Toy Story 5
Hasn’t Toy Story ended like twice already?
The year is 1995, I am watching Toy Story complete its narrative arc.
The year is 1999, I am watching Toy Story complete its narrative arc.
The year is 2010, I am watching Toy Story complete its narrative arc.
The year is 2019, I am watching Toy Story complete its narrative arc.
in the year 2029, toystory 14 will be about toys who talk a lot of shit about race, and do sexual violence. donald trump will complain it is too woke, ask where the hitler toy is, and sign an executive order mandating toys have two genders
Stoked at my future toys featuring a mandatory cock
Tbf, I would like to see a doll of that guy get experimented on and ultimately destroyed by Sid. It’d be funny to me the same way I enjoy Great Patriotic War films full of Brits and Americans making large amounts of Nazis explode or otherwise die horribly.
I call it the “denial loop”, where a creator in a capitalist system keeps saying “this is the last one” but then keeps getting made to do more.
Mfw capitalists “invent” edging like they invented “quiet quitting”
Can’t remember the exact Graeber quote, but it’s something like, “Once you’ve had success, the system will conspire to make sure you do nothing else ever again.”
I believe he was speaking about how his success with Bullshit Jobs almost precluded him from moving on to Debt.
I believe he was speaking about how his success with Bullshit Jobs almost precluded him from moving on to Debt.
i can’t speak to whence graeber said that, but it is not possible that his success with BS Jobs precluded him from moving on to Debt, as Debt was published long before.
Maybe they meant The Dawn of Everything, his final book.
that would make more sense, they probably meant that yeah
I could have been wrong about the context in either direction. I’ve heard him say it multiple times during his talks. Might have been his Google talk?
for sure, i think i’ve also heard him say that before. i was just being unnecessarily pedantic about his publication order. you’re all good.
The Kojima Principle
also the Toriyama Effect
I was with them up till 3. 3 had the best emotional closure.
It was a canonical ending, like what the hell. I boycotted 4 out of anger.
Yeah I felt like 3 was the end of the story. Not as good as 1 and 2 imo, but it was enjoyable and a nice way to end the story at a time when those who grew up with it were entering adulthood. But then they make 4, which I didn’t see but I think it gives some sort of closure to the story a second time.
Have we hit the arc where Andy buys all of his toys off eBay again to recapture a sense of nostalgia in the crumbling capitalist hellscape?
No more sequels. If someone wants to make a sequel we should kill them immediately
Mfw moss would kill the Soviet Union 2: Soyuz Driftz
Yeah, best we can do is the United States of Soviet Russia
Counterpoint: Terminator 2
Aliens, Terminator 2, Empire strikes Back, Evil Dead 2, Road Warrior, I could go on. Slop peaks with 2.
Ah, but counter counter point: The Matrix 2
Matrix 2 is good.
Not as good as the first, and 3 is worse still.
I think the first Matrix is clearly the best Matrix movie … but I also think the whole trilogy is still a fun romp overall.
I can agree with that
Shit, you got me there.

It’s going to be a retcon of Bug’s Life where they are good guys akchually

Toy Story 5
Incredibles 3
WHY
🤑
Me, crawling out of my cave and raising my arms in a futile attempt to block out the harsh sunlight: There was a Toy Story 4?
Yeah they go to a roadie carnival or something and there’s like a toy made out of pipe cleaners and a plastic fork or something
Forget “muh hire fans”. How about porky tries hiring out-of-network?
There are so many stories poor people would be more than happy to tell. Like no really, you will NEVER run out of content. But the insistence on only hiring their rich friends is one of the many reasons why so many studios go stale.
Shame too, because Pixar is still a pretty cool studio: Daddy Catmull invented 3d animation as we know it and can really tell some inspiring stories. Wall-E aging like fine wine.
EDIT: I stand corrected, horribly HORRIBLY corrected
I’m sorry. That’s sort of the opposite of what happened. The current pixar brain trust largely worked their way to where they are from bekng storyboard artists, animators and/or interns, a lot of them are immigrants or grew up with immigrant backgrounds. The creative lead of pixar is pretty much as close to your imagined scenario as you can get under capitalism and they fucking suck.
The people with the money want a safe return on their investment. The Pixar stockholders are the ones that get to decide whether Pixar takes risks or whether they just churn out endless sequels. And sequels have 47% more brand recognition and 38% higher chance of return on investment.
Pixar always was kinda of a shit company, they kicked out/sidelined women while having sexual offenders like john lasseter as their chief creative officer.
Gatto
I had been hoping for a Gattica sequel
gattoca and it’s gattaca with cats
extremely tall cat from leg lengthening surgery
The hair vacuuming scenes would just never end. Throwing up a hairball then panicking and trying to replace it with one made by just swallowing fistful after fistful of the other cats hair.
Ok, actually now we are cooking. Now we have a movie.
I didn’t think my big nose boy could do it but he’s finally got his own movie
None of these squeals are merited
Mr. President, it is time to force Pixar to rehire John Lasseter.
Incredibles was Pixar? Why did I think it was Dreamworks?
It was a parody/making fun of superheroes and 1960s scifi/spy stuff, usually it’s Dreamworks who parodies/makes fun of stuff.
