“March 15, 2025. That was the night I cried.”
This film absolutely gutted me. I mean I know me and everyone else, but all I could see was my 14 month old in Setuko’s eyes and innocent smile. The way she would play… Like I want to go and save Setuko, but I can’t. I’m completely powerless. And then when you do some research and read about the director, Isao Takahata’s story, it somehow gets worse. Poor Seita. He did what he…
Think about how many Best Picture, Oscar nominated movies would be rated PG or G if they would just say goodbye to the titties and/or the f-bomb(s).
Get a group of Roman Catholic priests together and find you have a pretty solid MPAA PG rating.
You don’t see this often, but honestly it’s not because of quality, rather because of unwritten rules about what goes into a Best Picture worthy film.
This film had every right to be nominated. Between…
“Jesus.”
“Oh! Thank God.”
I want to start by saying I’m grateful to the screenwriters and director for not attempting to act smarter than they are. Thank you for not trying to condescend your audience by displaying your self-righteous “knowledge”.

For a dude that has only ever directed documentaries (the brother doesn’t even have a Wiki page), this isn’t half bad. Literally. While there are some editing and…
“You know, Burke, I don’t know which species is worse. You don’t see them f-ing each other over for a g-ddamn percentage.”
Some thoughts watching this film:
- You had me at James Horner. I miss him.
- I liked it better than Alien, but it was not better than Alien.
- Aliens was not scarier than Alien. Aliens really wasn’t scary at all. The focus on the Alien’s limbs rather than the face and body was not a good…
“I smell like gravy.”
We are going to watch Trolls: World Tour with my nieces tonight and I have a strict aversion to watching sequels if I have not seen the first. So I watched Trolls today.
I have never been so uncomfortable in the first 10 minutes of an animation movie and I’ve seen The Troll In Central Park.
I thought there was going to be more song covers. Normally, we are oversaturated like an episode of Glee, but…
