You Know Who

Not yet but maybe I'll use inks when I get to the Johto/Gen II ones. May need some more practice elsewhere first though.

Got burnt out devising full-landscape drawings for Gen I (not helped, admittedly, by Kanto's fairly bland geography). Plus, I was eager to depict the key characters of Gen I and to get on to future gens, so I put away my previous sketchbook and drew all 151 original Pokemon and 24 key Kanto characters drawn to scale on 18 x 24 sheets (1 in = 1 ft). For elongate Pokemon like Weedle and Onix, I interpreted their official height as "length" and the character heights are guesses on my part. I should also note that I only depicted sexual dimorphism in Pokemon in cases where it was exceptionally obvious (rather than those where slightly longer fangs indicate males or slightly longer hair indicates females) and that the character models are based different versions of them across the original Gen I games, their Gen III and Gen VII remakes, and the anime, rather than all adhering to one version of Gen I or Kanto. (I realized later that I forgot Bill, but hopefully no one misses him too much.) Here are the first 51 Pokemon across four sheets (of fourteen total), along with some of the key characters, depicted next to or with their most consistent or appropriate ace. I'm hoping to post to the next five sheets on Wednesday and the last five on Friday or over the weekend. Anyway, enjoy! @Missy@Pan-dub@Molly@dc20willsave@Donomark@slothian@KnightWing

I'm a few days late, but we'd be remiss not to have a thread for her as well. I was first made of her through GoldenEye (still one of the best Bond songs) and there's a lot of her catalog I'm not familiar with, but she was a musical legend by any standard.

Raiders at the moment. Without having rewatched them, I’ve kind of gone off mob films (at least pre-Sopranos ones). Hot Fuzz Not seen The Thing.

Some would argue you have seen Avatar since you've seen Pocahontas. 😆

A two-fer this time since both have already been recorded: The Lion King (1994) vs Black Panther Pocahontas vs Avatar

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/may/23/ray-stevenson-rrr-thor-and-star-wars-actor-dies-aged-58 I’ve not seen him in many films beyond the Thor ones, but he was excellent in his breakout role of Titus Pullo in the HBO series Rome.

While I’m tempted to say “it’s a Disney film, therefore there’s no sex in it (apart from the kind offscreen that produces children)”, I’m leaning towards sex workers yet not prostitutes — something more along the lines of strippers, erotic dancers, kiss-o-grams, or waitresses at Hooters.

Quest, King, Superman, Return of the Joker, Terminator, and Back to the Future. Most of those are close calls though (at least for me).

You’re right 😖 I remembered Ratcliffe shortly after our recording. Frollo also has major singing parts in The Bells of Notre-Dame and In Here/Out There, plus Hellfire.

Enjoy! It’s our longest one yet but we had a blast.

Aladdin (1992) vs. The Mummy (1999)

Great episode as always! Nightmare 2 is actually the only Elm Street I've seen much footage of. The shower scene with the coach was playing on in the background at a Halloween party I went to once. I wouldn't call Robert Englund -- who's about 5'10", if the internet is to be believed -- a "comically tiny person" though (I'm 6'7", so believe me, I'm in a position to judge).

Beauty and the Beast (1991) vs. The Empire Strikes Back

Close call. Both are messes but I think Spider-Man 3 is probably the better-executed (or less-botched) one, at least from acting- and special effects-wise.

Rogue One. Both are uneven in places but Deadpool kinda peters out (at least from memory) and has Gina Carano in it.

Here's the translation of The Little Mermaid I read in preparation for the episode, for anyone interested: https://andersen.sdu.dk/vaerk/hersholt/TheLittleMermaid_e.html

The Rescuers Down Under vs. Home Alone

I’ll second Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Unfortunately, you’ll probably need to cover The Help for her earlier career/breakout role. For a pick between those two, either Fences or Widows. I’ve heard good things about The Woman King but also that it’s more of an ensemble than a Davis-central film (by her own request).

King Kong (1933) vs. Godzilla (1954)

The Little Mermaid (1989) vs. The Shape of Water

Amen.

No need. This episode was amazing and made me want to watch both movies! I also can’t wait to one day hear

Oliver & Company vs. Oliver!

Jurassic Park, Singin’ in the Rain (though like you I find it indulgent and overrated, in spite of its good points), School of Rock (Les Mis c’est merde), and Batman Begins.
