Eddie, you haven't made an argument, you've made an assumption.

Three assumptions, in fact. The first is assuming how the scene was meant to be, and the second is assuming you are correct. The third is assuming it's the fault of the director, if indeed there is a fault there at all.

p.s. I think she was awoken by a drip, then looked over and saw the alien snoring and was like "Oh god, first the drip, now this"

no there isn't as demonstrated above

You are correct, I did make an assumption but I did not intend to categorise my assumption as fact.

Allow me to clarify my position; I strongly suspect that there was a misinterpretation of the script during the filming of that scene.  I don't know for a fact as to whether this was the case or not but I'm inclined to believe that it is.  If there was indeed a miscommunication or misunderstanding, then I don't know who would be responsible for that, it could be an assistant director or such, but I would imagine that the law of averages would suggest either Gareth Edwards (director) or Tony Gilroy (director of reshoots) was responsible.  That's if the theory is correct, which is impossible to verify without having access to a copy of the shooting script.

According to your not-very-scientific methods, the liquid is black.  Back to the lab with you and your Junior Science Kit, methinks.

Pixar's best films were probably made in spite of Disney rather than because of them, but I guess their support - of a sort - is something to be thankful for.

Sorry to interrupt the flirtatious madhair/eddie dance-off, but I would like to seriously say thank you to Disney because as a little boy I had a book about all the Disney characters and used to trace them on grease proof paper and then rub the other side with a pencil and it would look like I'd drawn it. I am now an excellent cartoonist and I trace (heh) it all back to those days in the kitchen carefully copying over Disney drawings.

Sorry to interrupt the flirtatious madhair/eddie dance-off...

Hey, green... black... oranges are not the only fruit.

[madhair60]

Thank you, Disney, for making totally AIDS remakes that only increase my appreciation for the original movies you're arse-raping.

[Glebe]

I know they're an evil zillionaire corporation and Uncle Walt probably had some dodgy views and they threw lemmings off a cliff, but I remember going to re-releases of The Jungle Book and 101 Dalmatians (original animated films, not the live-action ones, OBVIOUSLY!) and just being in heaven, wonderful memories.

Don't mean to glib about animal cruelty, RE: lemmings, just using off-the-cuff CaB chat, natch.

[Urinal Cake]

Thank You, Disney/Miramax for Chungking Express etc.

[jobotic]

This is the best argument thread I've read in a while, hats off.


I reckon the pig in Moana was meant to have more of a sidekick role but they decided against it. He never leaves the island! Don't know why he's in it really. I'm pretty sure about this and have extensive research notes so I'd be wary of making any counter arguments if I were you.

[Dex Sawash]

The pig does his own stunts, he nearly drowned in the first reef crossing scene. They rewrote his part to a lesser role in response because Disney cares about people and animals.

[Shaky]

Disneyland Paris (as it was called when I went in 1993) was fucking great, so thanks Disney.

Thanks also for Touchstone Films/Pictures, purveyor of many fine films during the heyday of VHS.

Thanks for The Dark Cauldron as well.

Thanks!

[Hey, Punk!]

Stop liking Disney please, it bad.

[Glebe]

Thanks for The Dark Cauldron as well.

The Black Cauldron, surely? I've never seen it, but I had a bit of an obsession with it as a kid cos some cereal had free tie-in plastic figures in special packs!

[Brundle-Fly]

Thanks for your live-action comedy films from the 60s and 70s.

Especially this gem.

The animation's not great (lots of Flintstoney loops), but as a comedy Robin Hood works surprisingly well. 'specially anything involving Sir Hiss.

I remember little polystyrene characters from the film Willow in boxes of Shredded Wheat or something.  Just flat pictures of them and maybe they had a little stand.  Funny how shite like that makes you absolutely fixate on stuff as a kid.

Was Willow of Disney descent?  If so bravo, Disney!!  You made a film I saw featuring Warwick Davies!!

A ton of recycled character animation too.

Good movie though.  It's one of my childhood favourites.

Oh, wow!  I'd completely forgotten about this but as soon as you mentioned it, it all came flooding back.

EDIT: A quick Google image search reveals that it was a Kellogg's Corn Flakes promotion...
