I Have Just Seen... IV

[OANST]

What's so bad about Disney? I liked their old films, and still do.

They are almost all the exact same movie just reskinned, and then there is the whole insipid garbage aspect of them to take into account.

Fuck you. Bambi was the shit.

[OANST]

Nooooo. Not really.

[Dixanadu]

Yes, it totally was. Such an endearing tale.

Anyway, my sister got me a pirate-DVD. She said it has all the 'Land Before Time' movies on it. Totally psyched, actually... I used to watch them all the time as a kid.

[OANST]

Those aren't Disney. And they are pretty goddamn awful, too. The first one isn't that bad, but they just keep getting worse after that.

[Dixanadu]

I know they aren't Disney, I was getting back on topic.

I could take your word for that, actually. I remember the first one more than the others.

Huh.

[Wings of Fire]

The Land Before Time is a beloved classic.

The Land Before Time II through XIII are... not.

[OddjobAbe]

I saw a couple of those with my nephew a few years ago. Quite honestly, from what I remember, they bored the fuck out of me.

Last night, I watched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly after finding my copy. Fucking fantastic, it'll never get boring. I've watched a lot of Westerns recently.

[T-nex]

The Land Before Time had decent people working on it.

I think after that first one, the people working on it changed completely, and it all just turned into boring meaningless movies.

The first one had that 'epic' feel to it that good cartoons have

[Wings of Fire]

By 'decent people' you mean Don Bluth.

[OANST]

She meant George Lucas.

[T-nex]

I wasn't aware that George Lucas had worked on it. That's pretty decent. Too bad it didn't contain lightsabers.

[Wings of Fire]

Oh

Well he's not a decent person either, but for entirely opposite reasons.

[Crashpunk]

Went to see The Hunger Games today with some mates. Everyone has been ranting about it so we just had to see it.

I can't give a amazing review but it was a great film, A very good film. It was a predictable from the very start but it didn't really matter. I should really read the book it's based on because like most films based on novels, It leaves a lot out.

[OANST]

It just looks too "Twilighty" to me.

[Crashpunk]

It's better then Twilight. Anything is better then Twilight.

[OANST]

Well, I'm sure it's better than Twilight. It just looks like it has the same aesthetic. And that turns me off.

[Mudokon_Master]

So why does everyone hate Twilight again? I've only seen bits of the first one and it looks kinda cool I guess.

[Wings of Fire]

Because it's plotless, sexist, self insert cardboard romance garbage.

[OANST]

I just involuntarily farted.

[Dynamithix]

I watched the new South Park episode, Jewpacabra. It didn't really make any sense, the first half of it was good but then it turned really strange and nonsensical. Ehh, they're just running out of ideas.

I think they ran out of ideas like five seasons ago. The network won't let them quit.

Because it's insipid softcore erotica written by an overweight, sexually frustrated Mormon for prepubescent, midwestern girls whose concept of "love" has yet to evolve beyond hormone-based infatuation. Not to mention that even if you ignore the massive conceptual flaws and terrible characters, it's also just fucking boring.

[Wings of Fire]

'Edward looked at his newborn son, he was both dazzling and dazzled.'

Real line guys

[Sekto Springs]

You just know she was rubbing her greasy snatch while she wrote that line. Gross.

[Mac Sirloin]

It just looks too "Twilighty" to me.

The books (which I read all of, in a day, last summer) as a series are crap. Specifically the second third, the latter is taken up by 2/3rds of the story focusing on the protagonist grumbling about being in the hospital, over and over and over again. But the first book is good, and the 'romance' isn't really there and when it is it's not heavy handed, just to add more 'depth' to it. All of the hype makes it look like a humungous Twilight clone, but it's honestly just a fun, uplifting movie about children murdering the fuck out of one another. You should just get fucked up on acid or something and watch it. That's what I'm going to do.

[Manco]

I can’t take Hunger Games seriously because of how much it just sounds like a Battle Royale ripoff.

Battle Royale for tweenage girls is the vibe I'm getting.

Best. Review. Ever. Also isn't Edward like 100 years old? that's just creepy.

It's not.

[Strike Witch]

I heard the actual problems with the film is terrible pacing, infodumps everywhere, and the main girl is an awful mary sue and none of the other characters are at all interesting.
