    I mean, it would also be insane to take someone's license away for *actually* using their phone at this point too. Newer cars have actual touchscreen tablet interfaces that requires the driver to look away from the road; sometimes even to see basic information like their current speed. Plus, there's all these dickbags on the road in pickups or other light trucks (with or without those iPad screens) that are purposefully designed primarily to exude masculinity, not be safe vehicles to drive.…

    Pains me to say this even tho it's machine translated and needs a proper one. While fast-paced movies CAN WORK if having some breathing time like with Captain underpants, Lego Movie, Bad Guys and Madagascar 3. But the SMG Movie lacked story. I'm sorry Miyamoto but this is not making a game anymore!

    Yeah, that seems to be the most recurring rational argument one can make with this scenario, especially as the film itself is totally fine. I remember seeing a tweet negatively commenting on the human character designs in Madagascar 3, a film that was MEANT to be exaggerated and cartoony.

    I have so many issues with Madagascar 3... But the ending almost saved the movie for me. After movie after movie of them trying to get to new York. Many perills, meeting the world and animals, family... and then the Zoo suddenly is very small and grey.

    I see that meme about your favorite movie that came out when you were 20, and all I can say is that I watched Wreck-It Ralph that year. To say it's my favorite is wrong, but being the only watched movie it technically fits. I didn't know there was a Men in Black 3 or Madagascar 3 but I'd watch them.

    I'm gonna take this in a different direction. Pre-covid I went to a lot of movies so I saw the same trailers a lot, enough to build up feelings about the movies. The two that I still get angry thinking about today are MADAGASCAR 3 and GRUDGE MATCH. Never seen either movie, but I hate them both.

    While it's deliberate it picks up RIGHT after Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, it acknowlidges that 10 years before the events of the movie, the youngest member of the movie, Private, first hatched. Effectively turning a birthday party into a hostage situation from a mad octopus.
