Topic: Movie thread.

@HotGoomba I think a lot of people could. lol It's not that hard in 2022 if one simply pays attention.

By the way, can we please stay away from the term "woke"?

@Mioaionios Fair enough. It's just a term Hollywood (and the vast majority of the world) throws around in interchangeable usage with "diversity," but I didn't mean anything offensive by it. My apologies.

@HotGoomba You mean like Spirited Away which did win best Oscar? Although I can dozens upon dozens of anime that are exactly like that, I lost interest in the anime thread on here after three pages on people going on about High School DxD.

In any case I was poking fun at the earlier complaints about Hollywood not be woke enough for anime, it's lazy zeitgeist complaining which automatically makes me stop taking things seriously besides Hollywood loves perverts like Harvey Weinstein, underage cleavage waifu should be winning all of the Oscars!

@Maxenmus
It's not Hollywood that uses the term, it's conservatives who use it as some sort of insult.
I know you didn't mean to use it in that way, no worries there, but when non-conservatives are starting to use it as well, we're only playing to their hands.

Alright, that's enough politics from me.

Okay, does "new" coke work instead? I'm joking but yeah that word is overused everywhere and we need to broaden our dictionaries.

I watched Awakenings and I thought the whole medical side of things was very interesting to see play out. Robin Williams and Robert DeNiro were pretty good in it, and I thought the whole supporting cast did a good job.

@jump Actually, the statement I made that you're trying to distort indirectly with your passive-aggressive argumentative post was that "Hollywood is not diversive enough to include Japanese and Asian animated films." As an Asian myself, I have no idea why I have such desires to see such inclusion, but hey, you're the expert here.

@Mioaionios Honestly, I could barely care about politics. I get that there's some kind of irritation towards conservatives or whatever, but it's all the same to me when it comes to Hollywood agendas trying to force messages that don't make a good story.

This is not film talk this is politics. Yes it includes movies within the discussion but really it's all about egos and what team you vote for.

I am not a political person and if you get some kind of enjoyment out of "politics", how do you wake up every morning.

Ew, that's all the politics talk you will get from me.

@Eel I think this might get out of hand soon.

I don't exactly consider myself a political person either since I don't even know what those keywords and phrases people kept using really mean (conservatives, republicans, etc.), but I think politics do have enough of a functionality in the world that people can "wake up every morning" just fine enjoying it. Just my two cents.

Let's please avoid political arguments.

@Maxenmus I kinda meant (not to start an argument) if you are really "political" and enjoy being so, to the point of ""loving"" it.

Ew Ew Ew EW EW I'm done talking about politics can we go back to talking about Cars 2 or something film related.

@HotGoomba
I have Cars 2 Pixar on PS3.
Also, I'm not a movie holic.

@Anti-Matter Anyone who plays the Cars 2 game is an absolute genius.

@HotGoomba I like Cars 2 and can confirm I'm all of the above

@HotGoomba that game is so awesome!!!

Well, you're still better than a Tumblr user.

I saw Cars 2 in the theatres and liked it. But now I see the error of my ways.

@Maxenmus More or less, I meant in general rather than the Oscars themselves when I said that. Outside of the Internet, I don't know many who like anime aside from myself and friend. It would be nice if they did acknowledge animation from other countries more. Some of my favorite shows happen to be anime, and it features sometimes beautiful artwork and great stories.

I still remember when I started exploring anime outside Sailor Moon and Pokemon, I was very surprised how much there was, and how many genres it spans too.

@HotGoomba I'm sorry, I saw Cars 2 in theaters and I liked it, as fun movie to watch and one of the few Pixar movies to not make me cry. That video game however, the Cars 2 video game was amazingly fun. Same with the Cars 3 game since it mostly used the same gameplay mechanics.

Plus, I'm none of the above too.

@HotGoomba Haha yeah discreetly closes the tumblr tab I just had open

In my defence I stopped actively using tumblr a while ago, I was just, you know, checking in, making sure I hadn't missed any messages from cars2fan95 or mater-kach0w or any of my other old mutuals
