The Movie Thread

And I think the lead chick is kinda dismorphic.  It's good that girls with genetic abnormalities can star in ... productions of some sort.    

You talking about Anna Kendrick? Other than being five foot nothing, and having been a supporting actress in the Twilight movies, I don't see anything wrong with her.

Life of Pi was kind of ingenious with its narrative. I don't want to give to much away, but pretty much everyone has a different take on what precisely happened.

The book made me want to find the author and bludgeon him to death with a coffee pot. whatever was handy.  Does the movie also invoke these feelings?

It could. The feelings you describe are exactly what I feel when watching a Charlie Kaufman film, despite his popularity.

Saw Beautiful Creatures (helix wanted to)

As you can imagine, horrible, horrible dialogue and characters, it plays incredibly to infuriating stereotypes on the people you're not supposed to like, lack reality in the characters you are supposed to like.  But in the first hour or so there are some great one liners.  It gets slow in the middle- the teenage angst is palpable.  If they would have cut the ending about 2 minutes shorter, it could have been actually been pretty damn good- like by taking it in a completely unexpected direction, letting the main characters make the sacrifice, instead of a "having your cake and eating it too" ending.  But they went with standard teenage trope at the last second.

Alan Moore is making films now (I guess he's tired of having his stories adapted) ;D

Jimmy's End - Alan Moore & Mitch Jenkins

[Mission Difficult]

Saw John Dies at the End in the theater the other night. Enjoyed it a lot. I would highly recommend reading the book, but only after seeing the movie.

Pretty nice Oscars this year. Varied, tons of talent, no overly-long sequences or stupid "talent" shows. The only thing I would disagree with is Brave winning Best Animated. Every other film on there was better than Brave.

I watched Interview with a Vampire.

I am told that this movie is somewhat popular or a cult classic or something.

This movie is not a good movie.

Travel back to 1994 and rewatch it. 

[FlyingMongoose]

It is a well written dialogue, and a fantastic one at that. And a hell of a better story than this twilight bullshit.

Troll Hunter

It's pretty damn good. 

[Mission Difficult]

Sitting down to Sound City. I have a good feeling about this.

Troll Hunter

It's pretty damn good. 

I liked literally everything I read about that movie there.

I thought it was really good. If you really love music, are a musician, or an engineer I would recommend it. I think at its core it's about making music what it is.

Troll Hunter

It's pretty damn good. 

What a coincidence, I saw this yesterday as well.

Interesting film. Hans was awesome.

Out of all the things I've seen on the internet, I am now scarred for life.
