A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I made it all the way through.
Does it make more sense after the clip of Buffy vs. Dracula on the television?
It was pretty cool, and it had rockin' subtitles.
Subtitles on a movie in English. Mmm...I didn't think of that. It might have cleared up a few of the spots were I got confused.
It's...not in English. It's in Russian. You must be watching a dubbed version.
And I always thought it made enough sense to follow for the most part, although it did have this nasty habit of, like, not explaining anything. If you keep going, it should make more sense, though.
Has anyone here managed to make it through Nightwatch?
Yep, twice. It makes a LOT more sense the second time through, given the creators' utter lack of acquaintance with exposition. (I still liked it the first time through, but there's a ton of information thrown out in the first 30 minutes or so that went completely over my head because I didn't realize so much of it was going to be important later on.)
Subtitles on a movie in English.
?? Unless there's a dubbed version out there, only the opening narration is in English.
It's in Russian. You must be watching a dubbed version.
I got whatever Netflix sent me. It was bad dubbing, regardless because at one point, I could barely understand the lines.

Whenver I thought it was making sense they showed the vortex and I got lost. I may give it another try.
I'm not even sure I ever really understood the Gloom.
Just how many fricking CGI funny animal movies have there been this year?
Are you defining funny by intent, or by achievement?
"Funny animal" is a pretty well-established genre. Parse it however you like.
Just wondering about the perceived success. If the funny animal movies have been funny, well, there's your answer right there.
There have been a superabundance of talking animal movies this summer. And that's with Pixar going automobile on us. What I've belatedly come to realize is that every studio has an animation unit now. It's not just Pixar, Disney and Dreamworks with a side of Aardman.
