputable music rights. Secondly, Paley used Flash to create almost all animations herself.

Last but not least, there’s the distinctive style – Paley combines scenes from her own life with renowned Ramayana tales, and delivers them with beautiful Indian shadow puppetry visuals. Now imagine that paired with some Annette Hanshaw’s 1930s jazz!

Beowulf (2007)

Beowulf is among the oldest and most legendary English epic manuscripts, which means that not every movie can bear its weighty legacy. Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman made the brave attempt to imaginatively adapt it, and created a fantastic adventure for adult viewers.

The cast was all-star (Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Robin Wright, Angelina Jolie, and Ray Winston), which means we get to enjoy both amazing visuals and starring performances. The piece is vastly entertaining and exhilarating, especially when you watch it in 3D cinemas.

Watership Down (1978)

Watership Down is one of the dark cartoon movies you don’t want your children to see, as it could create a very traumatic experience. At first sight, the animation looks like a family saga full of animals and adventure, but nothing in there is family-friendly. The highly-nuanced piece features devastating war scenes and societal conflict, and it is emotional enough to make everyone cry.

Paprika (2006)

Paprika is a fantastic Sci-Fi movie by Satoshi Kon with the most incredible story – the world where scientists don’t only analyze patients’ dreams, but also navigate through them. You’ll see lots of menacing dolls, marching appliances, collapsing cities, and disturbing sex scenes; and you’ll have to figure out the logic of such dreams yourself!

Heavy Metal (1981)

The animation flick shows us how a glowing green orb threatens a young girl with horrible, yet sensual fantasy stories. It follows the original concept adopted by Heavy Metal magazine – there are several stories instead of one, and each brings us a different entertaining affair. Beware – Movies like Heavy Metal are pretty explicit in how they depict violence and sex.

‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ (1993)

We’d call this animation the best Christmas film ever, and we’d recommend you to watch it even before the season’s on. Filmmaker Tim Burton blended in a unique way the charm of Halloween and Christmas, and introduced us to the pumpkin king who discovers the fun of celebrating Santa’s big day. Pretty awesome, isn’t it?

Grave of the Fireflies (1988)

Although kids play the main roles in Grave of the Fireflies, this movie goes nowhere close to a kids’ animation. Isao Takahata wants to share the shocking experiences of a brother and a sister who try to survive the WWII bombing in their hometown in Japan.

To soften the scary moments in the movie, Studio Ghibli’s experts employed some seriously accumulated artistry. Rather than fancy, this piece is low-key and non-sensational, and it is exactly the scenes of deceptive reality that make it that devastating.

American Pop (1981)

American Pop chronicles how a Russian-Jewish musician’s family lived throughout four generations. Their stories are being brought to us with subtle narratives, only to provide the most profound experience possible.

The reviews and ratings for this movie are mixed, but we believe there is nothing that can hamper the beauty of such a fine musical drama. In fact, American Pop has become more and more popular over the years, only to become Bakshi’s most praised animation work ever.

‘Fantasia’ (1940)

We all watched Fantasia as children, but how much of it did we really understood? The experience of watching it as an adult is something else, so give it a try!

Tower (2016)

Animated sequences are used in innumerous documentaries, but Keith Maitland developed a fresh approach to them. His relatively new piece Tower aired at SXSW in 2016, praised for its unique structure and meaningful message to our society.

Maitland worked with original materials; rot scoped reenactments, and animated interviews – a brave, but totally effective step in the animation world. This organizational structure was the best deal he had for drawing attention towards mass shootings in the States.

Heavy Traffic (1973)

In Heavy Traffic, we meet a young and eccentric cartoonist with bizarre fantasies… and a whole army of his imaginary and weird characters that inspire his art. The piece is once again signed by incredible and wildly original Ralph Bashi, whose authoritative control can be observed in every single scene.

The movie doesn’t go as far as becoming uncomfortable or self-indulgent, but still features incredibly personal and intimate sequences. MPAA rated it with an X because of its explicit nature, but critics called it ‘the best work Ralph Bakshi ever did’.

‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ (2009)

There’s a bit of an inner hipster in all of us. If you don’t believe it, check whether you will like Fantastic Mr. Fox. We bet you will!

The animation debut of Wes Anderson goes around an idiosyncratic fox and its adventures. The well-dress and socially acquainted protagonist leads a pleasing life, but can’t resist the urge to go back to wildness and cause a retaliation against all animals. We’ll see it rescue its community, and help it come to peace with the idea of not being immortal.

A Scanner Darkly (2006)

Richard Linklater chose the works of Philip K. Dick to create this amazingly inventive movie show. He confirmed in such way that this author did not only predict technological development, but also criticized American mores.

Sad and funny at the same time, this story used Sci-Fi elements to recreate the 1977 War on Drugs, and featured a number of iconic counterculture protagonists with all their good and bad sides.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters (2007)

This movie offers an unexpected mix of surrealism and humor, and belongs to the very few Adult Swim series that actually got a movie. Many critics, however, disapproved of the movie’s silly storyline and shallow approach.

Note that the movie also has an R rating for violent images, strong language, and adult humor.

‘The Triplets of Belleville’ (2003)

If a tour de France accompanied by typical French ladies and their cute dogs qualifies as a movie you’d watch, go for this one. The picture is pleasure-stuffed and yet dialogue-free, an excellent attempt of Sylvain Chomet to embrace the technique of silent storytelling.

The adventure of these adorable ladies features multiple references to modern pop culture, as presented by novice cartoonist Max Fleischer. You will find it easily understandable, relaxing, and truly charming.

Akira (1988)

Some viewers claim that Akira is monotonous to that end of becoming interminable, but that doesn’t decrease Katsuhiro Otomo’s great contribution to the anime world.

His cyberpunk zeitgeist and violent dystopian saga set the standards for many movies to come, even if the piece has little in common with classics such as Blade Runner.

Waking Life (2001)

Once again, it is astonishing how Richard Linklater looks at life, consciousness, unconsciousness, and the mere purpose of our existence. This time, he introduces us to a man who dreams constantly, and who’s struggling to find genuine answers about life.

The atmosphere in the movie is almost surreal – it pulls us right next to the dreamer, and it hypnotizes us with astonishing images we will remember for a long time to come.

There is nothing comparable to Waking Life – the piece never got an Oscar nomination, and we believe that’s where Academy members made a serious mistake. Yet, we should be aware that the movie contains some harsh language, and was therefore rated R.

‘Wallace &Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit’ (2005)

There is no Wallace & Gromit movie that you shouldn’t watch, but the Curse of the Were-Rabbit is the one you mustn’t miss! A feature-length and brilliant piece of visual delight, in particular for British movie fans ready to pack for an adventure. It is one of the very few movies on this list we recommend both for adults and for children.

South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (1999)

Do you remember the iconic sitcom ‘South Park’? Here’s a great movie based on it, and a story nothing less hilarious than you’d expect. Four underage boys got caught watching an R movie which happened to be Canadian. As a result, their mothers decided to initiate a war against Canada for trying to corrupt their kids.

As you can guess, the movie boosts with improper language and explicit scenes, and it therefore got an R rating shortly before it was released. Despite of the censorship issues, it has an incredible artistic value, and it is the only South park movie created so far.

‘The Lego Batman Movie’ (2017)

The Lego Batman Movie is way more about humor than it is about action and superheroes. We’ve got comedy legend Will Arnett playing the very self-involved and ultra-ego Batman – a combination that will make us laugh for hours.

Pink Floyd – The Wall (1982)

If you’re a fan of rock music, put this movie on your list right now! The cult classic focuses on a young and lost rocker, the world he’s created for himself, and the emotional dangers he’s afraid of. Here, we can see paranoia and self-destruction at their best animated versions, but as disturbing as this protagonist’s character is, we still find him fascinating and unforgettable.

This is another movie whose raw and intense depiction of violence and sexuality led to an R rating – yet, it is qualified as one of the best adult animations ever.

‘A Scanner Darkly’ (2006)

The original, life-like animation of Scanner Darkly was a staggering success, in part because of the excellent acting crew behind it. What is really specific is it being shot with actual live action footages that took a year to animate. In 2018, the movie may seem a bit outdated, but it still deserves a look.

Waltz With Bashir (2008)

Member of the specific genre of animated documentaries, Waltz with Bashir brought memories of Lebanon’s 1982 war, and did so better than many live scene movies. It is a masterpiece of director Ari Folman, the guy who used his own memories to portrait the deadly conflict, and to remind us of the cruel reality of war. This movie is not only psychologically effective, but even damaging – the viewing experience is so dark and provocative, and explores such devastating themes that you will never be able to forget it.

At the same time, its disturbingly violent and sexual content, and the number of disturbing graphic images brought it an R rating. Well, we all expected that.

Fire and Ice (1983)

There are two distinctive paths in Ralph Bakshi’s career: his pioneer animations from the 70s that were edgy and explicit; and the early 80s when he created epic and influential, but generally underappreciated fantasies. Among those was also Sorcery cult Fire and Ice, following the intriguing adaptation of The Lord of the Rings.

Bakshi had one of the best fantasy painters Frank Frazetta working on the case. He made the heroic and archetypical tale even more attractive, and took us on a joyful ride to the medieval age of good kings, dark lords, and brave warriors. We’d put this animation work right next to Conan the Barbarian, and name it one of the best animations the world has ever seen.

Team America: World Police (2004)

The classic mixes up politics with pop culture – the protagonists are a commando unit whose headquarters are secret and hidden. They look as glorified versions of Barbie and Ken dolls, as they have loping bodies and fragile marble eyes. You wouldn’t really picture them using a ‘xenophobic bluster’ in their administration, but well…they do!

The movie revives the stoicism of 60s Thunderbirds, which makes it even more intricate and explicit. For instance, there are enough montage puppet sex scenes to consider them as the focal point of the movie; as well as excellent showbiz satire brough to us by Janeane Garofalo and Sean Penn.

‘Yellow Submarine’ (1968)

A play of postmodern puns and surrealist conceits – that’s the best description of this brilliant Beatles movie. Get yourself a bottle of wine, and devote an evening to this pop art splendor and miracle of animation.

Anomalisa (2015)

What if you were a bored customer service agent whose life never seems to become more interesting? That’s the very story of Anomalisa, where the protagonist falls in love with a beautiful woman, and changes his life completely. The piece is touching and romantic and it inspires all of us to look for our soul mates. Just like other Charlie Kaufman movies, it stays under the skin and makes us want to watch it over and over again.

It’s Such a Beautiful Day (2012)

This movie was completely hand-made by Don Hertzfeldt’s, and it may not be the most visually exciting anime on this list. Yet, the piece is intellectually and emotionally involving, as it questions the meaning of life as observed by disordered protagonist Bill. The fun and the thrill are way bigger than the synopsis would indicate, so give this masterpiece a try!

Ghost in the Shell (1995)

Ghost in the Shell is another awesome attempt to use alternative anime for political goals. It focuses on conspiracy and sexual exploration paired with awesome Sci-Fi actions, a one-of-a-kind mash up with great influence on modern Sci-Fi.

Perfect Blue (1997)

The list of best adult animated movies wouldn’t be complete without this masterpiece of Japanese Animation. Perfect Blue follows the path of a singer who wants to become an artist, but descends instead in the dark and compromised world of her own expectations and ambitions. Practically, Darren Aronofsky recreated the timeless Black Swan piece, but with even more psychodrama and trilling experiences.

(Sensitive readers beware: fear factor ahead!)

Christmas time is here…and I love the holidays. The carols, the decorations, the over-the-top store displays, the Hallmark Channel movies–I love all of it. As I’ve gotten older, I don’t do as much myself. Our Christmas tree is still outside in a bucket waiting for us to have time to bring it inside. I haven’t done any shopping. But I still love to soak it all in wherever I go. I have Pandora on the James Taylor Holiday Channel, from which I’ve realized I actually like singers Josh Groban and Michael Buble (yes, Cathy and Ellen, you told me so).

  Like so much of what happens around me anymore, the atmosphere has launched a bit of nostalgia and longing for the Christmas of my childhood. So much excitement! Such specific rituals we followed, and the slow pace that kept an anxious kid like me all pent up, but in a good way. My mother always made us each a special outfit for Christmas day. I specifically remember a red velvet top with a lace collar and pants to match that I wish I still had (in my current size) and a pink velvet midi-dress festooned with pink satin ribbons. I did go through a serious pink phase. And apparently a velvet one, too.

Little me with a not very merry or healthy looking Santa.

Oh, the wishes for such treasures as a Lite-Bright and an Easy-Bake Oven, which were never met.

Vintage 1967 Lite-Brite.

Vintage 1960 Easy-Bake Oven.

Or the ones I did get that I wanted so badly. Like the Beautiful Crissy Growing Hair Doll. I loved Crissy so. She had a push-button on her tummy that you could use to wind up her hair to be short or pull it out to be long. As my own hair is always transitioning from long to short or short to long, I was fascinated by this insto-chango approach to hair.

  This is where things are going to take a weird turn. Around about 1970 or so, I really wanted a ventriloquist dummy for Christmas. I found one in the toy section of some department store catalog and made sure everyone knew that was what I wanted.

The Danny O’Day model. I had to have it. Him. Whatever.

You know the 1966 book A Christmas Story by Jean Shepherd, made into the popular 1983 film of the same name?

All Ralphie Parker wants is a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle. Set in 1940 in Indiana, the story of Ralphie and his friends Flick and Schwartz and his attempts to evade the bullies Scut Farkus and Grover Dill and Ralphie’s efforts to convince all of the adults in his life that an air rifle is a great idea and that he won’t shoot his eye out. At the end, Ralphie gets his Red Ryder, and remarks that it was the best Christmas ever.

Best Christmas ever. 

Enter me as Ralphie and Danny O’Day as my Red Ryder. The fact that I even wanted a ventriloquist dummy is very strange. I am afraid of clowns and killer Chucky-style dolls. I watched way too much of The Twilight Zone when I was up past my bedtime. There are 2 episodes that feature evil ventriloquist dummies: The Dummy and Caesar and Me. Then there’s a movie I vaguely remember with a mentally disturbed girl and the dolls and stuffed animals in her room that talk to her. They don’t say happy things. Or maybe that was The Twilight Zone, too. No, wait, the Twilight Zone with the murderous doll is the called Living Doll, featuring Talky Tina. This is the stuff of my nightmares.

    Again, what made me think I wanted Danny O’Day? Did I think I might have talent as a ventriloquist? Well, I got Danny O’Day, and it was NOT the best Christmas ever. I unwrapped the package, I opened the box, and I screamed. At least I think I did. I know I wanted to. But I dutifully spent the day pretending I loved Danny (who I renamed Charlie) and trying my best to follow the instructions on ventriloquism that came with him. I had no apparent talent for it. And then it was bedtime. I left Charlie in the living room, under the Christmas tree. And stayed awake all night positive that he was going to creep down the hall to my bedroom and kill me if I went to sleep.

He didn’t look that evil. If you start online searching for images of ventriloquist dummies, there are many much creepier examples.

Maybe it was his evil influence over me, but I surprisingly kept Charlie for years. We moved cross-country. We moved several more times. I went to college. I got married. And I still had Charlie. I kept him packed in a trunk (yes, that’s what the idiot humans in all the scary shows do, too, and it doesn’t work), sure he was going to get out eventually.

I had other scares, like the time I was home alone watching television and the trailer for the movie Magic (1978) came on. I turned my head and closed my eyes and tried to block it out. The mute button hadn’t been invented yet, and somehow it didn’t occur to me to immediately change the channel. Charlie-fear reared it’s evil, ugly head. The film is based on a book written by William Golding (author of Lord of the Flies; that doesn’t go too well for the characters either). Golding also wrote the screenplay. It starred Anthony Hopkins “as a ventriloquist at the mercy of his vicious dummy”.

      Yes, I was 17 and home alone for the night, except for Charlie in the trunk, watching television when this came on. Yippee. Needless to say, it was another long, sleepless night.

I did eventually manage to give Charlie away. I am not sure the child who was visiting us  and who thought Charlie was cool really wanted him, but I pretty much gave him no choice but to take Charlie with him. I’ve worried about that child, now a grown man, ever since. Charlie was moved to Turkey with his new person. You might imagine I felt safe. You would be discounting my overactive imagination. The film reel plays out in my mind of Charlie crawling out of his hole, finding his way onto an ocean liner, making his way eventually back to California, and appearing in my doorway, ready for revenge.

Of course I know this won’t happen. It would be silly for a 56-year old woman to hold a lingering childhood fear for a doll who, let’s face it, is a silly looking piece of plastic wearing bad clothes. Honestly, Beautiful Crissy could be said to be just as creepy as Danny O’Day. But still…

Summer before last I went to Maine to attend a week-long residency at the Institute for Humane Education. I was also taking a couple of humane education courses that summer, so I took one of the assigned readings with me to Maine. There I am in a cabin in the woods in the middle of nowhere, and I take out this book, Consuming Kids: Protecting Our Children from the Onslaught of Marketing and Advertising, by Susan Linn. Sounds innocent enough, and about a noteworthy topic. As I tend to do when I start a book, instead of jumping right in, I decided to read about the author. OMG, Susan Linn is a VENTRILOQUIST (an award-winning ventriloquist, no less) who uses puppets as therapeutic tools with childen. At first I laughed at the idea, then I got the creeps. I’m sorry, if I went to a therapist who turned out to be a ventriloquist, I would end up needing a lot (A LOT) more therapy! I couldn’t read the book. Again, I was in a cabin in the woods in Maine, scene of lots of teen slasher movies. I didn’t sleep all week. That might have been the massive amounts of caffeine and taking showers at 3 a.m. because there 14 of us sharing 1 bathroom, but Susan Linn, Ed.D., ventriloquist/child psychologist didn’t help me any. (Note: I don’t mean to belittle her work in children’s therapy, really.)

Dr. Susan Linn

    Now that I’ve turned Christmas into something totally macabre, let’s go back to happy thoughts. I did finally get that Easy-Bake Oven as a 50th birthday gift from Bob. Thank you!

Maybe some day I’ll get that Lite-Brite.

My wishes this year are simple yet complicated: happiness, joy, kindness, peace…beautiful words, easier said than done. Going back to another childhood Christmas memory, I like to remind myself of the message of A Charlie Brown Christmas, about the spirit of the holiday not being in all of the things and wrappings and show, but in the love, peace, and care we take in ourselves, our loved ones, and the world around us.

  I also reread the Dickens classic A Christmas Carol (1843) every year, following Ebenezer Scrooge as he opens his formerly greedy and cold heart to the world around him. If you don’t want to delve into Dickens, there’s always How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Same idea.

Albert Finney as Scrooge, reformed, playing Father Christmas for Tiny Tim, in the 1970 film version.

  I’ve posted this video clip before, but it’s become a classic since it was first televised in 1977 and merits reposting. I remember watching it at the time (1977) on the yearly Bing Crosby Christmas special and finding it so beautiful. It still is. It’s not just in the voices, or the melding of two seemingly very different men, from different countries and different generations. It’s in the love and longing for peace.

  You can’t go to the store and buy these things. You can’t wrap them up and put them under a tree. But we can give them to each other easily and freely, and we will all sleep better.

Peace, hugs, and have the happiest of holidays.

    Be careful what you wish for (and have yourself a merry little Christmas) (Sensitive readers beware: fear factor ahead!) Christmas time is here...and I love the holidays. The carols, the decorations, the over-the-top store displays, the Hallmark Channel movies--I love all of it.

My Dream Sonic Movie Stuff

I felt like putting revealed but just I’m worried it might not be all of it. Also was listening to this and was thinking of this. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YUN7DIDGpjk Infinite’s theme but I first thought of this when I was at Target. Yet didn’t wanna type a big thing and my phone battery was low even right now 33 percent. But I feel I should just reveal this.

Ever since the leak from Reddit I have it on my blog I’ve reblogged it and think should I tag it. Yet just….would get more attention just something I mean the leak itself. Including shared it with my friend Fatpinkraccoon and I think he said it was decent and wait

So I was trying to find the draft and he said it doesn’t sound horrible and he’s open up to it or some shit. Just seriously I was trying to find this draft I saved now 31 percent.

Yet seriously but I’m gonna get what I’m talking about. It’s about just I wanna be honest but or just…I feel like it went it’s good that if the leak is true or not. I mean my version is honestly kind of crazy. While the movie is kind of simple and alright. Despite some stuff I’m bothered with and liked.

Yeah it’s possibly better then my ideas I’ll explain.

Since I’m a Zack Snyder fan and I’ve even said I want to see Zack Snyder make a Sonic film. Which just…it can’t be weird yet I like him very much and Deborah Snyder too who helps him. Including I’m a DCEU fan and just it’s rare to find some Sonic fans and DCEU as one but found some.

Yet my ideas were basically kind of crazy I wanna talk about the ones I should just reveal. Because I feel like it’s not gonna be how I imagine it.

Including spoilers for the DCEU but mainly for Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice only that but just in case beware.

So mainly keep thinking of a trilogy or even a series of movies that’s kind of similar mainly to BVS to Justice League. While the first movie okay I think I have a story but not much.

Basically what I keep thinking is Sonic and Eggman or Robotink being said more have known each other for years. With Metal Sonic being introduced in the film. Including the film basically just has references and these ideas of these movies.

Is that they have awesome visual references or just being based upon certain stuff. Such as the origin of Metal Sonic basically being based upon his origin from the OVA even a shot to shot remake I guess of his birth. Even the, “Strange Isn’t It” line is reference because of how much I loved that movie. Including how it interpreted Metal Sonic.

Along with the music the soundtracks being scored by Hans Zimmer if he was up for it along with Junkie XL most likely would for scores. Including very meaningful ones.

While the songs are some picked from the games to go with certain events.

Theirs even a remake version of the Sonic CD intro almost left Boom but you know the song and have it there but with Modern Sonic or movie Sonic. Even stuff like the Death Egg Robot but the story was a problem whether go with the Death Egg or Little Planet in respect of Metal Sonic and my friend Fatpinkraccoon messaged me about don’t be hyped for movies just it didn’t show the whole thing didn’t press it. Might be how he meant about Sonic Forces.

Yet also the music the songs not just from the games. But new ones selected from certain musical groups. Such as Linkin Park despite the tragic event that happened, Red, Disturbed and seriously, “Ten Thousand Fists” is amazing and just have that during a team up battle scene.

Then theirs the sequel and the crazy idea Sega would want Shadow early but I want Chaos done first too. Yet I was even making myself think that giving it a exuse. But the idea of mixing Sonic Adventure 1 and 2’s story together to have both Shadow and Chaos working together along with Dr. Eggman, Rouge, and Metal Sonic.

Including it’s still difficult of how to put those together. Such as Gerald’s plans and Perfect Chaos and the Ark. Also Tikal is in there too even talks to Shadow at times along with others.

Their is also the idea that the sequel is basically the Dawn Of Justice of the Sonic movies where the ending is of Super Sonic, Super Shadow, Perfect Chaos now reformed, and even Metal Sonic who knows the planet will die if he doesn’t help they all fight the Biolizard who’s strong as fuck.

Including it’s basically the Trinity vs Doomsday in BVS and it’s on Earth. Including in a weird way Metal Sonic is in Wonder Woman’s role because coming out of nowhere because he knows he needs to get involved.

Even the ending and I’ve made a huge text post where Shadow kills the Biolizard and the Biolizard kills him too. They even seriously bury Shadow as well and it causes people to think and makes them sad.

Then the sequel is basically Sonic Rush and Sonic Lost World into one no Eggman Nega but Blaze, Marine, and the Deadly Six. Where it even features Shadow’s rebirth.

Even his rebirth is basically a visual reference to Sonic X in the third season. He seriously launches out of his grave and but you know see his face but I guess his well shadow see what I did there or even feet or back of him looking at his monument.

He then just finds where a battle is at and his rings his inhibitor rings he took all four of them off and Amy has them. Including he finds these two Chaos Emeralds or how many were there when he returned and everyone is like HOLY FUCKING SHIT SHADOW BACK FROM THE FUCKING GRAVE HE’S ALIVE AGAIN the whole world goes ape shit or just so surprised.

Yet Shadow lost his memory when he supposedly died and I wanna put this he’s like I CAN’T REMEMBER SHIT BECAUSE I GOT STABBED BY A FUCKING BIOLIZARD or some shit. I forgot basically or was it like I CAN’T FUCKING DIE I WAS IN A COMA or some shit okay yeah I WAS HEALING FOR A SHIT LONG TIME FOR MONTHS or something because he can’t die. Yeah he got stabbed in the chest where his heart is at and everyone finds out about that he seriously can’t die.

But also he’s like not able to remember anything even they tell him he scarificed himself for the Earth and forgot does he just get out of his grave quickly or does he look at his monument forgot the first time of how I thought of it.

Yet even them telling him about the Ark he just can’t remember and doesn’t wanna help until something happens like characters words and actions he remembers everything before his death and back to the Ark and when he remembers he’s like to Zavok DON’T YOU DARE THREATEN MY FAMILY or YOU DARE THREATEN MY FAMILY while beating the shit out of him. That’s a reference to Man Of Steel and just the word family is a big word. Including Shadow because of Maria and Gerald the word means something to him or bothers him.

I even forgot in the sequel when kicking Sonic’s ass theirs a Martha moment I even made a post of that before Sonic Forces but it’s a moment I like and I understand it. Yet when Sonic says what about Maria or some shit and he even says SAVE MY FAMILY and okay WHAT ABOUT MARIA basically the scene where someone ether Amy or Chris tries to talk to Shadow. This basically haunts Shadow and he’s like STOP SAYING THAT NAME because he thinks he should be the only one to say that name. I’ve even quoted this and afterwards he’s like NO ONE’S FAMILY IS DYING TONIGHT.

I should just reveal basically Shadow’s role is mixing Batman and Superman’s character into one in a way.

But just I’m being weird and I need to talk about other stuff. Theirs Tails and I like Tails. You guys know and I was gonna say remember his Tornado yet weird it’s Sonic’s plane or whatever they say. Including remember it can turn into some vehicle in Sonic Adventure 2.

Also in Sonic X it’s the X Tornado and just imagine this. It’s a lot more fucking badass that even it’s vehicle forms has even more fucking guns kind of like tank. Basically just imagine the Bat vehicles even the Batmobile and just Tails is a fucking badass in that thing. It’s got fucking guns and can fly. Even other people can ride it.

Their also seems to be a lot of shouting WOOOOO mainly Sonic because I do that mainly Sonic Unleashed or some shit.

Including the other weird thing okay having the film be all CGI isn’t weird.

But I’m just also this I’m like so how are we gonna have, Catherine Taber (Lori Loud), Noel Wells(Lord Dominator) Ashley Burch (Enid) basically Loud House, Wander Over Yonder, OK KO and other actors how are we gonna fit them in and still think like human characters and new characters and others.

Including now with Sonic Forces out I’ve even revealed stuff. Such as a Team Chaotix movie with Vector, Espio, Charmy, Mighty, Ray, and maybe Madonna and forgot or might of thought of having Honey in there. Even the villains being Fang, Bean, and Bark and Sonic shows up at the end to help the Chaotix.

Their was even a Shadow film but not based upon the game but a new story. A Sonic Unleashed film as one of the sequels. Then a Sonic Mania movie. Now we have a two part movie of Sonic Forces with Silver appearing in the first one and this is all before Sonic Forces came out.

Including it’s not the big epic game I was hoping for that Fatpinkraccoon said I had false hopes about. Along with Infinite not being the Darkseid/Thanos of the Sonic universe where he kicks everyone’s ass. But yeah Sonic Mania being a prequel to Sonic Forces like how the game is too. To set up Classic Sonic and give classic fans a movie they want.

Yet just….over time shit changes. Even though I like Sonic Forces I still play it but I’m mixed on the game. Including my mindset has really changed. Such as I like the avatar and Infinite despite what his real story is……

I feel like that should be enough to be revealed. Such as just…I’ve talked about it before even sound tracks I listen from BVS I think of those scenes and just…..

Really it’s I thought in my head best that I’m not in charge of these films. I’ve basically created a franchise in my head and it’s caused me to go insane at times.

I said in my head let me have this like this leak. But even if it’s fake or not almost left rare instead of fake. Really just I like it oh head.

Okay but seriously it’s simple. Seriously my stomach even at the start of this somewhat but I’ve thought so much shit but not the first movie that’s all.

Got tags done and think no one else in other tags wants to be bothered. Wanna say 16 percent gonna charge this after I answer that message. Yet I’m surprised the Sonic movie 2019 tag showed up first
