The fact that this movie is over a decade old and looks the way it does is insane to me.

LadyFinger

one of the most underrated animated movies

The blindfolded mole definitely has a Geoffrey Rush-Barbossa outfit vibe going on for sure haha. It’s a thing people in my circle have mentioned too! Also this is a very odd yet fantastic animated movie. John Logan is truly one of the most versatile screenwriters/playwrights out there! The Aviator, Penny Dreadful, Hugo are all worth checking out to name a few 😀

Another great movie with Johnny Depp is "Ed Wood" (Tim Burton 1994), an Oscar winning biopic of the Plan 9 writer/director. You should check it out!

droodly

This was very fun, and now I have to go watch "Three Amigos!" (1986)!

Casey Dixon

Yes, the movie you brought up is called "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" great movie should check it out.

George starts the video: "Hey guys, we're cool here. How about some insider information? Just pile it up. Now on with the movie." So here's mine: I'm a bartender. I put a sign in the women's bathroom that says if they order a specific drink and say they heard it was on special we bartenders know that there is someone bothering or harassing them. This way we can pay special attention and deal with it ourselves without the woman having to make a scene.

YES GEORGE, good job noticing the reference in the beginning. Indeed it's referencing another Johnny Depp movie, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Personally my favourite Depp film, weird and unique movie but really fun. I'd recommend it it's a hell of a trip!!

The boar looking creature is called a Javalina (pronounced have-a-lean-uh). I live in Arizona, US and they live in the desert here. They are pretty nasty and aggressive animals.

Jonathan Guzman

Good thing to note is that all the animals in the movie, are native species to that desert.

Justin James

Yes! Sergio Leone's "Dollars" trilogy with Clint Eastwood is incredible and worth checking out! - "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964) - "For a Few Dollars More" (1965) - "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (1966) And after these "Once Upon a Time in the West" (1968) is in my opinion Sergio Leone's magnum opus.

AgentFalcon

Love this move and the fact that the Spirit of the West is a mix of Clint Eastwood and Timothy Olyphant is just so fitting.

Joel the Human

I will take this opportunity to recommend Unforgiven (1992) and Pale Rider (1985) as my two favorite Clint Eastwood Western/Action movies!

djKENTO

I adore this movie. You need to look up the BTS footage cuz they acted this whole thing out for real and then animated it. It's wild. Animation just isn't done this way. I'm just waiting on a physical copy to arrive this afternoon.

djKENTO

Have you seen the Samurai remake of Unforgiven with Ken Watanabe in the Eastwood role?

djKENTO

Ed Wood is my favorite Depp performance and my favorite Burton directed film. I think he's moved so far away from the soul of that movie.

W T

Yeah the similarities are pretty obvious and Gore Verbinski directed both films. And I mean... you really don't need any sort of distinct visual features to resemble something, that's kind of the entire deal of human perception and how our recognition engine will match all sorts of weird concepts. Pareidolia alone is a trip, and half of the time, just getting the right costume will fill in the blanks right quick. Case in point: Astro Bot. Literally the same blank to fit your costumes on, and boom you've got Kratos. A simplistic take, but then you add mannerisms and animation on top and you get things behaving like people and such.

Well George I work for a vendor company, I help fill up those vending snack machines and bottles machines you see in hospitals, and auto dealerships; some are surveillance and some are not; that’s all I got. I’m a migrant from Durango, Mexico and there’s a city in Colorado named Durango as well; so you can say the name ties up with the Wild Wild West back in the days.

Simone's Coconut Squire

"We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold." One of the best opening lines of a novel ever.

G P

Echoing another commenter - you really should check out the Dollars Trilogy sooner than later

Emily G

You guys should watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) that’s what the reference was with the convertible. Also, check out The Mexican (2001) was directed by the same man that directed this it’s a hidden gem about a gun and a love story.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

This is echoing a little but I just wanted to clarify that the Dollars Trilogy is also known as the Man With No Name Trilogy, and I also highly recommend all three, and BEFORE you watch Unforgiven, which is both my all time favorite Western and my favorite Eastwood movie and you definitely need to watch some time. I just feel like it's better if you see young Clint first. Also highly recommend Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas, but I'm not sure if I should advise you learn a little more about Hunter Thompson first. I was already a big fan of his work and had read a few of his books and essays etc. He kind of races at full speed along that line between genius and madness. Bill Murray also played him in Where The Buffalo Roam along with Peter Boyle as Dr. Gonzo (aka Oscar Acosta, Thompson's lawyer and partner in debauchery), played by Benicio Del Toro in Fear and Loathing.

REDR58

Simone, it’s interesting that you called it a “potato bug” because around here we call it a Roly-poly!

Haye Zeus

Time to get to those Man With No Name movies

REDR58

Timothy Olyphant also appears in “The Mandalorian” in a western-type role. Lee Van Cleef plays “Hauk” in “Escape from New York” as the man who recruits Snake Pliskin to rescue the President.

Just found out there was a one season TV show called Rango about a bumbling sheriff in the 60s 😃 - the more you know 👍. I believe Wall-e (dramatic depth of field as a example) was one of the first cgi animated movies that utilized a lot of cinematic live action camera techniques in virtual. So I can see following movies like Rango continue doing so.

Gary Fixler

I remember billboards for this all over LA back in the day, but never saw it. I'm so glad I did. It was gorgeous, and really fun. I must have had a different cut, because I had extra dialogue in many spots. I had to keep resyncing. There was a whole funny beach scene, and a funny scene with Rango at the top of a mountain at the end I wish you guys saw.

Answer to George's quesstion at the beginning. Railroad industry here: 1. Derailments happen ALL the time. Most are not a big deal. Cars don't even fall over. 2.Also every few years, people get crushed while working around the equipment. 3. Most engineers (drivers of trains) don't throw the train into an emergency stop until after we hit someone at a crossing. People going around the gates is so common if we put the train in emergency every time, we trains would never get to where they are going. 4. Dogs try to runaway from the train by staying between the rails. It breaks my heart every time we run down a dog. I actually considered putting several times because of this.

As for George's question at the start, I've worked in games for 22 years now, at some tiny companies, and at some of the very biggest, so I'm loaded with information I can never share 😆 It's really weird to be working in an office, and seeing thousands of raging comments online about something, like why some feature was cut, or why a game got canceled, or things about particular bugs, which we know all about in detail, but are not allowed to talk about. We're just scrolling through Reddit, and game sites, wishing we could reply. I've stared at comments for long periods, trying to justify replying, trying to figure out an angle to let someone know that someone knows, and I feel their pain, but ultimately, I can't end up out on the streets, blacklisted. I've been in meetings where someone will say something like "I could do this, because it would make the whole pipeline simpler, but the gamers will hate that change," and we won't do it, because we don't want them to attack us. They're scary. Speaking of, I remember working at NC Soft in a third floor office over the food court on the 3rd St. Promenade in Santa Monica, back in 2004, while construction men spent the whole day changing out all our internal glass doors and windows with bulletproof versions, because some partner company of ours had received death threats over some game thing I can't recall now. It was something really dumb, and nowhere near worthy of death threats, of course. Gamers are a cool bunch. One game I worked on at Disney was the now ancient and sunset Toontown Online. The art in that game looks severely dated now, but it did 10+ years ago, too, when it was still up. The artists I worked with there were so good, though—many of them full Disney feature level people—but they weren't allowed to change, update, or improve the look of anything, because the enormous number of players were so tied to their characters, and the look and feel of everything. The game had been around about a decade, iirc. Any changes our team ever tried to make would be met with an avalanche of hate, and immediately reverted. It was super limiting for a very talented group. Super fun office, too. We had constant pie parties, a huge Nerf battle (entire floor, more than 50 people, people crawling under furniture, screaming for medics, total pandemonium). That was one of my favorite jobs, but it just kept shrinking. I made it through 5 major layoffs in as many years, as we went from a half dozen big, open world games, all the way down to a couple of phone apps, and then there just wasn't enough of my kind of work left and I was out, too. My most recent place (of maybe 15, shortest a few months, longest probably 5 years) was Treyarch, and it was one of the best groups I've worked with. It was a bunch of really fun-loving people, and a really kind group to work with. I loved my boss. I've worked at places with lots of hostility and cliques, and egos. This place had none of that, somehow. I tend to have a lot of high concept tech ideas, and I'm always getting shot down at other companies when I get too far out there, but I remember one day, still pretty new on the team, thinking "okay, I'm just gonna go for it," and sheepishly saying "well, I do have one idea, and I think it would be awesome, but it's a little wild," and not only did they let me explain all of the crazy, without interrupting or moving on to something else, they waited to see if there was more when I finally finished, then thought the idea sounded interesting, and said "Okay, let's do it. What do you need?" I actually said "I don't know... I've never gotten this far before." 😆 Ultimately the company decided that everyone had to come back to work in the office, no more full remote, and it was just too far a commute. I was going to hate my life, and I don't want to move from my house (I love it), so I had to leave. They didn't want me to go, and I didn't want to, either, which is a really nice way to leave a company, held up against the alternatives. I miss them.

Imagine how confused I was the first time seeing this, they played this because the thing that was supposed to play didn't work. I was not mad though :D If you fancy a rewatch on your time, look for the extended cut, it has about 10 mins more hilarious improv and a wild outro. ILM and Roger Deakings are certainly to credit for why it looks so good, I think the very real looking materials make it feel so dirty and believable. I don't know all the great Western movies as well, but this one is full of hommages.

Guillermo Antonio Ricci Alvarez

As others said, you might want to watch at least the ending scene from the extended version as it only adds a new scene at the end not changing the original ending

Jeb Manning

If you want to watch another great animated movie, I've got to recommend Transformers One from this year. It's an origin story for the Optimus Prime and Megatron while also being a great intro to many of the Transformers characters. It's a beautifully animated movie by ILM. In particular, they visualize the planet of Cybertron before the war between Autobots and Decepticons, and the planet looks spectacular. The action and comedy are also absolutely on point. It's just so much fun, and it'd make for a great reaction.

I was actually working at a movie theatre when this movie came out and they had a big promotion tied in. Lizards and snakes in tanks, everyone dressed as cowboys and in tropical shirts and country fair shooting galleries. It was a big thing for kids and families to do and I think many were UNPREPARED for how weird the movie was. I rewatched this after going through tons of westerns earlier this year and the amount of references and details are really fun. Klaus, the rabbit henchman is based on Klaus Kinski who played some of the most despicable villains in Spaghetti Westerns. Seconding everyone here asking for some Man With No Name films. To answer George's question at the start, when I worked in QA at nintendo of america I learned they at one point had to send VHSs to Japan to show footage of bugs.

schnoobs

Yes!!! The Dollars Trilogy please 🙏

Ryan

Honestly I’ve seen this movie so many times and never noticed the fear and loathing reference

samuel Jakob

Damn I havent seen this movie since around its release and even tho I remember really liking it, i completely forgot how funny it is and how not for kids so much of the dialoge is :D
