Running out of ammo?

I didn't say Brave Little Toaster was a masterpiece, and I personally think Frozen is one of the worst movies ever made. Masterpiece is a word you brought into the conversation.

Scorsese was specifically defining "cinema," and according to that definition, it fits.

LOL wow. Do yourself a favor and watch the Tom Hanks special he made this year for CNN about the movies. Watch the one on the 2000's and 2010's. People are definitely acknowledging them outside the MCU. Again, keep reaching.

What about the Smurfs movie? I think that was great too. Definitely on par with Citizen Kane if you ask me.

I am very curious about which movie he tried to watch. I wish he'd 'fess up.



Again, still want to know which one he watched. And it does matter. If I want to impress someone who has never seen a movie from the MCU, I wouldn't pick Thor: The Dark World, or Age of Ultron. I would show them the first Iron Man, first Avengers, or The Winter Solider. Even Joss Wheadon, James Gunn, and now Kevin Smith, are all curious to know which one he watched.

Watching this scene all this years later still sends shivers up my spine. He was so selfless! Definitely conveys human emotion.

Another great cinematic moment. Definitely conveys human emotion. This movie is all about the triumph of caring.

LOL got tired of using The Brave Little Toaster I take it? By the way, I answered your question on emotions in End Game, but I can see you've ignored it. Yeah, you've run out of ammo.

Oh look, more references to TBLT again! What, no love for The Rescuers, or The Great Mouse Detective?

Do you have the sense that the people who find "Endgame" to be "sad" would also find "The Brave Little Toaster" to be "sad"? Death is often an emotionally powerful theme. But it's also a theme that leaves the strongest impression among juvenile audiences. The concept of finality can be quite a jarring one for an 8-year old.
