Watched Ratatouille and ate ratatouille tonight. Underrated movie and dish.

I saw a theory online that suggests the old woman's house where Remy grew up is actually Ego's mum. This would make sense as the reason he enjoyed Remy/Linguini's ratatouille so much is that its actually his mothers recipe.

There's a load of evidence to back this up. Someone marked up stills of the scenes of the house in the beginning and linked it to the flashback of Ego as a child.

Weird I had never heard that before but I like it. It makes the whole thing come together really nicely.

We just had it the standard way but now I’m very curious what that’d be like.

Brad Bird addressed this and mentioned the re-use of assets was due to the movie being very behind schedule. They were cutting corners wherever possible to hit release day.

For the most part, coming up with theories about movies is harmless and fun, but it makes me worry about our fractured sense of object permanence when we decide two locations are the same because of similar furniture and fixtures. :ROFLMAO:

I kind of understand why someone would look into the idea though, especially when its a company that is well known for adding little secrets and easter eggs in their films. I thought this was one of the more tame ones as well, which actually adds to the story as opposed to some of the more crazy ones.
 
Words can not describe how excited I am for The Lighthouse. The VVitch was one of my favorite movies of the past few years and Robert Pattinson has been one of the most surprisingly great actors in recent memory. I'm a sucker for weirdo, artsy "environmental" horror movies so if this is as good as I hope it is, it may be the only thing I talk about for the next few months

I re-watched "Annihilation" recently and, while I do have a way better grasp on what the film was actually about, I still feel like it was hit-and-miss.

Aside from Natalie Portman and Oscar Isaac, the characters aren't too fleshed out and there are multiple points in the movie where I felt like I was watching something airing on the SciFi channel like 10 years ago.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing, since it's still well made and looks gorgeous, but the way that some of the lamer scenes are juxtaposed with the godly scenes make it kinda jarring to watch. The whole last part of the movie with the lighthouse is insanely good, and if the rest of the film was in that same tone I'd have enjoyed it way more.

The visuals were solid throughout, and I loved how they only got weirder and weirder the further the team descended into the shimmer. Prob the prettiest film I remember seeing in 2018. Shame I missed the chance to see it in theaters.

Annihilation is a movie that, as far as my own personal opinion goes, I realllly can't make heads or tails of. It's a wonderful example of metaphorical storytelling, and using such abstract sci-fi concepts to communicate equally abstract ideas about emotional growth and personal development. Viewed entirely from a metaphorical lens, it's technically brilliant. But as a story of its own, it just sort of falls flat? I'm fully with you in that I thought the character writing was mediocre at best (outside of Natalie Portman, Oscar Isaac, and sooooorta Ventress?), and the chemistry was just non-existent. I find movies to be really interesting when they use such out-of-this-world ideas to represent wholly human experiences in a unique and artistic way, but there still needs to be a story there, and a story that feels like it's being pushed forward by something other than the purposes of fulfilling a metaphorical lesson. Outside of a few key scenes, it felt oddly lifeless
 
On top of Robert Pattinson being Batman, and Zoe Kravitz being Catwoman in the upcoming movie "The Batman," Paul Dano is also going to be The Riddler!!

Maybe the only superhero film I'm excited for at this point in time.

But, and I say this in all seriousness... Do we really need ANOTHER Batman film?

I'm into the idea that this one is supposed to focus less on Batman the superhero or Batman the totem of Christopher Nolan's thoughts on morality, and more on Batman the world's greatest detective. Riddler is a good (perhaps the best) foil for that side of Batman's persona.
