"No one can save you this time Freakazoid!"

for one, I love that he has to push through all the guns he's pointed at Freakazoid.

and two Lobe is actually voiced by the late David Warner (rest in peace)! They had a LOT of connections to a bunch of notable actors (who played their parts really well! Helped by that I believe the cast would somewhat tailor the characters to how the vas played them over time and also in terms of how they... developed over the two seasons) thanks to Steven speilburg. according to one of the behind the scenes things they had a competition to see who can get the most... i believe it was obscure person on their show vs whatever celebrities were on animaniacs

and that's how we got norm abram on the last episode of the show

Me: Rocky Horror Picture Show is a Halloween movie just like Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

Himbo: (giggling) Oh my god, I just heard the sound of you pushing glasses up your nose.

"I have another thought once you're done Steven Speilburging my life on Tumblr..."

[a-tale-never-told]

A Speilburg fan huh? Then have you seen Schafrillias' video ranking all his movies? If so, what are your thoughts on it?

//I've seen it before, and I do believe he made some pretty valid points and criticisms regarding Spielberg's notoriously filmography, considering that ranking all of Steven Spielberg's movies would' honestly be an in-depth analysis within of itself, and I'm already starting to feel fatigued after watching and spending an endless amount of time watching these movies, so that's an analysis which will be created sometime in the possible future.

//While I mostly agree with Schafrillas's judgment about the films and his astute reasoning as to why they're ranked in the positions that they are located in, and Schindler's List wholeheartedly deserved to be placed as the greatest and finest work Speilberg's ever made in his entire career as a director and producer, I disagreed with him when it came to his reviewing of the Indiana Jones franchise, as well as some other particular entries on his list, but I'll mainly focus on reviewing his beliefs on Indiana Jones for tonight because I'm feeling drained out due to typing the story chapter.

//Don't get my intentions wrong, I'd mostly agree with him in terms of the rankings of these movies and why they're placed at the ranking, to begin with. However, his reasoning and explanatory statements about why these films have problematic issues are rather baffling and downright bizarre at the worst opportunity of times.

//For example, during his review of Indiana Jones And The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, he states that the majority of the first half of the film was pretty spectacular in the sense that it brought back a feeling of nostalgia for Indiana Jones fans who wanted to experience that feeling once the original trilogy had concluded, and I surely cannot disagree with that.

//However, when he mentioned that the opening scene of the film was a strong part that hooked us into the story, I frowned in dismay, because I realized that he left out on one of the more significant issues in this movie and that the entirety of the open act plainly doesn't make sense when you're given the full, detailed, and reasonable context of how this scene plays.

//Given that almost half of my followers don't understand much historical knowledge, allow me to elaborate on that statement. Since the setting is based on the backdrop of the Cold War, the high-intensity, mutually embittered hatred, conflict between The United States and Soviet Russia, the notion of Irina Spalko and her troops infiltrating a US Army base in Nevada, disguised as US servicemen to obtain and capture Indiana, was absolutely nonsensical to me.

//Any plausible believably for the story was automatically lost for me once I watched that particular scene. If this occurred in a more grounded, realistic setting, World War 3 would've almost certainly happened, and, likely, the entirety of the storyline for this movie wouldn't have happened, as they'd all just get bombarded by the sheer amount of shockwaves and radium coming from the nuclear arsenal of both the Soviet Union and the USA, respectively.

//I'd promptly like to remind an entire portion of you that both America and the Soviets have unlimited resources and endless access to nuclear weaponry and technology, and it's very plausible that they would've eliminated each other within seconds if information regarding this blatant disregard of international law was breached. Yet the opening scene somehow ignores the political consequences and ramifications that could result from a situation like this, and instead forsakes realism for the sake of creating an awesome opening.

//It's not that you're unable to write this scene and let it transition intentionally the way you want it to function, but there's gotta be a sense of realistic writing and certainly a clear understanding of the extending consequences and problems that might arise from situations to make a scene like this work, which this film obviously didn't learn, and I felt weirdly confused as to why Schafrillas left that gigantic plot point out of the review.

//Another key issue I have is with his criticisms of Raiders Of the Lost Ark, and his statements that the film wasn't as character-motivated or directly driven towards fleshing out their characterization. Now, I'm not one of those blind, Raiders fanboys who constantly dismiss any valid critiques of the movie as "heresy, because I've watched the movie, and while I do think that it's an undisputed classic that's worth a rewatch, I strongly have a belief that objectively speaking, Last Crusade is the overall more compelling Indiana Jones film to me.

//Schafrillas, unfortunately, seems to neglect the amount of character depth Raiders made within an hour's worth of runtime. While I solemnly believe that compared to the Last Crusade, Raider's methods of handling characterization were a bit underwhelming, considering that Indy's portrayal in Raiders does come off as generally simplistic, but what he honestly failed to realize is that Raiders had a fair share of character depth, despite it not being that relevant.

//In the first act of the film, we'd got to establish the character's personalities and their motivations for wanting to discover the Ark Of The Covenant, though I felt it should've been executed a little better than what we ended up with. Indy and Marion's motivations for recovering the Ark could be interpreted as trying to preserve such a sacred, holy, artifact from falling into the hands of the Nazis, but also wanting to avenge the death of Abner Ravenwood, Marion's father, whom the Nazis presumably killed once they got all of the valuable information from him.

//And Belloq's motivations for wanting to obtain the Ark for himself and only aligning himself with the Nazis simply because they'd already started searching for the Ark, and Belloq needed them for knowledge on how to locate it can be perfectly seen as a believable motivation for his actions, though I sadly wished they'd flesh him out more as a three-dimensional character than they did in the actual film, aside from a few scenes where he truly establishes himself with some iconic one-liners and great scenes.

//I do agree with Schafrilla's assessment that compared to the Last Crusade, Raider's characterization and in-depth writing of the characters and complex motivations of the antagonists don't feel as narratively impactful to me as Last Crusade was, but he neglected crucial scenes that depict some fair amount of character writing when it's shown, like with Indy and Marion's tumultuous relationship or Belloq and Indy conversating with each other over their mutual interest in archeology.

//I'm not saying that Raiders is an objectively weak movie because it's quite the opposite of what I'm trying to say here, but compared to the absolute near-masterpiece that was Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade, it could've done better in regards to handling it's characterization and character writing, aside from Sallah, who's the character with the most enjoyable writing in the film^^

The way ads go these days, like literally anywhere, I sometimes think about the CEO in Ready Player One and how they (being the writers and Steven Speilburg) very specifically made him that way like ‘Oh only x percentage of people will have a seizure but it’ll be FINE because MONEY’ if the company he’s in charge of got the OASIS. And the entire thing in the scene was ‘We’ll put ads all over the users POV in the OASIS’. Literally cover their screen in ads. 

Like they very purposefully made this guy an ass, an out of touch ass. Now I doubt the people in charge of the studio that made the film got that, but literally everyone else involved in the production and the film’s audience got that. They even put a scene in the film where the ass gets arrested for being well, a corporate ass. And its CHEERED that he gets arrested. 

You are literally routing the entire time in this film for this guy to get his, and for once we actually get the entitled out of touch douchebag getting his. Speilberg and the writers knew what they were doing.

It's Been a Universal Week with The Fabelmans on Home Video

In this late review, we examine why the minidoc in this #homevideo release of #TheFabelmans matters. Everything offered is terrific prime us for why we love #movies and for #theoscars coming soon!

Available to purchase on Amazon USA Universal Studios Steven Speilburg’s The Fabelmans can be enjoyed on home video and before The Oscars! Even after the fourth watch, I feel this movie will earn more than one award, and it’s easy to see why. I’ve seen this on the big screen and small now, and honestly, I’d rather favour the former because of everything this film represents. Not only can I relive…

im just gonna say right now

avatar and steven speilburg are gonna steal the 2023 oscars

Considering James Cameron spent a decade perfecting the visuals of the new avatar I think anyone in the academy who doesn’t vote for him is getting a horse head in their bed

Spielbergs likely gonna get something because there’s nothing the academy loves more than stories about film makers because it makes them feel special but without really knowing what all is coming down the pike I can’t say for certain it’ll be a sweep

Sia really tried to get Maddie to turn down West Side Story at first, claims she showed Steven Speilburg Music and he said Maddie should win an Oscar for it, leading to her role being increased

I think my favourite kind of movie on the earth are movies I call “Kids? Movies”. They’re those movies, usually made in the 80s or 90s that like, they’re not inappropriate per se, and you could show them to a kid even thought that’s not the target demographic, but they also go off the rails one or two times.

They’re not so heavy that a kid will lose interest, they’re not so raunchy a parent would have to shoo the little ones away, and they’re not so horrific they’ll scare a kid. (That last one is subjective, ofc. Some kids were watching Stephen King adaptations at 3)

But like, suddenly, it’s really edgy in some way or other.

Like Indiana Jones. I’d show that to a child. It’s pretty tame until the tail end and the nazis get their faces melted off, and the second film has human sacrifice and child slaves. Still, this franchise is heavily marketed towards children. There’s Lego sets, video games, Halloween costumes and all that.

Back To The Future is an awesome sci-fi time travel flick. Great film to watch with the whole family. It also gets accidentally incesty. The second film has some murder.

Jurassic Park literally has a ride at Universal Studios that has like 48 inch height limit. And a playground iirc. This is a movie that is pg-13 in America and shows people getting eaten alive. There’s a literal on screen animal carcass. Children are in mortal peril on multiple occasions. At the Universal gift shop they sell toy dinosaurs and clothes in children’s sizes.

Maybe this one was a misjudgement on my mothers part, but Beetlejuice is great for a morbid little tyke. It had a Saturday morning cartoon adaptation. Also titular character gives sexual remarks to Barbara, tries to marry a high schooler, and says fuck.

Gremlins is really hard to place. It’s a borderline horror movie with its fair share of onscreen death and some pretty gross special effects. Yet there were toys made for it, stuffed animals, a robotic Gizmo (and unless this is just something my nightmares created, a furby?). It was rated pg at release, and a lot of kids saw it, but it’s also the reason pg-13 exists.

Robocop was literally rated R. It’s a pretty rough movie at times, and it’s got its fair share of death. Yet, they made action figures and a cartoon of it.

Star Wars gets pretty heavy at times, since it is about a resistance movement, it isn’t gonna be all sunshine and rainbows. It’s got its share of death, dismemberment and disfigurement. It’s been a hit with kids since day one. More modern films do tend to cater towards the younger fans, I think? (I’ve only seen the old ones) But I don’t believe that was the original intention.

Most of these movies are some of my favourite movies of all time. I find it fascinating how much they toe the line of adult appeal and child appeal. It’s not something you see so much these days. If a movie is popular with kids and adults, it’s usually just a children’s movie with an auxiliary fan base. The only thing that gets like that is maybe Marvel movies. Kids love superheroes, and love superhero movies, but I die inside at the thought of an 8 year old watching Infinty War, a movie that made grown ass adults cry. I’m pretty sure that would ruin a child.

I also noticed a lot of them are made by Steven Speilburg and George Lucas, who aren’t making very many original films in the same vein anymore. They’ve either moved on to new more adult aimed projects, or continuing older franchises. That may have a part in it. Just a thought

"Maaa... hi... aloooha lady in the dresss...."

they really did just... go off animating all of this-- i can slightly hear paul rugg trying not to die of laughter while recording this.

then again i suppose that's what having a budget in the 90s sponsored by steven speilburg will get you.

//Franz is honestly such a well-written and effective antagonist, as he's supposed to embody and epitomize how terrifying and dreadful people like him are, how he constantly manipulates others into unknowing trusting him thanks to his charming and affable personality, how he certainly could be a metaphorical shadow amongst the wind with his frequent appearances that have the audience in sheer terror at what will occur next, if he's even standing over them, gleefully taking pleasure in their horrified states.

//One moment, he can be polite, charismatic, and delightful to hold a conversation with, and the next encounter you have with him, he's smirking to himself knowing that he committed or was subsequently involved in something, possibly altering some valuable pieces of evidence during an investigation, just to cause more complications and create discord between the rest of the cast.

//I frankly believe that I'm pretty incredible and talented when it comes to writing suspenseful moments in the story, as I'm apparently so skilled and effective when it comes to writing dramatic suspense and overall tension into the narrative, I haven't even gotten one criticism in regards to the lack of a suspenseful, intimidating tone. In reality, quite the opposite happened as I'm receiving genuine praise for my ability to write exceptional build-ups and create a fearful atmosphere, to the point where we're making comparisons to Alfred Hitchcock of all people.

//If that's not a testament to how extraordinary and special the writing for the Franz scenes is, then I believe I've truly mastered the suspenseful parts of the arc, though I'm nowhere near comparable to Hitchcock, as he writes the feelings of tension far better in my opinion.

//I'm just a regular history nerd who surprisingly excels in writing suspenseful scenes. If anything, I idolize Steven Speilburg massively for his uncanny ability to write good storytelling, as exemplified by the Indiana Jones franchise, Saving Private Ryan, and especially Schindler's List are some truly notable ones.

//I can only dream that someday, I'll be a SpeilBurg-like writer, especially when it comes to Danganronpa characters.

👾

👾Do you believe in aliens? 

I very much do, though in the biological sense not the Steven Speilburg movie sense. The main universal life theory I believe is that Earth is the only current instance of multicelluar life, whether simply in our system or galaxy. I believe that though we may be the only multicellular/intelligent life within lightyears, there is a high likelihood of developing life close to us. NASA has sent several probes to study the moons of Jupiter, and of those 60+ moons, the moon Europa has the most likelihood for life. It has a layer of ice underneath which is an amount of heated liquid, some of which may hold the right carbon levels to support unicellular life outside of Earth. (ok sorry this is one of my Geek Topics lol)

I was writing the opening line of Bee Movie for a book title at work and I remembered one of its trailers and, as dumb as the movie turned out I think Steven Speilburg said something a ‘certain studio’ should listen to:
