The New Street Fighter Movie Has The Most Bizarre Cast Fighting game adaptations are some of the campiest, most absurd films in the already generally pretty absurd game-to-movie oeuvre. Films like the Mortal Kombat series, Dead or Alive, and the 1994 Street Fighter all possess a kind of so-bad-they’re-good ridiculousness that has made them cult classic guilty pleasures.…Read more...

So, Annecy 2025 is coming up, and the Gobelins students have made some animations again. Apparently, they’re showing these little films before the festival screenings. If you missed them or just want to see them again, they’re available now. The animations are inspired by Hungarian culture or something like that. Not sure if it’s super exciting, but it’s there if you want to check it out. #Annecy2025 #Gobelins #animations #HungarianCulture #filmfestival

Alors, Marvel a décidé de faire un pas en arrière et de se concentrer sur "la qualité", après des années à inonder le monde de films et de séries. Bob Iger a parlé d'une nouvelle ère où seuls deux shows seraient produits, probablement pour éviter d'accumuler trop de super-héros sur nos écrans. Qui aurait cru qu'une franchise qui a fait fortune avec des films à la chaîne choisirait enfin d'être sélective ? Peut-être qu'ils vont enfin nous offrir quelque chose d'autre que des personnages qui, avouons-le, méritent une pause, comme si on avait besoin d'un autre Ironheart. Hâte de voir ces neuf personnages Marvel qui vont "mériter" leur propre série

Annecy 2025 s'approche. Apparemment, il y a un film d'animation qui s'appelle Planètes, réalisé par Momoko Seto. Ce film va être projeté au festival, mais bon, qui sait si ça va vraiment être intéressant. On parle de suivre des akènes de pissenlits, ou ce qu'on appelle des « graines » de pissenlit. Franchement, je ne suis pas sûr de ce que cela signifie, mais ça a l'air un peu bizarre, non ? Le festival d'Annecy est connu pour ses projets atypiques, mais parfois, ça peut être un peu trop. Les films d'animation peuvent être surprenants, mais à quel point ? Je ne suis pas convaincu que des graines de pissenlit soient le meilleur sujet pour un film. Peut-être que je me trompe, ou peut-être pas. En attendant, il va falloir voir ça. On dit que la sélection L’Officielle du festival apporte toujours des projets étonnants. Mais bon, des akènes... Ça fait un peu léger, non ? En plus, qui va vraiment aller voir ça ? Je me demande si je vais même faire l'effort d'y assister. Peut-être que je resterai chez moi à faire autre chose, comme regarder des séries ou dormir un peu. Donc, voilà, Planètes de Momoko Seto. Peut-être que ce sera bien, peut-être que ce ne sera pas. Qui sait. J'imagine que certains trouveront ça fascinant, mais personnellement, je ne suis pas vraiment excité. On verra bien. #Annecy2025 #FilmAnimation #MomokoSeto #Planètes #Pissenlit

court-métrage, Goodbye Mamajee, École Méliès, films étudiants, festivals de cinéma, Pondicherry, nostalgie ## Introduction Le court-métrage *Goodbye Mamajee* est une œuvre qui mérite d'être mentionnée. Issu de l'École Méliès, ce film a récemment attiré l'attention lors d'une journée de présentation des projets étudiants de 2023.

Dune Awakening fait parler de lui en ce moment. C’est un peu le jeu qui attire l’attention, surtout après le succès des films Dune. Funcom a donc décidé de surfer sur cette vague pour lancer le jeu. Mais bon, comme d’habitude, il y a des critiques. Le PvP, apparemment, ne plaît pas à tout le monde. Des joueurs se plaignent d’un équilibre qui laisse à désirer. Pas très surprenant, en fait. Funcom a promis qu’ils allaient travailler là-dessus, mais on se demande si ça va vraiment changer quelque chose. On est un peu fatigué d’entendre des promesses qui ne mènent à rien. Le jeu cartonne, donc on pourrait penser qu'ils ont quelque chose de solide entre les mains. Mais là, on a juste l’impression qu’ils essaient de gérer une situation qu’ils n’ont pas prévue. Les joueurs parlent beaucoup, surtout sur les forums. Les avis sont partagés. D'un côté, il y a ceux qui kiffent le jeu, mais de l’autre, il y a une bonne partie de la communauté qui n’est pas du tout satisfaite du PvP. C’est un peu ennuyeux, franchement. La promesse d’un équilibre, on l’a déjà entendue dans d’autres jeux, et on sait comment ça finit. Souvent, c’est juste du vent. En résumé, Dune Awakening est en train de devenir un gros titre, mais les critiques sur le PvP pourraient freiner son élan. Funcom a du pain sur la planche pour satisfaire tout le monde. Pour l’instant, on attend de voir s’ils vont vraiment agir ou si on va juste rester là, à attendre des mises à jour qui ne viennent jamais. #DuneAwakening #Funcom #PvP #JeuxVidéo #Critiques

Ah, DreamWorks! That magical land where the sun always shines, and animated penguins can sing better than most of us in the shower. A studio that has been spinning its whimsical web of nostalgia since the dawn of time, or at least since the late '90s, when they decided that making ogres feel relatable was the new black. So, what's this I hear? A documentary detailing the illustrious history of DreamWorks? Because clearly, we all needed a deep dive into the riveting saga of a studio that has made more animated films than there are flavors of ice cream. I mean, who doesn’t want to know the backstory behind the creation of Shrek 25 or the emotional journey of a dragon who can’t decide if it wants to befriend a Viking or roast him on a spit? The podcast team behind 12 FPS is bringing us this "ambitious" documentary, where I can only assume they will unveil the "secret" techniques used to create those iconic characters. Spoiler alert: it involves a lot of caffeine, sleepless nights, and animators talking to their cats for inspiration. Yes, I await with bated breath to see the archival footage of the early days, where perhaps we’ll witness the groundbreaking moment someone said, “What if we made a movie about a talking donkey?” Truly, groundbreaking stuff. And let's not overlook the "success" part of their journey. Did we really need a documentary to explain that? I mean, it’s not like they’ve been raking in billions while we sob over animated farewells. The financial success is practically part of their DNA at this point—like a sequel to a beloved movie that no one asked for, but everyone pretends to love. If you’re lucky, maybe the documentary will even reveal the elusive DreamWorks formula: a sprinkle of heart, a dash of pop culture reference, and just enough celebrity voices to keep the kids glued to their screens while parents pretend to be interested. Who wouldn’t want to see behind the curtain and discover how they managed to capture our hearts with a bunch of flying fish or a lovable giant who somehow manages to be both intimidating and cuddly? But hey, in a world where we can binge-watch a 12-hour documentary on the making of a sandwich, why not dedicate a few hours to DreamWorks’ illustrious past? After all, nothing screams ‘cultural significance’ quite like animated characters who can break into song at the most inappropriate moments. So grab your popcorn and prepare for the ride through DreamWorks: the history of a studio that has made us laugh, cry, and occasionally question our taste in movies. #DreamWorks #AnimationHistory #12FPS #Documentary #ShrekForever

Disney+ has decided to pull "The Abyss" once again, and it's all because of some controversial rat scene that seems to be stirring up more drama than it deserves. Honestly, who cares? It’s just another instance of a streaming platform trying to dodge the backlash over something that probably wouldn’t even register on most people's radars. I mean, really, is anyone out there actually invested in why a rat scene is causing such a fuss? It feels like a lot of noise over nothing. Maybe some will argue that it’s about censorship or artistic integrity, but it just sounds a bit tedious to me. People get riled up about these things, while I just sit here wondering when the next big thing will actually be interesting. The whole situation seems like a never-ending cycle of re-evaluating content. Disney+ pulls a film, people complain, and then it gets put back in the vault. It’s like watching a rerun of a show you didn’t even like the first time. The Abyss may have its moments, but if a rat scene is what’s holding it back, maybe it’s not worth the time anyway. Let’s face it, with so much else out there to watch, does anyone really want to dwell on a movie that has been pulled over a rodent? It’s exhausting to keep up with these controversies, and honestly, it’s easier to just scroll past. If you’re looking for something exciting, maybe check out a different platform? While the buzz around "The Abyss" might catch some attention, I won't be holding my breath for its return. It just feels like more of the same: a mix of politics, social media outrage, and a streaming service trying to play it safe. If they really wanted to make waves, wouldn't they just leave it alone and let people decide for themselves? In the end, "The Abyss" is just another title on a long list of films that have fallen victim to the whims of public opinion. So, let’s just move on to something else, shall we? There’s plenty of content out there that doesn’t come with the baggage of a controversial rat scene. #DisneyPlus #TheAbyss #FilmControversy #StreamingNews #Boredom

It's time to call out the glaring flaws in the so-called "Latest Showreel" by the Compagnie Générale des Effets Visuels (CGEV). They tout their projects like a peacock showing off its feathers, but let's be honest: this is just a facade. The latest compilation, which includes work from films such as "The Substance," "Survivre," "Monsieur Aznavour," "Le Salaire de la Peur," and more, is nothing short of a desperate attempt to mask their shortcomings in the visual effects industry. First off, what are they thinking with the title "Mise à jour de showreel"? This isn't an update; it's a cry for help! The industry is moving at lightning speed, and CGEV seems to be stuck in the past, clinging to projects that are as outdated as a floppy disk. The world of visual effects is about innovation and pushing boundaries, yet here we have a company content with showcasing work that barely scratches the surface of creativity. And let’s talk about "Le Salaire de la Peur." If this is their crown jewel, then they are in serious trouble. The effects look amateurish at best, and it raises the question: are they even using the right technology? In an age where CGI can create stunning visuals that leave you breathless, CGEV’s work feels like a bad remnant of the early 2000s. It’s embarrassing to think that they believe this is good enough to represent their brand. Alain Carsoux, the director, needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror. Is he satisfied with this mediocrity? Because the rest of us definitely aren’t. The lack of originality and innovation in these projects is infuriating. Instead of pushing the envelope, they're settling for the bare minimum, and that’s an insult to both their talent and their audience. The sad reality is that CGEV is not alone in this trend. The entire industry seems to be plagued by a lack of ambition. They’re so focused on keeping the lights on that they’ve forgotten why they got into this business in the first place. It’s about passion, creativity, and daring to take risks. "Young Woman and the Sea" could have been a ground-breaking project, but instead, it’s just another forgettable title in an already saturated market. We need to demand more from these companies. We deserve visual effects that inspire, challenge, and captivate. CGEV needs to get its act together and start investing in real talent and cutting-edge technology. No more excuses! The audience is tired of being served mediocrity wrapped in flashy marketing. If they want to compete in the visual effects arena, they better step up their game or face the consequences of being forgotten. Let’s stop accepting subpar work from companies that should know better. The time for complacency is over. We need to hold CGEV accountable for their lack of innovation and creativity. If they continue down this path, they’ll be left behind in a world that demands so much more. #CGEV #VisualEffects #FilmIndustry #TheSubstance #Innovation
