What do you guys think about western animation?
The Ed Edd N Eddy movie was amazing
>Western animation
...what Western Animation? Except for a handful of Disney full-length animated movies, (aesthetically pleasing) Western animation is practically non-existant.
Western kiddy cartoons, such as the already mentioned Doug, Red and Stimpy, Rocko, Adventure Time, Simpsons, etc., are completely dialog-driven and rely on a 22-minute barrage of jokes to hold the viewer's attention and are completely devoid of any aesthetic value. The characters are so completely stylized that they lack any resemblance to living beings; they are grotesque concatenations of geometric shapes more than anything.
In anime, a human actually looks like a human and that's what's important to me. I can't stand Western animation because all modern cartoons are pretty much comedies and I want to appreciate the artstyle and not the plays on words. If I wanted to appreciate dialog I'd read a novel or a play.
BOB's BURGERS is fun...
The She-Ra reboot is pretty good
>>18 I very much disagree.
Especially during the late 90s there were some very good series with complex plot and realistic art styles like the Spider-Man and X-Men cartoons of the time — Cargoyles also comes to mind as a rather complicated series.
It was animated in a realistic way with well-proportioned characters and the characters were complicated. I loved Xanatos as a “villain”, who, by design did not believe in revenge and treated villainly like “simply business, nothing personal”.
Plenty of so-called “anime” also uses nonrealistic proportions.
In terms of children's cartoons I think we were spoiled by Avatar the Last Airbender. Every one I've watched afterwards is not as good.
What about SpongeBob?

I thought that My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic had a decent run. The brony subculture is long since over but the early seasons are pretty good, I thought. They were just good, fun stories in a fantasy land though it really lost steam in the final few seasons.
Well now that it is all over what did you guys think of the Star Wars sequels? I hated them and in my opinion they make the prequels look better.
I never got why the I–III was supposedly worse than IV–VI — I thought it was better.
Rather, I felt that the new trilogy went back to the first one with many of it's flaws. At least the second trilogy had a somewhat interesting political narrative going on, in showing how much the republic was failing under it's own weight and how it's fall was partly caused by the dogmatic Jedi who failed to see what was onder their noses.

Do we ever get to see captain Phasma's?!?
star wars sucks. fuck you nerds

It would've been cool for me if the dialog was more refined. Or if the cinematography was better. It's either boring with long dialog scenes where they're only walking and talking. That or completely bizarre like any scene involving Anakin.
Well i mean that was kinda the point. Qui-Gon-Jinn was the last true jedi and the jedi during the prequel era had lost their way and got caught up in politics also jedi are somewhat based off of monks i believe. George Lucas is great at world building coming up with new ideas but he needs help with writing and story which is why i think the prequels have a lot of great ideas but lack in good execution. But lets be honest they are still better than the new Disney movies that is for sure.

INSTANT REVIEW : Closer
A movie about 4 people who know how to cheat on each other.
Natalie Portman still sucks at acting.
>>488
Tons. As always. A lot of spaceship battles take place in atmosphere in this one though, so that might be the ONE thing about this movie that makes sense! I found one! I found one!
INSTANT REVIEW: 1917 (2019) (3/5)
Scenic tour of the western front
INSTANT REVIEW: Dead Within (2014) (2/5)
An extremely low-rent zombie apocalypse piece that mostly takes place in the formerly fashionable summer home of former yuppies. Now they're just crazed survivors like all who remain living. The best bits of this movie involve the poor selection of food/drink available to them six months later.
INSTANT REVIEW: The Water Diviner (2015) (3/5)
Russell Crowe's character goes looking for his dead sons in Gallipoli in 1919 using his divining powers, because that's real. He and his dead kids keep getting in the way of the real hero of the story: a grizzled Turkish officer who has a lot to say about those filthy Aussies invading his country.
INSTANT REVIEW: Pulgasari (2/5)
The North Korean answer to Godzilla. A lot of things got hurt by this project: actors, livestock, and the kaiju genre to name a few. Appears to star the Korean People's Army for some epic medieval battle scenes. Not against the monster, though. He's hardly in it.
INSTANT REVIEW: Nemesis (1992) (2.5/5)
It's about some good cyborgs battling evil cyborgs in the near future. Everyone is a heavily armored robot, so they take a lot of hits to go down. Their battles are completely ridiculous and involve aircraft cannons eventually. It's not good, but it's not boring.

Sorry phaggots, but you will never watch another capeshit movie again because of coronavirus. TV/film production all halted and all theaters closed. After this drags on for months/years there will be no theaters left.
it's over, time to pick up a book. or do like me and watch some classics because only garbage is made these days anyways.
You underestimate the shittaste of the capfag. HBOMAX is going to get a massive boost from dummies subbing just to watch the Synder Cut. All streaming services have to do is basically bring back DVD extras as premium content and trash taste will be saved.

Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston
Hi everyone!
I’m so happy that I could finally find this thread again. I’m hoping that everyone is wearing masks, socially distancing and keeping safe. I’ve missed chatting w you all, so much. Btw, Tom was seen at the veterinarian’s office the other day w his puppy Bobby, who accidentally swallowed a raisin and had to have his stomach pumped. He took a pic at the office. And of course everyone is swearing that Zawe Ashton was with him outside the office, b/c you could see a black slide shoe that she wears in the photo. That pic was harder to find though. I also saw a link promoting The Night Manager 2. I hope that series finds a way to come together.

Here is The Night Manger 2, PR.
And Tom just did a new UNICEF Ambassador Covid update, video.
https://video.h5.weibo.cn/1034:4526050374254598/4526053576710979
>>19 Welcome back! And thanks for the tidbits - I haven't been looking around much during the lockdown.
I looked at the Facebook page of the veterinary tech who originally posted about Bobby, and she's in or near Atlanta. So the theory that he stayed there after Loki had to stop filming seems to be correct.
>>20 Not placing much faith in that Night Mgr 2 news - it looks rehashed. OTOH, the shutdown will give the writers more time to work on it, since productions may be backed up for quite some time.
>>21 It's nice to see him working with UNICEF again, after he stopped doing so after the GG speech.
Did anyone watch the Coriolanus broadcast? If so, what did you think?
Has this been posted? I've been off the TH wagon for so long that I don't know.
Odd what you find when looking for illegal videos of UK tv shows online!
Honestly I'll just give myself a light pat down. HONESTLY.
>>19 You misspelled her name. It's spelled JArthy. I'll accept no other.
>>23 I didn't. Any good tidbits?
I hope everyone is doing well. We're back to normality: MIL and FIL have left and hubs has returned. I was nearing my breaking point with that situation!
>>26 "Flossing"!
JArthy - sure you didn't mean EO?
Coriolanus broadcast was good, but I think I'd get more out of it after a second viewing. TH spoke very rapidly and was sometimes hard to understand (in fairness, this was the first time I'd seen this play). The role made great use of his physicality and his ability to play unpleasant characters. (I kept feeling bits of Loki, but that also shows how much TH and Branagh pulled from Shakespeare for the first Thor film.)
I only caught bits of the live commentary with Josie Rourke and various cast members (including TH). Some of it is shown in one of Marvel's "Cast During Quarantine" vids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFui9ndq6l0&t=226s (TH's part is at the beginning).
Glad you are finally free of the ILs and that the hubster is back! I can only imagine what your life has been like....

Is it worth it to go see the rise of skywalker? I've heard it's pretty bad and I'm not expecting much. Is there anything about it that's worth seeing?
Please share your opinions.
> Is there anything about it that's worth seeing?
the increasingly triggered SJWs as its box office gross rises
No. It's the dumbest possible movie they could've made. You would be wasting your time if you go see this.
But do we finally get to see captain Phasma's face or not?!?

The ending of Future once again had a lot of cliff hangers. But on the positive side, kaiju Steven is hot and I want to be trapped underneath his (presumably) big pink chode
They probably want to leave it open to some sort of continuation. Contrary to popular belief, the show's been a pretty big hit for CN, and they want to milk it for all it's worth.
Also, hard agree on kaiju steven.
It's disappointing that their 100th episode renounced guns and revolution, alienating leftist fans and whittled its fanbase down to pacifist liberals.

A bit of non-Loki news that I haven’t seen elsewhere. Tom will be one of the readers in a new audiobook series called “Letters of Note,” which is somewhat related to the Letters Live performance he did. https://www.thebookseller.com/news/canongate-launch-audio-editions-letters-note-1193872
