Mal ,'The Train Job'
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.
Okay, Edge of Tomorrow was all I ask of a summer movie: things went boom, asses were kicked, and Emily Blunt really was a BAMF.
Was there a post-credits scene? The people we were with wanted to leave, so we acquiesced.
Agents of SHIELD has ruined me for Bill Paxton, because I just wanted to yell "Don't trust him!" and also "Hail Hydra!" when he was onscreen.
My son really wants to see "How To Train Your Dragon 2" but I've heard there's a traumatic scene early on. I managed to find out what the scene is, but without any context. (Major spoiler) Toothless kills Hiccup's father. Which out of context gives me a serious "WTF? Why would anyone want to see this movie?" Has anyone seen it that can explain a bit and give a general idea of trauma-level?
Kalshane,
(Major spoiler) There's an alpha dragon that basically can control the other dragons. Toothless is obeying him and tries to kill Hiccup, and Stoic takes the bullet for him.
Let me know if you need more info.
Thank you, Dana. That helps. Not sure if he's ready for that yet or not. He hasn't even seen Bambi yet and this sounds far more traumatic.
I think it is clear (at least by the end) that it's not Toothless' fault, and Hiccup doesn't blame him, but no lie, it's pretty sad.
Watched Enough Said, the James Gandolfini/Julia Louis-Dreyfus movie last night. It seems like it would have been really hard to promote effectively even if Gandolfini hadn't died before it came out, but I quite liked it.
Kalshane, I took Matilda to see it and she's pretty sensitive to such stuff. And she understood that Toothless was under control of the Alpha Dragon. Which is also explicitly stated by another character.
We really enjoyed the movie.

I thought it was a great combination of the sweetness and "realness" of a new relationship.
The kids I was with weren't affected by that scene, other than one of them being annoyed at how different the movies are from the books.
Oh, one thing I forgot about Edge of Tomorrow: I would love to see a movie of nothing but Rita and Mako Mori kicking all kinds of ass.
