[OFF TOPIC] Movies & TV Series Thread

Recommended Posts

Going from Disney movies to "if you watch things that are not meant for your age, you end up with pedophilae accusations" in a handful of posts is a whole new level right there.

Hmm, most of the Disney films are probably at the bottom of the barrel of stuff, that i would watch, but that is because of my own taste. 

 

This doesn't stop me from re-watching a ton of Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, Ed, Edd n Eddy etc. kids shows, when i want to. Heck i would probably never stop watching Scooby-Doo (though the current series are getting worse), it is so much in my heart. 

 

Last year i watched the full Buffy The Vampire Slayer and some of my friends were also like "Why are you watching this now, isn't it like for teenagers?". And i'm like "it's one of the best TV shows of all time, why shouldn't i watch it?!" 

 

This is like the other stupid statement, that i constantly come across: "I'm not watching old stuff / prior 2010,05,00. They are olddddd"  You can tell them a whole book on why the film/show is amazing, but they just see the date and it's over. So infuriating...

I like that @Monzanator liked this statement, even though it was clearly directed at him :lol:

@Olympian1010 - do you think that as fans of Disney movies shall we avoid accreditating to YOGs, EYOFs and other youth competitions - just in case? :p

Although, I think that:

@Vojthas I should make it clear that I’m not a fan of Disney movies. I watch highly rated ones (or terrible flops) on occasion, and that’s about it. 
 

I have been enjoying what PIXAR’s been putting out lately though. Especially the sub-studio responsible for Coco, Inside Out, and (soon to be released) Soul. They’ve been exploring more complex storylines, and pushing the boundaries of animation. 
 

You can skip up out on the EYOF and YOG. I’m probably the only member of our media organization who’s “youth and urban” enough to attend anyways.

Coco was amazing. I liked Inside Out but nothing spectacular. Wall-E on the other hand was simply amazing. One of the best romantic movies I have seen. 

 

In the last decade, Disney has also made some good animation movies. I loved Big Hero 6. Wreck-it-Ralph and Zootopia were also nice entertainment.

Coco might be one of my favorite movies honestly. I’m excited for Soul because the trailer looks really good (I’m thinking early contender for animated film at the Oscars).

 

Disney has been really hit or miss over the past decade. PIXAR seems to be where all the talent is at the moment. 
 

Wall-E, Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Lion King, and Up are all very much childhood classics to me. I still enjoy them now, even though I watch movies in a much more critical, artistic manner.

 

PIXAR’s golden age was the early 2000s in my opinion. They then had sort of a lull for decade or so, and then they really came on strong recently with this fresh material. 
 

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Big Hero 6 or Wreck-it-Ralph, but I did enjoy Zootopia. I would still place Coco, Up, and Finding Nemo as my favorites though.

I'm a little bit out of the trends, but still Madagascar is the best series ever. Including all it's spin-offs except of Penguins of Madagascar movie (series was great). Shrek was great in its first two parts, the third one was worse and the fourth one was terrible.

So, how many EYOFs and YOGs you've attended so far? Greetings from Győr 2017 reporter ;)
And I'm waiting for Banska Bystrica 2022 EYOF now.

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
