There's something about hearing your favourite movie is bad, then watching it and confirming that everyone else is wrong

This is the funniest thing I've seen all day. I can't even be mad

Honestly I’ll never forgive the Maleficent movie for making the good fairies bumbling idiots and the King into a metaphorical rapist all to make Maleficent look better.
i think aurora’s lack of screen time warrants a sequel rather than a rewrite of the og film because three middle-aged to elderly women being the protagonists who save the day is just too good

"rule of cool" is nearly always better than "wow this makes so much sense" in media and we all used to have that opinion until social media and cinema sins turned yall into whiny dorks

I dislike how cultural impact is used as a metric in determining if a piece of art is 'better' than another. Culturally resonant art doesn't automatically outrank its more insular counterparts.

Sometimes you watch a film you wish you made. The Incredibles is that film for me

No one can convince me that Brother Bear is a bad film, I'm sorry

Misogyny, colourism, menicisetal statetism, cankerous tribalism, ethnocentric chauvinism, syphilitic parochialism, epileptic nepotism, cataleptic parapoism and state brigandish, of the bluest dye.
Love island Nigeria?? We’re about to see misogyny we have never seen before 😭

I think one of the reasons I enjoyed Weapons so much was because I'd managed my expectations when it came out. There's something about a film being hyped so much that increases the backlash it gets

Every time I hear the words "What will we eat tomorrow" @Ojieka_Oko short film comes viscerally to my mind. A beautiful work of art. A haunting conclusion. I cannot wait for it to grace your screens

Growing up and finding out this is considered a bad film was quite humbling
Today marks the 23rd anniversary of 'Brother Bear'. An Alaska native boy named Kenai pursues a bear and kills it, but the Spirits, incensed by this unnecessary death, change Kenai into a bear himself as punishment.

So apparently, today's #InternationalAnimationDay , and I figure this is a good a day as any to remind y'all that I am in fact an animator, and grace y'all with a clip from my animated short film, About Sarah. Male voice from @bou_jeee . The female VA isn't on here.

The thing I dislike about "Who had a better verse" discourse is a lot of the time it's a ploy to tear someone down disguised as healthy debate …
