My favorite web reviewer covers one of my favorite movies. Nice!

This wasn't even on the schedule, apparently there wee technical difficulties with the scheduled stuff.


I've seen this movie more time than I can count... and I never thought about Pudge the Fish that way. Damn.

He mentioned technical difficulties on twitter. Content ID or footage corruption or what, I dunno.

What I'm taking from this is mainly that, with Chuck spread out over the internet with his videos, is that the entire streaming ecosystem is about to collapse now. Right?

Wow Chuck, with all your recent problems you now risk the wrath of Disney? Is just on the off chance of being able to tell them personally "fuck you very much" for killing blip?

Good review and brought up some stuff I hadn't considered with Lilo.

Weirdly, Disney is one of the least-litigious IP holders in terms of policing youtube for contentID.

You know... I get the feeling that Chuck is specifically choosing the most ridiculous frames of animation to use as visual backgrounds for the review deliberately.

And it's hilarious.

Also, the directors/writers completely succeeded in making the family fighting feel utterly real and awkward and uncomfortable at the beginning of the movie. It's honestly hard to watch, though that's not a bad thing.

Ah Lilo and Stitch, the movie I appreciate more and more the older I get.

The fantastical sci-fi elements I think work well with the more realistic drama and in many ways enhance it. Lilo and Stitch are both two young souls that are completely lost in their situation, Lilo coping from the death of her parents and Stitch unable to act upon his more destructive programming.

There's a scene that I find incredibly poignant, after gotten Nani fired and wrecked up his new home Stitch wanders about aimlessly and Jumba observes that he never thought about what a genetically-engineered destroyer would do after there's nothing left to destroy and ponders what it must be like to not even have memories to visit in the middle of the night.

Disney is no stranger to the dead parents trope but I think this movie tackles it the best of all because it shows just how damaging it is to the two sisters. Lilo's attempts at rationalizing it the best she can with her active imagination to try and hold back all the feelings she has and Nani is obviously not ready to be a parent. This may be the best representation of a sisterly relation in any Disney film, and yes I'm putting it above "Frozen" (which is an over-shilled hack film anyway).

Honestly, I'm a fan of the interpretation that Lilo is autistic. It certainly explained why I related to her so much as a kid.
