Yeeeeeah, I'm going to go right ahead and repost that. Thank you for the continuously erupting stream of good comments, Scrabface. Good for you, kid.
I just got back from the embarrassment of film that was Sucker Punch. I'm going to spoil the shit out of this stupid fucking movie here, so be warned if you plan on seeing it (please don't)
Okay. Sucker Punch was a misadvertised, disorganized, mysoginized collection of three specific action scenes that King poopdick Von Buttswiller Zach Snyder came up with that he couldn't fit into anything else because of how unoriginal and pointless they were. Despite being edited to have a unique visual style, Sucker Punch is an irreducibly boring looking movie. Made worse by the fact that you spend exactly 100% of every scene staring at the empty-headed, pouting face of the main character 'Baby Doll'. Baby Doll is coated in pale makeup and blush and makes it her job to wander around pouting all fucking day. Her mom dies, she and her lil' sis are unhappy, her stepdad kills her little sister in an attempt at gaining their inheritance and through some completely fucking bullshit interpretation of how the law works, Baby Doll is then arrested for the murder of her little sister. Somehow.
She is taken to the unholy graveyard of Vermont and deposited at a Mental Asylum that never gets an establishing shot. I honestly spent the first half of the movie assuming it was just an entry hall and one enormous walkway through the whole building. It might as well have been. We're basically told that her shitstain stepdad is paying to have Baby Doll illegally lobotomized. This happens. That's the end of the movie. There's a scene with her in the chair, about to have the needle hammered through her eyeball about 20 minutes in. The hammer pulls back, then it cuts to some new incomprehensible world where the evil pedophile orderly is actually a club owner and all of the Mental Patients are now scantily clad women. There is no reasonable explanation given. It's fucking batshit bananas retarded. I HATED this movie. I loathed every single moment of watching it. It was not entertaining. The action was bland as fuck because a cast of uber-hot girls rarely know a lick of kung fu, so the action was always slow motion shots of them jumping (with just...too many panty shots. It was distasteful, fuckin' seriously.) or shooting towards the camera, which would swing around to the Robosamurai/Nazis/Orks/'Mechanized gunmen' because almost everything they shot was CG.
Oh, and for an action movie trying to be badass, it failed miserably. People get stabbed but don't bleed, the various generic baddies (Steam powered nazi robozombies who act dumb as fuck, a platoon of CG orks and some shitty looking i, Robotesque collective of mannequin horrors) never explode into gory chunks or emit blood when shot, they just died stupid deaths. And don't any of you piece of shit loser nerds whine about how super-duper cool the Steam Nazis are. They weren't. It was disrefuckingspectful just to recategorize the Wehrmacht as some shitty-ass platoon of retards who a team of annoying cheerleaders could beat up. It was an astonishingly poorly organized movie.
Way too much slow motion, too. Zach Snyder is a hack director who's on the same road as M. Night Shyamalan. Whoever let him write his own movie should be put down. It was a catastrophe. A mess. Without a doubt one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Fuck Sucker Punch and thank god it's tanking at the box office.
I also saw Tangled.
(Tangled)
I can promise you without even watching that trailer that it doesn't do Tangled justice (at no point does Flynn actually get manipulated by hair into beating himself up). Tangled was an incredible movie and genuinely beautiful to look at. Whereas Rango did an excellent job of presenting us a well detailed, coarse, gorgeously gritty world scrambling around at our feet, Tangled was a colorful and seemingly endless land of infinite color and magic on disk. Same team who did Beauty and The Beast, and it shows. It's an astoundingly great movie. The horse is great. Rapunzel is great. Pretty much every single pixel is great. Don't see Sucker Punch, but you go watch Tangled right the fuck now. It was stupendous. Also, frying pan violence in gregarious quantities and pretty much the happiest ending ever.

“I always believe the movies I've made are smarter than the way they are perceived by sort of mass culture and by the critics,” Snyder said, a statement he immediately followed by saying, “Also, ‘It looks like a video game.’
It takes a great big stinky, hungover, meatified liquor shit all over Princess and The Frog for sure. It's great. It's very clearly the classic Disney formula wonderfully recrafted into a pretty cg film and applicable humor. The King, who is present for probably three minutes total on screen, is easily one of the most expressive animated characters I've ever seen.

Thank you and
Tangled was crap. seriously, I couldn't stand the whole movie and turned it off after 20 min which in general I criticize. but it's like you said yourself, I've already seen this movie, in The Beauty and the Beast.
look it's Ariel, the little mermaid

No, it's not true. Get the fuck off your hipster tree.

If I knew Robin Hood was all Disney Films beforehand...

While that video makes them look unoriginal, it was just tricks to make the animation process a little easier. Because at that time it was really hard and they couldn't use computers to help them like today.
I'd say the only Disney films I really like are the Lion King and Snow White because they seem to have the best ripped off stories than any others in my opinion, and lack of gooey gross shmooshy sweetness, and dead moms. I'm not looking forward to seeing Tangled.
Also Robin Hood was unoriginal and blatantly took from earlier films because it was made at a time where the company was in very bad financial trouble.
It was still a good, funny movie though.

Pity about the Furries.

I just saw Edward Scissorhands. Literally. It just finished a minute ago.
I really loved it. It went by really quickly and I was completely sucked in. I dreaded the ending the whole time, as it was clearly the Frankenstein story. Johnny Depp performed brilliantly. He was so clunky and out of place.
I also saw Sweeny Todd a few days ago (it prompted me to finally watch Edward Scissorhands which was sitting on our DVD shelf). It was really well done. The grey, drab and pale look really made everything eerie. The decapitation scenes were fake looking, but that worked in the favour of the movie from my view. The music was really good, too. That said, The song Johanna is fucking creepy. I wish a was alive in the day when you could walk into a barber's shop and burst in counterpoint with the barber during your shave.

I watched an old sci-fi movie called Unknown World.
