An animator on the film suggested that the opening sequence where Puss fights the giant may have been inspired by Attack on Titan. Really though, they made a western, and westerns are great plus the setting fits since Puss is basically Zorro except he's a cat and not a fox

I'm torn about wanting more of the movie. I want to see the Wolf and the 3 Bears Crime Family get their own spinoffs but the best thing about the Wolf was how sparsely he was used and the sense of mystery around him. Making him a protagonist would take away from that. Of course, maybe they could give him that story Adler from Beastars, which was about death falling in love with a woman who's soul he has to reap.

Goldie and the Three Bears in a Guy Ritchie style heist comedy where they're completely out of their depth with the level "criming" required for the job would be pretty great though.

The same place RomComs went

Theater tickets are more expensive, people reserve the movie theater for movies that need to be experienced in theaters.

Streaming services could probably make some of these less expensive movies...but at the same time are they going to draw anyone in and make them subscribe? If a show isnt retaining subscribers or obtaining new subs, its a cost with now return for a service.

If streaming services ever evolve into 'heres a service for rom coms, heres a service for family content, heres a service for action' then maybe thered be a place for them...

Studios don't invest in movies like they used to. You may get a small budget film here and there that does ok at the box office and makes good profit in DVD sales but now DVD sales are non existent. If it can't make it at the box office a lot of studios don't want to invest and funnel it into these generic films running on algorithm and animation is cheaper usually.

Thing is I think a lot of people would take a low budget film that doesn't take itself serious and people could enjoy it. Theres this huge live action gap where you get these horrific films that adults die from cringe trying to watch or a 150 million dollar marvel movie. Theres also a huge lack of great comedic actors like your Jim Carey and such to make those movies. Sonic was a great movie that could be enjoyed by all but not bw terrible for adults. So you get these direct to streaming movies or a wannabe blockbuster but very few offerings in-between in a live action format.

It's almost always an annoying gimmick, like shaking chairs and scents. If it's more of an "experience" type thing like Avatar then it makes more sense, but if I'm there to actually enjoy a story then it gets in the way

How did James Cameron turn Titanic 3D, and have it be good? I thought digital 3D sucked because true perspective has to be done with two cameras.

I wouldn't make the odds zero that he actually didn't go out of his way and film Titanic with two cameras. Just to flex.

For a long time the only profitable Sony group was SCE/Playstation. They wouldn't want to add another money pit to their portfolio as they would have to start pumping out content to fill it.

I think it could be a good thing (especially for ourselves), if they just let their content rotate around the streaming platforms.

It was a big flying predator from space, like a floating shelled sea creature with gooey parts inside. It wanted easy access to food like any wild animal hence all the theming and exposition about understanding wild creatures but not projecting human emotions onto them that aren’t there.

Why would anything more be explained when our characters were not given more? We aren’t suppose to know everything about the creature because how could we without an alien David Attenborough narrating all that stuff and ruining the mystery?

I don’t consider it a horror movie, more like those thriller alien encounter films that seemed more prevalent in the 80s. It had a handful of horrifying parts but it’s kind of a mystery / action movie with long periods of buildup.

It’s okay if you didn’t like it, I dont think it needed more explanation tho.
