There we go, I mean that skeleton-HOLY SHIT!I'm gonna toss in of all time.
They've taken the artform to entirely new levels.

Its either that, or Seth Rogen's latest failed attempt at making shock humor disguise the fact that he can't write interesting characters.I want to see this before it leaves theaters.
Badly.
Maybe even badly enough to see it.

Better move quick. Less than a week after its release we saw it in the early evening. Out of sixteen theaters they had 1.5 assigned (one 2D and sharing a 3D theater with another film).I want to see this before it leaves theaters.

Opposite problem for me. Literally the only non-3D showing for it here is at 2:20 pm. I can't stand 3D glasses, they always make my eyes water 20 minutes in until I take them off.Better move quick. Less than a week after its release we saw it in the early evening. Out of sixteen theaters they had 1.5 assigned (one 2D and sharing a 3D theater with another film).
We two were the only ones in the theater. I've been in theaters with just a few people, but this is the only time I remember being in it literally alone.
Made the experience more enjoyable, but the movie simply isn't going to last in the theaters.
I'd like to have seen it in 3D but the showing times were inconvenient.
And ruin a perfectly good character trait.I want to see this before it leaves theaters.

Sheeesh. I was in a theater with just my dad for crap movies before, but Kubo doesn't deserve it.We two were the only ones in the theater. I've been in theaters with just a few people, but this is the only time I remember being in it literally alone.

They used to have a stage musical version of this running a few years back. It was just as good, if not better at some points... mostly because Mel Brooks helped get it together. I'm pretty sure you can find copies of the performance if you want to. I DO recommend the soundtrack though.I watched Young Frankenstein for the first time last night. I laughed plenty in the movie, but there were also a lot of scenes where I was kind of just watching the movie, not really finding funny, and I actually really liked some of the serious parts, especially at the end of the climax.
But then today, some of those scenes I didn't laugh at were making me chuckle thinking of them. Which is so weird, because it's like they punched me, but I didn't feel it until later? Example, I didn't laugh when Dr. Frankenstein is demanding he be let out of the Creature's room, was just watching the movie. Today, I can't think of Gene Wilder saying "Don't you know a joke when you hear one? HAHAHAHA" without smirking.
But there was a lot I laughed at during the movie itself, and Igor was definitely my favorite part with all his mugging at the audience, though I loved the direct parody scenes of the Karloff movie.
It also used many of the same props as the Karloff movie because they tracked down the original propmaster for the movie and he apparently kept most of that stuff in his garage for decades.Interestingly, Young Frankenstein was shot on the same sets as the Boris Karloff movie at Universal Studios, which I think helps make it such a fantastic parody.
I expected it to be good because of how people talked, but I didn't expect it to be that good. I had the same feelings after watching it "should really buy this at some point."Zootopia
I can see why this made a billion dollars. The animation is stunningly beautiful, it's a good story with engaging characters, it's funny and entertaining. Almost everything that's introduced winds up being relevant at some later point. This is a "to buy once it's on sale".
Tell me his name Doctor.
Eh, I'll wait for the sequel "The Search for people to share an order of General Tso with me, because they don't make carton sized fucking portions for one person."The Search for General Tso. A documentary on Netflix about trying to find the origins of the Chinese dish most loved by US eaters. What an interesting movie. Well worth a watch. It delves heavily into Chinese-American history.
SERIOUS QUESTION-how do you reheat it? I am awful at.Yeah, I usually eat half and put the rest in the fridge until the next day. Then I reheat it, eat all the chicken and throw away thepebblesrice.
Short bursts in the microwave. 45 seconds tops at a time. Also cut the chicken into smaller pieces so it will heat faster.SERIOUS QUESTION-how do you reheat it? I am awful at.
The film that will never be an in flight movie.Watched Sully tonight. It's the Tom Hanks film (directed by Clint Eastwood) about the flight that landed in the Hudson and everyone lived.
For a 208 second flight, they did a pretty good job of making it compelling and stretching it out 5,760 second film. I'm glad I've watched it, but I don't have any particular desire to watch it again, and I wouldn't say that the visuals and sound effects really require movie theater treatment - it'll be fine on most home setups.
It was fun and informative, though, and worth a once-through viewing.[DOUBLEPOST=1473390551,1473389957][/DOUBLEPOST]https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sully/
I read the book this was based on, The Fortune Cookie Chronicles, back in 2008, and it's a great read if anyone has the chance. I didn't realize they made a documentary! I'm going to have to check it out!The Search for General Tso. A documentary on Netflix about trying to find the origins of the Chinese dish most loved by US eaters. What an interesting movie.

It is one of the Marvel movies that moves over well to a smaller screen. Most of the others tend to rely on big battles and effects. Yeah, DP had those, but the humor and personalities were the real main part of the movie.Last movie I saw was Deadpool (DVD from Netflix).... Just as funny on the small screen.
Though it is made from a Marvel IP, Deadpool was produced by Fox for a much smaller budget, which is why it didn't have so many "blockbuster" sequences.It is one of the Marvel movies that moves over well to a smaller screen.

Fortunately they had clever writers who could turn the small budget into jokes, like the limited bullets and cast.Though it is made from a Marvel IP, Deadpool was produced by Fox for a much smaller budget, which is why it didn't have so many "blockbuster" sequences.

Where? Far as I know, the movie starred God's Perfect Idiot.And they had Ryan Reynolds.

Never listen to Gasbandit in vent then.While I liked Deadpool, one of my issues with it was its overuse of swearing. I don't mind swearing, but I do when it's overused to the point of meaningless. Especially in a movie that has a lot of clever writing in it. They relied far too much on the "fuck crutch" as a writing teacher I once had called it. Like, near the end of the movie, when he's getting ready to do the big rescue, there's a string of fuck-shit-cock this and cock-shit-fuck that. As I watched it, all I saw was a wasted opportunity to do a lot of really funny lines.
Swearing while playing video games is totally fucking different.Never listen to Gasbandit in vent then.
