Decided not to see the movies I was debating on this weekend. Saw 2012 instead. If you like being tense the whole time and breaking the hand of the person you're with, then this movie is perfect. LOL! Actually it really was a great movie, absolutely wonderful effects, pulls at the heartstrings (perhaps just a little too sad sometimes, but that may be just because I feel uncomfortable with people baring their souls, lol). I would actually go see this in theater again... that's saying a lot for me.

Joe wants to see Ninja Assassin. The boys want to see Ninja Assassin as well, but are far too young. Emma just likes going to the mall with me while they watch movies.

All I can say is that I'm excited to see hand drawn animation on the big screen again, so it's The Princess and the Frog for me. You know I'll be dragging Rey's ass to the theater on opening night, lol. I've already teared up over one of the spoilers.

I'm also looking forward to seeing Disney's Beauty and the Beast in 3D, but since it got pulled back from the February theatrical release it's a ways off yet.

[duck2k]

There is one that looks interesting to watch at our drive-in. I am kinda excited. The title I think was "Closed for Winter."

um duck ,how the hell can a stripjoint be closed for winter

Er . . . and I thought people were pissed that Prince Naveen isn't black.

I'm not one to deal with the racial card, I'm already in a mixed relationship and one of my old best friends was driven out of my hometown because of her color. More than anything, I'm just glad to see hand-drawn back and hope it will pave the way for more to come, whatever it takes.

And maybe more than anything, I miss the fun and innocence I held back when I first fell in love with the DAC's, even before they hit the "renaissance" back in the late 80's/early 90's. I love how movies have the power to take you back to that.

E, my dear i know u are an awesome person and if you ever get tired or need Ole Redskin to be scared out of his pants just call on me and my ISZ army
then again , those pearly whites you see sometimes when you wake up at midnight in side your closet aint supp to be seen

hey you know i meant that even in this day and age , disney aint gana have a white prince kiss a black chick , closest we ever came was pochahontes . and when they did do the princess angle , with brandy , they fucked it up again by making the guy a latino . in Froggy , they made him Creole an him be-in from dah ba-yoo make 'im french as well

tradition GOD i hope so, we need good art back in our entertainment system ,
im supprised no one even mentioned Astro-boy tho .
OH SHIT , thanks for reminding me DARK CRYSTAL the second half ... movies that recapture our child hood , you aint the only one tho as long as no one mentions Shreck POOPS forth , we should be ok

I can't put my finger on it, but something seems off-kilter to me about Astro-Boy. Maybe I'm fearing that they Americanized it way too much? Maybe the CGI isn't agreeing with me on this one? Or maybe he just looks weird with a shirt on.

As for Disney's tPatF, part of the plot involves

Spoiler

Tiana trying to hook up her best friend (who is white) with Naveen (who is not so white).

Nothing wrong with wanting to see some mixed relationships in my opinion. I'm just amazed how pissy certain communities are about Tiana not being "good enough" for a black prince, but I think Disney was hoping to get out of such accusations by giving him dark skin but no specified race (though many are indeed assuming Croatian), topped off with having him be from a fictional country. If I remember right, his voice actor is Brazilian? Regardless, I think the accent is sexy and the character seems to have a lot more personality than the average Disney prince.

Astro , it was an ok film unf i liked it enough to download it

and in the words of the yummeh Cap'n Jack, "apologeez" to the thread starter for my hijacking of it .

[JKR666]

Okay dude, now you're getting a tad more aggressive and I don't appreciate it. Please try to cool it. thanks in advance.


ps. Bruno Campos is the voice of Prince Naveen. Carlos Alazraqui voices Wandicimo (Juandissimo)

[enigmawing]

Er, to get this thread back on topic . . .

Astro Boy . . . Yeah, probably a rental for me later on when I'm in the mood; to be honest I haven't even bothered watching the Speed Racer live action movie yet (even though I've been semi-curious to see how they adapted an old-school anime into something modern). And as for old-school anime, I'm probably more of a Prince Planet fan anyway. Yay, violence.

I almost forgot about How to Train Your Dragon. I've heard the first test screening was disappointing and that the Dreamworks guys pushed back the release date out of being too nervous over the holiday competition, but I really like the character designs and I'm interested to see what Chris Sanders has been up to.

I'd almost forgotten about the new Alice in Wonderland. And even if Depp isn't playing Sparrow . . . well, it's still Depp, right? Rawr.

[note to Lib]: Flight of the Navigator is one of my all time favorite movies. You've heard they're doing a remake, right? Not so sure about that . . .

I've been a bit worried about Rapunzel ever since I learned that Glen Keane was taken off of his directorial debut, but at least he's still heavily involved with the project. And it's disappointing to learn that they're probably going the more typical/generic CG route as opposed to the painterly approach he initially wanted to go for. Then again, he was forced to make this CG to begin with. At least they're going for a more traditional fairy tale story instead of the irreverent parody Shrek wanna-be.

Speaking of Shrek 4-whatever it's called . . . meh. I enjoyed the first one a lot and absolutely loved the second one. But what happened to part three? It had some interesting concepts but was slow, boring, and even downright depressing. I'm not really looking forward to revisiting the franchise, but maybe they'll surprise me.

Wow, I didn't even realize they're remaking Clash of the Titans. There's a gritty and raw quality about the old Ray Harryhousen creatures that I really enjoy, but a slick CG update might be interesting.

Oh yeah, and I'm really looking forward to Toy Story 3. I've heard so many people freak out over Andy growing up along with them, lol. It looks like they'll be using a lot of abandoned concepts from the first two movies. It was pretty cool to watch the originals in 3D at the theater a few weeks back actually.

[jaganar]

well thats the reason i tossed in the Johnneh photo on page 2 and i have yet to even here a response to wat i said about u on page 2 ^__^ of this thread.

speed racer , really ? babe it was awesome , they didnt ruin the story (wonders if SR had a story at all) the didnt destroy the origin like they did our beloved 3 inch high blond, tink.

clash : look we all know u are dying to see sam with his shirt off in the flick. just dont let Johnneh find out .


Dragon : hmmmm , anyone here read "hearts blood" it was the same concept , classic book i heard about in CBS storytime (or what ever that cartoon was back in the 90's where they took kids books and made em 30 minute cartoons).

Shrek poops 4th : actually bottom line , no one cares , but 1 and 2 were amazing , apparently the reality of THE CHILD FACTOR in a film franchise = DEATH didnt get to the head honchos' .
gaddamn , now i cant remember what series they did children with , and i aint talking about Potc cus that dont count , it was essential to the story [[ after credits ]]

Star Trek (spock no kirk =] ) part 2
Golden compas part 2
Narnia 2 (the prince saga does not count , it was aweful , just aweful )
and the series of unfortunate events ...dude where are these sequels >__>

[enigmawing]

Epic bewbs? Oh my! And speaking of Depp yet again . . .

Yeah, I'm sure most of you know that Disney's working on another Pirates movie. Apparently Elizabeth and Will's part of the story is over and they're focusing on a new arc, which is just as well, the story got too muddy and complicated by the end there. Rumor has it though that they're gonna phase out Sparrow and introduce a new main character to continue the franchise; Depp has expressed a loss of interest in continuing the films due to Dick Cook's "resignment."

I do have a rip of Speed Racer around here somewhere; really I think the main thing was that I wasn't in the mood for sitting down to watch a movie for quite a while, been busy and preoccupied. I've even got a stack of DVD's I've bought this past year but have yet to unwrap!

Tink - the movie was a lot better than I thought it would be actually. Not awesome or anything, but cute at least. Definitely not the traffic accident I was expecting. I've heard the second one is a lot better, but haven't popped it in yet. I do sorta wish they went for the Fairy Egg book with that set of characters, even if that's still a different reality than Barrie's play or even Disney's own version of Peter Pan.

I think it was a lot more than just introducing the kids in Shrek the Third; I actually kinda liked Shrek being all weirded out at the prospect of being a dad. They could have done a much better job on Arthur and the whole college parody thing, and so much more with the fairy tale princesses. A lot of great voice talent there (I love the SNL ladies) but it felt like a total waste. Hell, they couldn't even make an interesting Merlin out of Eric Idle! Maybe the most disappointing part for me was that Prince Charming made for a weak villain on his own. The movie's so forgettable that I can't even remember the climax, and that's saying a lot seeing how much I love animated movies (even bad ones).

The CBS Storybook thing? I used to watch that (wow I feel old, lol) but don't remember that particular episode or the book. Ever see Flight of Dragons? Used to love that (yay, John Ritter), but dammit, still not on DVD (I tried taping that off TV back in the day but ran out of space). But anyway, I've always liked dragons and the concepts behind them.

And hey, what about 9? Has anyone seen it? I've been wanting to but haven't gotten around to it yet (will probably have to wait for DVD now). I thought the designs looked pretty cool but don't know much else about it.
