Posted 20 Jun 2014 Hi Specever. What's going on with you these days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 20 Jun 2014 So I saw TFiOS yesterday and it was so much better than the book I feel. Which is rare to say, but I didn't feel the emotion in the book. The whole thing seemed more awkward than cute, which makes sense, but it never got any less awkward. The movie did a good job of both. The Book Thief seemed pretty manipulative according to the trailer. I felt like the trailer was trying to make me cry. Nazis and Jews, a little girl learning how to read? Or like teaching a grown man how to read ? Also there's a dog I think? I feel like it was packed with those joyful yet somber triumphant moments that tend to make people cry I've heard it's sad, but I've also heard that the first chapter or two is really boring so hopefully I can press through it.

Posted 21 Jun 2014 Saw HTTYD 2 and cried big time. A+ sequel. Going to see it again on Sunday (with different friends who think I haven't seen it so whoops I'm gonna try to act surprised, pfft). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 21 Jun 2014 I haven't even seen the first one yet. I'm very far behind. I still want to see Wall-E, Tangled, and Frozen. Though I've heard Frozen is just awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 21 Jun 2014 Huh. Not sure if thats sarcasm or not. Frozen's pretty popular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 21 Jun 2014 (edited) It's popular so there's probably a big backlash from people who are against it for no other reason Edited 21 Jun 2014 by L.L. Bean's Menswear (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 21 Jun 2014 Yeah, thats what I figured, but I couldn't tell if this was a case of sarcasm or backlash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 21 Jun 2014 Definitely backlash. It's the highest grossing animated movie of all time and the 5th highest grossing movie of all time. Of course people are going to hate it, because they're seeing it everywhere. If you've been on Facebook in the last 3 months or so, you've probably seen more "Let It Go" renditions than you could ever want to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 21 Jun 2014 Also, at least on Tumblr, ive seen a lot of Frozan hate because its "the ubisoft of movies" (or rather, the other way around, but w/e) I understand what they mean when they say that but ugh i dont care anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 22 Jun 2014 It was super great guys also very unexpectedly dark in the middle there for a kids' movie, but holy shit, most beautiful movie I've seen in a while Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 22 Jun 2014 Huh. Not sure if thats sarcasm or not. Frozen's pretty popular. It wasn't sarcasm, nor was it backlash. I've heard mixed things about it. Like one of my friends says that it's amazing and the other said it was crap and those are the only opinions I've heard about it because I tried to avoid anything Frozen to prevent spoiling myself.
