Which user would you go on a date with?

Drive Thru is another cheesy horror flick to add to the rich tapestry of clown-centric cinema.
Every time the killer is recorded moving the footage is sped up and nu-metal plays over the top of it. Magnifique

DUDE I WATCHED DRIVE THRU LIKE TWO DAYS AGO WTF!

When the bully’s boyfriend gets his head cut in half and you see his tongue writhe that fucking got me! Such a good film.

That's the bit that always gets me too! That and the head popping in the microwave, a-dayum.

I remember Amusement was another one that came out around the same time...and ofc we can't forget the OG Killer Klownz from Outer Space

 

[Ume]

Throw me a date?

 

[Gorse]

Throw me a date?

[Prism_Red]

It's gud.

I've been meaning to drop a huge rant about the new Ren & Stimpy reboot show that I recently watched in one of the TV threads, but I can actually just sum my thoughts in one sentence here:

"It's like a show made by people who had the Ren & Stimpy franchise described to them, but never actually watched it."
– Gorse, 2025


It's not so much atrocious as it is bland, which is probably the worst possible thing it could have been. Adult Party Cartoon is far better than this slop, and deserves a critical re-evaluation in the modern age. I'm 100% sure Paramount will be writing it off this year for its taxes. OH WELL

And whilst we're at it, why do Mickey, Goofy and Donald look like strung-out tweakers in the new Disney cartoons?!

Because Goofy’s a hick, duh!

 

[Gorse]

At least those Mickey Mouse shorts have some sense of weirdness and creativity to them. (I actually like that show, though it has a lot of tone problems.) The new Ren & Stimpy is the definition of "design by committee", which the original show (and APC) was the complete antithesis of.

 

[LiberoVulpes]

Man, i haven't seen a cartoon since Regular Show, and maybe some Clarence episodes when i still watched TV.

Years of worlds hopping beating up heartless and nobodies has taken it's toll on him.

 

[Gorse]

I quite literally know the guy who made this show. We used to post together on Sonic forums in the early 2010s, and were friends on Discord for a time.

[LiberoVulpes]

Good time of day all! This gets a "I suppose it works but please don't" on the pick-up line scale!"
​

"Is heaven missing an angel, cause you have a nice ass!"​

This gets a "I like your sense of humor, sure!" on the scale!
​

Are you a mob boss? Because baby, I want to goon for you!​

This gets a "Am I getting Gorsed?" on the scale!
​

Are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only ten I see.​

This gets a "Old but gold, and I'm down for some classic pick up line cheese. Sure!" on the scale!
​

Are you from Ohio? Because Oh, hi!

...Oh.​

This gets a "Yeah, I'm getting Gorsed. ...Gorse me." on the scale!
​

"Are you Sakuya? Because every time I look at you, time stops."​

"Let's make this night imperishable"​

"Baby, you're a perfect cherry blossom in this imperishable night, and I have a mountain of faith that you and I could be an undefined fantastic object."​

Assuming these are all touhou, these all get a "I'm sorry I don't get the reference, but good effort!" on the scale!
​

"I must be a beaver, because I'm craving that wood"​

This gets a "Good chuckle, small blush, date earned." on the scale!
​

Hey, do you like peaches? I heard all celestials do, but I never thought I'd get to ask one.

(I found a bunch of touhou ones heh)​

This gets a "I don't need to know Touhou for this to be immediately sweet, interested!" on the scale.​

I watched Flow last night. I'm still not completely sure how I felt about it.​

 

[Gorse]

I'm still not completely sure how I felt about it.

Any particular thoughts you’d like to share with the class? I’d consider it if you liked it.

 

[Samatonic]

Was gonna ask the same thing here @Gorse.

Any particular thoughts you’d like to share with the class? I’d consider it if you liked it.​

I think overall if I had to lean one way or the other it's that I enjoyed it. It's always going to be pretty impressive to me when a movie can tell a cohesive, solid story (even if it is fairly simple) with no dialogue. The animation itself was pretty impressive for a multitude of reasons. The camera movement in the movie actually looks pretty real and natural, like it was filmed with an actual camera as opposed to what you often see in animated films where it's just kinda following the characters flawlessly and looking at what's going on. The movie in general really just looks really good, and in particular the water itself is done pretty well. I'd even go so far as to say it's the first time in a long time I thought a movie came close to holding up to Antz in that regard, which is my gold standard for animated water. Everything about how the movie looks and is animated is also particularly impressive knowing that the movie was made in blendr, though admittedly there are a lot of times where you can kinda tell, especially anytime our kitty protagonist carries and drops something. The animations of the animals in the film themselves are also surprisingly well done. If everything didn't look so stylized, like if this was Disney "live-action" Lion King quality visually, but the animations were largely kept from Flow, the animals would just look real.

It's a little bit of a hard watch, though, if you don't like seeing bad things happen to animals, even animated ones. The fact that they feel so realistic despite being obviously animated makes when any animal character is in distress hit a bit harder too. I think the only outright problem I had with the movie is that there's a couple plot points (mostly involving a group of dogs) that just kinda feel completely unnecessary. Like, if they were removed from the film, it just wouldn't be different. The movie also starts leaning pretty heavily into being a bit more symbolic and mystical towards the end, but that also kinda makes it feel a little more incomplete too. I should also add that for me, it feels longer than it is. I thought the movie was around about 2 hours, but it's a little short of an hour and a half. That's not to say it's poorly paced or anything, because I wouldn't say it is, but there's a lot of things that happen, and the movie is fairly regularly tense because it's a mishmash of confused animals trying to survive a great flood on a boat for about an hour and doing about as well as you could reasonably expect.

I think if I had to sum it up shortly is that Flow is a mildly distressing movie about animals trying to survive by not drowning,but it's really pretty and is overall a pretty solid movie. Would recommend, but maybe not to everyone.​
