My girlfriend lent me the Scott Pilgrim books so NOW I'm avoiding trailers 'til I've read them.

I still think it's more of a "girl book" but it IS pretty good.

Agreed. I totally see why it's become labeled as the "oh, your girlfriend doesn't like comics? Just have her read this" comic. I do love it, though. It's made me laugh on multiple occasions.

I always joked that it was for girls. And it's not but it walks a fence with a lean to the girl side.

His other book, Life At Sea, was similar but definitely more of a girls' sort of thing.


Oh yeah.
I watched the Hitchhiker's movie with my girlfriend the other day. It was pretty good, but not nearly as funny as it should've been.

Yeah, it wasn't as subtle and intelligent as the books. Still funny, and still good, but it missed the mark on the BOOK'S type of humor. There's other things that seem off about it that I can't quite put my finger on, but at this point I just don't care.

It's also just weird for introducing the towel thing and then never talking about it. It's stuff like that what was weird.

But yeah I really liked it, despite everyone but Arthur and Marvin being American(ized) and having that gun maguffin.

Random side comment.

It's funny read Scott Pilgrim, sometimes they use real names like Yonge Street, IGA, Licks Burger, and stuff that's pretty Canadian, and then every once in a while you get something like "Wander Bread" showing up.

'Sfunny to me.

Also, I have Scott's CBC shirt.

It looks good and #####, it's The Karate Kid. If someone expects a big twist or something they're an idiot. I may be drunk but that doesn't mean they're not a ree.

Also Channing Tatum is a weirdass.

Splice was soooooo bad. The music was annoying, the spliced person thing was stupid and annoying, and the characters constantly made illogical decisions.

Also, anybody who has taken a college level bio course will just want to punch all of those "scientists" in the face.

I just saw your status on Facebook. My god, you really are pissed about this. This isn't even a movie that LOOKED good and offers the anger of disappointment. This movie looked lame from the get-go, predictably ended up being terrible, and was somehow still bad enough to piss you off this much.

I approve of this movie!

Toy Story 3.

TOPS.

Better than the first two combined.

What language doez Buzz speak in the English version when he turns into a spanish-y flamingo dancer? He spoke spanish with a spanish accent on the spanish version. And it was hilarious.

Interesting how they handled that. The movie's in Spanish, just make him MORE spanish!

I picked up an absolute #####-ton of movies during the final days of the two Movie Gallery video rental stores in my area. Normally I'd just list everything, but that would make this post ridiculously long, so I'm going to attach a file.

I'm assuming they thought of the title first and then worked backwards. (I'm mildly disappointed it's not a crazy-premised B-movie.)

No, not perfect. It was very enjoyable.

The way I understood it,

"Perfect" is always a bad word to use and I should know that by now, but you know what I mean when I say it. Essentially I'm saying "I seriously loved this movie so goddamn much."

This was a quality piece of a filmmaking, and the reasons you just listed off as criteria against its quality are nothing more than just personal preferences or misunderstandings you've had with the movie. For every question I've had about the plot, some time thinking or discussing has resolved the problems.

[spoiler]I don't quite understand what you're saying about Ariadne jumping being applicable to everyone else - that's not the case. Maybe if you explain what you're talking about a little more I could try to figure out the answer.

As for the issue with Fisher recognizing Cobb: they actually address this in the movie. When Cobb is passing by everyone at the end through luggage claim, Fisher notices him and makes an expression that implies he recognizes him from somewhere other than just the airplane. It's a nice little moment which is NOT meant to insinuate that the inception didn't work, but instead just a thing someone in Fisher's position WOULD probably do. He'd think, "Hey, that guy was in my dream..." but he probably wouldn't take it any further than that.
As for the problem with Fisher realizing what he thought was reality in the dream (on the shore near the bridge) was not actually reality (once he woke up in the airplane) - don't be nitpicky. Obviously when he wakes up he realizes that it was still part of a dream, but none of that matters since the idea was planted and who cares what the hell he was dreaming. It doesn't retroactively destroy anything because he won't figure out exactly what happened. It's just a dream to him. He doesn't know that the dream specifically changed his thought-process.[spoiler]

Anyway, I just really enjoyed this movie. I already know it's one of my favorites. I've always been a fan of Nolan's - Memento is absolutely fantastic, I love The Prestige, and obviously I like his Batman movies even if I don't like them as much as everyone else - and this is a movie of his that really meshed with me moreso than his others.

Hope it does well in the box office.

Logic isn't a personal preference...


When a movie is high quality the ONLY mistakes are nitpicky, anyway. If I said it was bad that would be entirely personal preference, because there's not much really wrong with the movie. It kept my interest. It was oppressive, kind of, with the length of the action and the timed events, but I still really liked it. I'd buy it.

I'll give you that there's a lot of things that don't seem obvious at first and still a ton of things I haven't figured out, but I do trust the movie that everything makes sense. It always felt one step ahead of the viewer and I'm going to trust it. However, yeah, there's a bunch of parts that feel like plot holes so you're right.

Anyway, to answer your questions about limbo:

Excuse me for I've been away for a while, but I did see Inception.

Inception. Perfect. New Top 5 favorite movie.

DITTO.

I went in the theatre with Annie and others not knowing what I was walking into. She said I'd like it and at the beginning, with all the shooting and stealthness going around, I was into it.

Then my eyes were completely glued to that screen. I was SOOOO INTO IT.


Oh, and that theatre was packed, so I was instantly given an impression that this movie was going to be good. I was wrong. IT WAS INCREDIBLY AWESOME.
