"So now, imagine yourselves out in space. Billions and billions of years ago - looking down on this lonely tormented little planet spinning through an empty sea of nothingness"

Today I finished Fantasia (1940)

I have so much I want to say about this screenplay of sound brought to life.

Every single frame of animation is so mind-blowing and stunning with how invocative it is of emotion and the storytelling of sound to the very last note and drop where the entire program just feels anachronistic. How did such an absolute wonder of animation come out in 1940?? It is just not sinking into me now matter how I thought about it as this beautiful thread was unfolding before my eyes, bit by bit.

As usual, screenshots of my journey throughout:

This is indeed a timeless masterpiece. Walt Disney's most beautiful gift to the world

Walter as a person was far from perfect but this movie is clearly his magnum opus.

Two days ago I've seen that movie

I watched Get Out the other day. I'm not really a horror guy, but it struck the perfect chord between horror and just... wtf???

I won't spoil it but I highly recommend. Also I watched the new Mandolorian movie last weekend.

I grew up on this stuff so I like to come back to it, but I just finished watching The Monolith Monsters and was going to move onto Angry Red Planet (which was the next movie in the Tubi playlist), but instead decided to start The Earth Dies Screaming, which I find to be a perfectly watchable film

Back from the movie. To be frank, it wasn't what I expected. It likes to make fun of itself for how cheesy it is every time something heroic, epic or moving happens. Too Marvel for my taste. I would have rather they approach it with the same sincerity I've perceived in the Sonic movies.

At least I hope the kids who like it end up turning it into a cult classic years down the road.

Watched Red Planet last night and of course my son had to walk in during the scene with Carrie-Anne Moss in the shower. He stayed to watch the rest of the movie.

Angel's Egg (40th anniversary)

 

[Tsukishima]

Before the caper of showbiz and Hollywood spurn the tale a hundred times, let me tell what really happened.
What really happened, in Sunset Boulevard (1950)

A very unique film, a tragic theme of a man ensnared by a star. Those who pull too close to the star can never leave. A nebulous prison and a miasma of lies has an interesting aftertaste.

I enjoyed this one.

So against my better judgment, saw Survival of the Dead. I was torn between seeing Romero's last movie before he died and not wasting my time with it. Well, at least it wasn't beyond Last Jedi levels of bad I guess...

• Barnhardt: "Tell me, Hilda, does all this frighten you? Does it make you feel insecure?"
• Hilda: "Yes, sir, it certainly does."
• Barnhardt: "That's good, Hilda. I'm glad."

Today, I finished The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) and what an AMAZING movie it was!

Seriously amazing movie with fantastic acting, believable special effects (a really great use of bloom is used here) and many much more compliments I could give it. Gort's design is amazing and I love it, and every single scene that involved the mysterious presence of a higher authority, a higher power accompanied the insecurity every single human feels when confronted by this appearance of the unknown by excellent use of sound design such as that eerie humming, droning noise.

My usual screenclips as follows:

So many scenes of this movie, I was enthralled by how beautifully they play with the limited scheme of black and white. It creates a scale of what force overpowers who. That great, blinding light that follows Gort and the U.F.O signifies the film's message all the more powerfully.

Yeah, that was a pretty sad swan song for his film career. At least the book he cowrote with Daniel Kraus is pretty good, and a much more worthy successor to old Of The Dead movies than any after Land of the Dead were. Diary of the Dead isn't that bad, but I still don't like it that much. Plus it introduced the weirdly spelled Sgt. Crocket and his band of poorly disciplined and stupid deserters- especially the dude who bites the zombie in SotD, how dumb do you to have to be to do that? I dunno, the way the Crocket's name is spelled has always been weird to me.
