Re: The Movie Thread - fyre - 05-28-2009
I forgot to say I watched The Man Who Wasn't There last week. It was pretty great. I think the fact that I saw it after reading The Stranger made me appreciate it more.
Re: The Movie Thread - K2 - 05-29-2009
I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey again today. Great film, but so damn ssssslllllllllooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww
Re: The Movie Thread - SBCrystal - 05-29-2009
That's Kubrick for ya, though. At least it's not nearly as bad as Barry Lyndon. :/

The making of the movie is actually interesting. Clarke wrote it on the request of Kubrick for him and then wrote the book alongside it. It was a pretty strong collaboration. Also the book helps you understand the movie a lot better, something Kubrick was actually unhappy with because he wanted things to remain inscrutable.
Re: The Movie Thread - KarthXLR - 05-29-2009
Saw "UP" today with a few of my friends.
Bloody fantastic movie from start to finish. It's officially my favorite Pixar film.
You know what this means?
GO SEE "UP" RIGHT NOW. SERIOUSLY.

I read the book. It was ok.
The film was great, technically speaking. Great cinematography, great special effects, etc. But IMO, it's nothing more than a technical exercise. Nothing really happened. I don't think it deserves to be called a "movie".
I dunno, I should probably watch it again sometime, cuz I've only seen it once and that was a long time ago. Maybe I'll appreciate it more now that I'm older. I doubt it though.

But Kubrick was capable of making incredibly engaging movies. Dr. Strangelove, for instance. There isn't a dull moment in that movie.
Re: The Movie Thread - SBCrystal - 05-29-2009
You know, you're right. That and FMJ are both fucking awesome movies.

I enjoyed the book quite a bit, but I agree with you about the movie. I do kind of enjoy it more for the visuals and adherence to actual space physics than for the story (which I missed a lot of the first time I saw it, before I read the book). It's kind of sad that the most accurate portrayal of outer space in a Hollywood movie is over forty years old.

Watched Transporter 2. It was a fun action movie/Audi commercial.
Re: The Movie Thread - KarthXLR - 05-31-2009
saw UP again today. I really recommend it to anyone who's ever enjoyed a Pixar film.

Might be kinda cool.

This. Also I watched all of Full-Life Consequences earlier that day, so that was all I could think of every time Dug talked.
Re: The Movie Thread - fyre - 06-01-2009
I watched this over a year ago, but I just happened to think about it now for some reason. What is it, you ask? It is...the best adaptation of Alice in Wonderland EVAR. (Although, I have to admit I haven't seen all the adaptations, but I'm sure this is the best.) And it'll totally kick Burton's version's ass.
It's got a great surreal, dream-like feel that I just love. Here's one of my favorite scenes.
Alice in Wonderland (1966)
And here's a few bonuses...
Alice adventures in Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland (1966)
It's definitely worth a look if you're an Alice fan.

I just happened to reread this, and I realized that I kinda sounded like an asshole. :-\ Sorry 'bout that. I didn't mean to attack you or your taste or anything. Most of the time if I don't like a movie I'm just like...ok...whatever. But for some reason that movie pissed me off, and I get a bit mad whenever I think about. I dunno why.

Don't worry about it. I get the same way about Moulin Rouge. For some reason I cannot understand why anyone could possibly enjoy that movie.
