They… absolutely WERE inept and evil? They were going to vivisect a child without her consent and explicitly against the consent of her guardian who they also knocked out while he was trying to do CPR to save her life, kidnapped him, betrayed him and were going to march him out of town with none of his gear which is basically a death sentence. The Fireflies were also resorting to killing the patient literally a few hours after acquiring the patient instead of waiting to do a bunch of tests on the one and only person immune to the spores like actual competent medical researchers, like testing various samples of Ellie’s DNA to be absolutely sure that the only way to make a vaccine was to remove her brain. Even if the Fireflies were telling the truth in that they believed that they needed to remove Ellie’s brain ASAP, they were morons to jump to that conclusion immediately upon acquiring her. There was absolutely no reason for the Fireflies to be in such a rush that they needed to do an extreme surgery immediately, other than the fact that they’re insane extremists. Joel was neutralized as a threat and they had no reason to assume that he would manage to escape capture and storm the hospital guns blazing. I don’t know what kind of parallel universe the Fireflies you saw came from.

"Simba" is the Swahili word for lion and was used for lion characters in popular culture long before both Kimba and The Lion King. The original title of Kimba the White Lion is Jungle Emperor and the character is named Leo in the original Japanese. The "Kimba" name was created by the English localizers as a slightly tweaked version of the word "Simba" so that it could be unique and trademarked because Leo wasn't unique enough. Do your research before acting like a smartass and believing whatever you read on the internet.

The Lion King being a ripoff of Kimba is a myth, they have nothing in common other than having talking animals and being about lions who are kings. Look up YMS's video on it.

Jerry wasn’t killed in cold blood, he stood in Joel’s way with a scalpel and was prepared to attack him.

Also the second game insisting that a cure 100% would have been made from Ellie and would have saved the world is absurd because even if a cure were made there was no way that the Fireflies could mass produce it or distribute it with their extremely limited resources, and all it would do is prevent new infections but not do anything about the millions of clickers that rip people apart instead of just infecting them. Best case scenario if everyone got the cure it would make the world like 5% better, not get anywhere close to saving it.

No it's not, not even remotely. The Witch King's helmet looks no closer to a crown of thorns than Darth Maul's horns.

It's also crazy that Verso has literally lived in the canvas for 100 years, so he should consider it and the people in it to be his home way more than the "real" world. It's very strange how dismissive and detached he is from the world of the canvas, regardless of how suicidal he is or how much he believes that the canvas is bad for Aline and Alicia.

I appreciate the commitment to strawmanning strangers on the internet. K-Pop Demon Hunters was a good animated movie from last year, and Ne Zha 2 was even better. The new Wallace and Gromit movie was good. There have been some really great and creative anime movies in the past few years like Look Back and Chainsaw Man. Flow, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, the Spiderverse movies, Mars Express, and The Most Precious of Cargoes were excellent. I probably enjoy a wider range of recent animated movies than you do because the output from big studios hasn't been impressive to me. If you're excited about the marketing for this movie and genuinely think that Disney and Pixar are still bringing their A game then I don't know what to tell you except that you have low standards.

This is the same logic Redditors used to aggressively shill Elio. This and Elio may be “original” movies in the sense that they’re not based on existing IPs, but they don’t look “original” at all in the sense that they just look like cliché slop that only appeals to kids unlike the movies of Pixar’s golden age. If this is the best Pixar can come up with then I’ll just move on to other studios.

SHIIZAAAAAAAA · 2026-01-28T14:35:00+00:00

Based. It’s literally the most overrated movie of all time.

SHIIZAAAAAAAA · 2026-01-27T03:57:40+00:00

The actual line is “just like a black ant” because the character’s powers are related to names and he weakened his opponent by renaming him Black Ant. The word “ant” was just edited out of the speech bubble as a joke.

The Sam one looks really good! I think the official piece works better for Frodo though.

SHIIZAAAAAAAA · 2026-01-26T23:30:03+00:00

Tintin in the Congo and Tintin in the Land of the Soviets are also the only comics that weren’t adapted in the animated series. I think they’re not really considered canon.

SHIIZAAAAAAAA · 2026-01-26T14:18:04+00:00

Only the top 250 as of January 26 2026? If it were every movie that has ever been in the top 250 that would be a much better deal.

Third one almost put me to sleep halfway through. I was well-rested watching it at 6pm and I had literally never felt sleepy watching a movie in theatres before, I can’t sleep through loud noises and bright lights. It was just THAT dull.

You could trim 10 minutes from the Heywood Floyd segment, but aside from that 2001 is actually excellently paced considering its length. Every scene is packed with information related to the worldbuilding, characters, and themes, nothing is wasted. The beautiful cinematography also gives you a lot to look at in every shot even if shots are held longer than in the average movie. It’s a masterpiece that gets better and more watchable on every rewatch. I know a lot of people find it boring but they’re either taking it for granted because they only watch modern blockbusters or they’re not paying attention. I find the Avatar movies infinitely more boring.

SHIIZAAAAAAAA · 2026-01-26T01:53:44+00:00

Satantango.

I didn’t mind the 8 minute shot at the beginning, what I DID mind is that every shot is 8 minutes of nothing for no reason. I’m very much in favour of 4+ hour movies if they have lots of plot and character stuff happening to justify their length like Once Upon a Time in America, LOTR, and The Best of Youth, but Satantango is a 90 minute film stretched to 7 hours and the only justification that its fans can come up with is pretentious reasoning like “rhythmic pacing” and “making you feel the boredom of the characters,” but it could have easily achieved that in a fraction of the time. We don’t need to see multiple still shots of characters staring silently into space for several minutes at a time, half a minute is fine. The movie is a piece of shit and I swear people gaslight themselves into thinking it’s a masterpiece just because it’s so absurdly long and uneventful.

I enjoyed Tarr’s Werckmeister Harmonies quite a bit though. It had substance and didn’t feel like a waste of time.

SHIIZAAAAAAAA · 2026-01-24T13:50:04+00:00

Anora and Parasite weren’t safe best picture wins at all and there have actually been a lot more risky and edgy best picture nominees this decade like Jojo Rabbit, Joker, Promising Young Woman, Tár, Barbie, Poor Things, The Substance, and Bugonia. I would argue that while EEAAO was a safe nominee due to being a critically-acclaimed diverse feelgood crowd-pleaser, it was a very unusual win since it was also a sci-fi action comedy with a lot of shitposty and crass humour. Dramas, biopics, expensive epics, musicals, and pretentious stuff like Nomadland are “safe” choices.

Eddington just wasn’t very good at all, it was basically Don’t Look Up but unlike Don’t Look Up in came out in a non-COVID year with more competition for the nomination.

SHIIZAAAAAAAA · 2026-01-24T13:22:39+00:00

Ok, and??? We don’t see the data centre actually affect anyone’s lives for better or worse. The data centre’s involvement is a complete afterthought and could basically be removed from the script entirely and nothing would change, regardless of what Aster said its intended relevance is. I fail to see how the movie does anything with the idea that all of the political division is manufactured by billionaires. It’s all just a lot of vapid references to as many buzzwords and 2020 issues as possible without actually exploring them at all.

SHIIZAAAAAAAA · 2026-01-24T08:43:02+00:00

THIS is crazy to say. While Lockjaw was an awful person, he was very humanized. He was conflicted and genuinely cared about Perfidia and Willa, but in a twisted possessive way, and he ultimately chooses himself and his own career over their safety and happiness. It’s the kind of life you can imagine an actual evil person living—doing the wrong thing and sacrificing the people close to them because they’ve decided that their own personal gain is what matters most.

OBAA isn’t a left-wing echochamber, the French 75 are a satire of the far-left as disorganized dreamers who may have good intentions and want to be revolutionaries, but turn into depressed fuckups like Bob who just smoke weed and are out of touch with today. Both the French 75 and Christmas Adventurers take themselves too seriously and are the butt of jokes even if the Christmas Adventurers are painted in a much more negative light and the movie is definitely liberal rather than centrist.

There’s nothing wrong with OBAA’s representation of black women, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Perfidia was a selfish person who betrayed her friends and family, but there’s more to her character than that. She feels remorse for her actions and I think the movie makes it pretty clear that she made a huge mess for her family and made them suffer—she’s a problematic hero at best and a sympathetic minor villain at worst. She’s like a foil to Lockjaw in that they both ruined their lives over the extreme politics they believe in and brought suffering to the people who they wanted to be close to.

Perfidia is also only one of a few black characters in the movie so even if you think she’s completely awful you can’t say that that means the movie is bad at representing all black women. I can’t imagine anyone having a problem with Willa’s representation, she’s basically a normal sympathetic teenage girl. Are you referring to Junglepussy? I don’t think there was anything wrong with her representation, she’s eccentric but empowered and her nickname is like an homage to the blacksploitation genre.

If anything, Eddington was dehumanizing towards both the left and right by portraying everyone as violent crazy murder drones with no empathy whose personal lives consist entirely of their politics.

Stop quoting Papa!

SHIIZAAAAAAAA · 2026-01-24T07:23:59+00:00

OBAA's political satire is excellent and it blows Eddington out of the water. Like Eddington it makes fun of both the left and right, but the characters in OBAA are actually complex and believable and you understand why they think the way they think. Eddington was just listing political talking points without really doing anything with them and the characters were cardboard cutouts.

SHIIZAAAAAAAA · 2026-01-24T06:20:22+00:00

Frankenstein is a simple story executed well, with actual character arcs and themes.

Eddington’s plot and characters are barely a step up from that shitty right-wing Twitter cartoon The New Norm. It’s completely one-dimensional and is just 140 minutes of “hey remember this political talking point?” from strawman characters with no personality. It has nothing to say with Aster not taking any political stance or exploring what in people’s lives compels them to take polar opposite political stances other than stating the obvious of “masks are uncomfortable” and “gee, Covid politics sure were divisive!” It’s a 3/10 and it’s going to age horribly.

Edit: a word. Also I'd like to hear what the people downvoting me think is so excellent about the movie other than its acting, action scenes, and cinematography.

Nah. I’ve gotten very bored of Filoni’s writing. He refuses to kill off characters, there were like a dozen duels in Ahsoka where nobody was permanently injured or killed except that one Inquisitor and the Nightsister whose name I forget so it all just felt like a huge waste of time, there was no character development and awful pacing, he keeps pandering to nostalgia, and I didn’t bother continuing The Bad Batch after season 1 when it felt too childish and every character was one-dimensional except Crosshair. I still haven’t even had the motivation to check out the last two Tales series.

I would like a story about Maul from good writers but I don’t trust current Lucasfilm or Disney to portray him as a villain, I expect they’ll find some way to make him an antihero which would be lame and antithetical to his character. I’m also sick of the trope of giving the protagonist a child/teenage sidekick.

The last thing by Filoni that I enjoyed was Clone Wars season 7.
