Ice Age (2002 film) Puns

If you're like me and you've watched all five Ice Age films, as well as both of the holiday specials and the eight short films, you'll notice that humans are never mentioned beyond the 2002 original. The series goes from having its toes dipped in reality to gradually becoming far more cartoony with the introduction of dinosaurs, pirates, aliens, and cults of eternally young animals. And, if you're like me, you've lost sleep over this fact. Where did humanity go? Like, Jesus, we just watched 81 minutes of trying to SAVE a human baby, did they just stop existing after that?

Yes.

Let me explain.

Included with the DVD and Blu-ray releases of Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) is a short film entitled "No Time For Nuts" where the lovable Scrat discovers the skeleton of a scientist buried under the snow. In the palm of the scientist's hand? A time machine. Scrat does as Scrat does and gets into a variety of hijinks that eventually culminates in him being thrown into some strange alternate dimension with a lot of clocks and acorns. Clearly, this is some sort of rip in the space-time continuum, which angers God. But would a just God be angry at Scrat, a simple creature that knows only how to fend for himself and try his best to survive, or would God be angry at those who ENABLED the poor saber-toothed squirrel to cause such damage? The clear answer is the latter, but God is not one who acts with a scalpel. His decision is to bring the hammer down on ALL of humanity, for they have attempted to play God. But luckily for Him, He was able to catch humanity's affront long before it TRULY happened, catching it in 20,000 B.C. rather than whatever year humanity invented time travel. Unfortunately, the effects of the time rip are still felt throughout the greater Ice Age world, causing anachronistic details like diegetic music that would not exist for thousands of years appearing in four of the films.

In Ice Age: The Meltdown, there is not a single mention of humanity, but several details in the herd's sophomore outing hint at humanity’s demise. For starters, let's take a look at the premise. A great flood has surrounded the valley where the film is set, and the animals have to travel to the opposite end of the valley to reach a large boat that will save them from the flood. Straight off the bat, the plot is oddly biblical, reinforced by the imagery in the crowd sequences where the animals are mostly seen marching two by two. We also know that a great flood is part of God’s

The first James Bond film of the new millennium! Okay, okay, I realize that most of you think that Die Another Day is worse than Hitler AIDS, but how does it compare to the other big films of 2002? Is it near the top of the heap? Or at the bottom? Or somewhere in the middle? Does it Vanquish the competition (see what I did there?), or do an inordinate number of other huge franchises triumphantly say, "Yo mama!"? Let's take a look.

Growing up The Count of Monte Cristo was one of the first novels I have read and I still consider it one of the best books I have ever read so I remember being very excited to watch the movie when it first came out but I was pretty disappointed with it because of how loosely it adapted the novel.

Since then I become quite a movie buff and decided to give the movie another try during the lockdown and I'm glad I did because my opinion of it changed quite a lot. As an adaptation, it's a lousy movie. but judging it purely on its cinematic merits the movie immediately became one of my favorite adventure films.

I'm not sure why the movie got so forgotten, but that shouldn't have happened. Phone Booth is a classic chamber play that is almost exclusively performed by Colin Farrell in an old phone booth in New York.

Joel Schumacher (director), Matthew Libatique ( cinematography) and Larry Cohen (script) keep the tension high throughout the film and are masters at leaving out useless things. With a running time of almost 80 minutes, this makes for an extremely entertaining experience. After seeing the film again after almost 20 years, I can only recommend giving it another chance. You will not regret it.

John Laroche : Point is, what's so wonderful is that every one of these flowers has a specific relationship with the insect that pollinates it. There's a certain orchid look exactly like a certain insect so the insect is drawn to this flower, its double, its soul mate, and wants nothing more than to make love to it. And after the insect flies off, spots another soul-mate flower and makes love to it, thus pollinating it. And neither the flower nor the insect will ever understand the significance of their lovemaking. I mean, how could they know that because of their little dance the world lives? But it does. By simply doing what they're designed to do, something large and magnificent happens. In this sense they show us how to live - how the only barometer you have is your heart. How, when you spot your flower, you can't let anything get in your way.

Holy fuck am I tired of hearing dumb ass coworkers and boomers preaching this mantra. Yesterday I was talking to a 50 year old man about how crazy the heat wave is. “The world has been in a state of warming since the last ice age,” he says. “It’s not this Justin Troudeau global warming bullshit.” Like seriously? You’re fucking 50. The thought of “maybe we ARE in a state of natural warming” crossed my mind when I was like 15 and in the stoner phase, and 5 minutes of research proved that warming/climate change has been dramatically increased since we started burning fossil fuels.

And I know that “global warming” doesn’t mean that we will start seeing 35 degree summers, it refers to the average global temperature going up more than 1 degree Celsius over a certain amount of time. What the heat wave is, in my opinion, is a result of climate change - we are seeing more extreme weather patterns more frequently. It’s pretty simple fact backed by scientists. But where I live in rural Alberta, try explaining this to Farmer Tom and Operator John. There are so many people who are misinformed, ignorant, or just plain stupid. This shouldn’t be a left vs. right, “Trudeau pussies vs. “I work in trades/oilfield/construction therefore I’m conservative and why don’t straight males get a month of recognition like the gays” “ kind of argument, yet for some reason it is.

Feel free to call me a complainer, but as a young person, we have a hell of a lot to complain about these days - cost of living, housing prices, wages, wealth inequality, climate change. It’s hard to feel very optimistic about the future these days - and easy to find things to complain about. If only the solutions to these problems were as easily accessible.

Edit: format

I'm very new to fan edits but it has quickly become a huge source of enjoyment. For my first project, I decided to make an extended cut of the 2002 Scooby Doo film by adding in the deleted scenes from the blu ray. Using Topaz Labs: Video Enhance AI and color correction via Adobe Premiere Pro, I have been able to (somewhat) salvage and restore 6 minutes of deleted scenes (some look better than others). These scenes include:

-Original Animated Opening Credits.

-Drunk Velma Singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You".

-Spooky Island Tour (definitely one of the rougher scenes).

-Possessed Velma Locker Room Scene.

-A Kidnapped Scooby Doo Attempts An Escape By Faking A Heart Attack.

Almost every other deleted scene was beyond repair with what I had when I made this cut a few months ago. I'm still working on it though and honing my craft as an editor, I hope to one day add the scene where we see what the gang has been up to (Fred promoting his book, Velma in group therapy, Kung Fu Daphne). Just about everything else in the deleted scenes has unfinished CGI so those are lost causes as far as I'm concerned.

Again, I will point out that I am very new to this, this is a FAR from perfect cut and I am sure many of you could do much better, haha, but would anyone be interesting in seeing Scooby-Doo: ReDOOx? If so, I will see what I can do(o) to make it available.

Also, If anybody else has made a fan cut of Scooby Doo, I would love to see theirs as well!

Hello people. Everyone knows that Ice Age (2002) is an excellent animated dramedy film, however, the sequences are not so good. I like Ice Age 2: The Meltdown (2006) and Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2008), but I don't like Ice Age 4: Continental Drift (2012) and I hate Ice Age: Collision Course (2016 ) aka the worst slapstick comedy movie of all time. In those days I had an idea of how they could make an Ice Age 6 to redeem the franchise and bring the dramatic tone of the first film back with a story that only focuses on Manny, Sid and Diego, just like the first film. Don't forget to give your ideas on how to redeem the franchise.

What if there was something like a dark and edgy plot in the next Ice Age movie as an excuse for redeem the franchise, bring back Manny, Sid and Diego as the only protagonists (like in the first film) as well as bringing the human element as the emotional factor of the story, like in the first film, and make a decent conclusion for Manny’s character arc, bring back the dramedy tone of the first film and using a idea similar to Jurassick Park (1993)?

                                Ice Age:
                     It’s a Wonderful Mammoth: 
                           The Final Chapter 
                    (my idea for the title of the film was
                     inspirated in It’s a Wonderful Life (1947)
                     directed by Frank Capra)

Title in México- La Era de Hielo: ¡Qué bello es ser un Mamut!

Manny lives together with Ellie, Peaches, Fast Tony, Sid, Diego, Buck, Rudy, Crash and Eddie and realizes that everyone is careless and even today Manny wonders what happens to humans. Manny has a bad day and gets sick, so he sees a fleeting star and wishes that everything ends. Scrat causes a catastrophe in the Ice Age and there, Manny, Roshan (the human baby of the first film, but adult now), Sid, Mama Dino (the mother T-Rex of 3), Diego, Rudy, Scrat, Scratte (the female squirrell of Ice Age 3) and the Sloths of Ice Age 2: The Meltdown are frozen and then they resurrect today (2024 AD), caught in a park that serves as tourist attraction for us, however, Manny is the only one that keeps the things that happened in the first 3 films , because Sid and Diego have forgotten all about and act as if they never hubiered with Manny. So Sid is the marrief with mommy Dino (mommy T-R
