“Galactus is awesome. Silver Surfer looks really, really good. VFX were often immaculate,” Davis wrote. “Cosmically and on Earth, Matt Shakman dropped a visual feast.”

Currently starting the Leviathan anime on Netflix. I am a massive fan of the book series, it’s an alternate history of WW1 but it does keep a lot of details of the overall conflict true to real history but changes the specifics (allied forces use genetic driven technology vs central powers use mechs and similar tech). I’m maybe not even 5 minutes into the show so i can’t speak of how good it is yet but from what i’ve seen i have hopes it’ll be good.

From the article:
FantasticFour Is a masterpiece. the visual effects and the score are a HUGE stand out. Galactus Is huge In IMAX. It’s emotional and gives you hope. It beats you off and doesn’t stop. STAY Until the END CREDITS.” – Deo (@frickyuu)

Thanks for the warning! I’ll probably give that a miss though.

I don’t know much about the plot or whether the movie will be much good overall, but last week I had the opportunity to get a very up-close look at H.E.R.B.I.E. (including being able to read the funny fine-print on the legal-disclaimer product usage labels on his rear body panels) and really appreciate the retro-future design choices, such as the reel-to-reel magnetic tape mechanism that serves as his “eyes.”

One of the warnings on those stickers reminded me of the “Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball®” bit from that SNL sketch.

I remember seeing some of the Herbie movies when I was a kid.

The Zero Theorem, by Terry Gilliam, and if you’ve ever seen some of his movies then you know to not know what to expect.

One of the fun exchanges:

You having fun?

Excuse us.

Are you having a good time?

Uh, approximately.

Mood.

Seems like getting old would be pretty boring. Old people, they just, they do the same thing day after day after day. Like listening to the same song over and over and over.

Yeah? Maybe it’s a good song.

Same.

Are you real or are you just in my mind?

It doesn’t matter at all.

n this archival recording from 2013, visionary filmmaker Guillermo del Toro joins TIFF Programmer Noah Cowan on stage for an intimate and wide-ranging conversation about legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki. This talk was held in conjunction with a special screening of Castle in the Sky - projected on film, no less - del Toro’s personal favourite among Miyazaki’s films. With his trademark passion and insight, del Toro explores what sets Miyazaki apart from his peers. The conversation touches on the unique emotional and visual language of Studio Ghibli, the profound influence of anime on western storytellers, and the deeper philosophical currents running through Miyazaki’s work.
