lumpenprol Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I like Spike Jones for his videos and strangely, for his acting. Thought he was pretty good in 3 Kings (despite it being a really cliche role). I wasn't so keen on Being John Malkovich, though.

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work! So i hope this woman is not like kfc chicken, otherwise she'll be pulled to pieces. -organized confused project Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/49861-where-the-wild-things-are/page/3/#findComment-1147519 Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 i will allow myself to be contrarian here but genuinely express that i never liked Miyazake, i've only seen Princess Mononoke but i found it pretty bland, and forgettable. the best 'kids' movie i've seen in the last 8 years was probably The Last Mimzy , movie is seriously underppreciated Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/49861-where-the-wild-things-are/page/3/#findComment-1147695 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totoro is wonderful, especially for younger children, but doesn't hold my interest well on repeated viewings. There are basically just a few "classic scenes" with long pauses between them. I love watching Totoro with people who haven't seen it yet, but by myself I prefer his meatier, more adult offerings. Looking forward to watching Mononoke kick some ass and giant pigs vomiting bloodworms tonight. As far as I'm concerned Miyazake deserved a Nobel for environmentalism (certainly more than Al Gore). His movies could turn even the most hard-hearted industrialist into a tree-hugger...

Candiru Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I honestly thought it was pretty bad. Basically the theme of the movie is that one day, your childhood will be over, life isn't fair, people are assholes because of this, and you will be disappointed. That's fine, but it was just so godawfully fucking boring. It's pretty much impossible to care about any of the characters, since they are barely sketched out to begin with. There are also a few attempts at that Wes Anderson style barely-there humor that are really awkward. I had a tough time remembering anything about it about 30 seconds after leaving the theater. I mean it's only 90 minutes, but it's a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG 90 minutes.

goffer Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) I watched this tonight... was a little let down... at least right now. The characters where my main area of concern... no development, very ho hum but got me to thinking that they are characters we should all already know, so perhaps they didnt need much more development. Emotions where everywhere... sprinkled like little splats of love and hate.... but I guess that's who kids are. I don't like kids and this film reminded me exactly of what kids are, at least emotionally... so I say Jonze did a good job, I think. I don't know about this new hand-held, shaky-cam fetish Jonze has attired himself in as of late but I guess it suits the rambunctious milieu... I'm just confused right now... maybe I should sleep on it.

Atop Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I think it is beautiful.... from start to finish.... I especially love the look and feel of everything that happens on the Wild Thing's island... The facial expressions (the things themselves) are creepy and beautiful.... struck some sort of archetypal chord in myself.... probably the Jim Henson note... The story is not meant to stand out or are any of the characters supposed to develop except for Max... and all you need to know is: Max is from the western hemisphere, imaginative and a nine year old boy... the film is primordial and flowing... Mirezzi, you will make a film one day we will all see and love as well, although I am pretty sure it will be nothing like Spikey J or Wes or PT's "horrible" films.... You need to send the shorts into some Austin film festivals (if you haven't yet), the fests seem to be going all of the time... Saw a film at the Austin Film Festival last night and it was horrible...(a film produced and acted in by Matthew Modine and here I thought he was dead or retired) feature length as well, would've walked out on it but the film makers were there..... Your work would rule these audiences' worlds in this town, hopefully many towns... GET ON IT!
