Toy Story 5

Hasn’t Toy Story ended like twice already?

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 51 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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.

manhattan

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

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.

Stoked at my future toys featuring a mandatory cock

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.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 36 points 1 week ago

Mfw capitalists "invent" edging like they invented "quiet quitting"

[–] VibeCoder@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Bay_of_Piggies@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe they meant The Dawn of Everything, his final book.

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

that would make more sense, they probably meant that yeah

[–] VibeCoder@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

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.

also the Toriyama Effect

[–] SovietBeerTruckOperator@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I was with them up till 3. 3 had the best emotional closure.

[–] Cat_Daddy@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] tim_curry@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

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?

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 40 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No more sequels. If someone wants to make a sequel we should kill them immediately

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mfw moss would kill the Soviet Union 2: Soyuz Driftz

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

Yeah, best we can do is the United States of Soviet Russia

Counterpoint: Terminator 2

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Aliens, Terminator 2, Empire strikes Back, Evil Dead 2, Road Warrior, I could go on. Slop peaks with 2.

[–] Cat_Daddy@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Ah, but counter counter point: The Matrix 2

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Cat_Daddy@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not as good as the first, and 3 is worse still.

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think the first Matrix is clearly the best Matrix movie ... but I also think the whole trilogy is still a fun romp overall.

[–] Cat_Daddy@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

I can agree with that

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

Shit, you got me there.

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?

[–] fox@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

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

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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 doomjak

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Gatto

I had been hoping for a Gattica sequel

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

gattoca and it's gattaca with cats

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

extremely tall cat from leg lengthening surgery

[–] uSSRI@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Moonstruck_Theorist@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

Mr. President, it is time to force Pixar to rehire John Lasseter.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Incredibles was Pixar? Why did I think it was Dreamworks?

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

It was a parody/making fun of superheroes and 1960s scifi/spy stuff, usually it's Dreamworks who parodies/makes fun of stuff.
