Oh god Persepolis was one of the best movies I have ever seen.

This.
Which reminds me, I still want to see Waltz with Bashir. Any opinions?
Re: The Movie Thread - KarthXLR - 06-25-2010
Watched "The Terminal" today. It was really good.Â
Re: The Movie Thread - copulatingduck - 06-26-2010
Saw Sandlot Friday night with a couple friends. Ran into the same group sans the dudes today and watched Toy Story 3. Both movies exceeded my expectations. Either I am easier to amuse than ever (certainly possible), or Sandlot ages incredibly well.
Also, I thought Toy Story 3 was more powerful emotionally than Up as, fwiw

But seriously, Toy Story 3 was kind of sad. Nowhere near as sad as UP's first ten minutes.
Re: The Movie Thread - copulatingduck - 06-26-2010
idk, I think a lot of it just comes from actually growing up with the movies. I had a buzz lightyear and woody when i was a kid. you were what, 3 or 4 years old when the original came out karth? And sure, Up tickled a heartstring or two in the opening, but the rest of the film was pretty light-hearted shenanigans after. Toy Story started off with some incredibly depressing imagery from the get go and was a roller-coaster from there on out. How deep Toy Story hits you depends entirely on how familiar you are with the emotions the toys are going through, struggling with abandonment, betrayal, jealousy, sacrifice, and a plethora of other nasty feelings. And honestly, Andy's last scene with the toys is - a bit embarassingly - going to be one that I never forget. Powerful doesn't have to mean depressing Karth, if you're gonna go into film you'd do well to remember that.

This, I had a Buzz Lightyear Action Figure who talked.
God did that own, I love those movies. Need to see 3 so bad.

will you be ok after that one karth?
Re: The Movie Thread - KarthXLR - 06-27-2010
I didn't see those things in the last scene of Toy Story 3. Maybe that's just me. And I know that powerful doesn't always mean depressing. For me, UP had a really sad opening (seriously, if you didn't bawl you're a robot), but what really got me was the scene of him looking at his wife's adventure book (up on the paradise falls). The pure raw emotion of that scene is one that's implanted in my memory, and honestly, I'm probably going to think of that whenever I think of a heartwarming emotional moment.
Also I still have a Woody and Buzz Lightyear toy.Â
Re: The Movie Thread - Didzo - 06-27-2010
I watched Edward Scissorhands tonight.
Re: The Movie Thread - beep beep diglett - 06-27-2010
i think toy story 3 is alot more powerful for people with kids, a buddy of mine who just recently had a kid was p much bawling thru the whole thing, idk just something i noticed
Re: The Movie Thread - copulatingduck - 06-27-2010
i think it's more just because having children makes you weak

Watched a movie where two people fall in love and it turns out they are both dying of cancer. And the girl has some kind of ovarian cancer so she also can't have kids. Why do fucked up movies like that get made?Â

To make people feel miserable.
I think.

Because it probably is very meaningful to some people with similar life experiences. The first time I saw Lost in Translation, like 3 years ago, I thought it was the dumbest most bland movie. I couldn't understand how the characters could be so stupid. Then I went through some life events, grew in different ways, and can appreciate it more.

Re: The Movie Thread - KorJax - 06-27-2010
We're having a 20th Century Boy's movie marathon at our house today. I'll only be able to make it through the first 1.5 movies (out of 3) before I go to work since they are 3 fucking hours long.
But still pretty interesting ;D

Hehe, Pussy Galore.

Saw the original "Producers" tonight. Was good.

Re: The Movie Thread - KarthXLR - 07-02-2010
Wow, The Last Airbender was pretty bad.
Shame too. It had some gorgeous cinematography and some nice special effects, but the dialogue was laughably bad and the choreography was equivalent to that of Power Rangers. The first two acts are passed by so fast that they might as well not have even been there.
Stay away from it unless you absolutely need to see it.
Re: The Movie Thread - beep beep diglett - 07-02-2010
my 12 step requires me to see atleast 1 movie a week and ive seen all the others
