Lego Movie. All I can say is: Everything is awesome!
Oh crap, is that out now? Iām gonna have to watch that.
Iām planning on watching it in about 16 hours (I guess I should get some sleep time in before then).
The Lego Movie, and in 3D too.
It was quite frankly perfect. Exactly what I expected out of it. I think the part with [[color=ā#171717ā]the kid and his dad] wasnāt strictly necessary, but it was executed very, very well.
Also, there was a distinct lack of Bionicle in this movie, at least as far as I noticed. I wonder how much stuff they hid in the background of all those shots.
Edit: They did in fact hide some Bionicle in there. Furthermore, if they make a set of Bennyās spaceship, I will immediately buy it.
EVERYONE needs to watch āThe LEGO Movie.ā Seriously. Best movie Iāve seen in a long time.
Oh, that sounds awesome. I guess it was written/produced by the videogame guys?
Anyway, saw Gravity yesterday. One of the finest movies Iāve ever seen.
You mean the guys who made the LEGO Star Wars games and all the other ones? I donāt think so. Itās made by a different studio, but they did a really good job with it.
Where the LEGO games contort all the minifigures to give them a full range of motion, The LEGO Movie mostly limited them to the realistic, extremely limited range of motion they have in real life.
The movie did such a good job with the CGI that itās almost indistinguishable from actual stop-motion; they even used virtual stedicam rigs to make the camera feel right. Supposedly there were a few bits of actual stop-motion mixed in, but Iāll be damned if I can tell where.
And the visuals are just part of the what makes the movie good; itās also got solid writing and some very funny humor. They did a great job of using the huge number of IPs LEGO has licensed; at one point Morgan Freemanās character mistakes Gandalf for Dumbledore. Batman steals a hyperdrive from the Millenium Falcon. You have to watch this movie.
You and your goddamn spoilers.
Canāt contain yourself?
In all seriousness, none of those are really spoilers. The only thing Iād actually worry about spoiling is whatās revealed in the 3rd act.
Iāll probably watch the Lego movie over the weekend, I havenāt seen a movie in awhile anyway and it looks great :3
And speaking of me not seeing movies in awhile, for some strange and inexplicable reason, I have yet to see Gravity yet. Maybe it was because I thought it was better to see it in 3D, and I need prescription glasses, which makes me shy away from 3D movies, and so on. Meh, its not really a excuse. I havent actually gone to a 3D movie in years anyway :S
im watching the passion of the christ for some reason. its weird
I saw that in the theaters. There were parents there with their 5- and 6-year old sons and daughters to watch that movie.
thats kidna fucked. i rewatched jesus christ superstar after which unlike the passion is rad and not at all an insane anti Semitic exploitation movie. makes an interesting double feature
My mind is clearer now.
At last, all too well, I can see
where we all soon will be.
Man Of Tai Chi is one of the few martial arts movies I have enjoyed over the past five years. Keanu as a villain worked quite well, the action was (mostly) grounded in reality, and the moral was worth learning (donāt be an asshole). Well done on your directorial whay-cha-ma-thingie there Keanu.
debut.*
I knew the word, I just forgot to look up if it was his first directorial effort or not (itās the only movie he has directed).
Saw 12 years A Slave and then the Lego Movie the next day.
Itās sad when a movie about moving toys engages more than the story about black people being tortured and used 24/7.
Anyone seen the new RoboCop yet?
