It’s time for another one of these. Be sure to post spoiler warnings if you’re posting any.
YAY, MOVIES!
So, I saw Wall-E the other day. Whoever made up the marketing campaign for the movie is brilliant. Everyone knew about it 6 months before it came out.
WALL-E SPOILER WARNING.
Contrary to what other people have said, I liked the way that the humans were portrayed. They had clearly gotten themselves into a bad situation, as humans tend to do, but a small, commited group lead the rebuilding of Earth. And I thought that was pretty cool.
Oh, and the credits were awesome.
END SPOILER.
First post?
Yeah, I liked Wall-E. A lot.
1- My friend said that there was a Sputnik reference in WALL-E. Did you see it?
I have been waiting for a movie thread foreveeerrrrrrrr. I really enjoyed Kit Kittredge an american girl ,it was really good.
2 – Wall-E was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time.
3 – No, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
4 – My friends are obsessed with American Girl Dolls, and wanted to go see that movie while we were in D.C.
Hmm. I shall have to see Wall-E when it comes to the little theater. But they haven’t even played Indiana Jones yet. -ergh-
6 – I LOVED INDIANA JONES.
Wall-E was the very definition of love itself.
Or something close to it, at least.
1- *agrees in general*
3- Nope. I wish I could watch it again and see where, though…
3- When he’s passing through the ring of space junk around Earth, Sputnik gets stuck on his face.
Indiana Jones was awesome, as always. Iron Man, too!
Anybody else a drive-in fan? Movies are so much more fun that way (except for the mosquitoes).
10 – I probably will never do that simply because of the mosquitoes.
9- Oh, okay. I was curious about that.
hmmm…my favorite movie was probably….OOTP?LOTR? The Da Vinci Code?
STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE ALL THE WAY.
I saw The Golden Army yesterday. It was rather awesome. Better than the first one.
I had first post! Where’s my post?
I saw Wall-E; it was so adorable!
(16) Zapped because it didn’t have anything to say except “first post.”
17-Oh… okay. I’ll try to remember that next time…
National Treasure. It’s awesome. Not so much the second one, but the first pwns all.
18: National Treasure. Most certainly. (the first one, that is)
Right now, I like
Sky High
National Treasure
The Pink Panther
Unaccompanied Minors
Um, I know there are more… I can’t think of them right now though.
Sorry for the probable double post, but the comments box was shrinking and making it hard to see what I was typing.
So, I also liked Wall-E, but I couldn’t stop wondering about what was going to happen to the humans. Will they be able to get enough food? Will they be all right through the winter? What will they do to fix the earth? Do they know how to use technology like radios and television, or don’t they care?
Yes, I did think about all of that. Am I the only one who wondered how the humans will fare on their new planet? After all, they’ve never seen earth before. Okay, you can ignore that if you want.
I need to see wall-e!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
20- You didn’t stay through the credits, did you?
Wall-E is a great movie, but the movie I watched most recently was Star Wars VI. After I watched it, I had an urge to watch the other 5 movies. That’s what makes Star Wars awesome.
(22) I loved the credits! Of course, I always stay till the bitter end and am pleased when filmmakers see fit to reward me. This was one of the few times I wasn’t alone in the theater.
24- Yes, we do that too. One thing that puzzled me was how the ecosystem miraculously recovered… but later I realized that it was an idealized vision. They were just showing the final result without all the hard work that went into it.
22- a some one who will be in the film industry in the future, I don’t stay for them in theaders. But I do on DVDs.
Raise you hands in you watch Auto Cometary be the movie on DVDs?
*Rasies hands*
I do read the credits, but I also stay because it gives me some transition time, especially if I really liked the movie. I want to linger and let the mood soak in before the spell is broken.
Wall-E was really though-provoking. For some reason it left me kind of uncomfortable, though. I mean, it was cute and all, but it was like underneath there was something…bad, or just off. I dunno. I got the same feeling about Bug’s Life and Madagascar, so don’t pay any attention to me, I think I’m just weird like that.
By the by, I just saw Batman Begins, and may I just say it was COMPLETELY AWESOME!!!!!!! Christian Bale rocks my socks. *hearts* Did you know he did the voice for Howl In Howl’s Moving Castle?
28- Oh, I saw that too. I think that whoever played Bruce Wayne was not very good, having only two facial expressions, but everything else was very entertaining. Alfred alone made up for the deficit in title-role talent.
24, 25, 27- My friends and I always clap at the ends of movies and stay till the end of the credits. Our MIA teacher told us to because it’s respectful, and now, with out even thinking about it, we do. Even though some of us don’t take that class any more. I loved the credits!
WALL-E SPOILER.
I liked the haze around the earth, how you couldn’t quite tell what it was until WALL-E left the planet, and then it turned out to be composed entirely of satellites.
END SPOILER
19- Oh, I saw Sky High… It was cute.
28- Ohmygosh! I get that feeling too! Watching the trailers for Wall-E made me uncomfortable, like you just said.
RE: Staying through the credits: I like to do that, because a) I like the music (sometimes) and b) sometimes there are things at the end of them that I would miss otherwise. Plus I just like the dark theater. But last time I stayed through the credits (what movie was that? Can’t remember) my sister got bored and started hitting me and biting me and the like.
30 You clap at the end of movies? I want to, but it would make me feel awkward to be the only one…
18- National Treasure rocks!.
26- I buy DVDs for two reasons: 1) Audio commentary. 2) Special Features. If I just wanted to see the plain old movie, I could wait for it to be played on TV.
31- You really need to talk to your parents about your sister. From what you’ve told us, it seems like she’s constantly abusing you.
I like credits only if they do something interesting with them. Some credits have just boring black-and-white scrolling names, while some are really fun and creative.
The credits in Airplane! are hilarious.
SAMPLE:
Best Boy……………….[I don’t know, insert someone’s name here]
Worst Boy…………………….Adolf Hitler
28- Same here… I get the same feeling when I read some books, too.
34- Agreed. At the end of the Finding Nemo credits, you see Mike from Monsters, Inc. scuba-ing across the screen
I laughed very hard at that.
WALL-E SPOILER.
20 – Well, they do know some of it because of that cool dictionary feature on the captain’s screen. Where he was looking up dancing and stuff. And the credits…
22 – The credits rocked. I liked how they had all the different art styles.
24 – Yeah, we always stay through the credits. And this time there was the Buy&Large logo at the very end, so we thought there was going to be a mini-cartoon or something.
I love the little cleaning robot. He’s so adorable! ^^
END SPOILER.
31 – The credits for Wall-E were really cute.
33 – Trust me, I’ve talked to her. She’s…much worse then my brother.
34 – The credits for Wall-E (this isn’t much of a spoiler, don’t worry) were a bit like an epilouge at first, and then almost a little story around the credits all by itself.
M-O was hilarious. I wish they’d done a scene where he came out of the Axiom and just collapsed from the strain (because everything around him would be a “foreign contaminant.”)
33- Eh, she doesn’t actually hit that hard. And most of my injuries are self-inflicted. I’m still not sure how I managed to slice my thumb by opening the bottle of conditioner.
-is baffled-
39 – You sliced your hand open opening conditioner? *is baffled as well*
40- Yeah. It’s a sharp lid, I guess…
I need to see Wall-E! When I get back to CA, my friends and I are probably going to go see it together. But right now, I have no movies.
Newsies is an awesome movie!
41 – I think they make some of those plastic lids (on anything, really, not just conditioner) consumer-proof on purpose.
41 – I guess…
27- I read the credits! I went to see Wall-E with my friends Vikki, Mae and Elissa, and the voice of EVA was a girl named Elissa (spelled exactly so!) There was also a Victoria as one of the extras. We were all laughing.
38: That would be funny.
38 – Aww, that would have been so cute.
35-airplane! so funny
i stayed for the wall-e credits. we’re such geeks, we were comparing the opener and the credits to about every other pixar movie ever made. i’m sure we got a lot of funny looks, but that’s pretty much normal in my life
47 – I know! I love Airplane!
“This fog is getting thicker!”
“And Leon’s getting laaaarrrger!”
*heart Johnny* Luv that movie.
I always stay for credits. But I only clap if it’s a good movie (like at the end of the second Pirates movie, when Barbossa comes down the stairs).
Has anyone seen Some Like It Hot? Best ending lines ever.
I love LOTR and Star Wars! My favorite Pixar movie, of course, is WALL•E, and I like The Incredibles, too.
50 – LOTR? I don’t like the movie much.
STAR WARS ROCKS. SO DOES INDIANA JONES.
51 – I haven’t seen any of the LOTR movies. I like the books a lot, too.
52 – Yes, the books are flamablamablous!
LOTR and Star Wars are some of my favorite movies ever! I also like Men In Black 1 and 2, even if they do have notably fake elements to them.
R2D2 ROCKS YOUR SOCKS!
GEORGE LUCAS PWNS.
JOHN WILLIAMS PWNS.
STEVEN SPIELBERG PWNS.
HARRISON FORD PWNS.
Oh, and
NATALIE PORTMAN PWNS.
That she does.
57 –
I love how she plays Padme. 
54–I love MIB! Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are both great actors.
55–Totally agree. I saw John Williams conduct down at the Hollywood Bowl, he’s the best thing since sliced bread.
The original Star Wars were amazing. The new ones not so much. Hayden Christiansen makes a good evil Anakin, and Natalie Portman is a pretty Padme, but they’re waaaay too wooden–although maybe that was the best they could do with the lines they were given, those were even worse. “Ani, you’re breaking my heart!” Gaaaahhhh it’s like fingernails on a blackboard! Even I could have written a better line than THAT!
And don’t get me STARTED on Jar-Jar. I’m amazed George Lucas didn’t get sued for that character. Bleeeaaaah.
Ok. End of rant. Apologies to all the New Star Wars fans out there.
59 – Whaaaa? I LOVE Jar-Jar! Hmph.
I also like Independence Day. It’s as old as meee!
53- I liked the second one. The third was blah.
60- I know, I love that movie!!!!
59- Jar Jar is cute!!!!! He talks funneh.
Star Wars rocks!!!!
18 – National Treasure is fun.
24 – I do that too. The friend I usually see movies with always insists that we stay long enough to see who catered, at which point the credits are almost over anyway. The staff gets annoyed at us for staying so long, though.
48 – Airplane is hilarious!
62 – I know!!!!
My favorite is the jive lady. “Oh stewardess? I speak Jive.” I love it when she says, “Cut me some slack, jack.”
Hey! I just realized! My previous comment on here was #42!
So, anyways, Mulan II sucks. Never watch it.
Um. I am going to get pied into oblivion for saying this, but I’ve never actually seen Star Wars. I really want to! It’s not my fault! And I’m going to see them soon, because we just got Netflix!
*is megapied a billion times over*
59- I lurve Jar-Jar! “Mesa Jar-Jar Beenks fan!”
65-Sequals are allllllways terrible. ALWAYS! The origional mulan was great though.
64 – I like when the woman is panicking, and they form a line to slap/shake her.
65 – Watch it in this order: 4 – 5 – 6 – 1 – 2 – 3
I WENT TO THE STAR WARS EXHIBIT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. I SAW THE MILLENIUM FALCON (it was smaller than I had hoped…), DARTH VADER’S SUIT, C-3PO, R2-D2, PRINCESS LEIA’S DRESS, (sorry, no Jar Jar, my dad said it was because nobody likes him), YODA (!!!!!!!!!!!), MACE WINDU’S ROBES, ANAKIN’S OUTFIT, OBI-WAN’S OUTFIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sigh… this summer is good.
65- I just saw Mulan II. Not good.
I’ve been on a classic-disney movie watching spree lately, because I haven’t watched most of them since about age 5. They are good. Lady and the Tramp, Little Mermaid, Mulan, etc.
I just noticed that all those movies mentioned have sequels.
Why do you do this to us, Disney?!
*sob*
65- *pies into oblivion*
Disney cartoon movies are good. I like Mulan, the Aristocats, and Emporor’s New Groove. XD
Mulan is the funniest movie ever. If you haven’t seen it, see it now. NOW!
Airplane is one of the funniest movies ever!
My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We’re bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We’re coming in from the north, below their radar.
When will you be back?
I can’t tell you that. It’s classified.
68- You know, Walt Disney was against sequels. His successors, unfortunately, don’t share that view.
70- Well, Walt Disney was a good man. His opposition to sequels only adds to his goodness.
Toy Story 3 is in the works, and Disney might go ahead with it without Pixar.
There’s a wikipedia entry on it.
Horatio Hornblower. Pride and Prejudice. Sense and Sensibility. The Music Man. The Sound of Music. Mary Poppins. Almost any of the romance collection by A&E.
Need I say more?
67- !!!!! WE DID TOO! Though it was sometime last year during Christmas, at the Museum of Science and Industry. It was really crowded!
72- ♥ Horatio Hornblower. ♥ Pride and Prejudice too, but I’ve never seen Sense and Sensibility or The Sound of Music and I sort of grew out of musicals. But I loved Mary Poppins and The Music Man.
movies! i recently wached star wars 4 ,5,and 6. i like ewoks. the first ewok leia sees was played by the same guy who playes proffesser flitwick in the harry potter movies. i need to see the star wars exhibit but we need to wach the movies first. we are borrowing them from our neighbor. they probably have more movies than our local blockbuster.i think the weird al star wars song that isn’t the yoda one is useful. i know what happens in the first movie even though i have never seen it. i’m going to stop now.
69–Emperor’s New Groove is the BEST! I could watch it over and over.
Toy Story 2 was actually OK. I like the part where Buzz Lightyear is running through the baggage chutes with a “Butte” sticker stuck you-know-where. But yeah, all other Disney sequels are horrible, pretty much. (Although now that I think of it, Toy Story was Pixar. Maybe that explains it.)
When I was little, my favorite Disney movie was Robin Hood. You know, the one with the fox? That and Peter Pan.
73 – Squee!
75 – WICKET = FLITWICK?!?!?!?!?! *gasp* And you mean “The Saga Begins”. I have it on my iPod. *feels nerdy*
74~ ♥ Musicals!! ♥ I love them. But the Hornblower movies are wonderful, we’re going to get them all, *is happy*. Ahh, ships, 18th c. manners, beautiful costumes, mostly sensible sailing (as far as I can tell, although there are a few places that are questionable) and the lovely Midshipman Hornblower….and captain Pellew. And Midshipman Kennedy……and, and, and….okay, I’ll stop now.
76- it does. Pixar= Steve Jobs= Apple= Good Jobs!
72- My school play was The Music Man, and it was awesome. At one performance, the audience was laughing at everything, so we turned it into a comedy, ad-libing in jokes and whatnot. We had a hard time not laughing while acting. *sigh* Good times.
78- Oh yes. Yessss….
75- WICKET IS FLITWICK????????? Oh… wow. That’s a shock.
81~ To which?
83- All of it.
MF- You told us how you once ranted and ranted about the ratlines, right?
-18 actually, your post has to include ten words or more to be a first post. so if there’s like fifteen posts saying ((First Post?!!!)) then the first person to post intelligently is the one who ACTUALLY gets the post.
85- I think she did. I’m not even sure what ratlines are. What are ratlines?
82- Flitwick is also Marvin’s body, from H2G2 the movie, and Nikabrik in Prince Caspian.
He plays some pretty cool parts.
85~ Yes, I did.
87~ Ratlines: You know what shrouds are, right? If not, let me refresh your memory. Shrouds are standing rigging. Standing rigging stays in the same place all of the and is only moved for adjustments. Because of this it is often tarred to protect it from the weather (this is where calling sailors “tars” come from, they would often have tar on their clothes and body from working with and around these lines).
Shrouds hold up the mast from an athwartships direction. (side to side, whereas stays and backstays hold up the mast from fore and aft, or longways.)
Here’s where we get to ratlines; ratlines are small pieces or rope tied in between the shrouds to form a ladder for crew to climb aloft.
My rant about ratlines was:
Ratlines are made of small rope, and sometimes break. Because if this, one of the first things one learns before going aloft is to NEVER HOLD ONTO THE RATLINES WITH YOUR HANDS WHEN CLIMBING. Always hold the shrouds. They are much stronger and of a ratline breaks under your feet, you can still hold on with much more assurance of not plunging to the deck or water below, due o your firm hold on the shroud.
Now, in the Hornblower movies, the actors do not adhere to this simple rule, but frolic aloft and hold on the the ratline with their hands. This scares me to death, and my anting is purely for the safety of the actors.
Also, in a few scenes the ratlines aren’t tarred, and look quite fuzzy, which is disconcerting.
Forgive the information overload, I hope I didn’t get too boring!
Alice, some recommended reading for you: Pirates and Patriots of the American revolution from the Illustrated Living History Series is a good introduction to 18th century tall ships, and related topics, with good illustrations. I often use it as a quick reference to see if I’m remembering something correctly.
the Arts of the Sailor by Harvey Garrett Smith is also good, it has a lot of information on various sailing skills for all sorts of ships.
Seamanship in the Age of Sail is an amazing treasure trove of information as well, and highly recommended for a reference and a good read.
I hope you can find some of these, or check them out from the library, I think you’d enjoy them!
189- Oh, I get it! I saw ratlines on the Bounty yesterday; I only wish I had noted the shrouds as well so I had a clear picture so I knew what you were talking about.
And thanks for the book recommendations. I think my dad might have Seamanship in the Age of Sail.
Has anyone seen Mean Girls? It’s a pwnsome movie.
Just for anyone who’s interested, someone posted all of Howl’s Moving Castle on Youtube. It’s in 7 parts and the poster’s name starts with “Jin” (there’s some numbers after it I think). It’s pretty easy to find.
While we’re on the subject of sailing, let me just say how much I love Master and Commander. I’m not sure how it rates up there in tall ship rigging correctness, but it’s still a sweet movie.
91 – Aah, I don’t really like it.
92- Howl’s Moving Castle =
Master and Commander = ♥ x ∞
92- I read the book, it was awesome. How’s the movie?
95- BAD.
SPOILERS.
The evil witch person turns into some harmless grandma and come to live with them. They cut out Wales! Sophie’s hair remained silver. They changed, like, EVERYTHING! -dies-
I think the City of Ember movie looks kind of lame…
97- I didn’t know there was going to be a City of Ember movie!
The books were pretty good.
98 – I’ve only read the first one. I started the second, but it bored me.
The Golden Compass was the best I’ve seen in years.
100 – Agreed. I thought it was really good.
99- Yeah, the second one was boring, And then the third one was even more boring.
100-
To each en’s own, I suppose.
Howl’s Moving Castle was amazing. Just because they changed “like, everything” doesn’t mean it’s bad.
But…The Dark Knight was freaking amazing. Saw it this morning.
100- Really? I heard that it was bad… I’ll have to watch it now…
Yes, except the end, which was typical and stank. (Together, we can set things right.) Judging by that, there won’t be a movie of The Subtle Knife.
105 – Yeah…I don’t think there would have been anyways, what with all the controvery.
The books were still better then the movie, but that’s pretty normal.
-105 yes, that was horrible. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cliche.
103- It was bad to me. You can like it if you want, though.
105,106- Wait, you mean they’re not doing The Subtle Knife? You mean they never go into other worlds? Roger doesn’t die? Lyra doesn’t go to Lord Asriel’s house? WE NEVER MEET WILL???
-dies-
99- They’re not the best books ever, but they’re alright, in my opinion.
100- I was going to see it, until my mom found out it was written by an atheist. She’s a hardcore Catholic o.0
The books were really good though.
108 – Probably.
109 – The movies were incredibly toned down from the books in terms of religious references…
109- And the books are very atheist.
110-It DEFINITELY was. Religious people would be in a fit.
111- They still were. You should have heard the local christian radio station on the day it came out.
112- And apparently the Roman Catholic church where they wer going to film the college FREAKED OUT because it was all atheist and such.
110–Yeah, they kill God in the end of the series, so I think they toned it down just a TAD.
103–agreed
For all those folktale geeks out there, when I watched Howl’s Moving Castle, there’s a part where Sophie gives up her hair to save Howl. Does anyone know a myth or legend or something where that happens? It sounds really familiar…it’s driving me crazy.
Waaaaah I want to see Dark Knight soooooo badly but I don’t think my mom is going to let me. Bleah.
114- Everyone says they kill God, and I can’t remember when. Or how. All I remember is God being in this coffin-type thing, all ancient and dying. But then Lyra and Will open it up, I think…which kills him? -can’t remember-
114 – Well, that was half the problem. The Golden Compass wasn’t that bad, but The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass had many more religious references, and you would lose a lot of the plot if you toned them down too much.
115 – The Architect = God, basically.
111- She didn’t know they were when I read them. Neither did I, actually.
110- That’s what I heard, but the whole concept of it is not exactly religious.
116- Ha, when I read that my first thought was “Wasn’t the Architect a girl? No, wait, wrong series.”
Gah, I have to reread these.
nanananananananaBATMANNNNN!
I can’t wait to see it! I’m going Sunday (methinks, isn’t sure yet…)
117 – How so? The religious references are obvious to me. Maybe it’s just the way you read it.
THERE ARE ANGELS. HOW CAN YOU NOT NOTICE THAT?
Well, the religious references are obvious, like Meow said, but one might not notice that it’s atheist, because it’s not. It’s simply saying the Church is wrong, not that God doesn’t exist.
121- Yeah, but they always talk about the church being ‘evil’. So what if there are angels??? They call the church EVIl!
POSSIBLE AMBER SPYGLASS SPOILER.
122 – True, but it also says that the Architect is just an angel that has claimed power, or something like that. It’s basically saying that God is an imposter, from what I can tell.
END SPOILER.
123 – I think he means that as an example of a religious reference.
120-123: I meant more that I hadn’t heard about it before I read it. Even after I did, I don’t think I really applied it to real life and religion.
I do think I read it weirdly, though. I don’t remember God being killed at all, or half of the plot points happening…
I’ve read the whole series three times, too.
I can’t get my hands on the golden compass, since I want to read it in english before I see the movie, and the movie is expensive.
Um, there’s a movie out here called ”hancock”? Is it under the same title in the US? *bursts out laughing*
Vixen,
If you’re looking in Denmark, you’ll probably find it under its original British title, “Northern Lights.”
127- Thanks! I’ll try that.
-123 yes, but really in the books, God is just the political figure, not really “God.” He represents the evil P.P. is trying to portray, and he is just another political figure that says that if you join him, everything will suddenly be so easy, so fast, so…mind-numbing.
124- Yes, I know, and I was telling him that the angels weren’t really religious things.
KIND OF SPILER MAMMA MIA KIND OF SPOILER.
Mamma Mia was awesome! I have to say Pierce Brosnan was pretty handsome but he has the weirdest singing voice, :D, Amanda Seyfried is a great singer. I love the songs for it, though I usually don’t like these kinds of movies, more like Journey ton the Center of the Earth, ok, now that’s a great movie. But still, all the actors/actresses did a flamablamablous job!
END OF SPOILER.
Who here has seen Hoodwinked???????
Me!
did you like it?
I watched a good movie last night. ’twas called:Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
starring: Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo, and Elijah Wood
Has anyone else seen it? It’s from the US….
PREVIOUS POST SPOILER WARNING PHANTOM SPOILER.
Last night, I watched the Phantom of the Opera…*sniffle* That was such a great movie, but I wanted the Phantom and Christine to end up together, and not Raoul. His hair was funny looking
.
The Sixth Sense scared me snipless. *shudder*
137-I watched that, too. The end creeped me out.
132- Hoodwinked… I loved that movie!
135- Never heard of it. When was it made?
115- God doesn’t die. An archangel who says he’s God dies. At least, that’s how I interpreted it. Seems everyone else panicked first. That reminds me, has anyone read Runemarks, by Joanne Harris? It’s pretty good, and it has The Order (Very very very similar to The Church.) as a central evil, but I haven’t seen anything stirred up over it.
126- Yes.
135- I’ve heard of it, but never seen it. Has something to do with memory, right?
132- That is a good movie. I think it was under-rated. Hoodwinked 2: Hood vs. Evil is set for release in 2010.
135- I’ve heard of it but never seen it.
Hmm. I’ve got a nice empty evening, maybe I’ll watch some Hornblower on YouTube. Or maybe not… -doesn’t want to deal with YouTube-
-looks through movie selection-
Meh. Maybe I’ll play cards or watch the ropes demo video or something.
SPOILER KIND OF SPOILER HOODWINKED KIND OF SPOILER.
132- I loved the scene with the goat that was hilarious!
Hoodwinked was sooo funny especially the goat!
I saw Prince Caspian 3 times, it was so good. Did anyone else see it?
143- I saw Prince Caspian. SPOILER!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!
It was like something out of a badly written fanfiction. Who on earth came up with the idea that Prince Caspian and Susan made a cute couple?? I’m not objecting to the romance per se, just the fact that IT TOTALLY CONTRADICTS THE BOOK!!!!! AS DID ALMOST EVERYTHING ELSE!!!!!! C. S. Lewis is spinning in his grave!!!
Unlike the first movie, which was excellent and, furthermore, stuck to the book.
SPOILER MAMMA MIA SPOILER MAMMA MIA.
I went to see Mamma Mia, the NEW one with Meryl Streep. It was sooooo cheesy, and the servants were like stalkers, but it wasn’t too bad.
I loved Hoodwinked.
136–I totally thought that when I first saw the movie!
144–Well the Prince Caspian half of the couple was pretty cute…
One of my fave movies right now: Enchanted. The whole thing was so well done, even the singing part. James Marsdan was so funny!
PRINCE CASPIAN SPOILER.
144 – Well, it pretty much stuck to the book. Except for it. And that canceled out a lot of the good parts of the movie.
END SPOILER.
146 – Oh, I saw Enchanted at school. And got out of Language Arts and Math to see it. ^^
It was okay. The singing was imitated in the hallways for the next week. Same when we saw Indiana Jones. You think they would learn to not let us watch movies with well-known theme songs.
Did you know that they actually cut out most of the love scenes in Prince Caspian because fans were posting such nasty comments on Narnia sites? For instance, there’s one scene where Caspian and Susan are flirting with each other and trying to impress the other in a shooting match. There was footage of this scene in the trailers, but it never made it into the movie.
SPOILER ENCHANTED SPOILER SPOILER.
146- I love when he jumps off the bridge singing and all of the bikers run over him. And the curtains being turned into a dress. And pretty much the entire movie, it rocks!
SPOILER ENCHANTED.
149–I like the part when he’s sitting in the hotel room watching the TV and talking to it
Sigh…now I want to go rent it.
PRINCE CASPIAN SPOILER.
148- Glad to hear it. I really dislike non-canon romance in movies.
16-ME MUST SEE WALL-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It sounds like a cartoon version of short circuit for some reason.
152–I didn’t know anyone else had seen that movie! Yeah, Wall-E has the same eyes as Short Circuit. But the story’s different.
SPOILER ENCHANTED SPOILER SPOILER.
150-oh yeah, that was hilarious! I also like when the chipmunk is playing charades and the prince keeps interpreting everything wrongly. That was amusing.
Who’s going to see the new X-files movie?
Okay so this is my first post since like last november. back in the NANO days. Glad to be back. i saw this thread and decided to check it out cuz we never had these back when i was alive. that is actively posting.
so here goes: first off, Wall-E. Great movie! i loved the people. it was such a great idea. and wall-e was such an innocent little robot. loved it!
Second: Master and Commander. Pretty great as well. not in my fav 5 but is okay. moving on. the dark. hmm the comment box just shrank to nothing. oh well.
anyway. Hood winked was the best non-pixar animated movie ever in existence. i even convinced my parents to buy it for me for christmas. i loved it. twitchy MADE the movie. it ended a little corny, but i am pumped for the sequel.
The Dark Knight is the best movie i have seen all year. i know Iron Man was a close second, but the Joker is the best actor i have ever been priveledged to see. at the end, the entire theater gave a standing ovation. and when i say the whole theater i mean even the ppl squashed into the back b cuz all the seats were taken. my day was made even better cuz i got to sleep over my friends house. so it was all good. anyway glad to be back!
sorry for the triple post but i want to advise ppl not to see Hancock. it was not worth it. will smith’s worst movie easily. just go see pursuit of happiness if you like will smith
156- jammin j!
I haven’t seen you since NaNo! -pies-
157- I saw a preveiw for hoodwinked. It sounded really stupid.
glad to be back alice! i missed all of you guys. how was your first year of high school? i know it was marred by burning houses and all that, but did freshman year go well?
161- The first semester was great! Actually it was all great until the theater stuff ended and I was bored. Finals = ???
How was yours?
INDY ROCKED THIS TOWN INSIDE OUT!!! INDY!!!! BLUES BROTHERS!!! MOVIES IN GENERAL!! THEY ALL ROOOOCCK!
147- What is it ?
163–Blues Brothers! Luv that movie.
Has anyone seen The Sting?
Enchanted was so funny!!! I want to watch it so badly.
Did anyone watch my documentary on how evil Wal-Mart is? It’s so good.
OCEAN’S ELEVEN.
THE ILLUSIONIST.
JURASSIC PARK.
STAR WARS.
INDIANA JONES.
Dark Night is awesome, so it Mamma Mia, and Get Smart, and much more.
Has anyone seen Music and Lyrics?
I LOVE MUSIC AND LYRICS. IT’S HILARIOUS….
has anyone seen “O brother where art thou?” get it and laugh your head off!
A small quotation:
“Pete, we’re in a tight spot.”
“Okay boys…”
“You know Pete, we’re in a tight spot.”
“Oh sucks!”
“Yeah, we’re in a tight spot.”
“We know, Everett.”
170 – I love that movie!
I just saw the X-files movie after watching all nine seasons, and
I was horrified to see that it didn’t advance the plot at all. It was basically a big “screw you” to all the fans who had used up 9 years of their life watching this tv show. There weren’t even aliens!
77 – Me too….’cause I’m white and nerdy….*trails off into song*
91 – Not one of my favorite movies, but I did like it.
96 – True, in terms of loyalty to the book, it was awful. If you treat it as if it’s a completely different story when you watch it, though, then it’s good. I liked it, but then again I’m a sucker for anime.
100 – I haven’t seen the movie of it yet. Is it at all faithful to the book?
112 – Same here. Really, though, I don’t see what all the fuss is about. If a work of fiction is all it takes to shake a person’s faith, then they probably were never very serious about the religion in the first place. Moreover, if a person only read books by other Christians, think how many great works of literature en would miss out on!
114 – I think you’re right, but I can’t remember a specific story either! Dang, now it’s going to drive me crazy, too.
135 – Yes! That is a spectacular movie.
136 – I’m glad you thought so, too! I’ve seen anime characters with hair like that, but I didn’t know it could be done with real hair until I saw it in “Phantom”. Of course, then it distracted me for the rest of his movie (Me during dramatic scenes: The hair! How did they do that?! Friends: SSSSHHH!).
Tim Burton, anyone? I like Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride, Nightmare Before Christmas…basically all his morbid movies.
173–Tim Burton’s films are some of my favorites. Especially Edward Scissorhands.
173- I was too distraced by how sad it was to really concentrate on his hair. *sniffle* Why, Phantom? Why, Christine???????
168- I loved Music and Lyrics! It was so cute.
Has anyone seen 1408? It’s a movie based off of a Stephen King novel about his guy who looks for haunted hotels. He finds this one with room 1408; 56 people died in that room, and none of them have lasted more than an hour. It’s so scary.
HOODWINKED SPOILER.
Japeth the Goat is so funny! I’m glad he’s returning in the sequel!
ENCHANTED SPOILER.
My favorite part is where she calls animals and gets rats, cockroaches, and pigeons!
177 v-1.1
agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
177- about Enchanted; agreed! it’s so funneh.
Sorry for the double post, but I just wanted to discuss something of vital importance.
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER HBP TRAILER SPOILER.
So, has anyone seen the trailer for the sixth HP movie? It SUCKED!
180- Gosh, I was going to the moment it came out, but I’ve been busy! *headdesk*
I’m going to see it right now.
Wung buttons, it’s being all slow and laggy. GAH.
Not showing up. Wung.
Wait, wrong button… *watches*
*THIS IS A SPOILER WARNING*.
Eh, it wasn’t that bad. I like the young Tom Riddle actor they chose. The only things I don’t like are the fact that the memories were pretty much just water in the pensieve, and Dumbledore’s hair wasn’t auburn. Way to stick to canon, WB. Other than that, the trailer really wasn’t that bad, unless you were expecting more of the Trio, or such. Really, though, I like Tom much better than Harry. His blue eyes frustrate me.
181–And he’s unnaturally pale (Daniel Radcliffe, I mean). I know it’s considered more beautiful to be fair-skinned in Europe, but he looks like he’s part vampire or something.
182- Gah, I know. I don’t see quite why people consider him attractive.
Harry>Dan
*Mini Spoiler Warning*.
Also, why did Dumbledore have a polka-dotty silk-looking scarf?
173-Did Tim Burton ever not make a mobrid movie? You forgot Sweeny Todd, by the way.
Holy Wung Buttons, has anyone seen the trailer for the Twilight movie? I swear, I’m going to throw up. If they wreck Twilight like they did Harry Potter, Hollywood will feel my wrath.
GRR.
184- They wreck every movie. That’s why I try not to see movies that are based on books. It’s either I see it because I really want to and the book was awesome and the trailer looks fine, or it is because I want to make fun of it and point out every little change
Just kidding, but still, movies are nothing like the books, and they are always much worse.
Books are a differnt medium then books. thusly, movies will be DIFFERNET then books.
184–Of course they’ll wreck it. Movies are never as good as their books (excepting Princess Bride, of course). But yeah, the trailer didn’t do much for me. Especially the whole “spider monkey” line, I think I might hunt down the screenwriters for that one.
HPB TRAILER SPOILER.
I just saw it. Young Voldemort looks really cool. Wouldn’t that be a cool acting job? Even if it was a really small part. Anyways.
It wasn’t a great trailer, but it didn’t have much about the movie so I’m holding out that it will be better.
187- well, remember, The Princess Bride Screenplay was written by the same person who wrote the novel itself.
186-REALLY? Are you sure about that?
188-I think they chose a really good actor for that part.
I have to see both Twilight and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince though, simply because I’d feel bad about ranting about something I hadn’t seen.
190 – Yeah, I think so too. And I love how they got those Voldemort lines straight from the book.
191- YES. It’s really annoying when they switch the lines around, even if it’s not really changing the plot or anything, but WHY?
Like in GoF, when Ron was jealous of Harry, etc., and they had to make Hermione say that whole thing, like “Oh, Ron told someone else to tell that other person… who told me to tell you…”
Which was rather pointless.
/end rant
191-Thank God, yes. If they wrecked kid Voldy’s subtle evilness, I would have killed the director or somebody.
Switching lines does seem rather pointless. The reason most people like the HP books in the first place is because they’re very well written with excellent dialouge and perfect plot, so why would you meddle with that?
Supposedly they haven’t recorded the Ron+Lavneder scenes yet.
193- I heard they did! The actress for Lavender is quoted as saying they were “embarassing” or such?
ME MUSt WATCH WALLE!
193/4- I thought they recorded those first! I may be wrong…
184-We should grafitti/rip down the Hollywood sign if they do, holding picket signs and screaming cliche’d phrases. It’ll rock.
181- The lack of trio was the most disappointing to me, I admit.
182- I know! Everyone’s all ‘zomfg, DanRad’s lyk soooo hawt!!!1!11!!!’ Then I’m like ‘……….. um, no he’s not, he looks like someone who hasn’t seen the light of day in years…………….’
183- What’s more, why the h*** does he have those stupid little jingle bells dangling off his beard???
192- It is! So pointless… *shakes fist at heavens, muttering*
177- THERES A SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!
196(re 184)- Hmm, I don’t think I’d do that for Harry Potter. But JS&MN, without a moment’s hesitation.
198-Is it that awesome?
194-I think that was Rupert. They had a little trailer with interviews from the cast, that I think should appear on DVD.
196-Book your plane tickets, I’m coming. Harry Potter Fan Kokonvention? lol
199- That awesome.
196- (re 184) I’ll come. All, ready the spray paint!
(re 181)- Eh, Tom was cute. Or evil, pick one.
(re 183)- JINGLE BELLS? JINGLE BELLS? GOOD WUNG BUTTONS, I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE.
200- Wasn’t it Jessie Cave? I remember googling her. I think they mentioned it on some fansites…
202- Watch the 4th movie again; in the Hearing scene, just watch his beard. Lo and behold, two little jingle bells, dangling off his beard.
GAHHH, HOLLYWOOD, WHY MUST YOU RUIN DUMBLEDORE????????
201-I have to read it!
204- You do!
I really should, my library has 2 huge copies just sitting on the shelves…… what daunts me is the fact that they’re the size of large paving slabs…
206- Large paving slabs with nearly a thousand pages crammed full of minuscule print. -happy sigh- Ah, yes…try carrying a hardcover copy around in your already-full-to-bursting schoolbag. It’s great fun.
Interestingly enough (but also quite predictably) only the paperback has 1000 pages (1006, actually). The hardcover version only has 782 pages. But they’re big pages.
I requested it at the library… Should I have?
207- I guess it’s similar to carrying around *checks schoolbag* Deathly Hallows, New Moon, The Monster Book of Sudoku (400 pages of numbery griddy goodness), Breaking Dawn, Wicked Lovely, Naruto #5, and 3 miscellaneous Absolute Boyfriend books. So, really there’s no change… *plans to check it out*
I watched Sweeney Todd last night! New favorite movie!!!!! They stole all the actors from Harry Potter; Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, Timothy Spall…
I had the Perelli’s Miracle Elixer song stuck in my head for many hours after wards, though…
207- Hmm, you’ve convinced me. *places hold*
I need to get it read
We watched “No Such Thing” earlier. I didn’t really like it. At first I thought it was just the acting that irked me, but upon reflection, the acting had nothing to do with it. I don’t like angels or angelic people. I mean, I like angels, but not as characters in stories. One needs to relate to characters, and who can relate to someone as perfect as an angel?
I watched ‘the prestige’ last night! THE BEST MOVIE I’VE SEEN SINCE ‘PERSEPOLIS!’
Anyone seen ‘The prestige’ or ‘persepolis’?
214- Nope. What’s the plot?
214- The Prestige is really good! It’s not my favorite movie in the world, but I enjoyed it immensely.
BREAKING DAWN SPOILER.
You know what’s going to be amusing? When Breaking Dawn comes out as a movie and they have to film all the sex scenes. I’m going to laugh.
I was thinking about that a bit earlier.
BREAKING DAWN SPOILER
BREAKING DAWN SPOILER
BREAKING DAWN SPOILER
BREAKING DAWN SPOILER.
217- Sex scenes? I thought this was a young adult novel. Anyway, they’ll probably cut them out. As you know, they never remain faithful to the book.
214- The Prestige is a really good movie. I loved it! The plot line was so interesting. If you liked the prestige, you should watch The Illusionist as well.
214 – I’ve seen both. They’re both amazing, but I love The Prestige..
Recently I saw Contact.. It was really good.. I wouldn’t really call it science fiction though. Hm. I guess it is, but it has some…I dunno.
It has to do with science and religious belief..so..but it’s still SF I guess.
It’s really really good though.
210-TIM BURTON SHOULD DIRECT A HARRY POTTER MOVIE. *starts petition* He’d make it amazing.
They chose lotsa good characters for Harry Potter and Sweeny Todd. All you need to do is chuck out Radcliffe and a couple other people, replace them with Tim Burton’s choices, and you’ve got the best Harry Potter movie ever. Helena Boham Carter is pretty cool, I’m glad they chose her for Bellatrix.
221- Yeah, she fit the role. And yes, chuck Dan.
Though Dan wasn’t nearly so bad in the first two movies. He was actually cute there. But then he grew up, and I suppose they couldn’t replace him with someone else, halfway through the series…
221-that would be sweet
i watched corpse bride today
freaking love tim burton. and danny elfman
i mean come on. the man’s name is elfman
BREAKING DAWN SPOILERS BREAKING DAWN SPOILERS.
Well, it would be very hard to cut out the sex scenes, because if they don’t have sex, and she doesn’t get pregnant, and then most of the plotlone is down the tube. But she doesn’t describe them graphically in the books; but in a movie, they can’t really dumb down the visual through clever use of words…
BREAKING DAWN SPOILER.
Well, they could just be suggestive and then cut.
‘Cause that’s kind of what they did in the book.
But I don’t know what a movie with that would be rated..
BREAKING DAWN SPOILER.
It’s called implication. They wouldn’t actually have to film it to prove that it had happened.
BREAKING DAWN MINI-SPOILER.
I haven’t actually read it yet, but numerous discussions on forums of spoilers from the leaked beginning lured me.
It sounds rather stupid. Although I suppose the reviews I read were
beyondsomewhat biased.But really. The series has somewhat lost its appeal. Although that could also be from frequenting forums that are
beyondsomewhat biased.BREAKING DAWN SPOILER.
226- But they would have to imply it many, many times (that is, if they decide to stay true to the books.)
I’m seeing Journey to the Centre of the Earth this aftenoon. I’ll tell y’all if it’s good or not.
228-…Disturbing…
228- What POSOC said.
229/30- Why disturbing? What’s disturbing? The repeated implication, or the movie?
231-How old is Bella, anyway?
I would have liked Sweeny Todd, except for the fact that I can’t stand [other people’s] blood, even if it looks like ketchup. And I have a thing with sharp objects, I hate them too. I am such a wimp.
Otherwise, it had great music, wonderful sets and costumes, interesting plot etc.
BREAKING DAWN SPOILER.
I haven’t actually read Twilight, but I heard that Bella ( I don’t even know who that is) turns into a vampire at the end.
*Has Intense Fear of Sweeny Todd*
I adore the movie Pan’s Labyrinth.
232- 18. But, before you go off into rants about young marriage, read the book first. I don;t want to spoil everything, but let’s jsut say there’s a good reason she’s marrying so young.
233- It was great! Very disturbing, true, but the music was very addicting. (And Helena Bonham Carter was in it!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
236- I’ve been wanting to see that for awhile. I recorded it for a bunch of my friends and me to watch, but I failed to notice I was recording it off of the Spanish channel. So, it was in Spanish.
Anybody seen Inherit the Wind?
217–I know, when I was reading it, I was like, a MORMON wrote this? Also, when they make that movie, I will kidnap Kristen Stewert and be Bella myself.
221–Ooh, good idea. *signs petition*
I just saw a great movie called “A Good Year”. It had Russell Crowe in it, he was very funny. He had a British accent, too.
Oh and by the by…I SAW DARK KNIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gahgahgahgahgahgah sooooo good.
*End of spaz* Sorry, I get a bit excited about movies.
237-She really is an amazing actor, and with Johnny Depp (who’s like Uber-amazing)… I respect them both a lot, they work really well together on film.
I really need to see Dark Knight, don’t I? Like, really, really, really.
240–Yes. Dooooo iiiiittttt.
175 – It was pretty depressing. If I had to choose between Raoul and the Phantom, I would definitely go with the Phantom. Maybe it’s just me, but I thought Raoul was pretty boring in comparison.
210 – Wow! You have room for all of those at once? *envies* My school books take up my whole bag, and then some. :p
214 – I’ve seen both; neither are among my favorite movies, but they are very good. Persepolis was majorly depressing, though.
233 – I’m like that with needles. Razors are okay, but I can’t stand movie scenes involving needles at all.
Huh, I just noticed my last evil smiley was frowning instead of smiling. Yikes, what did I do wrong? *studies smiley chart*
For the frowning one, you do ‘evil’ in colins. For the smiling ones, you do ‘twisted’ in colins.
240- I think she rocks so much it’s not even funny.
Post 38?
I mean “Post 238?”
245- No, I haven’t. Is it good?
246 – Same; I hadn’t even heard of it.
246, 247-It’s very good! It’s a movie based on the Scopes “Monkey” Trial, a famous trial about the teaching of evolution in schools. However, the movie is a dramatized account featuring fictional counterparts of the main characters. Nonetheless, it is an amazing film which I highly recommend!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

249~ Oh. The guy playing Edward is hideous. Sorry, but my friend Danielle and I have this argument all the time.
(Danielle) “He’s so gorgeous!!!!!”
(Me) “No, he’s not. He’s dreadful.”
“What??????? He’s PERFECT!”
“Umm, didn’t you say that Conor Oberst was ‘perfect’?”
“Yes, well, he’s perfect too, but not AS perfect…..”
“……….”
“Oh come on, he’s so gorgeous, you have to see that.”
“No, as a matter of fact, I can’t see that. I still think he’s hideous. Jamie Bamber or Hugh Grant, on the other hand………”
“Eew.”
(Violin teacher) “Okay, we’ll look him up.”
(*Danielle and I) “Fine.”
(violin teacher) “Well, he’s not so bad.”
(Danielle and I) *groaning* “‘not so bad???'”
“He’s gorgeous!!!!!!”
“Here we go again……..he’s NOT.”
“Oh get out of here, Danielle, get out your music.”
FIN.
243-Burton, Depp and Carter, the amazing trio of morbid awesomenss.
I watched the Corpse Bride yesterday. Again. It’s still as sad as it was when I watched it first.
I’m going to petition to see if I can get Tim Burton do do the Deathly Hallows duo.
That would be so bangin’.
Yeah…
249- I’d rather see Harry Potter. Besides, movies usually don’t capture the same essence as the books do.
I want to see Ginny and Harry kiss already!
I’m going to see Star Wars today!!! (does happy dance)
249–Well that’s good, I’ll have a chance to save some money up for HP after Twilight.
How much do movies cost for ya’ll? Here in Southern CA, it’s $8.25 for a matinee and $10.25 for a night show. +$$ for popcorn, etc. Yeesh.
252- God, me too! I also can’t wait until the 7 1/2 movie! Ron and Hermione KISS! Hhahaha…. And i can give you a list of at least two things in each movie didn’t follow in the book.
255- Ron+Hermione= Lurve. But what do you mean by ‘7 1/2’?
256- They’re splitting DH into two movies. I suppose 7 1/2 is referring to the first half?
I heard that they were splitting HBP into two movies too. Is that actually happening, or not?
258- I don’t think so, but the release date has been pushed back from this November to next July!
.
Utter rubbish.
221- God, yes.
I loved Sweeney. I ♥ Johnny Depp and Bonham Carter.
233-
235- Really, it’s not that bad. I mean, the blood looks like watered down ketchup, and the music was amazing.
254- $7 for the ticket, $6.25 for snacks.
Speaking of Bonham Carter, wouldn’t she make an awesome Victoria for the Twilight movies?
260-She looks a bit too old for Victoria, but otherwise yes. How old was Victoria when she was bitten?
But if they could pull it off, she’d be a chill Victoria.
261- A bit, yeah. But every time I watch Sweeney, I just think to myself, “why oh why did they have to cast that Rachel person as Victoriea?” Especially when they’re looking for Toby in the sewers.
260–whoa, yeah! She would make a good Victoria!
262-My eyes were firmly shut at that time, but I remember it. I thought she loved Toby.
Darn submit button. Sorry.
I saw the Dark Knight. *dies* Why didn’t I see it sooner? Heath Ledger was simply bangin’.
I MISS YOU, HEATH! *cries* He was such a great actor and person. He didn’t deserve to die so young. I really need to see that movie.
260- YES. Assuming they dye/straighten her hair and such, she would be PWNsome.
I haven’t seen the Dark Knight… I probably should. Pah, I’m extremely behind on -recent- movies.
I watched Mary Poppins yesterday, though, for the first time in three years or so, and the Sound of Music last week. w00t!
But those don’t quite qualify as “recent,” methinks.
267–Well, they’re within the last 50 years, at least.
264- I think she did, but she loved Sweeney more.
254 – At a typical multiplex here it’s roughly $7 for a matinee, more for later showings. The drive-in is $8 a person, but it’s worth it because you can watch two to three movies for one price if your driver doesn’t mind staying all night.
270–Aw, I miss our old drive-in theater. I saw Lion King there for the first time when I was like 6. They tore it down
264- She did, but he had found out the secret of their cannibal barber shoppe.
265- Is bangin’ your new word, perchance?
I got Across the Universe!!!!! My mom wants to watch The Closer tonight, but with some wheedling I may convince her otherwise.
272–I love that movie (ATU, I mean). I can never figure out how they found so many good-looking people with incredible voices.
271 – Nooo! That’s a shame.
273 – Me too! I usually don’t like romances, but ATU was phenomenal.
273/4- ATU pwns all. Jim Sturgess is, undeniably, the hottest person I have seen, EVER. (The Cullen are probably hotter, but I’ve never officially SEEN them, now have I??? Just Robert Pattinson and a mental image… nothing even close to the real thing, I am sure!!!)
275– AND he can sing!
I liked the guy who played Max (the brother) as well. He played his character well.
Ok, apologies in advance for this rant, but I just have to say once again how amazing Dark Knight was. I’ve just been surfing YouTube and watching clips and such, and Heath Ledger just keeps blowing me away. Geez, what a performance. Watch the “interrogation scene”–I think that was one of my favorite scenes because the Joker seems so totally unhinged, especially opposite Batman, who’s such a picture of understated elegance, even when he’s angry. Love love love it.
End rant. Guess that’s the film director speaking in me.
Has anyone seen A Series of Unfortunate Events? They got EVERYTHING wrong! The Marvelous Marriage took place while the Baudelaires were still in Count Olaf’s care, not after Aunt Josephine died! In the book, everyone thought that the Mamba du Mal snake killed Uncle Monty, and the Baudelaires disproved it by reading about the Mamba Du Mal and explaining why it couldn’t have killed him, then finding suspicious objects in Count Olaf’s suitcase. In the movie, everyone thought that the Incredibly Deadly Viper killed him, and the Baudelaires disproved it by showing them that the IDV was harmless. The whole thing with the spyglasses, plus the train scene, were completely made up, and Count Olaf was never captured by the authorities. Finally, in the Marvelous Marriage scene, Klaus didn’t climb the tower – Violet had done that earlier – and they foiled Count Olaf’s evil plan by Violet signing the marriage document with her left hand, not by burning up the document with a giant lens.
AAAAAAHHH!
This is the reason why I don’t think they should make a Warriors movie.
278- Agreed agreed and agreed.
278–totally agree. Although Jim Carrey’s dinosaur impersonation in the blooper reel almost makes up for it. Almost.
278 – Agreeeed.
I only saw it when it first came out in theaters, and I have not seen it again and don’t remember it that much.
But Ella Enchanted has to be the worst book-to-movie adaption I have ever seen in my entire life. No wonder I had deleted most of it from my mind before seeing it again on Disney Channel recently. *shudders*
And, Ghost Town looks like it might be good. I haven’t gone to see a movie in a while.
272-New? Not unless since last June is new.
BTW, Across the Universe is pwn.
I got, like, half the soundtrack.
I saw Nightmare Before Christmas. I got the delux three-CD collecter’s edition.
EPIC.
WIN.
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
3-D Version? WIN.
Jack’s Holiday Mansion Tour? Fail. Fail, fail, FAIL. They KILLED it.
Vincent? Win. Clarissa read it for her audition.
Frankenweenie? Win. Sad, but win.
Soundtrack? Win. Plus Marilyn Manson and Panic! At the Disco, when they were still cool.
Digital file? Fail. It’s takes 11 fricking minutes to load.
Wow. I love Napoleon Dynamite. I just watched it on TV.
“You best start believing in ghost stories, Mrs. Turner. You’re in one!”
“…You forgot one very important thing, mate. I’m Captain Jack Sparrow!”
“So you can’t be here. QED, you’re not really here!”
BEST. MOVIE. QUOTES. EVER.
283 – his “speech” for pedro was… interesting.
284–“I think we’ve all arrived at a very special place. Spiritually…ecumenically…grammatically…”
“‘Tis bad luck to have a woman aboard…even a miniature one.”
“Me? I’m dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly, it’s the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they’re going to do something incredibly… stupid.”
Love love love those movies.
Just saw The Breakfast Club! Man, what an awesome movie. Judd Nelson is fabulous. As were all of them, but Bender’s my favorite.
I just watched ‘The Notebook’ last night. I cried about five times. That had to be one of the saddest/best movies I’ve ever seen.
283- “Girls only like guys who have great SKILLS. Numbchuck skills, computer hacking skils…”
“I bet that bike gets some sweet air.”
“Napoleon, you’re just jealous because I’ve been chatting online with babes all day.”
XDDDDDDD
I LOVE NAPOLEON!
286 – I find it rather stupid.
287- which one?
Lots of kids at my school, swim team, and after-school program like High School Musical. I haven’t seen it, but it sounds rather stupid. High schoolers put on a musical. Is my impression correct?
Can’t wait for Inkheart…
290- Me neither.
I’m seeing Nick and Norah’s infinite playlist sometime soon… I’ll give a review.
289- Well, you can actually just watch Grease and get High School Musical: Much Better edition. (Joke.)
YESSSSSS!!! The City of Ember is out!
Gnomes, please take the “the Second” out of my name. (I just was on the BA thread.)
Hey! My post was zapped! Why?
281 – I recently read Ella Enchanted, and yes, the movie adaption was terrible. In the movie, an elf (can’t remember his name) made the journey with her, her fairy tale book could talk, everyone spoke the same language, and Prince Charmont had an evil uncle that was trying to kill him. Wasn’t the movie made by the same people that made the *shudders* Harry Potter movies?
If there ever is a Warriors movie, they’ll probably do something similar. Maybe they’ll leave out subplots like Cloudpaw getting taken by Twolegs, or cut out deaths that are too violent (Tigerstar) or sad (Bluestar). The plot will be destroyed, and no one will want to read the books.
Oh, and I heard they’re making an Artemis Fowl movie. Gulp.
296 – An Artemis Fowl movie? Ugh. No. It’ll be perfectly awful. Those sample pages of the graphic novel up on the website already destroyed the way I picture all the characters, and I’ve had to work really hard at getting those images back. D:
OH. MY. GOD. THERE’S A VIDEO CLIP ON YOUTUBE OF 8 MINUTES OF THE TWILIGHT MOVIE OMG SQUEE SQUEE SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *dies*
283 – I have not seen it. I am strange.
I just saw Casino Royale and now I’m REALLY excited about Quantum of Solace. Never thought I’d like James Bond, but.. Finally, a good movie coming out!
I’m seeing Twilight the Tuesday after it comes out..dundundun…
And the moving Notting Hill is really good, and I very much want to see Donnie Darko.
I AM FREAKING OUT THERE’S A THINGY ON MTV TONIGHT THAT WILL SHOW SPOILERS FOR THE TWILIGHT MOVIE OMFG I’M FREAKING OUT THERE’S GONNA BE NEW SCENES AND OMG NEW SCENES FROM THE TWILIGHT MOVIE ON MTV TONIGHT I HAVE TO SEE IT I’LL JUST HAVE MY MOM WATCH KEITH OLBERMANN ON THE COMPUTER OR SOMETHING BECAUSE OMG I NEED TO SEE THIS LIKE A BURNING DIRE NEED THAT NEEDS TO BE FILLED OMG I’M FREAKING OUT GOIN CWAZY AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
300 – Yikes. Deeeeep breaths, MissSwan. Deeeeep breaths. Go to your happy place.
300-CALM. DOWN. It will be okay. Don;t have a heart attack on me. I will be very sad.
300–Just for you, Miss Swan:

And seriously, last name Pattinson, dog named Patty?

STUPID QUESTION COMING UP.
Um… everyone but me probably knows this, but… *takes deep breath*…what’s Twilight?
305-It’s a……. book. About…….. vampires. And…… stuff. I haven’t read it, and honestly if I’d just read the description I wouldn’t want to, but it seems as if all female middle-schoolers are obsessed with the series, so……. yeah. To be honest (wait a minute– *straps armor on* *gets behind wall*), I think it doesn’t sound that good, but whatever.
305–don’t worry, I’m as clueless as you!
305- It’s a book about a girl who falls in love with a vampire who wants to eat her, but loves her, and then a chase happens. I’ve read it, and would not suggest it. The vampires sparkle.
308–Why would a girl fall in love with somebody who wants to eat her? I mean, seriously. Does she have a death wish? Sparkling vampires. That’s just……weird.
309 – Because he’s basically amazing. And while I’m definitely not as obsessed as many, many, many people, nor as obsessed as I am with Harry Potter, I do love Twilight. Honestly, it’s a phenomenon that’s difficult to explain; you really just have to read at least the first book. Hopefully you’ll like it, although you may just not see what all the fuss is about. I’m looking forward to the movie, although from the eight minutes of it on youtube it’s looking to be total crap.
I haven’t read Twilight either. My friend loves it though, and it really gets on my nerves because she “hates Harry Potter.”
So, yeah, I’m not ever going to read it just to spite her, or read it and say I hate it (even if I don’t)
Also, I met someone at summer camp who seems to be my type of personality who said she didn’t like it. I’m not into boys yet, either, so I don’t think I would like a romance-ey type of thing. And I’m trying to wean myself off of fantasy. And the list goes on and on and on and on.
Oops. The
should be a 
.
(311) CPM: What are you watching and reading now instead of fantasy? Are you on a strict non-fiction diet, or do you read realistic fiction?
Saw Quantum of Solace. It had absolutely no plot but was still pretty okay.
303- THANK YOU SO MUCH. *bows down* He’s so adorable!
304- Yeas it is! But he got hotter for his role as Edward.
*ahem* TWILIGHT PLOTLINE: Twilight is a book about a girl named Bella who moves from sunny Phoenix, AZ to rainy and dismal Forks, WA. She thinks nothing good will come out of her predicament, until she meets the Cullens. Five children, all 16-19, all stunningly beautiful, all super smart and super rich. They’re all together (Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett), except for the youngest, Edward. She incidentally becomes his lab partner, and she notices he is acting strange. He won’t talk to her, and he seems to be begging the school to switch his bio time to another period. She is hurt and upset and doesn’t understand, until one day he begins talking to her. He saves her from being hit by a car, and she doesn’t understand how he does this, because he stops it with his body. She has also noticed that his skin is pale white and ice cold, he’s devastatingly beautiful, his eyes change color with his mood, and he’s amazingly strong and fast. They talk, and he tells her that he’s a vampire. They fall deeply in love, but it’s riddled with conflict and desperation because he, being a vampire, has a powerful instinctual urge to drink her blood. I won’t give away anything else. Highly recommended. (You heard it from the expert).
311- Why wean yourself? Indulge with what you love!
So, I watched one of the best movies I’ve seen in a reeeeeeeeally long time last night. Atonement. AMAZING, double underlined, bold and italicized. But also incredibly sad. I will give a blow-by-blow plot description later, but my dad needs the computer and I’m hungry. Ta!
304–Yes, that’s Cedric. And I really hope he’s just very sarcastic because most of his answers were pretty pathetic.
309–Because he’s hot.
314–Hey, if it’s got Daniel Craig in it, who needs a plot? (K, as a future film director, I can’t believe I just wrote that. :D)
I watched Night at the Museum for… maybe the 5th time? last night. I hadn’t seen it in forever, and I’d forgotten how good a movie it is. :]
317- Ooooh, I love that movie!
Last post of the night, it’s pizza/movie time!!! I think we’re watching… Sweet Home Alabama? Or something?
Hehe, my list of Top
54 Worst Movies:1. Napoleon Dynamite
2. Serving Sara
3. Weekend At Bernie’s, which I’ve never seen but my parents tell me is terrible
4. Hook
316- Not ONLY because he’s hot; he’s adorable and well-mannered and nice and PERFECT. It’s like, take your perfect vision of a boyfriend, and then have him come to like. BaZAM. Like in Absolute Boyfriend by Yuu Watase. You can pick your boyfriend’s looks and traits, then have him come to life. That’s what it’s like for Bella. (And the ULTIMATELY PWNING SEXINESS doesn’t hurt).
318- Oh, that’s a cute one.
You know what I don’t get? Like, all of the good romantic comedies have Tom Hanks in them. I’m not dissing Tom Hanks, I love him, and he’s a great actor and everything, but I don’t understand why he’s pictured as the ‘knight in shining armour’. He’s not even that handsome! I dunno… maybe I just want all guys to have emo-flips. Yeahhhhh…
318- I loved Napolian Dynamite!!! But I think it’s one of those movies that you either LOVE or just don’t get. Like my dad with the movie Elf. Mom and I love it and have to watch it every year but Dad just doesn’t understand why we like it so much!
Oh, and SFTDP, but MissSwann-you should check out the Twilight reviews on (I hope I can post this GAPAs) rottentomatoes dot com. The reviewers totally ripped it apart! It was pretty funny, actually.
*reads reviews* !!! It was worse than I thought. I still want to see it.
322-weren’t some of the reviews funney?!? But I also want to see it sometime. Maybe in a few weeks once all of the rabid fans have gone.
Has anyone seen the movie Edward Scissorhands? It’s about an inventor who creates a man (like Dr. Frankenstein), but dies before giving him hands, leaving him with scissors instead. He lives by himself for a while, until a woman finds him and brings him to a town called Suburbia.
Parts of it are funny, but the end is sad. You might want to skip the inappropriate hair salon scene.
324- Have you ever seen the short funny movie (from the makers of Charlie the Unicorn) entitled, “Eduardo Spatulahands”? I assume it is based off the movie you were describing.
325 – All the stuff by the maker of Charlie the Unicorn is kinda creepy (not all in a bad way). For example, have you seen Mr. Happy Face? If you get nightmares easily… don’t. Seriously.
324- LOVE that movie!!!!! I’m recording it right now, I’m going to watch it once my brother goes to bed…
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!! So, they’re making a movie for Alice in Wonderland, a non animated version!!!!!!! Burton’s directing, Johnny Depp is the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter’s the Queen of Hearts, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, and Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar. That is like, my dream cast for a movie!!!!!!!! I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw The Boy in the Striped Pajamas last night, and I think I’ve lost most of my faith in humanity. I knew about the Holocaust already, of course, and I’d been to Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) services and seen photos, but it’s never seemed so real before.
There were mostly two things that crossed my mind as I was watching the movie. The first was that I had no idea what I’d do if it were my father running the concentration camps. Like Bruno, I’d want to trust him and believe that he was doing the right thing, but I really hope I’d also be able to see through the propaganda and the pressure of the Nazis and understand that Jews were actually people and that there was a genocide being commited. I hope I’d be able to stand up and do something, I hope I wouldn’t be too scared or too brainwashed, but I don’t know if I would. I tend to believe what people tell me, especially my parents. Would I have lied to myself if I knew what was going on so that I’d be okay with it, like the father in the movie? I’m scared that I wouldn’t have recognized the truth.
The other thing I thought about was that I wouldn’t have had a chance to figure out whether I’d recognize iit or not. That would have been me and my family in those camps and those barracks and those gas chambers. I’d be the one with my father missing if I put a toe out of line, with my grandparents having been sent to the other line to the gas chambers right off the trains. And it’s not just that it would have been me if I’d lived there and then–it nearly was my grandparents. If their families had not gotten out in time, it would have been them. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be stripped of your clothes and your dignity and given prisoners’ rags to wear, worked three-quarters to death, and then shepherded into a shower room and hear a door slammed. That could have been me.
I can’t believe that humans can be so horrible.
And this is something that just occured to me: Why the hell do we have “Patriots Day” for 9/11 (which I’m not saying shouldn’t be commemorated–quite the opposite) as a national holiday in America but no national commemorations of the Holocaust and slavery and so many other things that need to be remembered? We have to remember the terrible parts of history so they won’t repeat themselves.
328- That was such a sad movie. The Holocaust ha haunted me for the majority of my life. I really can’t believe that people can be so cruel. Did you know that in concentration camps, twins would go to evil doctors who would torture and murder one of the twins just to see if the other one could feel it? A girl in my speech class did an informative on the Holocaust, and after she told us that I felt scared for all of the twins in my class. Some of them were scared too, I bet, and afterward the whole room was quiet. I was haunted for nights and nights after that. The shower thing was just too cruel to imagine, and I think it’s horrible that the people killing all those Jews could do it in good conscience. It was a horrible event in history, and I agree that it should never happen again.
(I never said this before, but it’s on-topic now.)
I watched Life is Beautiful. That is one of the saddest movies ever. *sniffsniff*
It’s amazing how some people can devote their whole lives to helping other people, yet others can terrorize innocent victims and devastate a whole race of people. Genocide’s a horrible thing.
While we’re speaking of sad/depressing movies…
I’ve only watched about 10 minutes of The Black Knight and I already hate it. I mean, the fact that they are willing to kill each other to get a larger portion is just like… no.
331 – The Black Knight? Don’t you mean Dark Knight?
(Sorry, I’ve just never heard of the Black Knight.)
332 – brain fuzz, sorry.
SFTDP
Anybody seen Spaceballs? I saw it last night, and apart from a bit too much guy humor and cussing, it was AWESOME!
334-Spaceballs was amazing. I love Mel Brooks.
372-If that’s your dream cast, than you’d love Sweeney Todd. Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp…
335 – Two parts were awesome:
“Only one man who would dare use the raspberry against me… Lone Star!” *thunk*
“By high noon tomorrow, the princess will be ours!” “WHOOOOO-” *slam*
SFTDP
Anybody seen “Valkyrie”? Is it good?
318–Aww, I like Hook.
324–I cry every single time I see that movie. Love it, though, obviously. I think Johnny Depp was like 26 when he was in that.
327–Not sure if I can post the link, but google “johnny depp mad hatter” and click on the second link down (the one that has ‘justjared’ in the link). Go fast, though, Disney’s removed/killed the other photos within the last couple weeks, not sure how long this one will be there…anyways, jd looks VERY creepy (i think he has yellow eyes).
338–I haven’t seen it, but I heard it wasn’t too great–Tom Cruise kind of ruined it.
Anyone seen “To Be or Not to Be”? Another Mel Brooks movie, very funny.
SPOILER ALERT
Salems Lot is a scary movie about vampires. There are some weird things like how the main character has dumb seventies glasses and dumb style and is very sweaty and has long hair that is grease covered
Who’s seen Donnie Darko?
I saw it. I’m still in shock. The cool thing about it is you need to see it a second time, but the stuff that you don’t think you’ll figure out until the second time you eventually get. Most of it, anyway.
If you do decide to watch it, don’t tell your friends, please. It’s already overground, please don’t let it get too popular.
New thread? This one is dead.
I saw Coraline yesterday, GO WATCH IT.
