Great! I love it...
That is so fucking cool. I love cinematography, it's a big part of the experience.
Thanks for sharing Pablo.
How to feel about Now You See Me getting a sequel? I think they'll be forced to make something of the first one's irrational mishmash to go anywhere in another story. So that's good. Only other choice is selling totally brainless spectacle. If so, my last shred of faith in the public may be at risk there.
I thought the first one was terrible, so it can't get much worse. Who knows, maybe it will actually be better than the first somehow.Quote:

Doesn't explain why we are all so fucked up but bloody great film...
Exactly! You put what I was trying to say into, like, normal person language. Thanks.Quote:

Have you seen Chef? I'm wondering if it was better than that film. I thought it was pretty good.Quote:

Yes, I saw chef also. Both great films but burnt deals more with who a chef is and not so much about the pleasure food gives us... I got a great recipe for slow roast cuban pork, what he cooks on "chef", its bloody lovely...
I gotta say, I'm a little surprised at the early reviews for X-Men: Apocalypse. Kind of dividing people.
Do any of you listen to The Canon podcast? I just recently started listening to it, and if you're into films you'll love it. Each week they discuss a new film and decide if it should be in the canon of best films.

So I'm watching Troll and Julia Louis-Dreyfus is in it :wtf:

She has a ridiculous education in not just kid-cinema, but family-cinema as well. From Lion King to Goonies, from ET to Toy Story. We've seen Life of Pi, all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Charlotte's Web, Avengers, Brother Bear, Jurassic Park, and all six Ninja Turtles movies (and we just started the second season of the 2012 TV show, which is actually really good by the way). And so on and so on.
The point I'm getting to is, have there been any movies I've missed? So, going through lists of "must-see kid's movies" brings me to the ones I've left out, and which I'm downloading now:
Babe
Beethoven
Home Alone
Paddington
Land Before Time
The Red Balloon
I'm waiting on It's A Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, and a Christmas Story until Christmas time.
The only movie that we've started that she had ZERO interest in was Harry Potter. A little crushed by that one, but maybe she was tired. I'll give it another try in a few months. Are there any movies that you were excited to show your kids (or significant other, or friends) that they just weren't into?
Book of life. Digby, labyrinth (with Bowie) , drop dead Fred, bugsy Malone, rango, the three amigos. I'll have to think of more, I've got loads in my head somewhere
I believe there was a thread around here at one time that was about movies and/or TV shows that everyone else has seen but you've never gotten around to watching. I'll have to see if I can dig it up. I just recently watched Reservoir Dogs for the first time and can now cross it off my list.
I don't know how old your daughter is, but from the titles you listed I would take a look at stuff like The Neverending Story, Legend, Labyrinth, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, Star Wars - all that '80s goodness. They knew how to make good kids movies back then. Though I guess these do skew a little toward boys. Then good '90s fare like My Girl and The Sandlot, as well as Adams Family and the early Jim Carrey movies like The Mask and Ace Ventura. The more recent stuff I'm having a hard time with. Maybe Alexander's No Good... Day?Quote:

A recent kids movie would be The Peanuts Movie, I don't know if you seen that. It's great.
And this is a guilty pleasure but the Problem Child series. Loved it as a kid, and caught them on TV not too long ago, and it was just as hilarious.
I really liked The Jungle Book.
