[QUOTE="RadFemHedonist, post: 631972, member: 1416"] The Bad Guys - Excellent except I wish films (particularly ones for kids) would stop holding up Mother Theresa as a prime example of human goodness - she was a religious fanatic who was opposed to divorce even for people being violently abused by their spouses, believed contraception and abortion were the world's two greatest evils and she believed poverty and suffering brought you closer to god so she wasn't actually really trying to do anything to prevent those things as such. It made me reflect on how the greatest human goodness often goes unthanked and largely unnoticed in that there are no doubt a large number of "dowdy" feminists and local community organisers around the world (both here and globally) who we've mostly never heard of who do a lot more good to protect people's rights than Mother Theresa ever did (and I'd include some lesser-known Catholic nuns in that, for the record, as I really don't think all of them are misogynists like Mother Theresa). Just goes to show you what undeserved good PR can do. OK so the film: It was super super fun and clever and I have a sort of wholesome asexual crush on that wolf dude lol he was super charming and cute, some of the way they animated him made me think of Lupin the Third in The Castle of Cagliostro. I also dug the shark dressing in drag that was like, yes it was played for laughs but not meanspirited ones and I think they were kinda trying to send a message of accepting society's outcasts in general with that? TBH I haven't seen masses of crime caper films, this has been described as Tarantino for kids and I've never seen any of his films just cuz I couldn't handle the violence, so I don't really know how it compares to the classics, but I would recommend it (it also did very well on Rotten Tomatoes, 94% Fresh IIRC) :) [/QUOTE]
