What movies have you seen recently?

[CaptainClaude]

I dont recall Zelweger's character being too far gone that way. She ran a fairly successful flower shop, had a social life, wasnt really bumbling or weird in any way (aside from talkjing to a bee, but its only polite if one strikes up a conversation.)

[CaptainClaude]

I may be just forgetting shit, I dunno. it's been a while since i saw it.

Maybe she trips over eeeeeeeeverything. maybe that.

[McDuffies]

Well she did stop her boyfriend from killing a bee, saying "why is his life less important than yours".

But yeah, she didn't act like that all the time, sometimes she did, but that might just be the makers of the film being unable to portray emotions, so replacing them all with general confusion... other times she acted more normal but to be frank, those were the parts of the film when her role was rather diminished (like most of the trial part).

[CaptainClaude]

was a pretty unbalanced movie altogether. felt like it was poking at different stories till it found one that stuck. and it didnt really manage that.

man thinking about it, it was like a collection of underwhelming shorts.

I watched Tropic Thunder last night.

When this movie comes out I suggest that if you have nothing else to do to go watch it.
The entire audience was having a good time laughing out loud and chuckling to themselves, I had a friend with me with a very strange sense of humor *atleast compared with mine* and even he was having a hoot.
Don't break plans for it or anything though.

I saw the trailer and was intrigued, I thought the release date was the 15th though?

My sister works for Paramount so I get to see movies at press screenings.

The thing with Bee Movie is that it tried to be too many things at once. It tried to be a story about an outcast who messes up and has to fix everything, it tried to be a story about a disenfranchised group standing up and changing society, and it tried to be a comedy. And then theirs that weeeeeird interspecies relationship thing. At the end, it just left me going "What the hell was THAT?"

[RPin]

I saw Persepolis again. Such a fantastic movie.

Something weird happened to me the other day. I ordered Persepolis and instead of that in the package came 5 Centimeters per Second (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Mji5VhFw_c). I would complain, but that movie was so much suprisingly awesome I decided to keep it.

[Jim North]

Damn damn damn hell shit fuck damn.

We're getting Mirrors at my theater.

On my birthday no less.

Someone in Hollywood has a sick sense of humor.

Yeah, I had that impression too. Like if writers would write ten minutes of it and then say "and now what?" Still it returned to rethreading Bug's life-type of story in the end, what with heroically saving the world, I'm not even sure exactly how.
It was mostly written by Jerry Seinfeld, incidentally. Probably the only benefit film had from that was all Sainfeld's celebrity-friends that appeared in it.

Bee Movie looked awful from the previews. Glad I avoided it. Kung Fu Panda was quite good though, probably Dreamworks' best movie, though that's not saying much, in my opinion.

[Katychase42]

Just saw "He Was a Quiet Man", which is not the weirdest movie I've ever seen, but definetly up there. It was like a drama film/Beatles music video hybrid. It wouldn't have been quite so weird if not for the talking goldfish.
*SPOILER POSSIBLY*
Single best part of the movie:
He’s being “taken home” by this really skanky looking chick he met at a bar and she’s driving. She’s being slutty and puts her hand on his head and pulls his head towards her chest. And he THROWS UP! All over her boobs! I laughed so hard my face hurt and I fell out of my chair. The movie is worth renting, just for that part.

I was rather disappointed that it wasn't live action, like in that one preview...

[Yeahduff]

There are like seventeen movies in all of history that both

a Feature a trial in a prominent/climactic scene
b Are worth watching.

Sounds classy. If you like that kind of thing, watch American pie 5 and 6, they have plenty of scenes of guys throwing up on women's boobs.

I've only ever liked one trailer, for Trainspotting. Trailers are very unreliable way to judge whether to watch a movie.

[Jim North]

Whew. For my birthday present from the cosmos, Fate decided to keep my theater from getting Mirrors. Disaster averted.

*victory dance*

I feel at odds with the rest of my generation. I can't stand watching any "American Pie" style movies, and I am sickened by the mere mention of South Park.
I love the Simpsons, though. It's so dumb and intelligent at the same time, but somehow they're fused together instead of getting in each other's way.
South Park is too stupid for the smart parts to break through.

[Legion]

You forgot the abominations that are the Scary/Superhero/Disaster Movies. How they continue to make money is beyond me - the first Scary Movie was complete drivel.

Mnh. It's not like you criticized Penny Arcade or something. American Pie is a kind of film series that assumes that all teenagers are shallow and like scatological humor, which is, of course, just a stereotype. So you're at odds with that stereotype.
Earlier parts of American Pie are a completely different sort from direct-to-video parts though. The kind of jokes that were in earlier parts used for cathartic shock, are in later parts piled with a forklift.
And South part just uses stupidity to shield itself. That way, when someone tries to debate controversial nature of the points they try to make, their get away from the debate with line "what, you were taking us seriously?"

And Simpsons isn't dumb. It has some dumb characters, but the show itself isn't dumb.
