[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Pom Poko. balls to the walls weird movie.

[–] girl@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

goddamn I figured it was in the style but didn’t expect it to be a real movie lmao

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's a solid movie about the tanuki fighting off human expansion into their habitat, by using their balls as weapons

[–] bestnerd@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

Not just weapons but means of travel and air transportation. Glider balls ftw

You should check it out, it's definitely a silly lighthearted children's movie about folklore-inspired tanuki with big balls, and not about the ever increasing encroachment of civilization and the effects it has on the environment! 😌

The parade of ghosts is one of my favorite scenes in any Ghibli movie

[–] Gruntyfish@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Balls to the walls is also a good summary of this movie

Underrated Ghibli.

The ending is very melancholy (not that that's unusual with Ghibli).

Didn't the shrine this is based on eventually get shutdown?

Edit: actually it didn't https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZzDNUirttcQTMMRS7

isn't there a big thing in Japanese culture where tanookis have huge balls (not figuratively)

very unrelated tangent (a tangent tangent?)I want to just say 'literally' but 'literally' now means 'literally (figuratively)' and saying 'literally literally' is more awkward than saying 'not figuratively' but saying 'not figuratively' makes grammar nerds angry at me so I added this random tangent to sate the grammar nerds

typing the spoiler title made my head hurt

comment on the very related tangentNah, if you used "literally" you would have helped the reputation of the word.

[–] yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

about your tangentWouldn't 'quite literally' be sufficient to get across the intended meaning of literally? Bear in mind, I'm not a native speaker so I have no clue if this is generally accepted.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

the issue with saying 'quite

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

fuck me lemmy cut off the message for no reason

[–] yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

Must be because Lemmy knows I'm right and there aren't any issues with my argument 😎
