Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I don't like the Incredibles. I find the message icky, and disapprove of it as a film to show my child.

Says the woman who is allowing mass consumption of Beatrix Potter, which is no doubt at least as icky, but contains too much nostalgia for my brain to be rational regarding. (Plus, the BBC animated ones are lovely. They really are.)

(Even if, OMG, I am SO SICK of Jemima Freaking Puddleduck and her Egg Angst.)

(And Tom Kitten, and his beautiful tail and blue coat. Singe away, buster. Kitten Dumpling Roly Poly Pudding ON THE MENU.)

I like Monsters, Inc, but Paul is not as fond. Lilo and Stitch is a total weeping sobfest for me. I rarely cry at movies, but that one guts me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, but the Skratt comic interludes were almost as good as Roger Rabbit shorts for Rube Goldbergesque, whackaloon comic timing.

I kept hearing this, but never really got the appeal when I saw it.

OMG, I am SO SICK of Jemima Freaking Puddleduck and her Egg Angst

BWAH!

I find the message icky, and disapprove of it as a film to show my child.

Yes, this. Which is a shame because there's a lot I like about the film. But the things I don't like are hard to get over.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Lilo and Stitch is a total weeping sobfest for me. I rarely cry at movies, but that one guts me.

Yeah. Stitch is such a surly, snarly malcontent. They really didn't try to fuzzy him up. And the sister is trying so so hard. And Lilo with the punishing her friends, and her bug infested Scrump and her flabby tourist love.

Compassionately intolerant

a common phrase for expressing frustration

For me it's "Oh sure, blame it on the guy with ONE EYE!" from Monster's Inc. Love.

eta: Plus, I can do a respectable rendition of Boo saying "kyitty!" which I also love.

Maybe because you were trying to claw your eyes out?

God, I hated the Skratt segments. I hate watching things where hte point of the thing is to prevent a creature from achieving something. Why the fuck can't the poor guy get one damned acorn!

That poor Trix rabbit. Even as I kid, I wanted that rabbit to just take out a knife and start shanking all those kids who would let him have any damned cereal.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Why the fuck can't the poor guy get one damned acorn!

Same reason large dude in Lilo & Stitch is constantly denied his mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Always Anti-fascist!

I think Ratatouille was one of the best animated movies I saw in a long time. Also, Lilo and Stitch. I don't see a lot of them. They disappoint me often.
