Hello. Have you watched Guardian of the Moon?

Yes I have. Multiple times. It is one of those films I hold close to my heart, thanks to its animation, character designs, aesthetic etc.

It is also partially the reason why I got interested in animation, concept art and anything relating to visual art.

idk it's a small thing but that ending scene of nimona has my whole heart. he hears the pounding at the door and the way he gets there is i'm pretty sure nimona's style of movement?? grabbing the chain and swinging over the sofa?? and then of-hecking-course he knows!! when he opens the door and no one's there!!! he knows!!! she's back and AUGHHHHHH

This is not a movie - this is real madness

(my edit)

Yeah this pretty much sums up the experience of watching The Taking of Deborah Logan.

movies are so fucking good these days. action movies are at an unparalleled level of choreographical mastery, and animated movies are more diverse and heartfelt and genuinely gorgeous and stylized than they’ve ever been. horror movies are more introspective and hauntingly beautiful, or nasty, shocking and sexy OR hilariously hammy and unapologetic. i genuinely think that the hollywood tradition of hiring nepotism babies as script writers might be coming to an end as the internet’s word of mouth hype forces execs to hire better staff if they want to survive amongst smaller studios literally redefining genres. We get more directors, screenwriters, and studios filled with people with a genuine passion for their craft than ever before, yknow? and as we hurtle closer to the darkest times we’ve ever lived through the art of cinema is just getting better and better. i love u movies

Freaks- Masterpiece by Tod Browning -1932- full movie in five parts - from my personal archive

Since 1932 when the movie came into the cinemas there was a lot of criticism about this movie the movie is not at all exploitative but the contrary:" progressive" and "empathetic" Maybe a lot of people at the time were a not ready for it. Today it's seen by most people as a real work of art, but there are still narrow minded people, as always I saw it several times in different periods and did not read anything about it, because I didn't want to be be influenced, I did and do really love it ❤

My Pinterest has the full movie from my personal archive in five parts, because I can only put 15 minutes for each part.

But the whole movie is there.

Couldn't put it here.

a couple of letterbox reviews of The Water Babies (1978) that mention my main man Terrance

I hope Elon Musk ends up like Howard Hughes broke in his 70s living alone in 3rd rate hotels and filthy

As long as no one makes a movie about him that’s as good (or as historically cherry-picked) as The Aviator.

Just watched The Muppet Movie (1979) for the first time and it was so good!!!

A little obsessed with the "utterly burnt out & can't quite figure out how to make it work in this economy" depiction of Mario in the concept art.

Look at him. He's so tired.

i don’t know what’s funnier: spidernoir and spider-ham being invited to the spider society and them turning it down, or just straight up not being invited to join lmao

Pop culture reduces It's a Wonderful Life to that last half hour, and thinks the whole thing is about this guy traveling to an alternate universe where he doesn't exist and a little girl saying, "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings." A hokey, sugary fantasy. A light and fluffy story fit for Hallmark movies.

But this reading completely glosses over the fact that George Bailey is actively suicidal. He's not just standing there moping about, "My friends don't like me," like some characters do in shows that try to adapt this conceit to other settings. George's life has been destroyed. He's bankrupt and facing prison. The lifetime of struggle we've been watching for the last two hours has accomplished nothing but this crushing defeat, and he honestly believes that the best thing he can do is kill himself because he's worth more dead than alive. He would have thrown himself from a bridge had an actual angel from heaven not intervened at the last possible moment.

That's dark. The banker villain that pop culture reduces to a cartoon purposely drove a man to the brink of suicide, which only a miracle pulled him back from. And then George Bailey goes even deeper into despair. He not only believes that his future's not worth living, but that his past wasn't worth living. He thinks that every suffering he endured, every piece of good that he tried to do was not only pointless, but actively harmful, and he and the world would be better off if he had never existed at all.

This is the context that leads to the famed alternate universe of a million pastiches, and it's absolutely vital to understanding the world that George finds. It's there to specifically show him that his despondent views about his effect on the universe are wrong. His bum ear kept him from serving his country in the war--but the act that gave him that injury was what allowed his brother to grow up to become a war hero. His fight against Potter's domination of the town felt like useless tiny battles in a war that could never be won--but it turns out that even the act of fighting was enough to save the town from falling into hopeless slavery. He thought that if it weren't for him, his wife would have married Sam Wainwright and had a life of ease and luxury as a millionaire's wife, instead of suffering a painful life of penny-pinching with him. Finding out that she'd have been a spinster isn't, "Ha ha, she'd have been pathetic without you." It's showing him that she never loved Wainwright enough to marry him, and that George's existence didn't stop her from having a happier life, but saved her from having a sadder one. Everywhere he turns, he finds out that his existence wasn't a mistake, that his struggles and sufferings did accomplish something, that his painful existence wasn't a tragedy but a gift to the people around him.

Only when he realizes this does he get to come back home in wild joy over the gift of his existence. The scenes of hope and joy and love only exist because of the two hours of struggle and despair that came before. Even Zuzu's saccharine line about bells and angel wings exists, not as a sugary proverb, but as a climax to Clarence's story--showing that even George's despair had good effect, and that his newfound thankfulness for life causes not only earthly, but heavenly joy.

If this movie has light and hope, it's not because it exists in some fantasy world where everything is sunshine and rainbows, but because it fights tooth and nail to scrape every bit of hope it can from our all too dark and painful world. The light here exists, not because it ignores the dark, but because the dark makes light more precious and meaningful. The light exists in defiance of the dark, the hope in defiance of despair, and there is nothing saccharine about that. It's just about as realistic as it gets.

I truly genuinely believe they would get along so well
