Re: Golden globe animated movie nods 2025
Yeah…and I finally ran Elio the night before last, already having bought the disc but ending up on D+, and what a lame movie! So,so, soooooo derivative of so, so soooooo many other things. Every element — characters, dynamics, designs, situations, dialogue, plot, music — were so rote and/or predictable. Glad I didn’t power up the proj for this and could make do with the D+ stream. It wasn't "bad", but it wasn’t really anything either.
Again, it got an award nod because Pixar, and it would prove this category doesn’t get watched properly if it actually won, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Zootopia got it just because the voters have heard or — shudder — actually seen it…!
Which got me thinking back to when Pixar really was Pixar and, you know, I really think it was as much as ten years ago and Inside Out in 2015! Okay, sure, there have been a couple of bright spots — Coco, maybe Toy Story 4 and Soul, as esoteric as it is — but even those were five or more years ago and not the heights of what Pixar was. Maybe that’s also why we’re getting another Coco which, as "good" as it may be, is still another sequel title. And it’s not a Disney thing, as they had a good run under Lasseter for ten years before he went. It’s not even to do with him either, because he left in 2018, after the films had started to falter and before a bunch came out that he would have greenlit. I can only surmise that with so many competitors, Pixar is just going to struggle as much as any of them: "if everyone is special, then no-one is" has never been more true…

I see Zootopia 2 winning, but I'm not excited about any of this year's films.
So, Ben bought a disc, and didn't watch it out of spite? That's messed up.

I really don’t know where you got THAT from!!?!???
Re: Golden globe animated movie nods 2025
Elio. You bought the disc, but watched it on D+ instead, because it didn't "deserve" a projector showing. Thought that was funny.
Re: Golden globe animated movie nods 2025
Well, I did buy the disc to watch it on the proj, and had eventually intended to, but when I had time the other night, it was just easier to play it on D+. Halfway through, I was glad I hadn’t really powered it up, for what it was.
"Spite" had nothing to do with it! I just thought that was a weird thing to say, as it implied a negative spin when I had actively bought the disc intending to watch and only, as I said, "ended up" on D+ as it was more convenient given the time and situation I was in at the time. Nothing like "ha, you mean movie, I’m only going to watch you on D+ because you're not good enough for my big screen…AND here's the disc (showings it at my D+ screen) I’ll never watch, mmmaaahhhhhhaaahahahahaa….!"

Y'see, that's exactly what I pictured in my mind.
