No, that's model, actress, and the former Mrs. Joshua Jackson, Jodie Turner-Smith

I rather like her, but being a dark-skinned British Jamaican actress in 2025 she's ended up getting cast in a lot of dumbass woke culture war BBC and Disney shit. Good for the old career, I suppose.

I have no doubt that the new one will be worse in every way compared to the previous two. But as a Zoomer, this feels so surreal to me, since I remember Tron Legacy coming out. It doesn't make me "feel old." It just reminds me how fast Hollywood has gone down the shitter in the last thirteen years.

Cloudy's art style works because it takes more from 2000s cartoons.

They were also innovative with the modeling in how to implement that into 3D, it's honestly impressive. Blue Sky I still believe was the king of squash-and-stretch slapstick, but the Cloudy team is a close second and I wish they'd do more with that style.
 
I may be the only guy hyped for Tron War, but I think it looks great and I have an odd fondness for Leto as an actor after moebius. Lot of people dont realize this is his baby and he was supposed to be in Legacy to set up his appearance for the canceled sequel. im assuming Tron and the legacy characters wont actually be in it, but as long as they dont pull a last jedi and actually respect the franchise while doing something cool, it should be fine.

Hopefully Leto didn't fuck too many people at whatever the hell his cult thing was.

I finally watched fantasia, having never seen it before. It is an absolute masterpiece of art. The fusion of music and animation. It was inspiring, and uplifting. Finally, it was depressing, as I realised that no modern piece of animation could compare, and likely no future piece of animation could compare to it.

What happened? When did we lose this from culture?

Fantasia wasn’t even successful in its own time, it became popular much later on. Upon release it was ridiculed by critics because they saw it as watered down high culture with a sell-out conductor. After the release, Walt Disney also had to deal with animator’s strike which really impacted him and he spent a majority of WW2 on travel in South America. When he came back he lost any interest in doing an anthology of Fantasia films like he originally planned.

It’s sad to see that style of animation wither on the vine but in its day was never considered art.

I thought Big Lebowski was in the trailer?

Well aside from him. Although Ive heard theory's Leto's character's initial objective is the chip necklace Sam had at the end of legacy. Im guessing he gets side tracked and they use it as sequel bait at the end.
 
Honestly? The reason this K-pop-centered flick is doing numbers isn't exactly rocket science. You've got a cast of conventionally attractive, charming characters with just enough heart to carry a narrative—and more importantly, a rabid, built-in fanbase that eats this stuff up like it's oxygen.

But here's the smart part: the film doesn't drown you in K-pop minutiae or shove Korean culture down your throat for virtue points. It tells a universal story—one that's accessible whether or not you've ever heard of a lightstick or know the difference between a maknae and a hyung. That makes it Sony’s closest equivalent to Encanto—a culturally specific wrapper around a broadly relatable emotional core.

And yet, it's wild that this sleeper hit, debuting quietly on Netflix, has managed to dominate the Billboard charts more than Moana 2 or whatever trainwreck Disney had planned with that Rachel Zegler Snow White. It’s a sign of the times—Hollywood’s giants keep fumbling, and the audience has started voting with their streams and playlists.

Meanwhile, Pixar has been fumbling its bag for the better part of a decade. The creative spark that once made them untouchable? Gutted. Most of the original minds have been pushed out or left entirely, leaving the studio to flounder under the direction of millennial showrunners who either drop uninspired one-offs or sequels that undermine their own legacy (*lookin’ at you, Lightyear).

It’s not that the K-pop movie is some masterpiece—it’s that it understands the moment. Something the big players seem to have forgotten entirely.

Got the chance to see Atlantis on the big screen. My opinion on it has softened a little since my previous viewing. It's a decent movie that had the potential to be so much more. You remember how I said Pirates of the Caribbean was just a smidge too long for what it was?
Vyse Inglebard said:
The only problem (and unfortunately it's kind of a big one): it's too damn long. if they shaved about half an hour (particularly after the first 40 minutes or so), it'd be damn near perfect.

I was a fool. Pirates works at its length because there are moments where we get to slow down and develop the characters more. Atlantis moves too quickly. Not even 20 minutes into the movie and we're already on the boat to Atlantis. The crew aside from Milo? We blitz through their backstories and they do a few token things here and there. That's it. Their betrayal near the end doesn't sting nearly as much as it would have if we did get to know the rest of the crew a bit more. Rourke and Helga are also two of the most easily-telegraphed villains ever put into an animated film.

The lows? Pretty damn low. The highs?

1. THIS MOVIE IS SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL MY NIGGERS.
The big screen definitely helped, but seriously, I want to march up to the current Disney Animation Studios and scream at them like:

2. Milo is actually a pretty likeable lead.
Gets to show off his intellect (his intellect is what helps the crew get to Atlantis and ingratiate themselves with its people) and has the capacity to grow some balls when the situation calls for it.
3. For that matter, so is Kida.
Has respect for her elders, and a desire to help her people. Her rapport with Milo is adorkable as all hell, too.

A solid 7/10.
 
This might be a hot take, but Fantastic Four was amazing, & waaay better than James Gunn's Superman. The cinematography was absolutely stunning (although I'm a sucker for retro-futurism...)

I have no idea why Disney (allegedly) wasn't confident in the film. It's arguably the best Marvel film they've put out in ages. I actually think they should have released it before Thunderbolts*. I feel like Thunderbolts* was very "meh" compared to this film, and Fantastic Four would have been a better spring movie.
 
Saw this, thought it was funny.

Personally I’m with all the people saying one of the worst things Disney has done is film the Mulan remake near Chinese concentration camps and then thank the CCP. Fucking up copyright laws was also pretty bad. Those seem a bit worse than cancelling your favorite stupid gay show.
