    I can see why it speaks to her.

    She went too far with this

    Federico Fellini was a titan of 20th century cinema, four time winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. He often cited his debt to American comic strips and comic books.

    He had been a cartoonist before he was a film director and usually sketched comic style drawings of scenes and characters to create in his movies. (Sort of precursors to storyboards so widely used today.)

    But he felt that the two media could never truly meld, saying,

    “Comics and the ghostly fascination of those paper people, paralysed in time, marionettes without strings, unmoving, cannot be transposed to film, whose allure is motion, rhythm, dynamic. It is a radically different means of addressing the eye, a different mode of expression."

    But, in a conversation with longtime friend Stan Lee, he also said that he experienced comics as “slow movies.” (He had sought out and befriended Lee, telling him he greatly admired his work.)

    I wonder what he’d have thought of Nancy’s complaint against “slow movies.”

    Well some things never change. The woke character in the pink blanket still has the gift of gab, talking a mile a minute about their self righteous opinions, whereas the character in the blue blanket is quiet and actually is demeaned by being forced to sit on the floor like the dog of the house.

    For similar reasons, I’m not allowed to talk during Family Movie Night.

    This one’s a bit forced.

    Nancy is making a point on how she accentuates her views on the movies her aunt likes before asserting her opinion on aunt Fritzi’s favourite movies.

    The pacing in really old television is really slow too. Scenes can drag on, and dialogue is repetitious. They just say the same things over and over, rehashing whatever was just said. And they just linger.

    Also, some periods of literature.

    I like the gradually increasing takeover of the panel space by Nancy’s word balloons, and the shift of Fritzi’s mouth position from pleasure to concern to disapproval.
