Why don’t you just pronounce it “gee-eye-eff”?

I saw it this afternoon. I thought it was enjoyable, but for a film meant to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary, I was expecting more.

They were supposed to play the “Once Upon a Studio” short in front of Wish, but for whatever reason there was no short.

Chris Pine was excellent as King Magnifico, I was disappointed that he didn’t get much screentime. I was frustrated that Valentino (the goat) didn’t have much to do in the film, and you could remove him from the plot and it would make very little difference. Asha seemed like a nice, funny, dorky kid, but the plot made her seem selfish, and made Magnifico seem completely justified in his decision.

I thought the animation looked…okay. It’s cel-shaded CGI, but it feels like it doesn’t really commit to the style. It mostly feels like any recent Disney animated film but with an added filter. I heard rumors that the film would also be animated in 2D, but that seemed to be reserved for the special effects such as Magnifico’s green magic (or whatever it was called).

I enjoyed the musical numbers, especially “Welcome to Rosas”, “This is The Thanks I Get?!”, and “Knowing What I Know Now”. However, some songs like “This Wish” and “You’re a Star” feel like the songwriters were cramming in too many words (for example “So I make this wish/to have something more for us than this” could have been shortened to “to have something more than this”).

I also heard rumors that every Disney animated character would appear, but unfortunately that’s not the case. There are a few references to other films here and there (and Peter Pan himself has a cameo at the end). I expected the end credits to go all-out on the crossover element (because early screening reactions on social media said to sit through the credits) but it was just a series of constellations in the shape of Disney characters (they even referenced Home on the Range, Chicken Little and Strange World, considered to be some of Disney’s worst animated films!) The whole movie just felt like a wasted opportunity.

In conclusion: if you want to watch a movie with stylized 3D animation about a wishing star, go see Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

ISO 8601 format is the best (YYYY-MM-DD).

Americans of Lemmy, what is your approach to next year's election?

2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision...

It can be easy to feel like a drop of water in a large ocean when it comes to national elections. But you should also vote in your county and state elections; you can probably make more of a difference there.

I’m not saying “don’t vote in the national election”, but just know that there are other elections to vote in, and thry are just as important as the nationals.

This is amazing. Do you have any more pictures of the theater?

The SAG-AFTRA strike ended literally the day before it was released. Talk about irony.

Not only that, but also the producer who forced Sam Raimi to include Venom in Spider-Man 3, and who is responsible for all those Sony/Marvel movies (including Morbius).

When YOU post something on the Internet, it will stay there forever and ever.

I just started being more conscious of my body and how I clean it. Showered more frequently and used more deodorant. Now, going commando is the norm for me and I barely even think about underwear anymore.

We know it’s ad-free and zero cost, but will it be DRM-free as well?

X runs ‘timeline takeover’ ad promoting anti-trans film (techcrunch.com)

Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar. As part of a “timeline takeover” — which gives advertisers “priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day” — conservative media nonprofit PragerU is promoting the hashtag “#DETRANS” to...

I’ve also heard people call it “Twitter, desperately trying to be known as X”.

I can definitely see video game adaptations being the next big thing, with the successes of Sonic the Hedgehog, The Last of Us, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Gran Turismo, and Five Nights at Freddy’s.

While we’re on the topic, can anyone recommend some good RISC-V computers? It seems interesting and I’d like to try it out.

You know how Ctrl+F helps you find specific words in browsers? I want that in real life.

Maybe some special glasses with this ability built-in?

Huge win for 2D animation fans.

My favorite part was when DiCaprio’s character said “So, that’s it? We’re some kinda Killers of the Flower Moon?” Then the entire audience cheered.

I wouldn’t recommend the swiss cheese movie. It has a lot of plot holes.

Do they still play using the blink tag?

Another good one would have been “The Promised LAN”.

I’ll do you one better: do you pronounce it SATA or SATA?
