    I watched the film The Forgotten War last night, and in a scene where the father pleads for leniency in a conversation with the Nazi officer not to execute his son, the daughter leans in and says to him “he’s just playing games with you.” I feel like a lot of us are playing their games right now.

    Just got back from seeing “The Forgotten Island”. Might be my favorite film of the year. Fun, beautiful, original, heartfelt.. Definitely worth seeing in a theater. Lotta laughs n tears, and some of the best, most diverse n dynamic CG animation I’ve ever seen in a mainstream animated film.

    Recreated the Forgotten Island poster but with @ajmarekart.bsky.social 's Murphy and Mitzi in it. Also it's been confirmed that the movie takes place in the early 2000s just like Murphy and Mitzi takes place in the early 2000s and they both feature 2 chaotic best friends.

    Back in 2021 I was hired to make a couple quick cartoon visuals for a documentary called "The Forgotten Artist" about film production during the COVID-19 pandemic. Didn't have too much time on my hands so a lot of it is very minimalist

    The Forgotten Island was already a stellar film, but it would be even better if it had been about Jo and Raissa trying (and failing) to lose their tonnage before Rai's flight to California.

    The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia A. McKillip. Although I'd love to see it as an anime film, not live action. I think it would have been the perfect book for Miyazaki to adapt. he would have created a masterpiece of animation with that story.

    Wanna highlight this movie. Cos I feel like in western countries, Marxists don't talk enough about what imperialist and genocidal western liberal democracies did to Laos. Or what the Laotian Socialists and Communists accomplished fighting western imperialists. The Forgotten War is an amazing movie.

    The Shadow in My Eye (aka The Bombardment on Ntflx) is a recent #Danish film built around an event in WW2. The Forgotten Battle (Ntflx) is a recent #Dutch film built around an event in WW2. The perspectives of these two films are long overdue. Clumsy fatal mistakes contrast the occasional joy.

A movie can look as fantastically made as it can, but the moment a controversy happens, no matter if its resolved or not, completely ruins the movie for me. Never really cared tbh

    Since the Forgotten Island Mystery Movie was not advertised as a “Family Fun” mystery movie like Shaun the Sheep was… I can expect a bunch of walkouts like what people reported when they showed Spy X Family’s movie as one. Which is funny, because they failed to see this scene.
