I had only seen a small part of this movie when I was maybe six, from under the couch. Really fun to revisit as an adult. I enjoyed it legitimately, but it was also dare I say healing to that little kid who was so scared of it. I think what confused and scared me the most as a child was how mean the characters are to each other. And man does this thing deal with DARK themes. Some banger van dyke parks tunes as well.
The human characters constantly have plot realizations out of thin air, and there’s way more ghosts than I was expecting.
This is the only children’s cartoon I know of that nails the whiplash morphing of dream logic. One moment you’re joyfully flying through the air on your bed, then next you’re underwater being chased by a train.
Some people may say Nemo lifts directly from the Wizard of Oz, or The NeverEnding Story. Those people are boring.
Nemo has all the emotional beats of a maudlin, down the middle children’s animated feature of the time, with the bug eyed psychedelia of that dream you kept having as a kid. You know the one.
What a good time at the movies. Saw it in 4DX, which is a gimmick but goofy fun. I don’t think the regal in Astoria’s scent device was working properly, because every smell cue just smelled like lemon pledge.
I can’t and won’t describe what I watched.
Let’s go.
Together apart. 🐈 🐈⬛
Such a cool movie for a perfect album.
This movie rules. A meta Ouroboros-ass cosmic horror about writing with Sam Neil chowing scenery, goopy practical monsters, and a glam rock soundtrack. What’s not to love.
I got to co-work today with one of my favorite pups. 🐶
Still great.
This movie grabs you and doesn’t let go. On the second viewing it all clicks into place. And by “place” I mean “mud”.
I can’t believe it took me this long to see this. A+
In this one the Godzilla is on fire and lights up and is in water. The actor in the suit needs a medal.
Another safdie joint where one asshole burns his life to the ground and everyone yelling. I had a good time.

The models, destruction, and monster suit look amazing. The ending is a wet noodle. The product is pretty fun.

Really nice cinematography, doing wide shots and camera moves that you don’t always see in the human scenes. Also, two caterpillars kick Godzilla's ass with webbing.

In this one, it’s pretty racist.

In this one, the psychic gets turned into a flower monster, and a man in a hard hat gets bonked with a big bonk sound.
Gentle reminder that Black Sabbath’s Sabotage album cover was itself the victim of sabotage.
The designers “carried on with the shoot, explaining they would superimpose the images at a later stage and that it would look great, to be honest. The session was unbelievably rushed, and the outcome was far from what had been originally envisaged.”
Those were their street clothes. 🎵 🤘
Sally Hawkins is so, so good. She gives the biggest feel bad toxic positivity performance I've maybe ever seen, and somehow you're still sort of rooting for her. Also, features one of the gnarliest gore scenes that had my roommates and I crawling up the couch. A+.
