    So intro time for the new folks. I’m a storyboard and occasional concept artist for film and tv. I’ve worked on Star Trek Discovery, Pacific Rim, IT, The Thing, loads more. I used to draw comics for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and 2000ad/Dredd. I designed Pennywise’s smile makeup by accident one day.

    There was a lot of “scary for kids” stuff happening in Matilda and that movie was really fun to film! I also think about Mana Ashida talking about how she called Guillermo Del Toro “Totoro-San” while they were filming scary scenes in Pacific Rim! youtu.be/cRzk09h6YwM?...

    We should be on our fifth Pacific Rim film by now. Was the second movie mid? Sure! But you know what else? It still had giant robots and kaiju! A formula so powerful that it is a genre within itself. I demand a face-to-face with the President of Hollywood!

    probably my worst and least defensible opinion is that Pacific Rim is the best movie ever made, because it knows exactly what it is and proceeds to nail being the best possible version of that thing

    Pacific Rim did exactly what it was intended to do. In terms of execution on the vision of the director and achieving what he wanted to achieve in the audience, Pacific Rim is, literally, a perfectly crafted film. And the mecha and kaiju design was actually peak. Like, indisputably, top 10 GOATed.
