Good old Oggy and the cockroaches on TV ❤️

Re-watched "Tous à l'Ouest" after 16 years

It's way WAY better than from my memory!

I remembered it was a boring thing and the Daltons only appeared like 15 minutes at the beginning, but not AT ALL!

And though I still think Clovis Cornillac is a bad casting choice for Joe, because his voice is waaaaay too gentle and soft (even when Joe gets angry and screamy, so like 80% of his screentime) and it's too sexy... first Cornillac is an excellent actor and should dub more often, that's for one truth and well... well it was the first time I was attracted to Joe Dalton! XD

Especially at the end, when he threatens Luke and he's about to kill him. He sounds like... he's openly flirting with him! (Joe's gun is a metaphor for his queer dick)

The animation is... wow. It's WOW!

And... to worsen my weird sexual attraction to Joe, not only he has a very sexy voice, also he's unexpectedly smart and very mass-manipulative in that movie! Contrary to Lucky Luke, he would be a terrific actor! XD

I say 'smart', except when he doesn't listen to his brothers. That is all the time.

I've also detected some ideas in that movie that crafted the animated series Les Dalton, among them Averell becoming a bit less stupid and a bit more annoyed at Joe's shitty behavior towards him. I'm glad they kept that.

Also that cute hand-check between Joe and Jack, like two actual brothers would do! It's so simple but so rare! Except in the Dalton cartoon where the brothers act more like brothers than just like a gang with Joe as their boss.

So if you're a fan of the Dalton brothers, go watch it!

(preferably in the original French version, for Clovis Cornillac and most importantly: for Holy Bernard Alane)

Imagine Combining More of your Favorite Foreign Studio's Works in the Visual Beautiful Irish-Ghibli Artstyle.

After Commissioning @missplayer30 of The Space Goofs cast in the Artstyle of Tomm Moore, I’ve been lately watching a whole lot of Cartoon Saloon Movies Non-Stop (as well binging on Other Xilam Shows) that I’ve been inspired by @missplayer30 to do my own Artstyle Challenge of what Other Xilam Cartoons would look like in the Cartoon Saloon Artstyle since both the Goofy-Comedy & the Traditional-Beauty styles were one of the Tradition Inspirations to my Artstyle. 

I didn’t really want to add Lucky Luke (mainly “The Daltons”) in there since Lucky Luke is one of the Famous Franco-Belgian Comics that has been adapted before a lot in each Different Artstyle (even Xilam is one of the Top Tens) for I wanted to focus on picking their Actual Original Works.

You could obviously tell that while making these, I had to pick out Each & Every Different Style from Any Other of Tomm Moore’s Works into a blending mashup within each of Marc Du Pontavice’s Works considering that both Animation Studios tend to flesh out their own Artstyle (raging from Movies to Shows that I choice to do a combination).

Despite being a Huge Lover to the Movies (especially my Most Fav being The Irish Folklore Trilogy), I haven't been on a touch with Shows from Cartoon Saloon (besides than Skunk Fu) so I might give any of their Shows a Try Someday (same can be said to Xilam's Movies).

Those who are deeply aware in case if they haven't seen Space Goofs that are already drawn in this Artstyle, y'all can Click the Link Here.

✨What we do in outer space ✨

Marc du Pontavice would be so proud

My favorite cartoon ship (Ren and Stimpy) as my favorite cartoon creator ship (Marc du Pontavice and Alix de Maistre) ❤

If you follow me in other social media like YouTube or DeviantArt, I have a huge love for the founders of Xilam, since their love story is very emotional and lovely, which is one of the greatest love stories I ever heard ❤

In my headcanon, Ren and Stimpy are a married couple who have jobs as a cartoon producer and animator/director

Ren is the cartoon producer and Stimpy is the animator and director ❤

[dandelionsprout42]

I love this show quite a lot

For roughly the 4th separate time (with breaks in-between), I've got hooked on Lupin's Tales. It's a pretty genius show despite its more or less set format:

Essentially, it's a super-excited and very eager 2D wolf boy (in a 3D bedroom where he has a plushie of himself 10× bigger than him), who enters into storybooks that are in his own bedroom but which are narrated by someone else.

He then manages to swap places with the main character in each book (Imagine Quantum Leap but better), has no issues at all as to whether he's entering into the role of a male or a female character, and then heads out into the later pages while he decides "I know better than you lol" about the large plot hints from both the narrator and the books' side characters.

Almost every time, he and the narrator accidentally find themselves as a good cop / bad cop duo to try to fix both the ending and the post-ending of all of their books.

If the guy who is credited in the episode intros as the director, Marc du Pontavice, was indeed properly involved in this show, then this may well be his best work by comfortable margin, better than even Zig & Sharko.

(I do seem to catch a liking to playful and very excited gentlemen. Hat Man, Sticky Joe, Rory from Unicorn Academy, Lupin, fine homies they are.)

(The Norwegian dub of Lupin's Tales is also a masterpiece in and of itself, such that it should've been made the sole official standard for the Nynorsk writing standard.)

Hello everyone, haven’t done anymore draws to post up lately but I thought I just write something for a change, for those who remembered months ago I post two photos of my drawing on Space Goofs also was known as Les Zinzins de l'Espace in French , Home to Rent (early title), I was looking through the internet to see if there are any fan fictions on the goofs but there hasn’t been any much (they are some on DeviantArt) and today thought maybe I should write my own. I’m am no way an expert when it comes to writing and I might not write one until I feel confident,here are some ideas I want to have in and hope these ideas are good.

Space Goofs fanfic ideas: • Sets in America but still has some European stuff. • Sets after both seasons. • Sets in current times. • Stereo isn’t written out. • Everyone but Bud still don’t like humans much. • Bud makes friends with a human (a friendly one). • Human is female tomboy and an young adult. • Slowly human befriends all goofs. • Very much slowly with Gorgious. • Stereo has more character. • Still a bookworm but also quite mischievous. • Often arguing with himself. • Poor Etno still finding ways to get back home. • Still building rockets, spaceships, etc. • Gorgious is little less mean than he was in season 2. • Human wants to both help the goofs like Earth more and help get them back to their home planet. • Human is aware how unpredictable some other humans are. • Human push herself too hard. • Candy is non-binary (series producer Marc du Pontavice confirmed it canon). • Both Candy and Gorgious have a love/hate relationship ( they not together…yet). • Bud and human are gamer buds. • There might be an unexpected romantic relationship later on. • The aliens might have been on Earth for maybe 60 years. No wonder why they try to get back home.

Again I might not write one until I think I’m ready to start a fanfic, hope you all have a great day everyone bye!

P.S. Space Goofs is an underrated good show.🚀🪐

Gainsbourg (Vie héroïque) Fr 2010

Raconte la vie de Serge(Julien) Gainsbourg, artiste et chanteur français. Avec Eric Elmosnino dans le rôle de Gainsbourg et Doug Jones dans le rôle de La Gueule. J'aime les films français! Je n'ai pas encore tout à fait fini de regarder le film. Je dois regarder encore 30 minutes lol. Avec des dessins de Marc du Pontavice. Créateur d'oggy et les cafards! Histoire de vie très intéressante. le film contient beaucoup de nudité, de tabac (des enfants fument !!) et de boisson. Pas pour les âmes faibles! Doug Jones joue à merveille le rôle de La Guule. Il s'avère que c'est l'ami fantastique de Serge. Qui peut ou non l'envoyer dans la mauvaise direction... Je ne pense pas que cette voix soit celle de Jones. comme dans Le Labyrinthe de Pan, il a répété le texte mais il a été doublé par un acteur français. De nombreux mouvements gracieux de la main. Oh j'adore doug jones. Serge a un faible pour les femmes. Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot, France Gall,... ont été commentées...

Bonnie et clyde et je suis venu te dire que je m'en vais c'est mon favoris! Serge est décédé le 2 mars 1991, huit mois après ma naissance. Je vous recommande ce film si vous aimez les films français, Doug Jones et les ambiances esthétiques !

Je n'ai pas encore complètement regardé le film. et en plus j'ai d'autres captures d'écran que je mettrai en ligne plus tard !

Adam Watches the 92nd Academy Awards

The 92nd Academy Awards have come and gone. As always, there’s plenty to be happy about and plenty that’ll make you wonder what the heck the voters were thinking. I watched the ceremony and while I may say that I don’t care… I do. Those awards are a big deal. Legions of people who would’ve otherwise dismissed Parasite as some movie that requires them to read subtitles saw it because it was nominated. One of those golden statues can make a career and let’s face it, you like to hear your love for something validated by people who have even the semblance of authority on the subject.

But here’s what you may not know: most of the voters really don’t know what they’re doing. While cinematographers NOMINATE what films are up for that Best Cinematography Award, EVERYONE in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gets to vote for the winner and there’s no guarantee they’ve actually seen every nominee, know what the technical terms mean or are voting because what they saw is what they actually believe was “the best”. Once you take into account the dollars required to produce a nomination campaign, the stigma many genre films face, the prejudices against certain types of roles and/or actors, and how popularity influences votes, a win hardly means more than a bunch of people you don’t know saying they liked a movie.

If you want a better idea of which of 2019’s films were “the best”, you’re better off asking someone you know and trust, someone who can prove they’ve done their homework and aren’t just voting for their friends, the one they’ve heard is good from their kid, or got a special gift basket from. I may not be a paid professional, but I have put in the time and effort to see EVERYTHING nominated (with a few exceptions I’ll detail below). Reviews for some of these (The Irishman, Judy) are coming to the blog in a couple of days. If it were up to me the list of nominees would be different but we’ll get to that later. Without further ado, here’s who SHOULD’VE won. 

Best Visual Effects

1917 – Guillaume Rocheron, Greg Butler, and Dominic Tuohy The best special effects are the kind you don’t even notice. I couldn’t tell you where the explosions, sets, and actors in 1917 begin, and where the computer-generated imagery takes over. It’s seamless.

Best Film Editing

Parasite – Yang Jin-mo Got to hand it to Parasite for its amazing use of montage and the way it stitched its footage together. Some shots I initially thought initially were one take I realized under carefully scrutiny - and by that I mean frame-by-frame examination - were actually two melded together. The scenes showing how the Kim family infiltrate the Park’s household should be shown in film class to demonstrate how the art of montage is at its best should be done to maximum effect.

Best Costume Design

Little Women – Jacqueline Durran Funny how every single film nominated at the 92nd Academy Awards was a period piece. My vote goes to Little Women not because it was necessarily the most accurate (I couldn’t tell you what people wore in 1868) but because of the way the costumes were used. You can tell a lot about the characters from the multiple outfits they wear throughout the film - check out that purple bonnet adorned by Aunt Marsh (Meryl Streep).

Best Makeup and Hairstyling

Bombshell – Kazu Hiro, Anne Morgan, and Vivian Baker I called it when I reviewed the film. The makeup used to transform John Lithgow was nothing short of incredible. It was an easy pick.

Best Cinematography

1917 – Roger Deakins I’m glad to see The Lighthouse on this list but I have to hand it to 1917. The one-shot motif adds so much to the story. Then, there are the individual shots I remember so vividly. The quiet meadow just outside of No Man’s Land, the raging inferno Schofield sees when he wakes up, the trench he must run in front of to reach the Colonel are all shots that permanently imprint themselves into your memory.

Best Production Design

1917 – Production Design: Dennis Gassner; Set Decoration: Lee Sandales Tempted to hand it to Parasite for the house they constructed for the movie but I’m give it to 1917. The trenches, the blasted landscape of No Man’s Land still haunt me. When you see the craters, it’s jarring. Then, as your eyes become adjusted, you notice the rats. Then, the chunks of bone and charred meat that have now become part of the landscape. It’s horrific.

Best Sound Mixing

Ford v Ferrari – Paul Massey, David Giammarco, and Steven A. Morrow What you remember most from Ford v Ferrari is that big race at the end. The climax wouldn’t have been the same without the sounds we heard. The roar of the engines, the clacking and grinding as the pedals are pushed and gears are switched… the air rushing by. Out of the nominees, it’s the one whose sounds I most remember.

Best Sound Editing

Ford v Ferrari – Donald Sylvester This year, the Best Sound Editing award goes hand-in-hand with the sound mixing. Obviously, the actors were never moving at the kind of speeds depicted in Ford v Ferrari but you wouldn’t be able to tell because of the foley and sound design.

Best Original Song

Stand Up from Harriet – Music and Lyrics by Joshuah Brian Campbell and Cynthia Erivo Stand Up plays during the end credits of Harriet and it perfectly caps the film. Whenever I hear its lyrics, I’m transported back to that moment. It’s the most memorable and emotional song on this list.

Best Original Score

Joker – Hildur Guðnadóttir I chose the best song for its ability to stand out. In this category, Joker wins because its music doesn’t stand out… at least not at first. While you’re watching, those notes don’t draw attention to themselves. They subconsciously build the mood, augmenting the performance by Joaquin Phoenix, the visuals, and the story. You don’t notice how much of an effect it has on you until you see isolated clips. When you do, it’s shocking.

Best Animated Short Film

Abstaining (I’ve only seen Hair Love)

Best Live Action Short Film

Abstaining

Best Documentary Short Subject

Abstaining

Best Documentary Feature

Abstaining

Best International Feature Film

Abstaining, as I’ve only seen 2 films (Pain and Glory and Parasite)

Best Animated Feature Film

I Lost My Body – Jérémy Clapin and Marc du Pontavice I Lost My Body is the most audacious and inspired of the animated films nominated. The only movie among these to be aimed at adults, it often tells its story through visuals alone but when you get to the end, you realize it’s about more than just what was on-screen.

Best Adapted Screenplay

Little Women – Greta Gerwig based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott Greta Gerwig does more than merely adapt the classic novel, she breathes new life into it, makes it her own, makes it feel wholly new and modern. This version of the film surpasses all others we’ve seen before because of the changes she’s made to the story’s structure. 

Best Original Screenplay

Knives Out – Rian Johnson What a ride Knives Out was. It’s got so many twists and turns, so many delightful characters you want to re-watch it the second it’s over so that you are no longer distracted by its central mystery and can simply step back and admire the handiwork by Rian Johnson. A sequel’s been announced and I can’t wait to see it.

Best Supporting Actress

Laura Dern – Marriage Story as Nora Fanshaw Laura Dern was also in Little Women and her two roles couldn’t be more different. Here, she’s loathsome and captivating. As soon as I saw Nora take off her shoes before she kneeled down on the couch to console Nicole, I knew there was a whole lot more to her character than what we were told. The more you see her, the more you want.

Best Supporting Actor

Al Pacino – The Irishman as Jimmy Hoffa Al Pacino has the advantage of getting A LOT of screen time as Jimmy Hoffa. The Irishman clocks in at over 3,5 hours and he isn’t in the whole movie but when he is, the seasoned performer gives us so much. At different periods of the story, you’ll feel differently about him. There’s no point comparing him to the real-life person. He takes the meaty role and makes it his own. His voice, his mannerisms, I can’t think of anyone who could’ve done it better.

Best Actress

Renée Zellweger – Judy as Judy Garland Judy was the very last movie on my list to watch, having missed it when it came to theatres. When I think back to Zellweger’s performance, I don’t see her. All I see is her character, a rich, complex person you sometimes hate, sometimes love and feel sorry for. The movie is not going to be on my “Best of” list but she is.

Best Actor

Joaquin Phoenix – Joker as Arthur Fleck / Joker To me, there was no question Joaquin Phoenix would take this one. I saw Joker three times and each time, I found something new in his performance.

Best Director

Sam Mendes – 1917 With this award, I’m awarding Sam Mendes for the craft he displayed in 1917. It’s such a visceral experience that when people asked me how it compared to Dunkirk, it felt weird to lump both together. This is coming from someone who gave both pictures a 5-star review, who put both on their respective “best of the year” lists. It’s a movie I’m going to go back to and wondering “how did they do that?!

Best Picture

Little Women – Amy Pascal It’s a tough call for me this year, partially because I loved Parasite, 1917, Joker, and others so much. I’m planning on adding those three films to my collection so I can pop them into my Blu-ray player any times I feel like it. That said, I would’ve given the Best Picture Award to Little Women. You’re so emotionally invested in this little story that telling you why with merely words is impossible. You fall in love over and over. It made me cry and every time I think back to that scene at Christmas, I tear up again. I’m choosing it because of all the things it does differently from the other films. At the end of the day, it isn’t a big story. It isn’t about people with guns, corruption, war, a turning point in history or even necessarily the biggest event in the lives of the characters but it feels like it is. That’s exactly why it’s so good. 

Disagree with my choices? I don’t blame you. What kind of idiot finds a way to leave out Marriage Story from their list? You let me know where it should’ve gone. Hopefully, commenting keep you warm until MY Best of 2019 list gets posted in the next few days.
