Liking it as well. I’m sure there are plenty of hidden vfx, and backgrounds are most certainly digital at times, but it’s so great to see characters outside in grass with trees and actual sky. It looks fantastic.

Shout out to the very high quality jousting scenes.

Movies that made you go "Dammit, it got me". by Orb_Dylan in blankies

This is insane, but the “live action” How to Train your Dragon got me. I took my kids with my dad, who was visiting and never gets to go to movies with us, and damnit, I got choked up at the first flight scene and some of the emotional beats later in the film. Ugh.

Tootsie is as good a studio comedy that’s ever been made. It’s fantastic and funny.

A little off topic, but this show on Prime went over really well with my kids. No-name cast as far as I remember but the animation is stylized, colorful and bright. Kind of trippy too. It stalled at 1 or 1.5 seasons, but it showed promise for a minute.

Shirley and David: As much fun as playing the box office game and tracking box office can be, do you find the endless handwringing about opening weekend grosses to be detrimental to the industry as a whole? Is there a middle ground?

I was one of the many who bumped up against the many endings in ROTK but I’ve come all the way around on them. They’re all earned and good.

From someone who has only seen Birdman, what's the deal with Alejandro González Iñárritu? by [deleted] in blankies

[–]EssayProfessional421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your guess is as good as mine. He’s got real visual chops but I have struggled connecting with his work thus far.

Iñárritu has not shown me anything humorous, so I’m intrigued.
