Happenstance Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Tangled Got to say, thats probably the best looking animated movie I have ever seen, really gorgeous. Very funny in places too. It also had a nice nostalgic feel to it, with a style more like the old Disney movies. I could probably have done without most of the songs but thats just me.
Ashley Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 (I thought this was supposed to be a thread to discuss movies, not the 'rate the last film you saw' thread in disguise ) Anyone else think this is a thoroughly shit poster? Until I saw it up close I assumed they were clinking glasses because the background woman is just so badly placed. Unless they're trying to suggest Aniston and Sandler DP fist her it reads really badly.
Happenstance Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 ......Do you see a rating anywhere in my post?
Ashley Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 It was in reference to several posts by different people. And I said 'rate' in disguise. And its probably been happening since the start but I seldom check. And I put it in parenthesis because it was a side point of normal personness, not an adminy finger wagging. It's all good : peace: Except the Just Go With It poster. That's shit.
Happenstance Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Well to be fair it was always going to happen. This thread was made because people missed the rate the last film thread. ....and im sorry but not enough movie posters have fist bumps
Ashley Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Yeah I know :p But its a really badly done fist bump. The silhouettes are completely out of whack! (random aside someone at uni referred to a fist bump as a 'spud' the other day. Told her to GTFO)
Happenstance Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I think the problem is that the guy putting the poster together was directed to hide the fact that the woman in the background has no knees. I think they did a very good job under very difficult circumstances and we should possibly start a collection to buy this woman some bionic knees.
Ashley Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I don't think anyone would have been looking at her knees.
Happenstance Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Thats a bit insensitive, we have no idea whats wrong with this poor girls knees! They could be hideous, deformed, possibly nothing there at all. .......I just......I cant talk right now, you have upset me
Paj! Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I always thought they were clinking glasses too, but then I never actively looked at the poster for more than 2 seconds until just now. I saw Bride Wars tonight. Though it inspired me/ I had a sliver of an idea for a short film because of it.
Daft Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 Saw, Nothing amazing but kind of enjoyable. I fucking love Emily Blunt. Yes. Yes.

Cube Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I saw Saving Private Ryan for the first time last night. It's a brilliant film. It also looked amazing on Blu-Ray: Thanks to the setting and effects it doesn't look like it was released 13 years ago - goes to show that proper effects, extras, etc can help make a film timeless. I don't know why it took me so long to see it, but if anyone else here hasn't seen it then go buy/rent the Blu-Ray right now. Oh, and:

(The image title seems to suggest so.)
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Yeah, he played Private Ryan Wow, I never realised that ... quite an incredible feat, actually.
Dan_Dare Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Correction: He plays the wrong Private Ryan who they find mid way through the film. The titular Ryan is Matt Damon.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Correction: He plays the wrong Private Ryan who they find mid way through the film. The titular Ryan is Matt Damon. Man, it's been too long since I've seen that film ...
Happenstance Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Correction: He plays the wrong Private Ryan who they find mid way through the film. The titular Ryan is Matt Damon. Not really a correction, he still played Private Ryan :p
nightwolf Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Bah it's far too easy to rate a film when your discussing it. Anyway, each wednesday I've been to the cinema whilst in Cambridge as they have two for one orange wednesday - woo! Watched so far pirates 4, x-men and kung fu panda. Kung fu panda was pretty good, the visuals were very pretty! I was also pretty amused, although each film I've seen at this cinema has had annoying people laughing ridiculously loudly or kids not knowing when to shut the fuck up. I'm hoping cineworld next week will be better as I think I'm off to see bad teacher..I'm not really fussed about seeing it, but my friend seems to think it'll be good.
Dan_Dare Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Not really a correction, he still played Private Ryan :p ok, clarification then.
EddieColeslaw Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Behind the Scenes: some neat photos on set of a few major movies, back before everything was computerised to hell and back! The Star Wars opening was filmed like this!:
Frank Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 In celebration of my long, long Leaving Cert exams finishing I treated myself to a movie I would recommend anyone to watch "The Trouble With Harry" by Alfred Hitchcock if they haven't already! Pleasantly surprised, fantastic black humor and morbid themes. The 4 main characters made me crave. They're just the kind of people you want to hand around with...maybe in my dreams...
Paj! Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 I saw Life In A Day today. It was great. People saying how The Social Network was such a modern film in terms of being an illustration of 'where we are' or whatever, should really watch this. Composed and edited entirely from footage people around the world, all walks of life, filmed on 24th July last year. Sounds like a recipe for disaster but ended being great, and incredibly moving too. An essential view of the year for me - if you have any vested interest in film as a medium. Nothing like it has been made so far, but perhaps it's a sign of how feature films could end up in the years to come..?
