ah, with that out the way time to read the column :-) by billyhitchcock	Nov 19th, 2008 05:50:11 AM

WALL*E is a stunning transfer by Nordling	Nov 19th, 2008 05:56:49 AM
I wish my eyes were good enough to see every detail.
i love this column by Derek Wildstarr	Nov 19th, 2008 05:57:07 AM
and i'm not being facetious. i look forward to it every week.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time by ScottGreen	Nov 19th, 2008 06:06:00 AM
The current model for anime production largely focuses on producing products for a young audience and hard core fans. Basically, the audiences who'll buy merchandise. A lot of anime is really only recommendable to anime enthusiasts and genre fans. That said, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is a work of art that will delight any viewer. If Hayao Miyazaki movies are the only anime that you watch, expand your horizons a bit check out The Girl Who Leapt.
PARIS, JE T’AIME : by PTSDPete	Nov 19th, 2008 06:07:11 AM
Ick. Filthy faggot mediocrity. " Death Race " over this son of a bitch, baby .
i agree derek but... by billyhitchcock	Nov 19th, 2008 06:11:24 AM
...harry where's the weekly soft porn entry? :-) plus, on that star trek picture it says something about new effects? have they gone all George on it's ass?
PARIS, JE POOP by Err	Nov 19th, 2008 06:28:09 AM
Always wanted to say that.
Yeesh Harry by Cash907	Nov 19th, 2008 06:32:24 AM
what is it with you and obscure crap films no one has ever heard of? And there are lots of good anime, they just don't make it stateside legally. Macross Frontier is surprisingly watchable, even if a little kiddy at times. Pretty much anything from Gonzo and Studio Madhouse is good, as well as Studio Bones.
Wall-E by TiNSeLToWN TeRRoR	Nov 19th, 2008 06:46:43 AM
K.Fu Panda was better.
Oooh, a rare Scott Green appearance! by seppukudkurosawa	Nov 19th, 2008 07:00:59 AM
Do you have the lowdown on the new Monster live-action movie that's coming out next year? I hear it's scripted by the guy who adapted A History of Violence.
And that's pretty funny how on the Tropic Thunder DVD cover by seppukudkurosawa	Nov 19th, 2008 07:03:21 AM
It reads like: "Black Downey Jnr."
And Harry... by seppukudkurosawa	Nov 19th, 2008 07:08:39 AM
you gave the "Big Fun" t-shirt away? That bitch was MADE for you, man! Don't tell me it didn't fit you...
LASTLY by seppukudkurosawa	Nov 19th, 2008 07:13:03 AM
I'd stake my life, OK, my GIRLFRIEND's life that the Time Travel pic Harry's referring to is Time Crimes.
did children like Wall*E? by Spandau Belly	Nov 19th, 2008 07:20:09 AM
I really liked it, but I was wondering if anybody with kids knows if it worked for children?
I can tell you what happened when I took--- by seppukudkurosawa	Nov 19th, 2008 07:31:07 AM
my baby sister and her friend: At the end of the credits (which I forced them to sit through) they stood up and said in eerie unison, "That was a bad movie, wasn't it?" I could have strangled them!
Is Wall-e DATE RAPE? by bluelou_boyle	Nov 19th, 2008 07:35:36 AM
Harry, did you see Devin's article? Your thoughts please.
Every one of my coworkers' kids hated Wall-E. by Nice Marmot	Nov 19th, 2008 07:40:22 AM
But of course they all LOVE Cars to death. Are we sure Ohio is a blue state again?
Busted T Girls by Kentucky Colonel	Nov 19th, 2008 07:51:31 AM
Hurray! The Busted T girls are back!!!!
CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL: by Stormshadow4life	Nov 19th, 2008 07:52:09 AM
Horrible Movie.... but it truly has one of the best commentary tracks around...hilarious!
Gonzo is awful. Watch Breakfast With Hunter instead. by Stuntcock Mike	Nov 19th, 2008 07:53:26 AM
Good stuff.
thanks guys, kinda what I thought by Spandau Belly	Nov 19th, 2008 07:59:19 AM
I figured Wall*E would just go right over kids' heads. I mean, the way it deals with loneliness and all the social satire about becoming lazy and obese, I just didn't see it connecting with children. Still, a great movie.
TIME CRIMES, THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE... by brokentusk	Nov 19th, 2008 07:59:59 AM
That reminds me - where is THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE? It was shot about a year ago and they haven't even released a single trailer. I mean, Bana completed it before moving on to STAR TREK... and that's already got trailers, posters, etc. What gives?
re: Monster by ScottGreen	Nov 19th, 2008 08:08:09 AM
Yeah, in 2006 the buzz was that Josh Olson was writing a script for the live action Monster adaptation. As far as I can tell, the movie hasn't made it past the screenplay phase. I haven't heard/seen anything about casting or planned filming. If you enjoyed Monster, make sure to check out Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys and Pluto mang. Both will be published in North America by Viz in January and both have recently been previewed in the AICN Anime column.
That one dude's eye by lagomorph	Nov 19th, 2008 08:08:24 AM
Cannibal the Musical had one great inspired gag in it where they meet a mountain man whose eye is shooting puss and he's like "Something wrong with my eye?" No discussion of the movie should pass without mention of it.
..."....you DVD folks" ??!! Is that how it is now?... by FlickaPoo	Nov 19th, 2008 08:19:50 AM
...sure, but we ARE hardworking and CAN be smart if we apply ourselves. And we "DVD Folks" sure do have cute babies...shame they have to grow up to be DVD Folks though...
I found Wall-E... by Fing Fang Foom	Nov 19th, 2008 08:29:12 AM
BORING! I could,t believe it. I was excited to rent it. Maybe it's the photorealism and the preachiness? And the fact that a plant could survive the rigors of deep space.
lagomorph by the beef	Nov 19th, 2008 08:37:59 AM
I believe he says "You lookin' at my eye!!" and then the eye squirts puss. I'm not positive since it's been a long time since I've seen it, but I think that's what he says. I also think the song numbers are pretty good.
harry... by unkempt_sock	Nov 19th, 2008 08:46:31 AM
you fail to mention how D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation is the most racis ass backwards south fuck fest ever made. Consider that when watching the rest of his shit.
by unkempt_sock	Nov 19th, 2008 08:46:51 AM

On the subject of "where's the trailer?", by Big Jim	Nov 19th, 2008 08:47:44 AM
where's the trailer for The Road? Has there even been a teaser? I've seen a couple of photos. Isn't it supposed to be released in the next few months?
Spandau Belly re: Kids & Wall-E by KillerTomato	Nov 19th, 2008 08:48:33 AM
I took my 3-yr-old son to see it four times in theaters and bought the Blu-ray yesterday so we could watch it last night. Every single time, he sat stock-still through the whole thing, completely mesmerized. Didn't even want to bug me to get up and take him to the restroom. So yes, my kid LOVES it. But my wife and I are both huge sci-fi nerds and film lovers, so he's been exposed to more nerdy stuff than the average kid. I suspect it all depends on what the parents are letting kids watch. Let them watch crap, and they'll develop banal tastes.
SOPHIE SCHOLL by HoboCode	Nov 19th, 2008 08:58:02 AM
Such a great movie. you keep thinking all through the movie that she'll be fine. Trumped up charges. She might serve some jail time. Then BAM! She's getting the guillotine. Fuck me.
A thousand salaams, Scott! by seppukudkurosawa	Nov 19th, 2008 09:10:05 AM
Believe it or not, I actually ran a search a year or so ago for some of Naoki Urasawa's previous work, but was completely shocked to find nothing had been translated yet. I'll mark their release dates on my mental calendar!
Wall-E SI amazing by erichaislar	Nov 19th, 2008 09:11:37 AM
I watched it again last night. Man it is so good.
second part of walle is a pice of shit by robamenta	Nov 19th, 2008 09:19:59 AM
as soon as he leaves earth and meets the chubby humans its total crap...why is the first half so realistic, and then the human are cartoons?? story was beatutiful in the first part. but ...chhrist...what the hell happened?? how culd they even live on earth in that tacked on happy ending? earth was still a mess, and the chubbies could barely walk. seems like they had a biggining of a film, then other writers came along and flushed it out. flushed it down the toilet...im so tired of pixar worshippers..open your eyes
Yo-hooooo! Yo-hoooooo! ya-hhuhhhh.... by bunksteve	Nov 19th, 2008 09:22:19 AM
I'm surprised nobody jumped on Harry's comment: "it’s fun to whip this out and say, HERE YA GO KID!"
120 Min. of Wild at Heart deleted Scenes by PSJ	Nov 19th, 2008 09:23:11 AM
On the mystery disc. And I also think you get Rabbits and a couple 60s experimental shorts.
robamenta by erichaislar	Nov 19th, 2008 09:24:18 AM
Dude they wanted to start living life, that was the whole message of the film. The robots where more human then they where. Wall-e learned to love and make a life on that shitty planet, then they can too.
THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME by loserguy3000	Nov 19th, 2008 09:28:35 AM
Most anime is shit on a stick (its true), but I actually found THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME" to be a good exception. A friend recommended it to me, and despite its young-girl attitude, it was actually a pretty sweet story that played out quite well. Nice to see Japanese animation that isn't cluttered with esoteric and mind-numbingly bad dialog. Just a good, sweet movie that wasn't preachy or pretentious...again, unlike 95% of the shit that country produces.
erichaislar by robamenta	Nov 19th, 2008 09:31:32 AM
dude how can they live on a planet covered in garbage?? thats why they left in the first place!...nothing changed since the humans left except that the garbage was organized in piles....dude
robamenta by erichaislar	Nov 19th, 2008 09:37:35 AM
If u watch the credits of the film it tells you how they did it though painting montage. Alot of hard work can go a long way.
DerLanghaarige by HoboCode	Nov 19th, 2008 09:40:20 AM
I wasn't being sarcastic actually. I had never heard of Sophie Scholl before the movie, and I'm of German heritage. And you can go fuck yourself with your little jibe at American schooling, fuckwit. You actually think schools outside Germany don't teach about WWII? That's the one of the dumbest things I've read on this site. More like crammed down our throats my friend. We just get more of an American viewpoint of the war so relatively obsure German figures like Sophie Scholl may be lost on some of us.
Alot of hard work can go a long way by robamenta	Nov 19th, 2008 09:43:11 AM
hahaha! if pixar had a dick. youd be sucking it....
What?! No 1970s Softcore Italian porn this week?!?! by Fart_Master_Flex	Nov 19th, 2008 09:47:01 AM
Either Harry is slipping or all of the old Italian/lesbian/nun titty flicks are finally on DVD.
robamenta by erichaislar	Nov 19th, 2008 09:57:38 AM
I would play with balls too.
Origin and Black Lagoon by frongbak	Nov 19th, 2008 10:01:22 AM
Just watched those Animes and well less than impressed although but were solid efforts. I will give Girl a chance strictly cause I like decent time-travel stories, and there have been alot of shitty ones lately, I'm looking at you Lost and Heroes.
Wall-E would have been a great 25 minute toon by Flip63Hole	Nov 19th, 2008 10:03:31 AM
that's about it. But I liked it more than the guy I watched it with. He got angry. I definitely regret watching the whole thing - you pretty much knew the outcome of the thing in the shoe once they were on the ship. Lots of cute, physical gag shenanigans for the kiddies. And Eva says Wall-E a lot...
Kung Fu Panda by frongbak	Nov 19th, 2008 10:04:03 AM
Was good, watched it in IMAX and enjoyed the hell out of it. And I am a big Kung-Fu movie fan. But to compare it to Wall-E is a joke. It's like saying Iron Man was better than The Dark Knight, and no one is stupid enough to suggest that, right? Right???
The Criterions have been pushed back. by brons0n81	Nov 19th, 2008 10:10:18 AM
The blu-ray versions of Chungking Express and Bottle Rocket have been pushed back to December 16th. I just didn't want anyone to be disappointed when the went out to by it next tuesday. http://www.highdefdigest.com/n ews/show/Criterion/Street_Date _Changes/Criterion_Delays_Firs t_Wave_of_Blu-rays/2262
Wall-E and my kids by Wee Willie	Nov 19th, 2008 10:14:44 AM
I have four kids, ages 7, 5,4, and six months. After Wall-E, they were kind of indifferent. Not like after Ratatouille, when they ran out of the theatre declaring that they all wanted to be "cookers" when they grew up. (They meant "Chefs")
finally girl who leapt comes out by T 1000 xp professional	Nov 19th, 2008 10:21:13 AM
I've been searching for that one for quite some time on blockbuster online.... mail in rental here i come
He wasn't specifically bashing American education by seppukudkurosawa	Nov 19th, 2008 10:54:21 AM
so much as non-German education. Deutschland uber alles!
Capital Crime Against the Written Word by Aquatarkusman	Nov 19th, 2008 11:04:16 AM
"Many hate it, fewer love it, but I come down with the minority opinion – I love the film." I think that's at least two redundancies in the span of fifteen words, which is an impressive achievement. We then continue with "It is absurdist, sardonic and a pessimistic view of where this country was once headed, have we averted this future, I feel so, but 48% of the country would probably disagree." That's transcends a mere run-on sentence to become a marathon sentence. // They are, however, continuing to let Richard Kelly make movies, so it wasn't a total loss.
damn harry by MacTard420	Nov 19th, 2008 11:06:10 AM
Tom Cruise's dancing was probably the worst part of Tropic Thunder! His cussing fit was golden though and I already have the 2-disc DVD on the way. But I rarely find the 'every-character-dancing-at-th e-end-of-a-movie' humorous.
Wall-E with the kids by Jaws Wayne	Nov 19th, 2008 11:18:58 AM
My boy totally dug Wall-E (he's nearly 8) and later I took him again with some of his buddies to see it once more. They all loved it, I myself liked it a whole lot more the 2'nd time around. Fine movie, although I really couldn't care for all the scenes with the fat people (all average American sized )in the Spaceship. Not nearly as great a film as The Incredibles, then again, what is.
TROPIC THUNDER by Series7	Nov 19th, 2008 11:24:14 AM
I'm just amazed how well Stiller was able to can control of this movie. I mean how they kept Cruises mug out of the tabloids and movie sites is fucking amazing. Tropic thunder was so fucking good. I say this week the 2 front runners for Best Picture, best screen play and best sound effects/sound effects editing Tropic Thunder and Wall-E came out this week.
Loved Tropic Thunder so much, but Harry... by porterdsgn	Nov 19th, 2008 11:30:10 AM
... you didn't mention what the difference was between the Theatrical release and the Director's Cut? Is it worth getting the Director's Cut?
Tropic Thunder:Directors Cut by skimn	Nov 19th, 2008 11:32:48 AM
?? Really?! Just rewatched it last night and didn't see any difference. Are they counting the extras? If so, bad advertising, bad advertising. And despite one's feelings on WallE, can we admit what Pixar does is art, what Dreamworks et all do is cartoons.
Wall-E was OK by Zardoz	Nov 19th, 2008 11:39:54 AM
but not great. Incredible animation, but the second half of the story was lame and predicatable. I didn't much care for the rat-chef movie, either...Give us Incredibles 2!
Tropic Thunder was the funniest movie by I Dunno	Nov 19th, 2008 11:48:41 AM
I've seen since The Big Lebowski, easy.
WallE by skimn	Nov 19th, 2008 11:52:30 AM
I thought, would I like, or even care about a "love" story between a robot that looks like a Steve Jobs wet dream, and a compacted Johnny 5? Damn if Pixar didn't get me again. With just a sound or simple visual, Pixar can play those emotions like a violin. Bastards.
and listen to the Tropic Thunder commentary by I Dunno	Nov 19th, 2008 11:52:54 AM
Robert Downey Jr does almost the whole thing in character. Then when his character switches to Australian, he switches to Australian dialect in the commentary. Then he drops character during the closing credits. Stiller said, "This is where Robert makes the rest of us look like assholes". Everyone seemed to genuinely like and respect each other, which is refreshing.
Southland Tales? by drewlicious	Nov 19th, 2008 11:57:18 AM
How can anyone like that steaming pile? It was terribly shot, horribly acted, and the writing was incomprehensible. And as a satire it was childish at best. Nothing but a bunch of twists that say nothing themselves. Sorry, Harry but this goes rigth up there with your review of Lady in the Water, another intolerable piece of pretentious garbage.
WALL-E = BOOOORING! by Orionsangels	Nov 19th, 2008 11:58:59 AM
Yet my 4 year old niece can't get enough of it. She goes into a trance when she watches it. I don't get it. I tried too. I went in with an open mind, but it never grabs me. I just keep thinking, is it over yet?
The word "pretentious" by seppukudkurosawa	Nov 19th, 2008 12:10:33 PM
has officially been axed from the English language. Try something else.
seppukudkurosawa by HoboCode	Nov 19th, 2008 12:16:09 PM
pedantic?
Very well by drewlicious	Nov 19th, 2008 12:43:14 PM
I submit the following substitutes: "transparently academic" "snooty" "full of crap" "Rolling Stone-esque" (The magazine not the band)
Tropic Thunder Director's Cut by Vern	Nov 19th, 2008 12:50:37 PM
I guess it's about 13 minutes longer, not necessarily better or worse. There's one scene added before they go into the jungle where Steve Coogan is trying to get the actors to have a meeting during a party, it establishes the characters and his desperation a little more but isn't that important. The rest is just added lines and jokes throughout. My favorite additions were Jay Baruchel talking about Renny Harlin being underrated and some Ben Stiller movie-within-the-movie lines that I think were new, but I could be wrong. The extras on that disc are great though. I remember a bunch of people complaining about Steve Coogan not being in the movie enough, well he's in the "Reign of Madness" documentary more than he's in the movie, so check that one out. Also I would like to praise the designers of this DVD because under the paper sleeve it looks like a real war movie, there is very little to indicate it's a comedy and that's pretty cool.
"dvd folks" by billyhitchcock	Nov 19th, 2008 12:57:52 PM
that is a touch condescending isn't it! really really hope blu ray doesn't become the next universal format.
Is "sacrilicious" actually a word now? by Thrillho77	Nov 19th, 2008 01:19:21 PM
Did Homer Simpson actually coin ANOTHER real word now?
Vern Tropic by skimn	Nov 19th, 2008 01:29:28 PM
Okay, Jay does his "He's no Ridley Scott but Renny Harlins really underated.."to the reply from Downey, "You still fuckin talkin to me?"
Griffith's WAY DOWN EAST is brilliant! by Prague23	Nov 19th, 2008 01:36:36 PM
Thank Jebus it's on DVD finally! But I've gotta say, ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD & GONZO coming out on the same day has made my entire week! WAY DOWN EAST is the best film (that I've seen) in this week's list, though. Check it out if you love the old, silent films!
WAY DOWN EAST CLIP: by Prague23	Nov 19th, 2008 01:46:38 PM
http://tinyurl.com/69vm7w RISKING THEIR FRAKIN LIVES!!! I never claimed that Griffith was a wise man, just a hellava fine filmmaker! Although, being that I haven't got a Confederate flag hanging in my flat, I can't agree with his politics ;-)

Wall-E for kids by WaitingforAvengers	Nov 19th, 2008 02:21:35 PM
I work at an afterschool program. Most of the younger kids liked Kung Fu Panda better by a lot, but the fifth graders up really dug Wall-E.
DerLanghaarige by HoboCode	Nov 19th, 2008 02:30:27 PM
Dude you crack me up. Seriously. I'm not sayign their aren't problems with the American educational system. Lord knows there is. But you are epitome of a sterotypically overly-defensive, overly-sensitive, humorless German. It's hilarious actually because I've been to Germany several times and I've met others like you who have similar xenophobic beliefs that the world is out to get them. Chill. Nobody thinks the stuff that you cited about Germans all being Nazis and saying Heil Hitler and such. They probably say that shit to you because they know you will have a histrionic fit about it and give them a good laugh. Relax mein Freund. It's going to be OK.
DVD folks by yomomma	Nov 19th, 2008 02:52:57 PM
I'm skipping Blu-ray. By the time I've spent the hundreds for a new player, and further hundreds for a disc collection, I'd wind up with MAYBE 5 years worth of use before all this becomes obsolete. All this will be available in a digital format for download via X-box or a netflix equivalent in HD in a few years anyway. Blu-ray is great and all, but it's the music DVD of our times. A High quality format that will not survive the convenience of downloadable HD that is already becoming ubiquitous. Skip the expense. That said, I try to ignore all of Harry's gushing over the format, because he points out the interesting small genre films that come out unnoticed buried under the hype of bigger movies, that I would otherwise miss. This column keeps my netflix list well stocked. I wish he would put a little more focus on under-the-radar genre releases and less on 20 year old movies we've all seen becoming available on Blu-ray. How many people here actually have a collection extensive enough to care about purchasing Sophie Scholl on DVD, let alone the newly available Blu-ray?
Wall-E backlash ??? by giger167	Nov 19th, 2008 02:57:29 PM
I may be totally out of sync with the crowd on this one, but the film was an utter joy from beginning to end. If you buy two films before xmas I'd pick Wall-E and Sleeping Beauty Blu-rays, they are both stunning artistic achievements in every way :)
That WHO disc is frigging amazing by DarthJedi	Nov 19th, 2008 03:27:27 PM
The local PBS channel showed it about a month back. For those that don't know, it was Keith Moon's last live performance with the band before his death, I think about a month later. Watching the original band play their greatest tunes and sound just amazing brought tears to my eyes in places. Definitely one of the best performance films I've ever seen.
Someone must have noticed by Abominable Snowcone	Nov 19th, 2008 04:54:31 PM
how prominently the words "Black Downey Jr" are written on top of the TT DVD. Yes, I know they mean Jack Black, but what it says is "Stiller Black Downey Jr." ANd that's what you get.
THE WHO AT KILBURN by Mr. Nice Gaius	Nov 19th, 2008 05:37:40 PM
As a huge Who nut, this is a real treat. What's even cooler is the bonus disc which includes a monster gig from the London Coliseum (I believe). DarthJedi - strangely enough, the Kilburn show is NOT Keith Moon's last performance with The Who. It was his second-to-last. The Kilburn gig is infamous for a number of reasons. But it's the show that was originally filmed to be included in The Who's first biopic, THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT. However, the band had not played in over a year and Keith was out of form on the drums. (You can actually see the physical change in his appearance due to his excessive lifestyle.) Afterwards, the band and filmmakers decided that they were not pleased with the gig and agreed to film another show at Shepperton Studios later on. It was this later show that would go on to make up the footage we all know and love from THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT. (If you look closely, you can see that everyone, except Moon, wore the exact same outfits from Kilburn.) So, ultimately, the Shepperton gig was Moon's last performance with The Who. Cheers!

WALL-E Is Garbage by PR1C3Y	Nov 19th, 2008 06:35:31 PM
That just happened.
WALL-E looked great by the milf lover	Nov 19th, 2008 06:59:37 PM
I was in awe of the visuals the whole time, but the story left me indifferent for the most part, it was kinda boring at times. But I would have loved to have seen it in IMAX!! Kung Fu Panda was just stunning in IMAX. Day the Earth Stood Stiil and Madagascar get IMAX releases, but not WALL-E? Pixar totally dropped the ball on that one.
I fucking hated Wall-E (spoiler) by blindambition238	Nov 19th, 2008 09:00:42 PM
The penultimate scene where his memory gets wiped and Eve is trying to get him to remember who he is and herself made me shed a tear, even though I knew that Pixar wasn't as heartless as Disney and would eventually find someway to flip it back to a happy ending. Fuck you Pixar.
you hate Wall-E because it made you cry? by the milf lover	Nov 19th, 2008 10:08:22 PM

I was sorta kidding milfy by blindambition238	Nov 19th, 2008 11:02:54 PM
I meant to say that I hated pixar for managing to to elicit a tear from me with a such a wonderfully executed scene, even if I knew how it was going to end.
I figured that's what you meant by the milf lover	Nov 19th, 2008 11:31:15 PM
sarcasm just doesnt work well in writing, does it? ;)
Gotta get Girl who leapt through time... by Johnno	Nov 20th, 2008 03:20:23 AM
Is that box like a special edition or something? Looks thick... Anyway I wanted to check out Mirror mask, maybe I'll try renting it, as for Wall-E, I like it, but I like Finding Nemo, Incredibles, and Ratatouille much better...

Loved the Dutch foreign exchange student who asked by JackRabbitSlim	Nov 20th, 2008 11:35:00 AM
in upstate New York "Why haven't I seen anyone wearing a cowboy hat?" to which a mutual friend replied, "Why aren't you wearing wooden shoes?"

When Harry says things like... by D.Vader	Nov 20th, 2008 11:13:33 PM
..." PRESTO, which I watched on repeat for 2 hours " Does anyone actually think for a second that Harry just might actually be retarded?
All the WALL-E haters....... by closeencounter	Nov 22nd, 2008 10:25:48 AM
Are saying the same thing: "I hated WALL-E because....because....it reminded me....of....of MEEEEEEEE!!!!!"

Until your reviews get better I am done buying dvd's through you by happybunni	Nov 24th, 2008 01:20:54 AM
Yep. Your reviews over the past year make me think that none of your movie picks can be trusted. Therefore I will no longer be purchasing any DVD reccomendations through this site.
D. Vader, re Harry being retarded... by alanmoore	Nov 24th, 2008 08:52:16 AM
Hmm. Perhaps he just went Full Retard and never game back...? We know he liked Twilight, after all.
as per usual I have several thoughts by The Amazing G	Nov 25th, 2008 03:21:55 AM
1.I fucking loved Tropic Thunder, matter of fact it's actually a new favorite of mine, I will defiantly pick up the blu ray at some point 2.I almost want to buy the Heathers blu ray for the Big Fun shirt alone 3. Harry, you should really join the cult of anime, I think you would enjoy it :)
well shit by The Amazing G	Nov 25th, 2008 03:22:31 AM
that was only three thoughts wasn't it? also I sure wish I could indent
WallE by Stormshadow4life	Nov 25th, 2008 09:32:22 PM
Watched it twice in the theaters, and again tonight on BluRay....I love that little robot! Definitely top 3 Pixar!
I agree about Wall-E sucking in the second half... by BigTuna	Nov 26th, 2008 06:46:34 PM
Having no talking, it was magoical. Once he met the humans on the spaceship it felt very cliched and lost it's magic.
What's wrong with me? by wato	Nov 27th, 2008 03:31:43 AM
I love Pixar. I love animation. I do not get WallE. Not at all. It is by far Pixar's weakest film for me. I wish I could see it in the way the fans do. But I just don't get it.
Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Sucks!) by maxbrown	Nov 30th, 2008 03:43:28 PM
I'm no snob towards anime (FLCL and Miyazaki are two of my favorite things, anime or not). I'm totally fine with a romantic drama/mushy coming-of-age story if it's done correctly. I absolutely LOVE time travel as a concept, and I ABSOLUTELY HATE "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time." The story was loose, the rules were unclear, the protagonist was whiny and brain-dead. This was possibly my least favorite time-travel movie ever. If you want something good, watch PRIMER.
Heathers is Fucking Excellent !!!!! by PTSDPete	Dec 1st, 2008 07:49:45 AM
Just saw this movie right now. I must say, they don't make gutsy ' high school films ' like this anymore. It's really the film for people who certainly didn't buy into any of that teenaged sort of garbage when it was happening, in a terse, focused, legitimate sort of way. One that just skirted out of that dumb milieu, into crafting a brutal, fascinating narrative about youth, society, class politics and force of arms. Truly unbelievable. " Mean Girls " is just a meaningless, downgraded, egghead , Tina-Feyed saccharine shit version for the plastic MTV set that got into the joke instead of laughing at it. Negative points again, for that bitter Clintonite hag. If it weren't for Sarah Palin..... Mature fun film for those who never got the deal with all that manufactured subcultural nonsense, yet not acting pathetically sorry for not ' getting the date at the prom '. I'd recommend it to everybody !
