(2026 dir. Peter Farrelly) Date Seen: July 26 2026
At this point studio suits are just hitting shuffle on finding comedic counterparts for Wahlberg -- while he still looks relatively young & draws eyes to ads / content. But dammit, I wish this was funnier. It's just too thrown together.. still better than that movie Peter Farrelly won best picture for though.
306) LADY AND THE TRAMP
(2019 dir. Charlie Bean) Date Seen: July 26 2026
[just some production comparison notes]
It's sorta nuts to me how much more lifelike on average the animated dogs look in this compared to that CALL OF THE WILD adaptation from a year after. "Buck" in the latter movie is far more emotive & anthropomorphic; Not to mention going through much crazier shit (more cinematically adventurous shit), but say a nitpicker were grading on the sole metric of photo-realism & going over every frame of DOGGY & THE WHORE with a magnifying glass. You'd think the hurried post-production 90 mil straight-to-streaming movie would have much more noticeable artifice. So I think having the good fortune of real dogs being on set to constantly reference for lighting & movement is key. Even with a longer post time & 50 million extra dollars to spend on CALL OF THE WILD -- just knowing I had that post-production headache of having to create 100% of the wilderness scenery & elements in addition to the main character would feel daunting..
