    Increasingly, Serkis makes me feel like he’s making this movie for the toxic bros. Pro-AI, all-white cast, ignoring Tolkien’s real words for the vibes-based mythologizing of him; all shit toxic bros love. He also made the Animal Farm movie that completely missed the books anti-authoritarian point.

    i don’t think everyone needs to like every film but the way people refuse to even take the Animal Farm (2025) movie seriously in any capacity feels so performative in a way no other movie has ever been treated, very odd to me

    Here's some fun film trivia for you: "The Animal" holds the record for the longest, most expensive shoot in Hollywood history because, after they wrapped up, director Francis Ford Coppola realized that he forgot to put the film in the cameras so they had to reshoot the whole thing!

    I realize this isn't possible for everyone, but...tired of Hollywood remakes? LIMBO and THE ANIMAL KINGDOM both are out as of this weekend, and both are getting great reviews. Look for a movie you haven't seen on pay cable or streaming--probably costs less than a movie ticket + food.

    If I see someone uphold Orwell, they getting muted. There is a reason the CIA funded the Animal farm film. Not to mention the State department printing and distributing Animal Farm and "1984." Its not a threat to imperialism. Should be an immediate red flag to anyone.

    Hm. Angel Studios (film). I'm going to treat their movies as hostile unless there's a compelling reason not to. And am going to look askance at actors who start in them (yes, even you, Andy Serkis). No, I haven't seen the Animal Farm he directed; and I suspect it will just piss me off.

    Probably a theatrical short film is safest bet if Disney suddenly wants to bring back the hype of Encanto, especially when they got the Animal Kingdom ride and a Disney Cruise Line show happening in 2027. But that is Disney Animation’s decision. Right now, they’re busy with Frozen and Zootopia.
