I’ve been on an X-Men kick lately with two marathons. Been revisiting all the films (and some other Fox Marvel films) in prep for Deadpool & Wolverine. And I’ve been catching up on X-Men: The Animated Series because of all the amazing things I’ve been hearing about X-Men ‘97.

Changes are a part of the creative process, not just in animation or filmmaking, it’s part of making art. Your initial idea won’t always stay as is in the final product. It’s going to evolve with time as things get added, changed, or removed entirely. It’s how all films are made.

Going back to Shame, they got cut not because of cowering out from a mature story, but because it wasn’t fun. That’s something people on here are missing. At the end of the day, these are FAMILY films. If it’s not fun for anyone, whether for kids or adults, then it’s not working.

There’s a lot of reasons why a scene, character, concept or story would be cut, and that’s part of the filmmaking process. It could be budgetary, pushback from the crew, execs, or test audiences, or simply that the story doesn’t work with that idea in it.

I know a lot of people, myself included, are fascinated by the idea of “what if?” Whether it’s a deleted scene, concept art, or an entire film that got scrapped, it’s fascinating to imagine what could’ve been had it been fully realized, but wasn’t meant to be.

The song would’ve been in this deleted scene when Sabino sings it after Asha recovers his wish. This is a heartfelt scene with a beautiful song to go with it. It would’ve helped the pacing between Asha recovering his wish and Magnifico storming their house not feel so rushed.

During Wish’s development, they developed the idea of making Star a magical human and potential love interest for Asha, or that the Queen was going to be a villain alongside King Magnifico. These could’ve been neat ideas, but it’s not our choice because we’re not the filmmakers.

@NeilNevins I guess to some parents, anything that’s not R is “family friendly”. The whole purpose of PG-13 was a middle ground for films with material not hard enough for an R, but stronger than a PG and is recommended more for older kids. James Gunn really made the most of that PG-13 in 3.

I was blown away by #TheBoyAndTheHeron ! Not only another stunning and thought provoking film from Studio Ghibli, but also one of Hayao Miyazaki’s most complex and personal films. The dub cast is perfect with an unrecognizable Robert Pattinson being a standout. One of 2023’s best.

I quickly got tired of people acting like DreamWorks was on some divine comeback and Disney was falling off because DW had a year where they put out two great films that many preferred more, since I always knew they’re all over the place. No studio has a perfect track record.

The final lineup is a massive hodgepodge. Some are awesome (James Gunn’s Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, Wonder Woman, Shazam), some underrated (Birds of Prey, Blue Beetle), some good fun (Aquaman, Shazam 2), some fascinating mixed bags (ZSJL, WW1984), and a lot of misguided choices.

Talking about Wish makes me tired. Dislike it if you want, but a lot of the hate is so obsessive, vitriolic and insulting to the crew. I don’t have the energy anymore to deal with having a million swords pointed at me for saying “it’s fine” or “I liked it”.

#Argylle is a silly fun guilty pleasure. Has the ridiculous action you’d expect from Matthew Vaughn (that skating scene is gold) even in a PG-13. A fun ensemble, especially Bryce Dallas Howard and Sam Rockwell are a great pair. And thankfully, Sam does dance in this.

Got to check something off my bucket list to see The Room in a theater. That was one of the greatest experiences of my life! Here’s some highlights from some of the best scenes. 10/10, would do again any time it plays to throw some spoons. Happy 20th anniversary!

But at the end of the day, I think DC’s future is brighter and more hopeful than ever in the hands of James Gunn & Peter Safran. Gunn has made my favorite superhero movie trilogy and the best projects of the DCEU. He knows what makes a great story that connects with audiences.

#KungFuPanda4 is really fun! The action sequences are as awesome as ever, plenty of laugh out loud moments and some fun new characters. I can’t help but love Awkwafina in anything she’s in, so I already love Zhen. Good to have these films back and all I can say is SKABLAM!

There are parts of the DCEU I’m sad to see go like some of the cast, and others I’m glad to be free from like most of Snyder’s choices (and his delusional fanbase that’ll never move on) and not having to see Jared Leto or Ezra Miller in these movies ever again.

Both of these are beneficial, especially that second one. I hated that trend from the start. It’s CGI necromancy. Even ones done with the family’s consent like CG Harold Ramis in Ghostbusters: Afterlife are as uncomfortable as The Flash’s. It’s creepy, unnatural, absolutely evil.

#NoTimeToDie was incredible! A thrilling, action packed and satisfying conclusion to Daniel Craig’s legacy as 007. Cast is phenomenal with Craig, Malek, de Armas, Lynch, Wright and Waltz being standouts. It’s on par with Casino Royale and Skyfall and one of the best of the year.

Then again, there is a part of me that doesn’t want to get my hopes up since all of it could get canned if David Zaslav wants another tax write-off and makes sure no self-respecting filmmaker ever pitches their film to Warner Bros.

@Saberspark I’d say Pixar never really “fell off” and more people’s standards have changed. Other studios wished they had a legendary run like 2000s Pixar and that set everybody with a stupidly high standard that anything less than perfect is bad. At least there’s been more originals lately.

Damn, this stings. Carl Weathers was always great to see on screen. Many remember him best in Rocky, Predator, Happy Gilmore, and The Mandalorian, but I’ll always remember him as Combat Carl in the Toy Story Halloween special Toy Story of Terror, and he made a cameo in 4.

Good. If this isn’t finally the big boot to the ass to get Zaslav out, then I don’t know what is. After what happened with Batgirl, Scoob Holiday Haunt, and Coyote vs. Acme, I’d never want to make a film with Warner Bros. knowing that all my work could become a tax write-off.

We’ve been having this discussion since 2011. 12 years of this now. It’s just gone from “too many sequels” to “their films aren’t catering to MY tastes” and making it a box office = quality narrative, and too many misconceptions to name.

What's funny about all these discussions of "Pixar is losing their touch" is that we literally had this same discussion back in the 2010s. Of course, everyone forgot about that because they're only panicking from what they see on the surface.

All she said was that the animated film scared her as a child and describing what their take of the remake is. I’m 100% sure they never cared about Snow White for a moment in their lives until the chance to harass a young actress of color came up.

“Their films are cheap” $70-90 million is still a lot of money to put into a movie. It’s not Disney/Pixar levels, but why is Illumination singled out when Sony and recently DreamWorks have their budgets in the same range? Mario was their first with a 9 digit budget at $100 mil.

With all of the rampant review bombing recently towards Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ms. Marvel, and now Lightyear, it might be for the best to get rid of user reviews/audience scores all together. IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, get rid of it all. Except Letterboxd, that can stay.
