Topic: Movie thread.

@Tremblucay I adore Hayao Miyazaki airship designs

@Kermit1
Yup, he's very good at those. He's very good at world building in general. He puts a lot of effort and detail in showing how everything works. However weird his designs can get, they always feel real somehow.

@Tremblucay I saw Spirited Away once... I liked The Secret Life Of Arrietty more... I really enjoy his style (mind you I've only seen 3 of his films) and the Cat's Return was cute and odd at the same time. BUT WHY IS THE ANDY RITCHER SUPER CUTE CAT THATS A GIRL IN JAPAN AND IT FITS BETTER!!!!!!

I think my brain broke when typing that lol

@Kermit1
Sorry to say this, but out of the three films you mentioned only Spirited Away was directed by Hayao Miyazaki. They're all Studio Ghibli films, but that studio had numerous talents working on films.
Haven't seen The Cat Returns so can't comment on that one.

@Kermit1 I wouldn't even watch the movie if I was paid to.

Ok, maybe a few thousand dollars, but reluctantly.

@Tremblucay "Anime" directors confuse me, so many to keep track of lol

@HotGoomba Lemme see, this enough?

@TheJGG Indeed, and it makes me happy. Not only being a Trolls fan, but also because it was the big one that skipped theaters years ago. Friend and I are going to try to go again to the next showing in August, just to experience it one more time, albeit in a different local theater.

Going to see Thor next, tagging along with a friend. Not sure what else I plan to see. I'm thinking about Top Gun Maverick, but may wait for streaming to watch with my mother. She loves Top Gun, but can't make it to a theater.

Also, my friend and I are going to keep the theater that showed Trolls World Tour in mind. They not only show current movies, but they show older and classic movies from time to time too. On their schedule includes Sing, Shrek, Kiki's Delivery Service, It's a Wonderful Life to name a few. First time to a mom and pop theater, and it was nice.

@Tremblucay Definitely, that's what I love about the Trolls World Tour climax yesterday.

Trolls World Tour spoilers... Especially when the Trolls realize that the music was not the strings, but was inside their hearts the whole time.

To be honest, I only know about a couple. There are very few anime films that I like, the genre has a tendency to be very over the top and that's usually not my cup of tea. Ghibli films are very mellow compared to most other anime and that's probably why I like them so much.

That's a vey beautiful sentiment.

Alrighty I got back to a computer lol, so me and my friends went and saw the new Thor and I really found it quite enjoyable. Taika Waititi has yet to fail in the MCU, because I'd say Love and Thunder can stand up to Ragnarok (I enjoy Ragnarok a bit more for my own reasons).
Don't go into the movie expecting big MCU story expansion or lore, this movie could stand on it's own and only really relies on you having watched endgame and ragnarok. It was a nice blend of action and comedy that I'd give a solid 8 to.
(minor spoilers) I had a few problems with it, mainly the fact that the movie revolves around a wish-granting mcguffin that apparently just existed which makes the fight for the infinity stones... less impactful? I don't know maybe it was just me, but knowing that you could've granted a wish just by going somewhere rather than create entire blockbusters about finding magic rocks and losing friends just felt weird.

2 end credits for all going to see it

@Tremblucay Indeed, that's what I love about Trolls, there's some nice heartfelt moments that made me tear up. Both happy and sad tears, in World Tour's case, happy tears. Another good example is the True Colors scene from the first movie.

Trolls spoilers...
A troll Poppy trusted, Creek, betrays the trolls, making Poppy lose all hope, and lose her color (Trolls lose their color when scared, deeply sad, or lose all hope). I started crying because Poppy throughout the movie is upbeat, positive, and always looks to the bright side of things. Then Branch starts singing "True Colors" to her, which in turn helps her get her color and hope back. Then those sad tears turn happy.

That's what I love about this movie series (as well as the spin-off holiday specials and Netflix/Hulu series), it may be cute and silly on its surface, but there's heart to them. Though, I do like the characters are cute too.

Not really a movie, but I've finished stranger things multiple times over( it's my favorite show of all time). What would be ideal to watch if you're into that show and you've finished it? Fyi I've also watched fear street which is awesome btw.

@NintendoByNature I'd ask that here

I just watched Matinee with John Goodman
This movie is awesome! from all the homages to William Castle and the gimmicks of cinema, to all the classic monster movie love and love of cinema. 9/10 in my book

Watched Thor Love and Thunder, I loved it more than Doctor Strange MOM, and I'm not allowing any of you to be spoiled by me. Try asking me, I dare you. I won't spoil you.

@Kermit1 but what if the recommendation is a movie. Would I be directed from the TV show thread back to this thread? 🤔

@NintendoByNature you broke my brain. Yes?

Watched X-Men: Apocalypse this morning.

I've always bounced off it every other time I've tried to watch it (usually just catching it on cable), but actually making the point to watch it & I have to say I liked it more than I thought I would. Still not as good as First Class & it was a bit overly long, but a decent enough superhero action (would have liked to see more Psylocke though).

@NintendoByNature Starnger Things is clearly 80s kids who liked Stephen King films growing up and then made their own Stephen King show only it's not actually based on a Stepphen King book so I'd give IT, Christine, Firestarter, Carrie, Needful Things, Stand By Me, The Shining, Doctor Sleep, The Dead Zone etc a watch. Doctor Sleep in particular is criminally underrated.

Let me guess, does the good guy win at the end of the movie after 2+ hours of constant quips which removes any underlying tension and emotion from the movie whilst the audience chased pop culture references even if they don't know what the references are or am I thinking of every single Marvel film? ;p
