Mugwump's Movie Madness!

May 11, 2009 10:55

Tomorrow will be the big super-mega-blockbuster day, wherein I will review the epic blockbusters "Wolverine" and "Star Trek". Today, however, I will delve in some slightly different fare. Be warned! I dare tremendous and frightening things here. Even I fear to tread lightly in such waters!

Battle For Terra

( Believe it or not, there are companies that are not Pixar/Disney or Dreamworks who make animated films. That's crazy talk! )

I didn't know Battle for Terra was already out! =headdesk=

chaosvizier May 11 2009, 17:41:28 UTC

It's out and about! Although probably not for much longer... better hurry if you want it.

wiredwizard May 12 2009, 01:20:20 UTC

I'll get it on dvd eventually.

How...why... I...

I am speechless with shock. Why did you see Twilight?

chaosvizier May 11 2009, 17:42:45 UTC

I was poking fun at my girlfriend for doing the twilight thing, and she said I can't make fun just because a bunch of dumbasses on the internet said it was bad. And hey, that's fair. So... there I was, with Twilight on the DVD player. At least I didn't spend money. ;-)

barbarienne May 11 2009, 18:52:13 UTC

Fair enough.

(Also: Girlfriend? How long has that been going on? Dude, we never talk!)

chaosvizier May 11 2009, 19:23:56 UTC

You of all people should remember that I'm the master of not talking. Jedi Mind Trick: Deflect Conversation.

Also, I just don't talk about her much. Private life, that kind of thing.

Oh dear Optimus Christ on a ramchip, can you imagine Torgo's knees in 3-D?

I believe the Rifftrax guys dubbed Jasper "Harpo Cullen."

And you left out an important group of Twilight people--the lolfans who love how tremendously awful these books are. Sort of like the haters, except we still find the books and movie entertaining on an entirely different level ...

chaosvizier May 11 2009, 17:44:00 UTC

Torgo and the Master enter... THE THIRD DIMENSION!!!

You know what I'd watch over and over again? "Flash Gordon 3D." Oh shit yeah. Go Flash Go!

Okay. Haven't seen the first movie and probably won't, so there that goes.

Twilight...my daughter wants me to read ALL the books. I got through the first one, and about halfway in the second one, and would probably rather slit my wrists than subject my poor brain to the rest of them.

She and her BFF went to the premier midnight movie and loved it, and of course she had her DVD the instant it hit the shelves. Then she asked me to watch it with her. I actually did sort of like it because, as you said, most of the boring parts were cut out. And no, vampires should NOT sparkle.

vampire baseball...*snicker*

chaosvizier May 11 2009, 19:51:30 UTC

I suppose I should be more open to change; I mean, why can't someone reinvent the way vampires are? Why can't they sparkle in the sunlight, instead of dissolving into dust? But then I think, no, because that's what they're supposed to do, and just because the author wants to write about herself going to high school with her sexy teenageish vampire boyfriend (who really isn't very physically attractive, but perhaps that's me) doesn't mean you can rewrite the Laws of Vampirism set down ages ago by Bram Stoker!

I'm stubborn, I guess. I am against sparkles. But I'm for vampire baseball. That's ok.

lady_autumnstar May 11 2009, 21:38:56 UTC

I had the thought that as the vampire dissolves into dust that the dust could sparkle in the sunlight.

Truthfully, I didn't think Edward was all that, either, but then I'm a Barnabas Collins type of girl.

If I have to watch baseball I'd as soon watch vampire baseball.

doomgirl May 11 2009, 19:50:46 UTC

I'm totally a nerd. Read the Twilight books (all four of them) in about three days. I liked them. But the movie was a pretty poor representation of the stories. Of course...so were the books. hee.

I liked the story...but the author is...um...well...a little on the beginner side. We'll just stop there.

chaosvizier May 11 2009, 19:56:15 UTC

I read a few excerpts from her books. They make my NaNoNovels seem good in comparison. Yay, ego boost! ;-)

doomgirl May 11 2009, 20:05:42 UTC

Her non vampire story was good too...but the writing makes it take FOREVER to really get into the story.

chaosvizier May 12 2009, 15:01:27 UTC

She needs the Robert Jordan treatment.

Step one: Acquire book.
Step two: Leave first fifty and last fifty pages intact.
Step three: Rip out all/most/half of the pages between.
Step four: Begin reading.
Step five: Profit!
