The Bard Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 God I didn't like this. I tried, but it was so fucking vacuous. And Michael Cera... not a pussy so much as a tunnel full of dicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I thought this movie was awesome. It succeeded as a sum of lots of little awesome parts, rather than as a whole (in which I found that both the characters of Scott and Ramona were totally underdeveloped, and you couldn't see what Ramona had going for her at all (apart from the whole smokin' hot thing)), but that was perfectly fine and made for some seriously enjoyable watchin'. I kept finding myself being the only person in the cinema laughing though How did nobody else laugh at: Stacey: Did you really see a future with Ramona? Scott: Like, with jet packs?

Guy Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 It's the delivery of the line. Mostly nobody knows what Scott says there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergrunch Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Well I read the first two volumes, they were fun. Best bit so far: "Those shoes are Mr. Silly's shoes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I just read all 6 volumes. Brilliant stuff- Quite how the balance is maintained from the insane humour, the kung-fu antics and genuinely moving, poignant and deep character development must be some kind of voodoo science unto itself. It was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Saw the movie today, really enjoyed it, which is odd for a Michael Cera movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 That's a bit of a sweeping generalisation. How can you not like a whole medium, especially one as diverse as comics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goafer Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 He's said he likes one and is asking if people think he would like this one. I'd hardly call that writing all comics off.

Supergrunch Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 In answer to the question, I'd say they're more akin to manga than comics. But either way, they're pretty readable whoever you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Yeah, definitely more manga/anime/ish than comic bookish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Dare Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 tbh, if you've only read The Very Hungry Caterpillar, you're probably alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Over reaction to flameboy's post by the comic book elite. He only said he wasn't a fan of comics and preferred proper books, which is a fair enough thing to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) I am far from being comic book elite, I only own a few trades and subscribe to no comic books. I don't speak in defence of comics, but rather I'd love for people who skip them to give it a try. I feel similarly about many things, for example, it's a shame that mostly everyone I know IRL will never watch any anime. They'll consider it cartoons, and go their whole life without watching it. Parents who think video games are for kids are missing out on some epic and entertaining tales. They will never experience a Zelda or a Final Fantasy.

flameboy Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 That's a bit of a sweeping generalisation. How can you not like a whole medium, especially one as diverse as comics? From my experience of reading them its just not something I've ever got into. Theres plenty of comic book art styles I love and have seen tons of pics of characters etc... that I've really liked. Also I love super heroes stuff yet more through cartoons, games and films (also even novels to be fair got an awesome superman novel somewhere!) I don't know what it is about them but I just don't find them compelling to read. I don't find the dialogue as fixating as a novel or as dramatic as good deliverance either filmed or on stage. Something about comics just doesn't resonate with me. He's said he likes one and is asking if people think he would like this one. I'd hardly call that writing all comics off. Not being a fan of something and writing something off completely are quite different surely? Yeah I never said I hated comics. I'm not a fan of books, give me a film anytime. The only books I've read are Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. You see how silly this sounds? That's where your attempt at humour and making me seem silly falls flat. I never said I'd ever read one comic! I said I the only ones I own are Robocop VS Terminator! Over reaction to flameboy's post by the comic book elite. He only said he wasn't a fan of comics and preferred proper books, which is a fair enough thing to say. Exactly...so much for people saying yeah give them a go they are worth a read....Rather oooooohhh lets pounce on someone who says he hasn't read many comics. Rez's comment was helpful claiming its closer to manga/anime something I've watched a lot of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
