Topic: Movie thread.

@Maxenmus hey, everyone likes different things. Me and @Anti-Matter both don't like M and R rated stuff.

@Kermit1
True, but I don't seem to cry at a lot of films people do. I mean, I still cry at films, but quite a few popular ones and anime even just don't faze me.

Except Coco though, because screw that ending that made me bawl. lol

@Rambler you don’t mean mature, you mean saucy! If you really want a mature film try The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel!

@Maxenmus I don't cry at any film or game. Though if a good Muppet film comes out... I will shed tears.

@jump do you mean raunchy. Though saucy does sounds better.

@Kermit1 saucy is a British term meaning xxx. Like The Carry On films are saucy rather than mature films like The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel where the cast is so old you have to Google to see if they are still alive or not.

@jump... Oh, I'm Canadian we don't have fancy words we just borrow ones.

@Kermit1
I cried every time I watch this scene from Disney movie.

I've been on a streaming subscription spree recently. Got Shudder and Peacock Premium for a month.

My ★★★★ review of Prisoners of the Ghostland on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/388nkb

I didn't write reviews for them, but I also watched the following:
Prey
All About Evil
The Northman
Mad God
The Alien Quadrillogy
The Resident Evil Netflix series

I watched Hairspray.................. I feel odd saying this but ^{_{I liked it}}. I'm someone who cringes at "most musicals" but this one was pretty good and I thought John Travolta was oddly cast as the Mom but then I watched the movie and it made a little more sense why he was cast (his singing was 10/10).

@Rambler You might be on to something.

Jason Isaacs is a legend. He did vlogging before it was cool.

Mom and I watched Pollyanna on Disney+ tonight, another live action Disney movie. Neither one of us ever seen this movie, and we both loved it. It was such a wholesome movie. We both loved how this sweet girl, Pollyanna, got a whole town to smile and come together. Though, I didn't expect it to take the turn it did in the end, with Pollyanna falling from high up, and having her legs paralyzed. It was satisfying to see everyone come together to see her off before leaving to the hospital. Also satisfying to see Mr. Pendergast adopt Jimmy (because I called it early on!)

@Sunsy Pollyanna is my favorite Disney film ever.

TIL Warner Brothers is making a Funko Pop movie:

Never bothered collecting those things, but man, this sounds like The Emoji Movie all over again. I get that there's The Lego Movie, but that film at least had the excuse of being about the creative spirit you have when building Lego blocks into anything you could imagine. Funko Pop, AFAIK, are literally corporate merchandise meant to promote Hollywood films (none of which I became interested in), so I couldn't really see any way how you could squeeze a unique and creative plot out of such a film concept. Honestly, Hollywood movies might as well just be commercials these days. When are we going to get The Walmart Movie? Or how about Too Ford Too Furious to promote Ford cars? Battleship... oh never mind, we already got that one, and it's terrible.

God, I hate that. That's why I don't watch Dreamworks cartoons. Why can't you just focus on telling a good story like Pixar?

@Link-Hero
Lol, I never understood the appeal of Funko Pops either.
They're cheaply made, mass produced figures that all look the same. I don't get it.

@Maxenmus
He-Man was a TV show (and pretty bad film) which was created so that they could sell the toys, I dont see how this Funko Movie would be any different.

@Mioainios But I also agree that they are just pieces of plastic ready for the landfill when we are supposed to be moving away from the damage that plastic creates

@Bunkerneath
Maybe people should stop making movies just for the sake of selling stuff then, and you know, make them for the purpose of telling a genuinely good story. It's a shocking and wild idea, I know, but I'm just spitballing here.

Also, I never liked He-Man.

@Kermit1 I can see why too, it was such a sweet movie. Polyanna brought out the good in everyone.

I kind of disagree with this, IMHO, I think it varies on the characters. For example, I have a Funko Pop of Smurfette from Smurfs and Poppy from Trolls, and the looks actually work in well with their characters. However, I've seen some based on something like Sonic, and I have to ask "why?" Especially since the eyes are really big and looks off to me.

Also, I really can't see what kind of movie Funko Pops can have unless it's like a crossover since they're all based off most movies and shows.

Side note, I miss the days when Funko made accurate figures. I have some of the old My Little Pony collectable figures, and they looked just like the show. I don't hate Pops when they work for characters.
