Pixar's Pete Docter and Ghibli's Hayao Miyazaki Disagree on the Value of Test Screenings

Following the premiere of Inside Out 2, which has performed well both domestically and overseas, Docter discussed many different elements of the creation process, including test screenings, which are used to gauge how audiences react to certain elements or scenes. When Docter asked Miyazaki if Ghibli holds test screenings for its films, Miyazaki stated that it does not. "No, it is impossible for all viewers to understand a film," he explains. "We are the ones who take responsibility, so we can't leave it to someone who happens to be there."

Miyazaki must die on the inside each time he hears about this stuff

I can't even imagine. After a long life of making wonderful things, getting prodded by phillistines this way every time you leave the house.

Hayao is a goat standing on top of a mountain made from a series of ever slightly larger goats. The Hayao goat mountain has no discernable base.

I like to imagine the goat mountain sits atop the back of a single, giant, goat. And that goats name? Is John Darnielle

Big bird is the deuteragonist. He shoots people, has sex, smokes a doobie, and says "hell" twice.

Sesame Street is the most successful education program because it taught both kindergarteners and stoners important things about life.

It's a coin toss between a slick mobile game like all-ages veneer where it has that bland Disney look, or it goes for the type of perpetually adolescent hogs ages 14-88 that call themselves "grown-ass adults" and it'll instead try to become Gambo with a sloppy slathering of awooga libertarian-alert hypersus with nonpolitical characteristics. us-foreign-policy

We could power the world with a turbine hooked up to the spinning corpse of Tolkien if they did gambo style “sex-exposition” during the Tom sequence that also attempted to explain his origin story.

The Last Jedi really caused all of this by making Star Wars fans think

That remains to be seen so-far

I'd be more welcoming of it as trash for trash's sake if it didn't burn additional forests and dry up additional lakes to make the trash.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

It"s no fun for me because there's nothing behind it. You can't laugh at ai slop because it's just nothing. Random movements in a stream. It's not chuds being twits, or liberals being up their own asses. Laughing at bazingas for thinking ai noise is art is only fun a few times and those times were years ago.

How long is a kaleidescope really entertaining before the random motion of shapes and colors grows dull?

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 27 points 8 months ago (2 children)

This along with unlimited treats via the AI printer means I'll never be challenged again and have to think! i-love-not-thinking

I guarantee the hogs will think they've entered a golden age of nonpolitical hog slop consumption... but that ennui will build all the same, and they'll blame anything and everything except the source of it: art got their attention in the first place because it was different and interesting and pandering alone isn't enough. They won't change, but they'll also be increasingly dissatisfied and maybe burn studios down or something.

Now you've got me wondering about how Nazis perceived the shlocky "wholesome" movies that the Nazi regime kicked out for entertainment during the Reich.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

Without knowing for sure, I dare suspect a similar phenomenon occurred back then.

So Star Wars Episode IX.

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago

Imagine if they didn't chicken out from the backlash to The Last Jedi and actually expanded on the plot? Made it an actual trilogy?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago

Ten thousand Star Destroyers(r) each with a Death Star(r) superlaser is already a slop basis to start with.

How about ten thousand giant spinning many-edged planet-cutting lightsabers, each wielded by a cyberpunkerino waifu? so-true

[–] Grebgreb@hexbear.net 23 points 8 months ago

is that even possible

It’s going to happen, isn’t it? Red Skull is going to become an avenger?

Can’t wait until Twitter clucks about how Hollywood finally dropped the ‘political crap’ as Red Skull solos all of Wakanda without a scratch on him.
