Went to see Nobody (2025) last night & it was delightful. A Chinese animated fantasy comedy film about 4 low-level, no name monsters faking it till they make it by posing as the heroes of Journey to The West. A lot of heart & 1 or 2 of standout action sequences here as expected of donghua nowadays.

This is the film 'Nobody' I've been talking about. Honestly there is nothing special in the animation techniques used in this film. But the way they combine them with interesting visual storytelling and fun characters elevates the entire film!
2D animation is booming in theaters. In China, the film Nobody is outgrossing many of Hollywood's recent CG films—on a $10< million budget.
It's only one example. As 2D films rise, Hollywood's decision to kill them off looks shortsighted. We explore:

“Nobody” is so good!
Four yaoguai impersonate the heroes of Journey to the West in an attempt to gain immortality.
Charming, fun, and full of heart. It was also lovely to see a wonderfully Chinese tale in the big screen.
Highly recommend.

There’s something hilariously fitting to my thoughts on this country that this Veterans Day service has the whole auditorium standing at attention for the national anthem being played out of tune to the tinny efforts of a small group of 5th graders.

Veterans Day always brings with it the most complicated feelings. It’s one of those “identities” that’s most led me to having identity conflicts. Half the world wants me to be proud of it, half want me to be ashamed of it. Sometimes I just want to escape it, but I also know it’s core to who I am.

Cool, it's orange! Orange has some characteristics though. These characteristics will help you decide almost everything else about your light and your surrounding objects

Yeah, but be careful what you sign with her, or you might find yourself tossed to the pit."
