Buffistas

Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

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

DH and I saw Pacific Rim last night, and it was HUUUUUUUUGE.

There is more or less no plot. It's 2.5 straight hours of giant robots punching giant monsters in the face. And it was AWESOME.

Highly recommend seeing in IMAX 3D because, as I mentioned, there is basically no plot. I couldn't even tell you one of the characters' names. (There's Bland Ryan Gosling, Australian Bland Ryan Gosling, Australian Bland Ryan Gosling's Dad, Japanese Girl, Science Nerd Guy, British Science Nerd Guy, That Guy From That Other Movie, Ron Perlman, and Idris Elba.)

But Guillermo del Toro should be allowed to get his Michael Bay on more often, because he is REALLY good at it. My arms are sore from all the fist pumping I was doing when the giant robot punched the giant monster really hard.

hip deep in pie

Your review actually makes me want to see it, and I had no desire to before.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Exactly what I was thinking.

Because books.

Do you mean Charlie Hunnam is Bland Ryan Gosling (or Bland Australian Ryan Gosling)? He's too pretty to be bland! At least on Sons of Anarchy.

If he's the lead, he's Bland Ryan Gosling. (Even though he's apparently really Australian, he doesn't play one in this movie.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Did you get any swag?

Oh, I thought he was British. Well, he's lovely to look at so I'm sure I'll see it anyway.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

There is more or less no plot.

That is slightly disappointing.

It's 2.5 straight hours of giant robots punching giant monsters in the face. And it was AWESOME.

But that is promising.

Highly recommend seeing in IMAX 3D

I am!!

Yaaaaaay. I don't know, I was just complaining about movies that rely too much on action sequences that should be exciting but end up being really boring (cf. Man of Steel), but action-action-action still works if it's full to the brim with badassery.
