Confirmation of on set drinking whilst commiserating over the shitshow during production:

“Bob used to get special whiskey sent from England—single malts—and we would drink those copiously in his caravan.” - Fiona Shaw (Lena)

    It’s the gritty psychedelic dystopian cyberpunk movie we didn’t deserve. Nintendo had no idea how to produce a movie and just let them run fucking wild. Hollywood should be encouraged to take more chances. Fucking electric bumper cars demolition derby style car chase. Dino-people. Devo (the concept not the band). Psychic fungi. And all the other fucking weirdos. It’s not even awesomely bad, it’s badassly awesome.

    What’s most surprising to me is how closely the latest animated Movie Bros. movie followed the very broad strokes of the plot of the original, like a sanitized and fully kitsch commercial reboot, which is kind of appropriate for the world we live in.

      The over engineering of the bumper cars was fantastic, i get high and can’t stop pausing my rewatch to talk about those cars every 30 seconds. Fucking awesome

      Wait, Is this a negative comment or a positive one?

      As someone who enjoyed the weirdness of the 1993 movie, I absolutely loved the new animated film.
