Topic: Movie thread.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Omg klaus don’t even get me started that movie was so good! It was giving me emperors new groove vibes, despite them not being anything alike. My god that movie, so good! Too good, we didn’t deserve it honestly.

I'll be over here in my corner loving BELLE while you all talk about western animation...

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika It was from a debut director? Omg I can’t wait to see more from them.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika for a company that spends $$$$ they really don't care about what they fund. But at least 6yo will watch Boss Baby 25.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika the parents who want to shut their kids up with cheap safe entertainment.

I will say though some stuff on the kid's side of Netflix (and Disney+) is a little questionable.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I'm talking more like E.T. and Goonies... Those can mess up a 5yo...

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika just imagine being alone (as a 5yo) you click on a movie with a cute-ish alien, and your mother has given you an app with all these movies and told you to stay in the kid's section. You are still in the kid's section and being a good child watching Boss Baby and Baby Shark, you then see E.T. and since it's in the kid's section it must be kid friendly so you watch it alone in an upstairs room. At first, it's fun and somewhat light-hearted, then the friendly alien almost dies and the main character gets tested on by the government.

ET is kinda messed up lol

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika kids do have thick skin.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika The Boss Baby franchise is the most painful thing DreamWorks may have ever given us. It makes Trolls look like Bluey and Shark Tale look like Shrek.

Also don't give Disney credit for Bluey, they simply distributed it to the United States and maybe a few other countries. Great show for kids though and rather enjoyable.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Oooooooooh that’s hype! Oh yeah Klaus is a Christmas classic for me now, it’s amazing.

@Rambler
Lol it's true about Tetsuo and Umbrellas. It just speaks to my cinephile superiority!
Yeah it's the Cassavete's one from 1958. Is there another version?
Do you like cartoons? Then I'd recommend Maya.
What's on your list?

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika have you seen Stardust?

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika you have not lived. It's based on the book by Neil Gaiman (Sandman, Mirror Mask, Good Omens)

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Stardust is like Princess Bride but turned up to an 11. Robert DeNiro wears a dress and sword fights. Stardust has everything.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Also Henry Cavill is in Stardust and he fights Charlie Cox. Daredevil vs Superman, you never knew you wanted it but it happened.

@SlashFuture Michelle Pfeiffer is the villain and she rides a chariot driven by goats. Greatest movie ever.

@SlashFuture while you're at it watch MirrorMask it was made by the same minds as Stardust but it's more "edgy".
