Our beloved Kaneko has retreated from the world. Never again will we see his black lipstick and gigantic eyelashes.

The only things the English speaking world has to judge it by are the Amazon.jp summary (this is actually in Japanese but I know what it says so), and some excerpts posted by anons on smtg. And I haven't actually seen the latter, only knowing second-hand hearsay, like how the book opens with the two main characters being flirty with each other.

So I do not know. The premise actually sounds really interesting though. As in, rather than just being gay love with an excuse plot, it sounds like an actually engaging story that happens to have a gay romance.

Yeah, it would take me far, far too long to translate it, even if I was interested enough to actually order it all the way from Japan. Which I am not. Generally more interested in the fact it's not smt come baaaaaaaaack

so I guess I'll never know

in hindsight perhaps I should have expected the conversation to veer from "where is he now" to discussing the quality of the gay romance novels he now draws for

[up] this implies familiarity with how the devil hails and thunders

I've heard it might be shitty because the director said some insensitive things about being on medication for depression.

If it tells you anything, I cried a whole bunch. It's visually amazing, too, the hair and the skin and the water and everything looks remarkable.

[up]Hm. Is that Tumblr's sentiment?

Heh, par for the course there. Oddly enough, Up was the first Pixar film I cried at.

Also, just because someone who worked on it is misinformed about psychiatric medication doesn't mean the film is bad. That subject actually never came up in-film. It's regrettable that they think that, but I'm not gonna let that mar my enjoyment.

So we can add "Gay Romance Novels" to the list of topics discussed in this thread.

@Mobile: Ooh. I do not regret choosing to see Fury Road in the slightest, but I will have to watch Inside Out at some point.

@Squid: Well, an author saying/believing one bad thing doesn't mean that the work itself is necessarily bad.

Aw yeah, dude, Fury Road was also the shit. I need to see it again when it comes out on DVD and stuff.

And with sadness specifically, in America you read about people medicating to avoid sadness. They don't want to experience sadness and yet it's such a vital part of being human."

I mean the rest of the interview was fine, but this bit made me kinda nervous.

I'll still see it because it's Pixar, though.

I'm gonna ignore tumblr for this one because Bogleech has kind of a big hateboner for Pixar anyway.
