2024-10-06 03:02:57 +0000 UTCGreat cult classic! I remember watching this film and Dick Tracy at the drive in as a kid in the 80s and 90s. Daniel: “I’m on to you Christopher Lloyd!” I don’t know why but Daniel’s line delivery always cracks me up🤣🤣🤣 And how you gonna NOT like Roger?! He got Jessica like you got Sam! 😏

2024-09-28 17:25:52 +0000 UTCThere are still some great Zemeckis films to watch (I think): What Lies Beneath Cast Away Death Becomes Her Welcome to Marwen Beowulf

2024-09-28 16:16:55 +0000 UTCI agree, one of the best British Gangster movies (along with Get Carter (1971))

2024-09-22 19:34:41 +0000 UTCYou guys should check out Bob Hoskins in “The Long Good Friday” （1982)，classic British gangster film

2024-09-21 05:50:35 +0000 UTCThis was my first time seeing the movie in years and I didn't realize how much actual LA history worked its way into the screenplay. The movie is set in 1947 when plans for the California freeway system were first conceived, although construction didn't begin until the 1950's. There was a struggle over control for transportation routes in California between Pacific Electric Railway Company and the wealthy interests that wanted more freeways built and more cars sold. The increasing affordability of cars spelled certain doom for the Red Car line. This movie actually has something to say about a well maintained public transportation system being a better, faster and cheaper option for travel in a city like LA where everything is spread out really far. Combine that with a lot of cars on the road. By the 30's traffic in LA was already becoming unbearable, but we know that Judge Doom's idea that freeways would end traffic jams was total BS.

2024-09-21 04:31:23 +0000 UTCTouchstone Pictures, the company at the helm of this one, was owned by Walt Disney Studios. It was created only to distribute more "adult" titles, rather than continue using the Disney name, which was still branded to be family friendly. So, the rights for the Disney characters were fairly easy to come by. They already owned the rights for those.

2024-09-21 01:30:40 +0000 UTCSpeaking of the copyright issues, the deal was that in order to use both Mickey and Bugs they had to have the exact same amount of screen time, down to the second. This movie is brilliantly done.

2024-09-21 00:56:24 +0000 UTCWith the great voice performance of Kathleen Turner as Jessica Rabbit, we often neglect Jessica's performance model, Betsy Brantley, who also played The Mother in The Princess Bride (among other credits).

2024-09-21 00:38:08 +0000 UTCI wonder how much carrot sales went up after this movie. lmao

2024-09-21 00:32:38 +0000 UTCWho Framed TBR Schmitt? XD Thank you guys for reacting to this. Yep, that Doom reveal at the end still traumatizes me. lmao Imagine that as a little kid. XD Bob Hoskins would call this movie I'm bringing up the blight on his career, but he was also Mario in the "Super Mario Bros" movie that came out in 1993. It's a guilty pleasure of mine, I won't lie. So if you ever are curious about it, I recommend that. Haha.

2024-09-21 00:30:38 +0000 UTCBtw. It's an adapted sequel for Chinatown. The public transportation comment was the main plot of the script. Chinatown was about the los Angeles water supply, the sequel would have been about the public transportation system.

2024-09-21 00:13:32 +0000 UTCLike Sam, I saw this as a very young child and it was definitely a different experience as an adult, lol. This was one of my father’s favorite movies and we lost him in ‘91, so watching it always reminds me of him. 😊

2024-09-20 21:49:10 +0000 UTCI remember the bts saying that all the special effects are practical and they either hid them behind the animation cels or erased the wires. It shows the part where Roger Rabbit is in the sink and the water spouts are made by a pump. Then they go in and draw the animation over it so it looks like the water is coming out of Roger's mouth.

2024-09-20 20:54:38 +0000 UTC"War of the Roses" is hilarious.

2024-09-20 19:47:47 +0000 UTCThe technical work done on this film is amazing. The shadows on the cartoon characters is great. One specific scene, when Jessica is holding the mirror, showing her face and then turn the mirror slightly to show Eddie's face is outstanding.

2024-09-20 19:46:46 +0000 UTCBrazil is on my top 10 most-wanted TBR reactions...not that I've ever figured out exactly what those are. Might as well do that right now. • Blindspotting (2018) -- the one I'm entering into the raffle every month • Bound [Unrated] (1996) • Brazil [Director's Cut] (1985) • Conversation, The (1974) • Do the Right Thing (1989) • Hudsucker Proxy, The (1994) • Insider, The (1999) • Manchurian Candidate, The (1962) • Sugarland Express, The (1974) • What's Up, Doc? (1972)

2024-09-20 19:12:55 +0000 UTCIt's actually not green screen. Every frame of the film in which there is animation was blown up, and then traditional animation cels were used, with the frames behind them instead of a painted backdrop. Animation director Richard Williams won a special achievement Academy Award for it. For a great behind-the-scenes documentary, I would look for the one included on the 2-disc DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD editions of the film, which is one of the best ever produced for home video. It's feature-length and goes into the entire making of the film from beginning to end; you even get to see the test short they made in which Joe Pantoliano (Ralph Cifaretto on "The Sopranos", Memento, The Matrix, The Goonies, etc.) plays the Eddie Valiant role. The audio commentary with director Robert Zemeckis and crew is also great. Richard Williams was a legend in his field, but there is a semi-tragic story attached to his legacy. In the background, for decades, including throughout the production of Roger Rabbit, he had been working on a personal passion project, The Thief and the Cobbler. Unfortunately, the companies who had funded the production got nervous as Williams took his time animating the movie to his exact specifications. In one of the most horrible stories of corporate wrongdoing, Williams was close to finishing, but Disney's Aladdin was on the horizon. Not only had Aladdin already ripped off many of Williams' visual ideas, but the thought of competition from the biggest animation studio in the industry prompted a bond company to step in and take the project away from Williams. The movie was completed with inferior animation done on the cheap, but then it wasn't even released, sitting on the shelf for a few years. Finally, Disney's own subsidiary Miramax picked it up, chopped it to pieces, inserted celebrity voices and bad musical numbers to turn it into an Aladdin rip-off, and released it as Arabian Knight, which bombed, and Williams never completely recovered from the destruction of his work. However, the story does have a semi-happy ending. A passionate animation fan named Garrett Gilchrist, and a devotee of Williams' work, has spent decades working on restoring and repairing as much of Williams' original vision as he can, even going so far as to crowdsource new completed animation for the bits that were never finished. While it would be a rare case of reacting to a movie that technically has no official release, I highly recommend doing a reaction to the next iteration of the "Recobbled Cut" when it becomes available sometime next year (or you could do the previous iteration, which can be viewed in its entirety on YouTube -- when you Google "The Thief and the Cobbler," it's actually embedded in the main data panel, although I think the next one will be worth waiting for). Williams has since passed away, but he did live to see the film get reclaimed, and even hosted a few screenings of his last completed version (without Gilchrist's additions) before he passed away. Also, for a Kathleen Turner movie where she plays the femme fatale in a sincere way (which was probably part of the basis for her casting in this movie), check out 1981's Body Heat. I personally would divide noir into noir and neo-noir (the latter being contemporary, non-classic noir), and the Wachowski sisters' Bound (also starring Joe Pantoliano), Body Heat, and Devil With a Blue Dress are among my top neo-noir suggestions, and Double Indemnity, Touch of Evil, Brighton Rock, Pepe le Moko, and Thieves' Highway would be some of my classic noir suggestions. I'm sure I have more, but those are some just off the top of my head.

2024-09-20 18:59:25 +0000 UTCHe was so brilliant in the Long Good Friday and Mona Lisa. Would love to see them do those two!

2024-09-20 17:41:44 +0000 UTCBeen looking forward to this ever since it was announced!
Marcus Cato
2024-09-20 17:40:22 +0000 UTCDid you know Eddie Murphy turned down the role to play the Bob Hoskins detective? He says he always regrets it after seeing the movie. He thought it was a stupid idea at the time.

2024-09-20 17:32:39 +0000 UTCYeah !!! Always loved this Film !!! My wife loved this, so we will watch your reaction for Sure!!! Outstanding for me is Kathleen Turner as Jessica Rabbit ;) ...

2024-09-20 17:21:59 +0000 UTCHalloween 2024 Cosplay idea for The Schmitts: Roger and Jessica Rabbit.
Guston Zimasheen
2024-09-20 17:07:15 +0000 UTCAlthough unlikely, it would be great if you someday go down a Bob Hoskins rabbit hole (pun intended). Brazil, The Long Good Friday, Twentyfour Seven, Mermaids... he was always a joy to watch.
Paul Cox
2024-09-20 16:56:51 +0000 UTCCan’t wait too! I really do love this movie, even more now than as a kid, and it’s even better with the Schmitts.
