#Pom Poko was excruciatingly long and just a narrative mess and just had so much genital humor i did not care for | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

alright, now that we've finished the DCEU watch, let's pick up where we left off with Studio Ghibli, and get this Takahata movie over with so i can move on to movies by directors whose work i actually enjoy (though who knows, maybe this will actually be the first Takahata movie i actually like even though i hate his aesthetic choices in every movie of his so far and i don't like how he tells stories). now seated for My Neighbors The Yamadas (1999). know nothing, as usual, and thankfully this is under 2 hours so at least it'll be over quick.

#james talks #james watches stuff #my neighbors the yamadas #my neighbors the yamadas (1999)#isao takahata #studio ghibli #sorry if i sound like i'm already hating i promise i'm not but i'm bracing for the worst bc i literally haven't liked any of his work so far #even GotF which i think is his most competent movie so far is so ugly to look at every time there's a closeup like idk what to tell you.#i do not like the man's aesthetic choices and priorities #Pom Poko was excruciatingly long and just a narrative mess and just had so much genital humor i did not care for #and Only Yesterday is bafflingly structured and wishes it could be as good as Ocean Waves #anyway i am genuinely gonna give this a fair shot but i don't expect i'm gonna like it much lol bc the trend hasn't changed much #and if you're curious about my full thoughts on the rest the letterboxd is in the bio
