Article in the Guardian today about how Pixar have gone bland since their takeover by Disney. Religion poisons everything. Disney poisons everything. Therefore Disney is a religion. Or something.tattuchu wrote:Brave looks bland to me, and derivative. It's like How to Train Your Dragon with a girl instead of a boy, and a bear instead of a dragon.
But it's Pixar. So I'll give it a chance. Prolly go see it next weekend.
More good movies we've seen.

Re: More good movies we've seen.
I also read that the original director of the film was sacked late in the process and someone else was kind enough to step in and finish it up for her. I have to wonder how it might have turnt out if she'd been left unmolested and allowed to consummate her vision, whatever that vision may have been.Clinton Huxley wrote:Article in the Guardian today about how Pixar have gone bland since their takeover by Disney.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

"Brave" was fun, much fun. No singing, or at least not much.

Watched the Korean film "My Way" a few nights ago. Good. 
I liked "The Front Line", too.

Re: More good movies we've seen.
We saw "Brave" on Thurs. and "Avengers Assemble" on Fri. Both fun. "Brave" is epic for the kids. The Triplets from Hell are funny!

Yes. I saw it two weeks ago and I still can't get it out of my mind. (I posted my thoughts about it a few pages back.)Animavore wrote:Melancholia is on the must-see list.
One of the best films I've seen in a very, very long time.
I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.

"The Amazing Spiderman". We both liked this better than the last three. It was better shot, the dialog was better and it was one fewer girlfriends.

Yes, it was much less angsty. I also liked that the aunt wasn't just some poor creature waiting for life to roll over her - she had some backbone.
