WICKED (2024) dir. Jon M. Chu

[trainerofdragons]

The scene between Hiccup and Snotlout on the ship in book eleven is one of the best depictions of a person self destructing— and explicitly vocalizing the thought process behind it— that I have ever seen in media. PERIOD. And the fact it comes from a children’s book? And the character is shown getting out of that self destruction through the support of a loved one they had been denying they had? And is followed by reconciliation and a newfound purpose?

Of course it makes what follows absolutely gut wrenching and brutal— like, genuinely difficult to listen to (if you’re like me and read via the audiobooks). But I’ll de damned if Cressida Cowell isn’t a gift to this world for what she puts into it through her stories.

[trainerofdragons]

Just relistened to all of the HTTYD audiobooks, and if I had to sum up the thesis of this story, and Hiccup’s character, in one quick observation it would be this:

Hiccup’s opening narration does not end in “this is the story of how I became a king”. It ends in “this is the story of becoming a hero… the hard way.” And that just speaks volumes— about the character of Hiccup himself, about the incredible life lessons Cressida Cowell presents in these books, and to how gosh darn good the adaption is in that it captured that essence and just… bottled it for a movie format.

The unexpected reason why the drive-through line is so long

The real problem with books-turned-movies isn’t “omg they didn’t include every single word in the book” it’s “omg they completely overlooked the main theme, threw out any significant allegories, took away all the emotional pull, an turned it into a boring action movie with a love triangle in it”

My mom is a fourth grade teacher, and I’ll never forget after ‘Encanto’ came out, she said all of her students were obsessed with Bruno.

Drawing him, talking about him— they were just drawn to and absolutely loved Bruno! And given the context of the story I think that is actually really important and beyond precious.

[theblueeyedbelle]

When watching ‘Encanto’, I think every viewer receives a gift which is singing the parts of every member of the Madrigal family at once when We Don’t Talk About Bruno comes on.

This is honestly better advice than “if at first you don’t succeed, try try again.”

By all means try again. But do that after you figure out WHY you failed!

Despite him being my favorite director of all time I missed that Guillermo del Toro was directing the new Frankenstein until I saw that teaser and HOLY SHIT I am so seated.

Del Toro and Frankenstein might just be the best combination put together on this earth since chocolate and peanut butter— thematically and tonally. From the trailer alone we can see this is also going to be the first and perhaps only adaptation that is really, truly connected to Mary Shelly’s novel (you know, that invented a new genre) and it is so exciting. Not to mention not surprising with Del Toro directing— Mary Shelly’s novel is EXACTLY the kind of stories that Del Toro likes to tell.

I don’t think the Cats movie just brought the pandemic, I think it moved us to an incorrect alternate timeline.

When I was little, I quite literally couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that Nani was Lilo’s sister and not her mom— my mom had to correct me. And honestly I think that speaks volumes.

One of my favorite small details about ‘Brave’ is that the, well, brave and adventurous heroine, feels fear. We see Merida scared as a little kid, we see her feel fear on her adventure when she’s older— for example when she is quite literally about to be mauled by a giant bear (understandable).

This is so important to me. The fact Merida feels fear doesn’t negate her spirit and bravery. She’s human. As it is often said, bravery isn’t the lack of fear, but the perseverance through it.
