I watched that movie a week or so ago. Very funny.

the American VFX industry is completely dead, and I'm thinking animation will follow in the next two years.

Rumor has it that Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Incendies, Ennemy, Maelström...) will direct a sequel to Blade Runner next year.

So apparently Blomkamp tweeted that he is doing an "Aliens" reboot and will ignore Aliens 3 and Resurrection.

Isn't there a "Prometheus" sequel in the works as well?

If this is "American animation", I say good riddance. Movies like Song of the Sea (which I'll be checking out tomorrow) and The Tale of Princess Kaguya are still coming out, so I'm fine.

Zach Braff might be my least favorite artist of any genre ever.

There are a lot of incredible American animated films out there (dreamworks admittedly being the worst of lot). Its loss, not to mention the job losses and brain drain, would suck.

I love song of the sea and secret of kells, but I'm not sure I want everything to look like that.

I need to reread the article when I'm not a work and can focus beyond skimming. But this might be something worth discussing. Because I don't see what distinction the author is trying to make, really. This obsession with further breaking down a genre into a sub-genre is disturbing, has been for a long time. And it seems that that specific need to do so is what has created the "problem" in the author's central thesis.

These are comedies. Quirky is a flaccid descriptor. And a maybe a kind of cop-out. But I need to read it again and really think about it.

3D animation just doesn't do it for me compared to cell, but I understand I'm in the vast minority on that one.

Meh. Nothing matches the near-hallucinatory beauty of good cell animation to me. Sometimes I think it's the single most beautiful artform man has created.

Laika may not be perfect, but my ass will be in the seat for anything they put out right now.
