>movie is supposedly lamenting the decline of public transit in favor of cars and the interstate>outside of maybe two scenes at the very beginning eddie never takes the trolley and is always seen using a taxi
why is eddie using a real steering wheel
>>152107713It isn't "lamenting the decline". It was based on a real world crime in which General Motors and several other companies, conspired to dismantle what was considered to be among the most effective transit systems that existed in the world at the time. In the real world, the bad guys got away with it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_conspiracy
>>152107736If it was superior, why didn't Eddie use the trolley instead of driving Benny the cab?He even says something along the lines of "it's the best way to get around" and never uses it againRoger Rabbit is about tyrannical governments using eminent domain to steal her citizens' private property
>>152107771This can't be a real question, right? Fine... Public transport goes to its "stops", and you have to follow the schedule. It doesn't go directly to the sudden places you think up on a whim.
>>152107788Yeah, you use it for commuting and chores like shopping and getting downtown or to leisure activities (the bulk of what people do), not gumshoeing. Delivery drivers aren't going to be taking it either.
>>152107788Hence it is inherently the inferior form of transportationYou are only able to go to locations where there are rail lines (which were more expensive to make than pavement) and can only stop at specified locations, at best you have that line you can pull to request a stop, you are at the mercy of someone else's predetermined schedule and have to account for other people's required stopsCompared to having much more freedom in movement, the ability to go whenever you want, in usually a much shorter period of time, maybe you'd have to deal with traffic if your city's retarded or it's a bad time of day, but you don't miss your chance or have to wait for another bus/tram if you're lateYou have to be legitimately autistic to think trams are superior
>>152107863Do what you want. It's your money.
>>152107863Was this thread just your excuse to have an /n/ vs /o/ debate on /co/? Why? You could go to /o/ if you want validation or you could go to /n/ if you want to hear actual arguments in favor of public transport, but you decided the best place to do this was the comics and cartoons board. You are a faggot and you do not deserve serious responses.
Whatever. The transport part of the movie is lame discussion.What are your pitches for another type of this movie, pitting live action protag against toon or animated protag? Personally, a 00's Nick/CN/Disney crossover would have been kino.That or a 50's sequel to the OG Roger Rabbit. Maybe freeways aren't as big as a deal in this timeline because of the ending of the first, or toon cars stretch over roads and helps solve traffic. The acceptance of toons also means minorities are accepted mostly but there are still some underlying prejudice there. Perhaps one of the villains is trying to revive some movement. Roger is struggling with the 50's humor being more parodic, family sitcoms/soap operas, and people like Chuck Jone's humor superseding the over-the-top zaniness and slapstick that he is good at. I guess as part of this pitch, Eddie would have to be recast. Or not, I dunno.My last pitch would be a collection of internet and recent cartoons as well. Probably some sort of teen who has to go to a school filled with these underground cartoon characters and has to act as the goofy one compared to the internet characters who are all hyperreal or "relateable."Finally, which is the better short, Rollercoaster Rabbit or Tummy Trouble? Tummy has a better budget from the looks of the cels and the slapstick in it but Rollercoaster seems a bit more ambitious and is a bit more funny writing wise. I guess Rollercoaster is more impressive and fun to me.
