This has been making the rounds today. It’s a lovely piece of work by editor Leandro Copperfield, who spent 11 days watching all the Pixar films.
I’ve said it before, but Pixar is responsible for a simply unprecedented achievement in the history of mass entertainment. I can’t think of any filmmaker, or group of filmmakers, who have ever achieved this sustained level of consistent creativity, critical respect, and commercial success — all while having a distinctly human, even personal, stamp. Somebody needs to study what they’re up to closely. Clearly they’re doing something right that goes beyond simply the considerable talents of the individuals involved. Even the most greatest filmmakers so far have all made turkeys from time to time. Why not Pixar?
I’m not saying this is brilliant, but considering that it kinda sorta combines the sensibilities of AMC’s two most popular shows right now, there’s clearly a market.
H/t to Shock ‘Till You Drop.
My hurried blogging for today continues with two of those gosh-darned Hitler/”Downfall” videos I stumbled over. Yes, I never get enough of the things though I encourage you all to check the very serious actual film directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel and starring Bruno Ganz, with the correct subtitles
I like to think of these as yet one more delightful aspect of the world’s victory over Hitler and Nazism in 1945.
Holiday frivolity and actual labor has me hellaciously hurried today, so the chatter will be minimal.
If John Cameron Mitchell’s upcoming “Rabbit Hole” doesn’t fulfill your acclaimed-yet-underrated-filmmaker dealing with a couple dealing with the death of a child needs, then here is Don Roos (“The Opposite of Sex”) taking on the topic in “The Other Woman.”
H/t Deadline.
