Well, everybody raved about The Worst Person In The World, and so my dad ended up buying a Blu-Ray so we could watch the damn thing. It was borderline torturously boring, but that was just us. Probably gonna be the same with EEAAO. Just gonna say "Fuck it!", and just watch it. (Available for free on streaming here, so...)

>This Summer, meet the residents of Element City

>Watch the new trailer for Disney and Pixar’s #Elemental and see the movie in 3D, only in theaters June 16!

>Check out a brand-new trailer for Disney and Pixar’s “Elemental,” an all-new original feature film that transports moviegoers to an extraordinary place called Element City, where a host of elements live and work. The trailer showcases each element—air, earth, water and fire—and what sets them apart according to Ember, a quick-witted and fiery woman who’s always stayed close to home in Firetown. In “Elemental,” which opens in theaters on June 16, she finally ventures out of her comfort zone to explore this spectacular world born from the imaginations of Pixar’s filmmakers and specifically crafted for the big-screen experience. Element City is inspired by big cities around the globe and embraces theorized contributions from each elemental community—from giant pine-tree-like buildings and waterfall skyscrapers to a tornado-shaped arena called Cyclone Stadium.

>Joining the previously announced voice cast including Leah Lewis and Mamoudou Athie as Ember and Wade, respectively, are Ronnie del Carmen as Ember’s soon-to-be retired dad, Bernie; Shila Ommi as Ember’s love-seeking mom, Cinder; Wendi McLendon-Covey as Wade’s stormy and Air-Ball-loving boss, Gale; Catherine O’Hara as Wade’s welcoming mom, Brook; Mason Wertheimer as Ember’s admiring earth neighbor, Clod; and Joe Pera as an overgrown city bureaucrat, Fern.

>Directed by Peter Sohn, produced by Denise Ream, p.g.a., and executive produced by Pete Docter, “Elemental” features a screenplay by John Hoberg & Kat Likkel and Brenda Hsueh with story by Sohn, Hoberg & Likkel and Hsueh. The film’s original score was composed and conducted by Thomas Newman.

Got to hear that live at a fantasy music concert. Majestic.

Can you fly, Bobby?

Addams Family Values.

Most of them. My parentes have watched The Crown, and were Downton Abbey fans, but that’s all I know. I plan on starting Stranger Things in a week.

He removed 10 frames total, a second has 24, so 5/12.

For dumbasses, he removed right inbetween ⅓ and ¼ of a second.

I said it in a previous discussion a couple days ago, but the cuts were definitely microscopic. Martin Scorsese literally removed 5/12 of a seconds from Goodfellas for an R. That much.

Infinity Pool's NC-17 was for "some graphic violence and sexual content". The R? "Graphic violence, disturbing material, strong sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use, and some language."

Further supporting this: The rating in Norway is an 18, the equivalent of an NC-17. And it's been rated as such for having "several strong depictions of drug abuse, sex, violence, and murder", with some of the murder depictions being "so close and grotesque" it rewards it an 18.

A lot of the Pixar movies have additional stuff during, between, or after the credits. Cars and Toy Story 3 & 4 have various epilogue scenes during the credits, and most of the Pixar movies from Brave to Lightyear have post credits scenes. (Usually something funny.)

Lightyear had 3 credits scenes. Two joke punchlines (mid and post credits), and a sequel tease literally after the entire movie is done. (After the credits and logos.)

Double that.

Temple of Doom is PG. It, along with the Spielberg produced Gremlins, was so intense and violent (take a wild guess which scene people brought up) Spielberg proposed the PG-13 to the MPAA, as Temple of Doom and Gremlins were too strong for a PG but too light for an R. They're both PG.

My parents somehow let me watch Angels & Demons on TV, which, even with some trims for a PG-13, has...

• A cardinal hanging over a fireplace.
• A cardinal getting his lungs punctured by branding.
• The cardinal drowning in the fountain.
• And finally, the The Camerlengo immolating himself.

I was like 6, 7 or 8, and I was somehow not traumatized and scarred for life.

Actually a pretty good movie. The Da Vinci Code is OK, and I Inferno was... URGH! I could not understand what was even happening because the movie has constant handheld shakey cam during the action scenes. By the time we reached the climax, here and here if you even care, I had literally stopped caring and just wanted it to end. My mom hated the movie because the plot is about a virus that'll be released, and we watched it during the start of Covid. My dad was indifferent like he tends to be.

Also, fun little story about my mom: When she was about a teen, her dad had an 8mm projector, and film rolls that were 20-ish minute long trims of movies like Superman (this was probably her favourite), The Wizard of Oz, and others. Long story short, she knew how to put in the film and all that, so she snuck up on his room to a box of unlabeled rolls, grabbed one, and prepped it. To her horror it was a scene involving Sigourney Weaver and a chestburster.

For about 25 years she didn't know if it was Alien or Aliens. So when we watched both of them, Alien one weekend and Aliens the next, we got the answer. It was Aliens.

Do you, do you have a confirmation on that banned guy?

I think I've seen somewhere that it is.

Nolan's movies and Nope have 1:9:1/1:78:1 on Blu-Ray.

Well, for one, David Zaslov has kind of already answered this question, by effectively killing off and cutting (down) a bajillion projects. And any movie with money potential gets into theaters. Things like A Christmas Story Story, which literally spawned out of nowhere, aren't exactly big enough to get butts in seats. Evil Dead Rise on the other hand, will. A recognizable name, horror and blood hounds will love it, and it's a horror movie, so it doesn't cost a whole lot. And given it was switched from a HBO Max release to theaters, presumably due to highly positive results from test screenings, you could see it be a hit.

DC is already a mixed bag (Black Adam's numbers have been less than impressive), but given two sequels to two successful DC movies, those two will be easy cash. (The Flash, in spite of Zaslov and test audiences being highly positive, will either be a hit or historical flop because of you know why.)

Top Gun: Maverick in 4DX. Boom.

Avatar rerelease, once again in 4DX. Even got two free tickets from the screening.

Nope, completely alone in the big ass auditorium.

Probably because the two movies were released in November around now. (And maybe a little nod towards that glorious playhem.)

The animated ones were (early) October. I'll admit, I saw the first one, and found it perfectly enjoyable.

Plus creepy and kooky.

It's about Wednesday. From what I can tell, Gomez, Morticia, and Pugsley are really only in the first episode, as is Lurch. Fester also seems to have a minor role. Thing pops up once in a while.
