Okay, so I have Bass Ale & #Coonskin. I've heard this is horribly offensive, and also this a Ralph Bakshi film, so I'm repeating myself.
Within the first two minutes of #Coonskin I have already heard the N word used more often than last year.
Wow, so they leave one racist ghetto in search of a different racist ghetto. Uplifting, #Coonskin isn't.
Wow. Posterized color and a Krazy Kat reference. Brilliant. #Coonskin
Ayep. Conversation on the toilet, and now the dude's dancing around, squashing and stretching. Oh Ralph Bakshi don't ever change. #Coonskin
And as soon as I start thinking the animation for #Coonskin is actually pretty decent this guy with a huge belly has no follow through.
It's like Bakshi can't decide whether he wants #Coonskin to satirize Song of the South or be American Pop but with African-American music.
aaaand any coherency #Coonskin might've had is rapidly dissolving in unfunny jokes and unwitty social commentary.
Really, it took #Coonskin nearly an hour to get to the first anti-Semitic slur so I'm kinda surprised.
What the everliving fuck was with the sequence of the Godfather's wife shot by the clown/cherub bodyguard & becoming a moth fairy? #Coonskin
Something about this boxing montage suggests Bakshi's use of live action is a deep artistic statement like I RAN OUT OF MONEY FOR ANIMATORS.
The dice/8 ball thing sure seems like Bakshi trying to be as arty and inspired as the pool balls sequence in Fritz.
aaaand now another Pitch Baby riff with incoherently symbolic trippy animation. Remind me again why I'm watching #Coonskin?
Y'know... #Coonskin was a lot less compelling than I expected it to be. At least whatever I watch next is gonna make more sense.
#Coonskin was a clever social commentary segueing into African-American music in pop culture, without the part where it made any sense.
Okay, screw this, I'm watching #RockAndRule as a palate cleanser.
I hear they dubbed #RockAndRule into English from Canadian, so in the original people say please and thank you more often eh?
Actually there are similarities in the plot of #RockAndRule and #Interstella5555.
WHILE MOK HIMSELF SEARCHES FOR THE LAST CRITICAL COMPONENT A VERY SPECIAL VOICE. THIS WAS NOT CALLED EXECUTION. IT WAS CALLED RETIREMENT.
And now join me Mylar in welcoming tonight's last act, Jem and the Holograms! KEYTAAAAAAAARS! OCTAGONAL DRUMS! EIGHTIIIIIIIES! #RockNRule
They cut the power? How can that be, man, they're animals! #RockNRule
Mok's bodyguards indicate that he's had a late night coked up breakdown and is convinced he's an eyebrowless dictator. EINS ZWEI DREI ALLE!
Omar is all brooding 'cause he wanted to be in Akira and wound up in #RockNRule instead.
Also I realized the big clue that #RockAndRule is not a Bakshi film is that Angel doesn't have obvious nipples.
Omar, it's a Lok-Nar! DON'T TOUCH IT IT'S EVIL! #RockAndRule
An expansive garden, complete with a wolf-in-sheep's clothing! (ie, a bunnyoid on a stump. http://www.free-picture.net/animals/rabbits/bunny-stump.jpg.html …) #RockAndRule
OPEN YOUR EYES! ACCEPT MY OFFER AND WE SHALL RULE OHMTOWN AS LEAD SINGER AND OTHER LEAD SINGER! IT IS YOUR DESSSSTINY! #RockNRule
The wall was too high as you can see. No matter how she tried she could not break free and this film just became Pink Floyd. AAAAAAAAGH!
Oh yeah this is the part of the module where the band is ejected from Mok's super-tech ship along with a hungry bullette. #RockAndRule
"You guys are totally stoned!" Eh, you know you're messed up so just drive like your hands are straight! #RockAndRule
Whoa, nice landing, dude. #RockAndRule
More proof #RockAndRule isn't Bakshi - the policeman's pants stay on during this sequence.
Uh-oh, the military has cordoned off Nuke York. Clearly Angel demonstrates the Akira Wave. #RockAndRule
Ayep. And sure enough at close to 0 Kelvin Mok's keeping the remains of the original Akira to power his supercomputer. #RockNRule
Wow, it's a combination of Bladerunner's videophones and the disintegrator Harry Canyon has in his backseat in Heavy Metal. #RockAndRule
Okay, NOW we have nipple bumps and obvious coke and pills. #RockAndRule is beginning to look more Bakshi-esque.
Couldn't Angel just get the band out of this by telling Mok the line about how he has no power over her for her kingdom is great etc etc?
Remember, Zip, evil spelled backwards is live, and we all want to do that. #RockAndRule
Then Angel sings the magic chords and releases the Ogdru Jahad, the Seven Serpents! Fortunately a Fender futuretar doubles as a literal axe.
At the end of #RockNRule Angel and Omar sing together, healing the Crystal & restoring Ohmtown's power plant to the original crystal castle!
