Host ,'Why We Fight'
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.
Here's a set of instructions that you must follow to the letter, for no good reason except that Aslan says so
Point, although the stories are pretty much full of various types of prophecy anyway, so I gave it a pass, especially since the reveals were somewhat unexpected.
That's true.
Heng mai, Erika! There's a car wash in my new town called Bunkey's. I've been mighty tempted to send you a picture, but I keep forgetting to take one when I drive by.
Bunkey Morgan is kind of evil.
That's too bad.
Spoiler-free review of TRON: Legacy:
I was fantastically relieved at how completely it didn't suck.
I'd gotten seriously wound up by all the negative reviews I'd been hearing about. So much so I was kind of dreading it, in case it failed hard.....and then it didn't.
I mean, there are criticisms to make (female agency, already!) but nothing that seems overwhelming, and it was just a fun, spectacular movie, with some interesting ideas in the background.
I don't know if the bad reviews are from disappointed expectations or if mine were just so low it seemed better than it was. I'm going to see it again soon in IMAX 3D(I was with a friend tonight who can't handle 3D) and we'll see what I think the second time.
END OF LINE
The parts that were awesome were REALLY AWESOME. And then there was the half-hour train ride to nowhere. Cut that scene out and the movie would have been a trim 90 minutes like the original, and wouldn't have stopped dead halfway through to give us the backstory for the animated TV spin-off.
I saw Tangled tonight with my little brother, and we both LOVED it. The animation was gorgeous and I thought it was hysterically funny.
Also, if you haven't seen it, MightyGodKing's review and comments (no spoilers so far) says pretty much everything else I want to, positive and negative.
mr. flea and the kids saw Tangled yesterday and love it too. I think mr. flea liked it even more than the kids did. I couldn't get him to stop talking about it!
