“You spend way! too much time! on the internet!”

A finale with everything: action, thrills, suspense, humour, great returning characters, Pom Klementieff’s midriff, awesome water stunts….

Don’t miss it!

Watched this three times in a row for some reason

“Why are you looking at that bus? Please don’t blow it up! I know my mom says they’re always late, but they can’t help it!”

Turns out I appreciate this movie at lot more after watching the original three films on their own.

Sure, the final product has some issues, but it is very irable how they (Bob Buchholtz, Jeff Nimoy, and the editors) were able to piece together a decently coherent film out of three different ones. The dub script has plenty of memorable lines, the voice acting is good, and obviously the soundtrack is a strong highlight. The Barenaked Ladies’s “One Week” (which coincidentally namedrops another Toei property, Sailor Moon) genuinely enhances the scene it occupies, and the Fatboy Slim, Less Than Jake, and Smash Mouth needle-drops are great too. The LEN cover of “Kids in America” that ends the film is… maybe the third best version? The vocals are weird, but the vibes are radical. Behind the original and the version from Clueless, but it has cool record scratching which is a plus. 

It’s also cool to see where Mamoru Hosada began his career and see what would carry over to his future works (Summer Wars).

“The stock market is crashing, and people are rioting in the streets”
“That’s nice”

Really have to hand it to Discotek for their Blu-ray. They literally rebuilt this film from scratch because the one film print they had was so lousy. Had any other label worked on it, even Criterion, they would have just cleaned up that print to the best of their ability and called it a day. The final restoration of US film print, HD Japanese masters and upscaled footage is as appropriately Frankenstein as the film itself.

The work Discotek/TwistyGadget/MediaOCD/Sound Cadence did with both the original films and this is fantastic and highly worthy of praise for everyone involved. It’s kind of hysterical how Pokémon is the bigger franchise, yet it was Digimon’s movies that got the luxury treatment. What can I say? ion steamrolls carelessness.

That said, I do miss the LEN music video and US trailer from the old DVD release. Wonder why those couldn’t make it over.

“Can we end this quickly? After all, I’m on vacation”

Speaking of the US trailer, I the first time watching this movie when Gatomon (I know her name now)  said “Is that the coolest thing you’ve ever seen or what?” and I immediately thought to myself “That’s a line for the trailer, I’m going to watch the trailer for this after the movie and that line is going to be there”. Turns out I was a fool because it wasn’t.

Damn. Now I want to start watching the rest of Digimon. 

“He’s tone deaf”

“Go to the moon. My final message. Goodbye.”
- Kokomon

It was a strange choice to have very subdued music during the climax, and at times no music at all. I kind of ire it.

HELLO TAI. I WANT TO PLAY A WAR GAME.
- Diaboromon (I think)

Sure the situation is tense, but at least the summer vibes feel great.

Feels wrong without the Barenaked Ladies and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

English dub

Finally got Discotek’s Digimon movie collection and giving it a watch (only seen Digimon: The Movie thus far). The music is a lot more whimsical here. Pretty cute overall.

There is a good strong chance that this movie was someone’s bisexual awakening, and if that’s the case, then thank god Jeffrey Katzenberg was fired from Disney

Why bother spending money on seeing an inferior remake when I can just pluck my awesome two-disc DVD out of my collection and watch the original?

Licensed needle drops in 2D Disney movies, my beloved.

“Go to the church, and ask God to forgive you”

After tonight, I bet every Leafs fan is now praying that a hundred million moths come and eat their sweaters/jerseys. At least unlike tossing their jerseys on the ice, this action leaves the jerseys to good use as food for the moths.

The superior mode of transport, I gotta say

Started watching The IT Crowd lately

Edit: Just learned the creator of IT Crowd is a transphobe and now I’m bummed. Show’s still great though.

Pixar wishes

Didn’t know they made a movie about the woman living in my Wi-fi, but okay

The closest thing currently playing in theatres to Robert Altman’s Nashville (make of that what you will).

Now, if you excuse me, I’m going to get into music production and make a Vocaloid song that tops the charts.

Boy, this SpongeBob prequel is depressing (and a bad, albeit random, choice for mothers day)

The last time we ever see Jessica Rabbit on the silver screen, and her final line is her saying Smokey Bear’s catchphrase. What an icon.

“Oh, Dexter! Do you want to see a psychiatrist, honey?”

You think Francine would have sent Dexter to see a frontier psychiatrist if not for his arrest?

Someone give John Waters money so he can do one last movie NOW.

(P.S. RIP Sens SC run. It was a great season, and I can’t wait to see the Leafs get destroyed by the Panthers.)

An NFB short to close the month. Did I deliberately pick this out because the Habs were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs today? Yeah, kinda.

It has the vibes

Getting my annual easter watch out of the way before the Stanley Cup playoffs begin. It’s not easter until I see Jay and Silent Bob beat up the Easter Bunny.

A fun comfort watch with a banging soundtrack. The Weezer song that ends this movie is one of their best and I was pleasantly surprised when they played it at Bluesfest when I saw them back in 2023.

Where’s Jigen?

Spanish dub

So the last movie had Jorma Taccone and this had Jorma and Andy Samberg, meaning that Akiva Schaffer is the only Lonely Island member that has yet to appear in a Spider-Verse movie….

Are we building up to a Lonely Island song on Beyond’s soundtrack?

Will forever be annoyed that I never bought the AnimEigo Blu-ray when I had the chance, but thankfully some hero ed the whole thing to YouTube.

Rally and May are such great characters. End credits tragically devoid of music for some reason. One of the guys looked like that one dude from Clerks.

Happy Avril 14th everyone

The climax is still one of the best ever, holy crap
