Where is this quote from? Google isn't helping. Seems no one knows for sure.
“What are you going to do, spoon me to death?”
I swear I've heard it recently, maybe even read it on Vox. It's driving me nuts and I must know.
We were watching previews and saw one for a movie that looked like it was done in the same style as the Paranoia Agent anime series. We looked it up, and it was! Director and Writer Satoshi Kon. The other stuff on his IMDB list looked good too, so we got Millennium Actress.
I really liked the way it was done, how when she retold her life, it was a movie being filmed. I kind of knew what was going to happen in the end, and though I thought it was cheesy, it was the right way to end it.
Another classic childhood movie I didn't see during my childhood. So when commercials for the Platinum digitally restored DVDs kept playing on tv, we grabbed a copy and watched it.
The beginning wasn't what I thought it would be. It was confusing actually. Was that when Peter and Wendy first met? It seemed like it, but there was no introduction? Also, where was Wendy's house and her mothering the Lost Boys?
But other than that, it was cute (well, it *was* Disney). I liked how all the various female character got jealous of Wendy and felt threatened by her presence.
Oh, and J said that Princess Tigerlilly looked like me *g*
This is one of those movies I watched before, that got added to our Netflix queue because I thought I hadn't. But I did, and minutes into the movie, I recognized it.
I saw it on tv the first time though, and there were commercials which kind of made the effect of happening real-time less neat. That was what I really liked about the movie, and it was well-done too because it didn't leave me bored or ADD at any point.
Not as funny as the first one, but still funny. But that's because I like Taj and Kumar.
I was also waiting for Ryan Reynolds to make an appearance, and was disappointed that he didn't :(
We watched a dubbed version. I probably would have liked it better in its original voice, but I still thought it was an awesome movie and story. I really loved the end; thank god for people with honor.
So I know the basic story – guy in his 7th year of college – but I've never actually seen the movie till now and I thought it was funny. Even more so after seeing the article and website about the real life Van Wilder. That was a while ago though, forget his name and school. I wonder if he's graduated since?
Cute date movie. I probably wouldn't like it otherwise, but cute date movie.
I liked the movie, but not the way it was put together. I didn't think the stories had anything to do with each other other than the guy who sold the other guy the gun (and the underlying stuff about family and parents' neglecting to pay attention to their children), so I don't understand why they had to alternate.
I think it would have been better if the first half was one story/country, and the second half was of the other (like in Full Metal Jacket).
That, or have it alternate more frequently. It stayed on one for so long that I'd be so focused on it, and felt like someone switched the channel on me when it skipped over to the other one. It was also hard to remember exactly what had happened since the other story when it switched back, since it'd been so long. Maybe it's just me and my short attention span, but meh.
I thought the first 20 or so minutes was exactly what should have happened – never trust anyone in prison. And I thought that's all that should have happened but that wouldn't have been a good movie, so I guess I liked the rest of it too.
