Reply to comment by editordeb87 in Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022) by Huevos___Rancheros
The way that you replied to my comment absolutely acts as if that was the argument I was making.
Del Toro actually talked about how the audience includes children, it’s just not a “babysitter”movie that offers no value to adults. You’re misinterpreting what he said. If kids weren’t the audience here, the PG adaptation of one of the most famous childrens stories ever would not handle its subject matter the way that it does, (including watering down the war and fascism so that it’s palatable to them). Insisting that kids movies are actually for adults and not suitable at all just devalues animations potential as an adult medium to the people who don’t think it is.
It’s a real shame that on the rare occasions kids get a genuinely good movie that seeks to teach them valuable lessons, you wouldn’t recommend them to watch it, and not thinking it’s suitable to kids shows an incredibly blatant misunderstanding of the material and it’s suitability since the director has said he made it palatable for them.

I'm not familiar with UK ratings, however, the original Night of the Living Dead is a pretty good welcoming to the genre. It's pretty tame by todays standards.

French Cinema exists in part because France is similarly protecting its movie industry.

Reply to What year did movies start to incorporate "post-credit" / "stinger" / "credit cookie" bonus scenes during/after the credits coming on? by Boston_Baked
In The Muppet Movie (1979), after the credits, Animal yells at the audience to go home.

That's the goal, but that's usually not what ends up happening.
Usually, streaming services will just reduce the amount of American content available until the local content hits the quota

Reply to comment by Zarguthian in I just watched Django Unchained and am a bit unclear on a few details, please help me out. by Zarguthian
I have no idea what you’re asking, regarding the guns. They were armed because they’re bounty hunters traveling across dangerous country. They were disarmed when Candie discovered their deception. Schulz had a hidden gun and used it. Where’s the confusion?
And calling someone the lowest of the low is a moral judgment and not at all a statement about their place in a professional hierarchy.

Nope just factual
Talent is only allowed to stay on if they’re making big hits
Otherwise you only stay in the industry if you make politically correct nonsense and/or kiss producers asses

I used to watch that but it annoyed me quite a bit, especially the roll credits thing which I have struggled and failed to find a reason for as to why that is a sin and why it is "roll credits", my best guess is that sometimes it's said right at the end of a film or soon after it starts with opening credits but that's very rarely the case.

If that's your view then maybe you shouldn't be on this subreddit, no shade, just saying.

Reply to Positive family representation in movies? by tasfa10
Shazam and Instant Family.
Although they focus on foster families, it showed how being patient and supportive isn't always easy with teens and kids. I love the 2 perspectives they showed and the challenges it has with dealing with kids that aren't your own.

Ah, right, yeah I agree with that. Now that you mention it I think it was said that a black slave trader (Django's role) was called lowest of the low too.
