I LOVE Mark Rober ❤️
His Squirrel Olympics are sheer genius 👏👏👏👏👏
@TCMuffin@toot.wales he's incredible. Teaching science in such a fun and interesting way. But also showing that he's not perfect and has to iterate to get things right.
Just watched Mark Rober's #TED talk on engaging science in the classroom.
He's created Class Crunchlabs to engage students and make a teacher's job easier. All classes are FREE forever.

@ozoned I think that gets forgotten quickly in fandoms where there is a large body of work. For example, huge fan of most of Star Trek.
@fuzzface@epsilon-ix.masto.host I'm a big Trekkie. Grew up watching reruns of TOS and watched TNG as a kid when it released. Rewatching as an adult.
@ozoned Ponyo is lovely too. And it has the world's most competent 5 year old as a main character 😆
@quadrivial@beige.party my kids might enjoy it then as well.
@ozoned You can be a huge fan and not love everything an artist produces.
@fuzzface@epsilon-ix.masto.host excellent point! Never thought if it that way. 😄 tY!

Yup. Still missing the mark with Young Frankenstein.

@ozoned @Mrfunkedude
my favourites are: Nausicaa for its evergreen story, Pom Poko for its whimsicality, Princess Mononoke for its passion and nature themes, and Porco Rosso for its wits.
@argonaut@mastodon.social I'm only familiar with Nausica and Monoke. I'll check out the others as well tY!
@ozoned Oh I have had this problem with many classics! Often when a movie becomes too influential the references have introduced me to all the great parts before I see them, and it turns my experience of the movie into a mash up of all the movies that come after it!
It's like listening to the Beatles but only after you have gone to see every band inspired by them. Sure it's good, but there is nothing that makes it feel original anymore.
@theeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.social yeah I think this is exactly it. I've watched a LOT of movies and I think you've named it exactly.
@ozoned I never quite got into it either. However, last I saw it I was a teenager. I watched some of samurai jack first when I was a teenager and couldn't stand how slow it was, love that series now.
@theeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.social yeah, young Frankenstein has all the right pieces, but it just never came together for me. Part way through now and I see the genius, but it still just isn't hitting the right spot. I want to love it. I think because I've seen other Mel Brooks movies first the jokes I already know.

@splendorr@mastodon.social tY! Excited to watch.
And now for something completely different. Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks. I love Mel Brooks movies, but Young Frankenstein never hit for me. Trying again though. I know it's a classic.

@ozoned Ponyo is more like Kiki, and Nausica moves towards something different thematically - but it’s also a very great movie.
@mosgaard@uddannelse.social tY I need wholesome. 😄
@ozoned Nausicaä is my favorite Ghibli (adjacent) movie by some margin. 👍
I don't have a way to filter https://anime.jfietkau.me by studio, but feel free to check the list for any candidates if you want my opinion, I've seen all of them except the newest one. 🙂
@julian@fietkau.social thank you. I'll check out!
Kikis Delivery Service is a lovely wholesome movie. I think I lines Howl's Moving Castle art and animation more, but Kiki is so cute and wonderfully wholesome. Highly recommend.
I've also seen Totoro and that's just magical.
Maybe I'll watch Ponyo or Nausica next. Any suggestions?

That's one of my top 3 Ghibli movies, next to Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. But I'll watch all of them every few years or so.
@DrOinOR@mastodon.social saw the walling castle or whatever it's called and the art animation is GORGEOUS, but I didn't really understand the story. 😁 I think cultural differences.
