Strays

ComedyAdventure

Directed by Josh Greenbaum

When Reggie is abandoned on the mean city streets by his lowlife owner, Doug, Reggie is certain that his beloved owner would never leave him on purpose. But once Reggie falls in with Bug, a fast-talking, foul-mouthed stray who loves his freedom and believes that owners are for suckers, Reggie finally realizes he was in a toxic relationship and begins to see Doug for the heartless sleazeball that he is.

    I especially hate to disparage an animation that’s 2D, is clearly animated and designed well, but this material just sucks. There was that ultra cringe movie a couple years ago I saw previews for called ‘Strays’… it’s just that but animated??

    I read from someone that the credits of Scary Movie 6 didn’t list the animators at Motif Studios that did the KPop Demon Hunters parody scene. For shame… It’s like the 2023 movie Strays again, where Titmouse was credited for a brief animation but not the real crew names.

    Because, again, Sony made this film & could have released it theatrically themselves YEARS ago. But nope. Sony punted it to Warner Bros' New Line after Strays bombed at Universal. New Line got cold feet & decided to give Sony's film back to Sony & PEOPLE GOT PISSED AT WARNER BROS INSTEAD OF SONY.

    This is, weirdly, the second gross out pet movie to come out in the last couple years, the first being Strays (2023) and I hate to say this but they both have a similar scene where bodily waste is used to escape a pound. What are the gross odds? Why have I watched both? What are you a cop?

    The Night Comes for Us is my second Timo Tjahjanto film after my beloved The Shadow Strays, and while as gory as expected, I found it harder to connect with the story and the MC in particular (also didn't get the title...). Also, Joe Taslim is Indonesian! That was a *revelation* for me! #MovieSky

    The Shadow Strays rules! Aurora Ribero gives such a fun and strong performance both physically and emotionally, very violent and gory that any fans of the genre will love. Absolutely chaotic and only ups the chaos as the film goes on, Timo Tjahjanto impresses once again.

    Sony Pictures threw Fixed away because they were spooked by the attention the puritanical crowd would give a hard R-rated animated film. Strays' controversial run in 2023 and subsequent bombing made WB fear Fixed would suffer the same fate. Sony would have shelved it completely if not for Netflix.

    For me, though, it'll be hard to supplant Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? as the best Odyssey adaptation. Strays much further from the source material than Nolan does, but is perhaps one of the great treats of late 20th century film making. If you've never seen it, do. Also features fake beards.

    The combination of horror level gore and action in The Night Comes For Us would be a 'game changer' film, and I think that film is considered one. Shadow Strays is a more refined version of that for me, but it doesn't have the same impact second or third time around.

    Aurora Ribero gets close, especially because I've watched her in The Shadow Strays and know she can do the deadpan (or close to it) and raging voices, but... tricky. Maybe because she speaks in Indonesian in the film, and "translating" voices can be hard. But then I do that easily with Iko Uwais +
