Film in 2017: Fish Fry

#41: The Final Destination & #18: Ponyo



After a young man's premonition of a deadly race-car crash helps saves the lives of his peers, Death sets out to collect those who evaded their end.

It's the same as the other five or six movies. People die, people evade death, who cares. The only highlight is a man who says a racial slur being killed immediately afterward. Wish it was like that IRL.

A five-year-old boy develops a relationship with Ponyo, a young goldfish princess who longs to become a human after falling in love with him.

There is something extremely charming and cosy about this movie, a modified telling of The Little Mermaid. The bit where she runs on the waves is always super beautiful.
