Seeing the halfway mark on the One Piece popularity poll and guys, level with me:
Who tf is voting for Rock Star to put him 36th?? And Uta in the top 10 feels a bit much, like is this the Vista joke for this poll?
Uta’s movie absolutely CRUSHED Disney at the box office in 2022 and may have started their attempts to recover. Her film also directly inspired K Pop Demon Hunters with Jinu. Understating her impact on film history is a bit odd.
imagine a theater full of people who paid close to $15 a ticket to see cgi food products say “fuck” a lot and have a graphic orgy that presumably lasts a solid two minutes, if not more.
imagine the silence throughout the theater as dozens of strangers trapped in a large, dark room have to look at a 20 ft tall projection of food having kinky sex. there’s no raucous laughing, no. just a painful quiet, a sea of straight faces watching the food orgy unfold. the only comedy of the situation is that it’s about taking a type of media reserved for kids, animation, and making the cgi food do adult things like eat each other’s asses. a couple people might chuckle at first, but 10 seconds turns into 30, then 45, then a minute and a half, maybe longer. you realize in this span that dozens of people were paid to write this scene, to storyboard it, to animate it. seth rogan is a millionaire. you feel your $15 ticket burning in your pocket.
imagine the sound track. imagine hearing the sound track, muffled, from the next theater over. imagine the people spared the reality of witnessing a racial caricature pita bread orgasm in high definition. imagine the people who will applaud this movie for its “edgy take on comedy”. you exit the theater, a white guy probably named tyler gushes about the film to his uncomfortable date. she remembers the food orgy. she will not text him back.
And this is leading to the surrpression of more honest adult animation.
Leopards and faces… you just have to give it time.
When Trump won, the leopards were ready to eat from places they used to treat as truce zones.
This really didn’t age well at all.
Stay tuned here for me to do a count down of every time John K was caught punching down!
And here’s the first one! I can say that he’s done it at least thrice, but of these this is the most straightforward punching down he’s done. He provides no constructive criticism but instead sarcastically bashes it with a snappy one liner.
Stay tuned here for me to do a count down of every time John K was caught punching down!
As a ren and stimpy fan, i'm glad that this blog exists so i can say, without restraint: my relationship with john k's blog is very mixed. granted, i don't necessarily hate him as much as you do (keep in mind i discovered him AFTER the Buzzfeed article) i still read his blog from time to time.
his opinions are very mixed. Sometimes i agree with him (like the difference between a animation and a cartoon) and sometimes i disagree (like criticizing animaniacs when he hasnt FUCKING SEEN IT). Unfortunately i agree with him 20 percent of the time and disagree with him 80 percent of the time.
One thing that geniunly pisses me off about him though, is how he's a douchey hypocrite. He talks the talk but doesnt walk the walk. He always talks about "good animation!!!" and "good construction" but In many of his post 2005 works (ESPECIALLY cans without labels) they look exceptionally flat and are NOT well animated.
Not to mention how he's a self absorbed windbag with a persecution complex! For FUCK'S sake, John! Everybody is SICK and TIRED of your "executives are evil villains who want to replace wacky cartoonists with WRITERS" bullshit!! ESPECIALLY when you pretentiously claim that you're the Man Who Singlehandedly Created Animation!
Plus, i've read Sick Little Monkeys. John Dickfalusi didn't contribute as much as he wants you to believe he did!
This is why i started up an animation blog (@mrblitzsanimationtakes) in hopes to try and spread my own beliefs instead of relying on a washed up, bipolar, senile, psychotic pedophile!
Exactly! Thank you so much for your blog! Good job there!
what they DONT tell you about clarinets is that you have to fucking build the damn thing every single time. "what instrument do you play" fucking legos man idk
other instruments are like we are fully assembled dont worry!! just put the mouthpiece on!! and then clarinets are sitting there at the start of every single rehearsal with a gundam kit like dont worry guys i'll be ready to play in about 2 business days
:( bassoon
Perhaps this is why Squidward sounds so terrible; he never disassembles his!
In hindsight, this reminds me very much of the backlash to that one Lord of the Rings movie from 2024.
At first, the movie seemed to be fitting some demand that the group desired (people preferred anime and eastern movies, John K missed violence in children’s programming, blaming things like the Smurfs for real life violence), but upon the very reveal of the product, it was rejected anyway, to an extent for the very reasons it was initially desired.
john k when he sees a comedic cartoon that doesn’t have extremely fucking slow pacing, cloying 1950’s nostalgia, a reference to his father, and doesn’t take 6 or 7 fucking years to make (it’s obviously inbred Calarts writer slop)
It’s good to see that some people have begun to catch back on to him.
Heck yes!
A friendly reminder that John K. (the whiny, cranky creator of Ren and Stimpy) coined the term "CalArts style" on his blog simply to bash on The Iron Giant and Disney Renaissance animated films... and people distorted it to bash on modern animation trends as a dumb hot take >_>
Oh I’m very much aware. I think that the new use of le Calarts developed separately from his blog rants but I could be wrong.
That said if anything the actual usage of the buzzword is at the very least more fitting. American cartoons nowadays are very sameface-y and have similar visual impacts.
I just always found John’s usage of it batshit insane because the movies he used the term upon had noticeable differences. I’d understand it a little if he had used it for, say, the same face used in modern Disney female characters.
Regardless everything I mentioned still looks better than half the shit John designs. His style tries so hard to stick to the classics but his twist on them makes his characters unappealing IMO.
Indeed. There’s basically the whole story. Except Kricfalusi only got more angry and cynical from there. He started as the years went by, to find those designs flat-out repulsive, and by 2011 seemed to have given up all hope and lost interest in any modern animation.
I’m actually starting to feel terrible for poor Goody Three-Shoes. Funny in concept, but all the context around this poor girl is utterly horrifying.
“Everybody likes her, which makes her sad”
Well, that doesn’t sound so good already. It could be nice to explore her and her possible feelings of depression inside. The question of forced happiness, like a better version of Escape From Tomorrow
“She’s looking for someone to detest her”
This is concerning… and has implications of masochism and or masochists as a whole.
“People always give her presents.”
Keep going…
“And ask her to marry them.”
(Vomits)
Really? This clearly prepubescent girl is hit with constant marriage proposals? And if you look in the picture even the fucking SUN has stubble. It’s as if she’s being chased by those who want to sexualize her non-stop, surrounded by oppression.
Bear says “Well, I hate you! In fact, you make me sick, you sniveling little twerp! Didn’t your parents teach you that little girls don’t cry?”
While at first it seems like a joke, this may actually be a distant view of John K’s shattered psyche.
After Kraspar and Goody are married… a few jokes about marriage problems later… poor Goody Three Shoes is never seen again. Not on John K’s character lineup poster, not in any future Kraspar scripts, nowhere.
One of the things I love about studio animation VS Independent animation (or kids in their basement doing Flash) is the collaboration with o
Well… yeah they’re comparable. You have a point there.
The idea of a Smurf-ram drug cartel is somehow hillarious to me. “Gangland Babies” implies the existence of a “The Gangland Show” and possibly “Gangland Vision 3D”
(This also reminds me that what happened to the Smurfs under HB and other American companies is technically cultural appropriation but I feel like that will become relevant in a later post)
Hey, they have shots from the blog in this!
I’ve been thinking about diving into the depths of the blogs again and reviving this place with more reactions…
Stuff from the “peanut gallery quotes” will probably need outside help.
W-was this a confession? Even if subconscious…
EST GOODY 3 SHOES Goody Three-Shoes wears red plastic shoes on her cute 3 feet. Everybody likes her, which makes her sad. She’s looking for
While watching this, I come to realize that Filmation was more of a victim of circumstance than the problem… at least at first.
