>But damn does this movie feel unfinished or unedited in some way.
I enjoyed the movie but yes that seems like the general consensus. I t's a bit of a mess.

Paired with the title, your meaning was perfectly clear. They’ve gotta be messing with you.

'Canon Ball Run' and 'Smokey and the Bandit' films have bloopers juring the credits.

Reply to Positive family representation in movies? by tasfa10
Not sure if this is the vein of genre you're looking for based on others comments...but "Away We Go" is a beautiful movie about a couple (John Krasinksi and Maya Rudolph) who are expecting but they're trying to find the perfect place to settle down and start a family. More drama than comedy but has an amazing soundtrack and hits pretty deep.

I think it might be an homage to the season 1 cover for Hajime no Ippo, "the fighting".

iirc Jordan is an anime fan and has mentioned Ippo in interviews.

>The exact number becomes less and less relevant as there's a greater total.
The percentage difference becomes less and less relevant as there's a greater total.
1,000,000 - 1,000,000 * ((100-2.66)/100) = 26,600
That is five times the size of the content library that Netflix has. It is an enormous number.
Now, you might argue that with over 900,000 things to watch are you really going to miss 26,600 properties? Obviously not because you wouldn't be able to keep track of everything in the first place. But if you didn't have a single hit show, then you'd miss that.
It is only the absolute numbers that matter because people don't watch the percentages, they watch the absolute numbers.
It's like with elections. A lot of US jurisdictions have automatic recount boundaries. They use numbers like 0.5 percentage points, which is a fifth of the difference we're talking about. The thing is that closeness doesn't scale. An election with a margin of 50 is just as close if 6,000 people voted for the winner as if 600,000 people voted, even though the percentage point difference is (assuming two candidates) 0.41841004 and 0.00416684. More to the point, the chance that the recount is going to change the election depends on the absolute margin, not the percentage point difference.
Percentages and percentage differences aren't always relevant to what you care about.
Consider batting averages. In baseball they're just a percentage. In cricket it really isn't but you could create an analogy... percentage of balls faced which result in runs... but that number is utterly meaningless. Similarly, you might express batting averages as a percentage of the best batting average in the team. This sounds kind of useful until you remember you care about batting averages because it gives you a guide to how likely a player is to help your team beat another team. You could add up the batting averages in your team and the other team and get an idea of which team is favoured (i.e. the one with the highest cumulative total) but not if you used percentages.
You have to choose a measurement that is appropriate for what you're trying to measure. This is called construct validity.

I kinda hated the movie. Character motivation is one of the most important aspects for me to enjoy a story and it was horrendous in the movie. Geppetto HATED Pinocchio and wanted nothing to do with him. He was forced onto him and he didn't care. Then after 2 days of not giving a shit, he uproots his life to search for him after he WILLINGLY left to join a circus, earn money and become famous. That makes no sense from his character point of view and runied the entire movie in mine.

Im not out of touch here, you are completely misunderstanding me and I dont have time to argue with someone on the internet. You are reading into what im saying a lot and putting more value on my words than my itent. I never said that " 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."
What I meant by the when my friends ask if their kids should watch it I mean not alone, depends on the age. There's so much more nuance to what I am saying and you are twisting my words. So im done here. Im telling you while working on it there was no like "were making this for kids" We were making a story for all that parents might need to talk about some of the darker themes with their kids about.
But im not gonna talk with you when you nitpick and twist my words.

>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?
Maybe it's a product of the time, it just seems odd to not disarm yourself or be asked to do so and be refused entry if not when entering certain places, like your host's premises. The only people I woudl expect to have weapons on them in this situation would be Candie's security team/guards.
>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.
I understand that bit now.

one of my favorite animated movies of all time. we all got sick and tired of all the crappy pinocchio movies coming out left and right, but this movie gave us hope. the animation is beyond beautiful, absolute eye candy in every scene. this movie can juggle what seems like many stories at once and do it right. they put a masterful spin on the pinocchio universe and gave us probably the best geppetto we've seen since the original came out. this movie left me wanting more and i hope we do get to see more of that universe.

I didn’t say you said that, I said the argument your making accomplishes that. It might be worth reading the points I’m actually making before saying I’m misunderstanding you.
There is nuance, but you can’t complain I’m missing the nuance in your position when you don’t understand what I’m saying, and making incredibly specific statements that remove and ignore nuance.
You cannot say I’m twisting words, when you tried to reframe my argument as something else, and completely twisted the literal director of the films words to pretend it’s not aimed at or suitable for children, when GDT has said he made sure it accommodated them. A family movie is a kids movie. It’s not a kids movie in the exact same way Paw Patrol is, but it is still one. I’m not sure what capacity you worked on it, but your mindset does not align with the creative mind behind it.
