Grave of the Fireflies (1988)

A beautiful heartbreak of a film. It is near impossible not to cry watching this.

And if you're partial to the night sky...

I love how after more than a decade on the internet, the Meerca Chase game on Neopets still remains completely unchanged. I wasted many hours of dial-up internet on this as a kid.

dangurewitch:

Fantastic Mr. Fox was wonderful. So creative and charming and fun, as well as beautiful to watch.

I argued briefly with Amir after watching it, since he claimed that “kids would not like it” and “You shouldn’t criticize movies like ‘Tooth Fairy’ because they’re made for kids, and kids have more fun watching stupid movies.” I could not possibly disagree more. Just because people - kids included - have been proven to enjoy the lowest common denominator does not make it okay to condescend to them with stupidity.

Films like Up, Aladdin, Ratatouille and Fantastic Mr. Fox are brilliant because they don’t assume that kids (and, as a result, adults) are retards. You should no more say “Kids’ movies have a right to be stupid, they’re kids’ movies” than you should say the same about action movies or big-budget family comedies. No! It shouldn’t ever be okay to be treated like an idiot.

Unrelated: this movie reminds me to go back and read every Roald Dahl book again.

IA so much about this.

I know Pixar movies are generally beloved by the Tumblr community, but I know way too many people in real life who basically refuse to even watch them because they’re “kids’ movies”. I’m sorry, but Up was a million times more thought-provoking and beautifully crafted than Transformers 2.

Nuovo Cinema Paradiso (1988)

I finally got around to watching the Director’s Cut tonight. If you love the movies, it is impossible not to be completely in love with this film, which manages to break and enchant your heart at the same time. The ending montage of screen kisses is an incredible sequence.

(via) Jason Segel performed a hilarious original song at the Swell Season show last night in L.A. As Segel sings at a piano, Swell Season member (and Once star/performer) Marketa Irglova strolls across the stage with what Segel professes to be his home phone number.

Well, I know you’re charmed by my lovely on-screen persona
Sweet and humble, that’s certainly my career
But it would be a shame for you to miss this one-time offer
To make love to Jason Segel this year.

Remember when I showed my penis in Forgetting Sarah Marshall?
Well, there were no special effects
So if you liked what you saw
Well that’s exactly what I’m working with

Call me if you need me

LOVE THIS.
