A collection of some of my favourite Nimona reviews on letterboxd
[ID: A compilation of Letterboxd reviews for Nimona 2023.
Kera McKeon, 5 stars: Nimona needing 1000 years to get over her toxic homoerotic friendship with a straight girl is just like me fr
Jessica Wessica, 4 stars: Bal and Ambrosius never got those nachos they ordered đđđđ
deadgayson, 5 stars: ChloĂ« Grace Moretz saying âIf you donât, youâll die in this closetâ is gay cinema at its finest
Dorian Yi, 4 stars: Breaks animation tradition, not by having an emphasis on LGBTQIA+ relationships and stories, but by having their cartoon dance party at the midpoint of the film instead of at the end.
Jane Mahoney, 4 stars: I love a movie that appreciates the appeal of a sad man with big wet eyes
deadgayson, 5 stars: Who the hell wouldâve been intimidated by a guy with a name like Evil Larry
_123joshua, 4 and a half stars: Disney found dead in a ditch
AJ, 4 stars: âHate to say it⊠but you make a pretty good bad guy.â How many fantasy movies do you get a subway sax player belting out 'Careless Whisperâ? No clue on an actual number, but 'Nimonaâ is definitely on that list.
gia, 5 stars: haters mad ballister can experience the joy of fatherhood and being gay. /end ID]
Theyâre also shooting for 100% renewable plastic sources by 2030! All of the soft plant/leaf elements in sets right now and going forward are made out of bioplastic made from sugarcane, and theyâre working on getting the regular hard plastic bricks out of that, too.
Theyâve done it, actually! The full bricks are in the prototype stage now, and are expected to be 100% biodegradable without the need for a commercial compost facility. Itâs very cool. Right now theyâre testing the durability and playability of the bricks and seeing what needs to be revised/reworked on their final model.
So its that easy huh
Of course it is
Actually, this isnât âeasyâ and is huge news. You see, Lego is absolutely meticulous about their quality control. Their standards for manufacturing are stupidly high, as are their safety requirements. You know that distinctive âclickâ when you pop two Lego bricks apart? They engineered that. That sound is so distinctive that it can be used to tell genuine Lego bricks from counterfeits and itâs a sound that would be based on shape and material.
Furthermore, one of the hard requirements for a Lego brick is that it must be compatible with any other Lego brick. If I buy a set today and pull a set from the 1980s? Those bricks would fit together perfectly. This requires a huge amount of precision engineering and controls on manufacturing quality. (I canât remember the source, but Iâve at least heard that once the brick molds wear to a certain point, theyâre pulled from the line and either melted down or turned into construction material for Lego HQ. Point being, no one is getting their hands on a worn Lego mold)
Recycled and non-petroleum plastics are different from other plastic. The chemistry is different. The timing and process to use them is different. This has been a reason why more companies havenât moved to them, because thereâs a drop in quality for material (so they claim).
What Lego just did is completely obliterate that argument. The corporation with some of the strictest quality control requirements for plastic just kicked the basic foundation of the âbad qualityâ argument out from under it, because if they feel confident enough to guarantee the same experience as using a brick from over 40 years ago, if they are confident enough that they can meet their own metrics at a huge industrial scaleâŠ.
when you download a pdf and itâs called like 1328723486basdf12.pdf but then you gently rename it to what itâs supposed to be. thatâs forming a bond with a hurt and wild mythological creature and reminding it who it is.
“the sea doesn’t care about you!!” ok well just because the ocean is unspeakably powerful and can’t stop the rhythm she’s held for uncountable eons just for one person doesn’t mean she can’t love you. loving and changing are two different things. we wouldn’t have life without the ocean…. and yeah, if you don’t respect her and treat her cavalierly, you’ll perish. but how can anyone say the sea doesn’t mourn when she holds so much life and beautiful secrets in her belly? why are we putting atheism on the ocean that loves us?
you want the ocean to change for YOU? you think that being tamed is the only way for her to prove her love??? go sit on a rock by the seaside and listen to the tide. find some gratitude for one of the only things in existence that always keeps its promise to come back
