I wanted to like Big Fish, but I remember leaving the movie still angry at the dad.
But I liked all the fantasy stuff with Ewan McGreggor.

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.

Huh, really? Because I spent most of the movie being furious with the son. But then the dad in Big Fish is pretty much my dad, so ...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I was angry with the son myself.

I wanted to slap him. Repeatedly.
Hmm, I should throw a Tim Burton movie on tonight to keep me company while I'm working OT on the dayjob deadline.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The dad was rather like my grandfather. I saw both sides, but was also frustrated with both of them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How beautiful is this?
On a technical level, I want to know what kind of post-processing gives your colours such...textures. On an "awwwww!" level...awwwwwwwwww!

I can do that in Color Efex Pro.
I’m worried, because the company was just bought out by Google, so there’s always the possibility that the software will just go away someday.

Saw Taken 2 last night. Really not Good. The only redeemable moments for me were a couple of okay fights and some close-ups of Neeson's world-weary and totally dreamy blue eyes.

What, specifically, are you doing to get that, Tom?
I wish there was a proper thread to discuss picture-making things.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Did they set things up for Taken 3: And Your Little Dog, Too?
