― Lamp, Tuesday, 17 July 2012 07:00 (eleven years ago) link
I'm a little shocked by Where the Wind Blows' placing, I thought it would pick up some notice from the Threads discussion in the horror movies poll. On the other hand, I can see it being a niche character piece and it's not exactly in the canon - Grave of the Fireflies at 98 would amaze me as a comparison.
I will nonetheless go completely ape if The Wrong Trousers, with all of those handicaps, places outside the top 10 :)

― emil.y, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 21:24 (eleven years ago) link
Wings of Honneamise is great; there's such loving attention to detail in the construction of its alternate Earth, and it's amazing they managed to produce a big-budget sci-fi movie that's essentially a slow-tempo meditation on what drives humanity forward. It's kinda like a anime counterpart to 2001: Space Odyssey, except that it's not boring.

too low for Bimbo's Initiation!
I'm slightly less hardline about this as a principle than when I was 7. but in this specific case, Briggs is so warm and inviting at first, and (as in all his work) the audience is drawn in so much by how much of a hand-made, one-creator artifact each page and panel is, with the colour so splotched and unblended; and then the adaptation hurls all of that charm away with herky-jerky motions and smoothed-out character models with dead eyes and iirc a really stiff clash btwn flat-colour figures and immobile painted bgs.
UGH I just looked at the first minute or so on youtube to check my decades-old memory and opening with real news footage! having him read TV coverage in the newspaper? crossing back and forth btwn film and cartoon! COMPOSITING FILMED SKIES INTO CARTOON BGS! him on the bus where Jim is animated by one person or team, the teenage couple on the other side are obviously animated by an apprentice team, rocking that 30's bouncy motion, LOOPING one second's action even though they then move afterwards, and the couple up the back being non-animated part of the background UGH UGH UGH
The Snowman can fuck off too imo (actually I've never seen it. I did see the Irn-Bru ad that parodies it, on the internets, though.)

Kung Fu Panda is one where I spent some time reconsidering where to put it in the ballot - it's shiny and corporate and it has a terrible sequel, but on the other hand it's flawless for what it is, it's funny and fat-positive and a great Kung Fu film made by people who clearly love Kung Fu. That trailer, though, is terrible.

Just watched Coraline, pretty disappointed. It seemed so sparse, full of dead air or cursorily written lines like it was just a draft script. The music was similarly thin and the set pieces were just odd - the mouse circus was boring, the old actresses' mermaid & venus double act frankly bizarre. And the story was cut and pasted from a bunch of traditional fairy tales with no spark of its own.

On further reflection I think it just wasn't creepy or weird enough. Don't really know the age range of the book but this was firmly in young kids territory where it could have been closer to young adults; and having the entire film animated meant the other world never seemed other worldly; if the real world had been live action or even just done in a different style... would like an idea of what the book was like but bleugh.

the 3D handled this beautifully though - when she first looks out into the "other" backyard and the rear of the image just plummets away from you, and then the whole world stays so depth-enhanced for her whole adventure there
