xD I see. Well yaoi is awesome ^^ But I'm not a fan of metal...robots...o_o

neither am i but it's funny to think about it

True that. True that. ^^ Giant metal robots are sturdy ;]
and do lost of damage o_o

I liked Transformers, but I didn't see much of the series ever. I do like the cartoon movie though. I'm not enough of a buff to be interested in seeing the others though. I'm curious, but I'm not going to panic about it. I liked Beast Wars though, but I honestly couldn't care less if there's a movie about it.

I still haven't bothered to watch Avatar. I muck around too much in fantasy to care about blue people in wierd plant, and as far as I've heard, it's Ferngully for people not old enough to know about it, or who don't watch cartoons.

I remember Ferngully, I remember watching it in school when I was like 8 or 9 when discussing about the rain forest and how to save it oTL

it was pointless

It has a point. Look out for the rainforest and treat nature nicely. It may have been on obvious point but it had a point. Avatar, from what I've heard from people who've watched both, is essentially Fergully with technology avatar-ness in place of faerie magic.

Avatar is basically Pocahontas. Just like how the Clash of the Titans is Hercules. The disney movies are being remade into live action. Plus, the SAME actor is in both of those movies :/ I don't like Sam worthington or whatever his name is. Nope.

I saw Avatar it was more like what I heard Dancing with Wolves, but it reminded me like Pocahontas

I'm pretty sure Clash of the Titans (the original) predates Hercules, and if you're refering to the Disney movie, which I assume you are, Greece damanded a written apology for that one. Hearsay really on my part but it makes sense to me. I thought it was a horrible movie and basically a money grab on Disney's part. Money grab fine, but don't mess around with serious cultural figures! Zeus and Hera are Hercules parents...no. Pegasus was made from clouds for infant Hercules...also no. Hercules was a nice guy...not really. Zeus and Hera were happily married...what myth were they reading? Etc. etc.

Saw a trailor for Cowboys and Aliens. It doens't look half bad actually. Looks fun. :). Thinking about it, there's no particular reason aliens can't have been around way back when, and so on.

Well they had to make it child appropriate, they can't really say that Zeus was cheating on his wife constantly and raped a mortal woman. There's a whole Nostalgia chick review about Hercules.

here it is: http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/vid...27032-hercules

Computer's arguing with me about the video so will need to check it out later.

It's not just the parentage thing though. Lost of parts in the story and in greek myth are hardly appropriate to be put in a cartoon for kids. It's just not really a kid's story to begin with, and especially not with the way they presented it. I've seen stories about Hercules/Heracles in kids books they they simply left out inappropriate details, they didn't alter them completely. That's my beef with the movie.

Disney mangled The Little Mermaid as well but that one is a kids' story and elements where there even though they were shifted around quite a bit. There was more to the story in the original, but Disney just left that material out, rather than change it to fit. Even thogh TLM isn't "proper" I still like it. I can't say the same for Hercules.

Maybe they liked the theme of Greek Mythology but didn't get into what they were dealing with

Maybe. Not sure what the thought process might have been. It just didnt' seem to end well, at least for me.

I like the disney movies. They are classic ^^ (the old ones anyways) I don't like sam worthington who plays the main characters in both avatar and clash of the titans (the new one) and I didn't like either of those movies.

Quiet - Disney did The Hunchback of Notre Dame as a kid's movie. A kid's movie...
There's nothing they won't Disnify XD I mean seriously, what's next, a Disnified version of Dante's Inferno?
....I actually wouldn't mind seeing that lmao. Train wrecky goodness.

(Although HfND did create Hellfire, one of my absolute favorite song scenes in a Disney film yet, so there you go.)

There is an anime Dante's Inferno after the video game and I love it dead babies, vagina monsters, the things on why I don't believe in Christianity

Aaaaand that reminds me of a particular stand up comment who's routine I won't quote here. But yeah. I'm not that familiar with Hunchback but I did read about it in a magazine article, where some of the inconsistancies were quoted. I think that article may have also mentioned Hercules as well.

It's not that I'm anti-Disney, though I'm that fond of the company anyway, they just have their share of snags like every other movie company does.

Not familiar with the movie or the book?

...wow an anime based on a video game based on a 700 year old poem
I just...
I have got to see this XDD

I have the DVD, and it's so good

Which video game would that be?

I'm not familiar with the book, but seen the movie.

Dante's Inferno

When I saw the Speed Racer movie, I was so disappointed. I thought it'd be good, but it was (and still is) a total flop.

Never saw it. I wanna see the Silent hill sequel and the witchblade movie as well as the battle angel Live actions

Let me put it this way: Don't

It's a waste of money, really. There are some movies that I do want to see in theaters, though, that I won't go see simply because I am gonna buy them on DVD anyway. Two fine examples are the Transformers movie and the Pirates movie. I have the rest. Why not wait?

I don't need to spend the money since I would download it through a torrent XD

I kept trying to get people to go to movies with me when I worked at a theater and got free admission for myself an a guest but could never get anyone to go! I dragged my friend to go see Batman Begins when it came out and I think that was about it. Kinda sucked. Did get to see most of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (love that film!), the new Herbie, Monster in Law (better than I thought it would be) and some of War of the Worlds simply by working there and ushering.

I can do without seeing the rest of War of the Worlds though. Not a big fan of Tom Cruise to begin with and I'm not the type to go for two and a half hours (guessing) of mass panic. Although, the 'save my daddy' scene was heartwarming and encouraging in it's way.

I wish I can work at a movie theater

It's not a great job. Although, one of the laziest and easiest I've ever had. There was a 20 minute such in my town while everyone shows up to get tickets, then I drum my fingers or sweep the rest of the time. When Ushering, the job was essentially stand around and watch the movie watching for trouble makers. Then, after the movie, clean the theater as fast as you can, meaning, pick up anything that will spill and garbage it, stuff the rest behind and beneath the seats for the mall janitor to get later. No gloves though, and popcorn and butter makes for some disgustingly greasy pop cups. *Shudder*

As well as working at a library, but they always end up be a volunteer job or you need a degree in library science(which I've never heard of)

I was gunning for a degree in Library Science but my grades were .4 percent short. Really annoying. That's what one would need for the admin stuff, and libraries here are government buidings to a point, they aren't businesses so lots of stuff is volunteer. I like libraries. I volunteered at my elementary school library and still have a habt of putting out of place books in their proper spot if I see them while getting study materials for papers and such.

I'm just waiting until I'm old enough to get enough financial aide so I can go to college

May as well work now and try and save something if you can. It all helps.

I just got reminded of a movie the other day that I hated...I mean absolutely loathed that was lauded by a bunch of people as being this brilliant piece of deconstruction cinema.
Buncha bs 9_9
(It's Falling Down if anyone's interested)

There's two movies like that I've seen, where everyone is like OMG THIS THING IS SO BRILLIANT and I'm like wtf
did these people see the same movie I did o_____o

I think a lot of 'brilliant' movies are just hyped up

Depends on the experiences of the generalo movie going public I guess, or what the studios' and distributers' of it is.

Splice. :[ The ending pissed me off so bad. I was a thread away from snapping and screaming "Die bitch!" at the screen.

And the reboot of the Wolf Man. I don't remember anything of that movie, and I don't care to see it again.

What is this "Wolf Man" you speak of? One of those old horror movies? Another remake? EEEeek! :eek:

There was a reboot of it that came out last year. DONT give it money.

Not sure what you mean by "reboot" unless you're talking a film remake. To me, "Reboot" an old CG cartoon with throwbacks to TRON. ;)

yeah, that too...and critics tend to hype up movies so everyone sees them thinking they're 'supposed' to, and I think creates a feeling for some that if this movie is critically acclaimed they -supposed- to like it, so they pretend to and don't actually think about what they've seen.

ALWAYS THINK!
Because movie studios don't want you to *nodnod*

Reminds me of an argument I had with my sister.

"This is a great movie!"
"I don't like it much."
"But it's a masterpiece!"
"I know. But I don't like it."
"How can you say that! The movie is awesome! It has (x) awards and the director is this guy!"
"Yeah, it's a well done movie, I just don't like it."
