The Movie Thread: New, Rented, Whatever....I don't care

The Lego Movie

In terms of visuals, I'm still wondering what the hell I just watched. Kept asking myself if I was on an acid trip.

However, I will be quoting it for a long, long time. "I only work in black... and sometimes, very, very dark grey."

I was shocked by the visuals the first time I watched it, but I have really come to like it with subsequent viewings.

While it isn't ever going to be mistaken for classic cinema, it is my favorite movie that I've seen in 2014.

If anyone ever wants to trip balls, watch the Lego Movie. That's really all you need, and it's legal. :D

Such an AWESOME movie, because of all the AWESOME stuff in it. It's so AWESOME.

I didn't love (liked it) the Lego Movie, but I have no doubt that some of the people who worked on it have in fact done LSD or mushrooms at some point in their lives.

They nailed it. ;)

I liked the Lego Movie! Kind of snarky fun dialogue.

Saw Into The Woods tonight. It was good. I would've liked to have seen this on stage.

See it, it's great.

I was very worried Disney would not be up to the challenge, but they were. It's not dumbed down much, and the cast was good.

Some spoilers:

If Pine retires from Cap'n Kirk he can hold down a job in musical comedy. That was one of the best versions of "Agony" I've seen.

Depp's wolf wasn't the travesty I expected, and they didn't dial down "Hello Little Girl." I expected that would be the moment that half the theater would take their kids and scurry out, but not many did. God love the intenet -- people did a little research on what the story was about.

Rolling the credits over the final song was unfortunate. It has important lyrics ("Wishes are children") that were probably lost on most of the audience.

But... that's my only complaint and it's slight. The main takeaway is they did not screw it up, and that's great.
 
Total and complete dumpster fire...

I actually almost laughed out loud at times.

No doubt, but I still held out some hope coz I'm ever the optimist.

Either way, there was never any question that I'd be making my donation to Sir Peter. As I said, I was going to see it through.

Just awful on so many levels. It's actually laughable at this point.

:D

What's actually funny is that people thought The Hobbit novel was good. :p Those of us who know better had sufficiently lower expectations for a kiddie story. Sort of like all the Harry Potter & The Herp of Derp books/movies.
 
Re: The Movie Thread: New, Rented, Whatever....I don't care

This prob should be in the TV section, but screw it.

Watching the "Inside The Mob" (NatGeo) series. If you know little, or just some of what the American Mob history is, it's very good. If you know a LOT (for example, you've read The Five Families by Selwyn Raab, who participates heavily in this show) then most of it is retread, but still interesting because additional little tidbits are revealed; some personal stories are told by the ex-Mob guys. It mostly covers 1970 and on, but does give barebones basic references to origins of the Five Families.

Henry Hill is (in the 30 For 30 series). A couple had their faces hidden, as they have live contracts out. Franzese is cleared, somehow (rumor is he paid off the Mob for his life).
 
Re: The Movie Thread: New, Rented, Whatever....I don't care

The voice actors they got for Lego were perfect! Liam Neeson as the cop? AWESOME!!

Cant wait for the sequel...and the Lego Batman spinoff :)

I haven't done that since seeing The Quick And The Dead in the theater (and I knew what I was about to watch).

I've done the drinking thing legally at the VIP theater seating at West End for Machete, though. Also knew what I was about to watch. ;)
