Did we ever find a name for Lobster man? I want to know the name of the chief badass of my Hoshida crew.

Ryouma.

I know the Book of Life wasn't your favorite movie, and all your criticisms were well founded. However, there is one thing this movie excels in that saves it just enough to earn some praise. It's a gateway. This is the first movie in a long time to treat Mexican people like actual people, and shows respect for the culture of the region. This wasn't the best movie ever, but imagine the ones that will be made, now that the doorway has been opened! That's why I love the Book of Life.

True, but now I'm afraid the next studio that does it won't be as kind as del Toro. The only things he messed up on were allowing them to use american music for the songs. Imagine how much an American studio will butcher Latino culture if they try it. And now they have the excuse of "well, del Toro assimilated some American culture in the movie, that's what we did."

True. I wouldn’t personally go THAT far, but I’d definitely hide it a bit differently than Joaquin did. But then again intelligence isn’t exactly Joaquin’s strong suit.

Up. My. Ass.

Well that isn't really fair. We can't exactly use hypotheticals to justify a point, because they're, yakno, hypothetical.

No, I'm just saying. If I had a magical amulet that needed to stay hidden, I'd shove it up my ass. Deep.

I'm not so sure. The movie makes it seem like it takes all three of them to do anything major regarding the dead. After all, all 3 of them did the little incantation to give Manolo his life back.

Admittedly, yes. Though technically he did hide it. Again, it was under the vest when he was a kid, and under the shoulder strap when he was an adult. Technically if one of the bandits had moved the strap a bit none of them would have seen it.

If I were him I would've shoved that thing up my ass.

I think the reason Maria still gave Joaquin a chance is because she knows that Joaquin isn't actually sexist, and just tends to make stupid blunders alot.

Idk man. He was kind of an asshole. He had redeeming qualities, but he was still an asshole.

Actually, no. Xibalba had to give Manolo his life back. He did NOT have to raise the Sanchez family. That was never in the agreement. Unless La Muerte twisted his arm, which I slightly doubt, he did it of his own volition.

Honestly, I feel like he did it for La Muerte more than himself. Even if he hadn't joined in, Candlemaker and Muerte could've done it alone
