3 Panel Comic

Panel 1: James sits clutching a mug nervously as he listens to a conversation he’s afraid of. He stares at something off screen. Near by, a woman and smartly dressed man talk movies over their drinks. The woman nods along.

Man: I’d say probably the best filmmaking I’ve ever seen, has been ‘The Sacrifice’ by Tarkovsky

Woman: Mmhmm

Panel 2: James is pulled from whatever holds his attention as he’s dragged into the conversation.

Man: What about you James? What would you say is the best film you have ever seen?

James: Huh?

Panel 3: James turns back towards the window he’s been watching as he feeds the man an expected answer.

James: Ah! Uhm y’know… ‘Mulholland Drive’, maybe ‘Vertigo’

Outside the window, the movie ‘Step Brothers’ bangs on the glass demanding to be acknowledged. knock knock knock

        Some of them! Unfortunately I moved, and had to put my boxed set in storage, and I can’t get to it because it’s lumped in with all of my family’s stuff, probably buried which is really annoying and makes me wanna just repurchase them at this point

        I did get as far as past the section that the movie was based on, definitely didn’t expect the Tolmekians Torumekians to be just the knights, with no chickenhead soldiers or birdface tank guys, with the chickenheads originally being wormhandlers. That is one thing that I prefer about the movie since the chickenhead helmet bears a striking resemblance to the giant warrior, which is a nice parallel to the monster that they aspire to use

        Edit: just realized that you can actually see the birdies in some panels like here

    Step Brothers was alright and it was good for a little referencing but it never made me feel the things that 12 Angry Men, Rear Window or Jaws has.

      Conan the Destroyer was a good flick too. The scene where they’re walking into town and Conan warns Malak not to steal and he’s like, “I know when to steal (swipes some jewelry) and when not to.” Is just a fantastic setup/punchline.

      The part where he shows his medallion to the temple guard like he’s flashing his ID to the bouncer at a club is chefs kiss

    I don’t know what my answer would be but it would need to be S class in being both artistic and entertaining. Like The Boy in The Striped Pajamas is S class artistic, B class entertaining. Avengers End Game is B class artistic and S class entertaining. I don’t know what movie would be an S class in both.

    Well I can think of animated movies pretty easily, The Wild Robot, Spirted Away, and Akira comes to mind immediately. As for live action movies, that’s tougher.

    Can someone please explain why people llke Step Brothers so much?

    The movie is literally about two NEETs being as insufferable as possible. Where is the comedy in that?
