[Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo
- Thread starter Dave
- Start date
Also Merry and Pippin's contributions in prompting the Ents into action. Still, most of the changes had sensible reasons behind them and worked out, so it's my favorite of the three.
I can pretty much say that the majority of the changes from the Books to the Movies were solid media difference changes. ALOT of the book's original style would not have translated well and Jackson did an amazing job porting it over. As for felt like a kids movie? The sheer amount of death and dismemberment makes me wonder what you classify as a children's film.
Fade's son must be pretty hardcore.
It's the first thing that comes to mind when phrased like that.
The kiddos (the twins who are almost 4, and one who is almost 3) have a few bits of clothing that are Star Wars related. So, sure enough, they eventually started asking to see the movie. My joy and excitement cut short by the fact that they lost interest just as Luke was being introduced. But I guess it's too early to really tell, although I remember being hooked by the movies very early. I recall being super excited to see Return of the Jedi in a theater, and I must have only been three at the time.
At least they like Ducktales.
At least they like Ducktales.
I hate to tell anyone this, but I actually showed my daughter episode 1 first. It's more action and she got into it more quickly. The good ones really have to wait until they're old enough to make it through all the introductory stuff.
I sadly think the OT is too boring for kids today. My nephew loves SW (toys), but hasn't made it through the trilogy w/ me yet. I've failed him.

Well you have done.
Maybe you can show them the Clone Wars cartoon, if there's DVD's out? It's supposed to be pretty good and I bet it's got more action than the movies.
Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 was the worst.
It's a matter of timing and child. I'm sure when you were a kid, there were kids who weren't into Star Wars. I know that was the case for me.
I showed the first one to my cousins after they turned 10. The boy loved it, the girl was bored. Haven't gotten around to showing them Empire yet. I have to give her credit; she's willing to give Empire a chance even though she didn't like the first movie. I doubt I'd have done the same for a movie I didn't like when I was 10.
I'm watching Stop Making Sense. This is the best film ever made.
The lady rented Bride Flight, a Dutch film about Dutch emigrants to New Zealand in the 1950s.
It was okay, but flawed. The entire plot was predictable after about 20 minutes in, but somehow they still manage to make the plot developments feel like they came out of nowhere. It's like someone pointing at a pie and saying he's going to throw it at your face, except the pie somehow flies up and hits you before he's even picked it up. You're all like, "Wait, hang on, that's not supposed to happen then."
As a "slice of life" movie though, it's not bad. And the New Zealand scenery is quite pretty.

If I want New Zealand scenery, I'll watch Lord of the Rings.

For me the reason I hate Twilight isn't the terrible romance, but the fact that I don't see ANY way how being a vampire in his universe would suck. They live forever, sun doesn't hurt them, and the opposite sex digs said vamp immensely. HOW IS THIS AWFUL?! Why, because your not human? Being human sucks ass!
Also how Edward calls himself a "vegetarian" vampire, because he eats animals instead of humans. No. No no no. In order to be a vegetarian vampire you drain life force from plants. I have read Bunnicula, and seen several episodes of Duckula, so I KNOW what a vegetarian vampire is.

My Teacher is an Alien, hands down.
Twilight suck because its an anti feminist tract disguised as fantasy.

I assumed the author just figured out a way to write fan-fiction from a genre instead of a specific story.
50 Shades of Grey?
Fan Fiction from Fan Fiction.
Shit into Shittier Shit.
And shit sells.
Shit sells because stupid people don't know they are eating shit.
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet?
Doesn't apply when it's a shit rose.
I've only seen the first Twilight Rifftrax, and was in tears for most of it.
