I got nothing against B movies. Shit Terrifier 2 was better than any of the acclaimed horror movies last year like Barbarian or Smile. I don’t mind Zahler having that B movie quality because his writing and worldbuilding is better than practically any studio director working today.
And I love Malick as well, particularly his 2000s era. The new world and Thin Red Line are two of my favorite movies oat. I don’t mind rewatching slower and longer movies but in general I’m not much into rewatching movies like I used to. There’s just so much new stuff to always watch.

Elvis is on there? Really? That makes it kind of insulting that it wasn't nominated. Not surprising though considering it's technically an animated movie, and the Oscars are still awful at recognizing animated movies.

Pinocchio doesn’t become immortal again after Sebastian uses his wish on him, if he were to get shot he’d be dead for good but for him to die naturally it will take a while since he’s made of wood.

I highly recommend watching Old Henry and True Grit (new one) also without watching trailers.

You guys know that Disney didn't make Pinocchio right? The Disney film isn't the original. We used to read it at school in Italy

I almost cried after watching. It’s not just an animation for kids, but a story of friendship, love and peace that resonates with adults too. The themes of anti-war and “YOLO” are the most impressive compared to the other Pinocchio adaptations

This is how they made R2D2.

Reply to comment by Psychological-Rub-72 in What year did movies start to incorporate "post-credit" / "stinger" / "credit cookie" bonus scenes during/after the credits coming on? by Boston_Baked
That’s the first one I remember (we always watched credits for credits sake — my dad still does and so do I). The second is from The Great Muppet Caper. Gonzo comes back on after the credits with his camera, says “Say cheese!” and takes a picture. Then as he fades out, he says, “I’ll send you each a copy!”

How is it right wing to acknowledge that PTA and Gray keep getting work despite losing their studios tens of millions of dollars every film? I think it’s you who has to ask yourself why that is the case and why Hollywood works the way it does.

The cyberpunk masterpiece ,Super Mario Bros., had an after credits stinger with Spike and Iggy trying to sell the rights to their adventures.

I honestly didn’t like it. I was very excited and thought the film looked beautiful. But it all seemed way too simple for me. The character development just happened without any reason. Gepetto was a grumpy guy, missing his son and treating Pinocchio badly. Then he gets kidnapped and all is a sudden he loves him.
Pinocchio is an absolute twat. Ungrateful, selfishC etc. So like any child. Suddenly, he gets a heart of gold. Oh, and he loves his father.
Cricket? Same. Hasn’t seen Pinocchio all film. Suddenly loves him and gives up his one and only wish.
The film is full of these examples where characters act a certain way because the movie’s plot requires it, but it just comes out of nowhere. The songs are also relatively meh and I really didn’t like Pinocchio’s design, which looked more like a horrifying Digimon (anybody who watched the show, knows the one).
I still think it looked beautiful and the setting was amazing, but for me it was all form and no substance. But that’s just me, and I’m happy the majority seemed to absolutely love this film.

The S'More thing.... they were too passive.
I feel like I am missing something I might understand on a rewatch.
He said to them, 'You should have fought back! You might have won!' and then they sat all passive for the S'more thing.

Bro come on, you can’t say you’re not being insecure about pretending it’s not made for kids, and then make a completely disingenuous rebuttal pretending I said something completely different and change the framing of the topic completely.
I never said animation is just for children, I literally did not claim that at all. I said Pinocchio is a kids film, which it is. It’s in the kids section of Netflix. It makes huge strides and effort to make itself palatable to children, and hold their hands throughout the entire thing story-wise. The entire purpose of how it presents itself thematically is to ensure that the children watching it get the point and take on the valuable lessons it has.
Adults can enjoy animation while also acknowledging that a film is made for children. It’s embarrassing that every time a kids film comes along that treats children with a bit of respect, grown adults like you have to pretend it’s not actually aimed at kids at all. If you want people who don’t respect animation to realise it can be for adults, actually champion animated films aimed at adults, instead of pretending films made for kids aren’t for kids, it’s not helping.

I did like the Canadian content rules when I lived there for radio programming. I got introduced to stuff I never would have heard otherwise.

You just need to watch the many serious roles he has done throughout his career then you won't need to picture it.

Couple years ago was thinking of this movie but couldn't think of the title. All I recall was Kiefer was riding in a train. He had an overnight room. Feel like watching this again.
