just watched 'The Road'

[ballroomdancer22]

not as good as the book, but i guess i saw it coming.

[psycobetabuckdown]

is this where we discuss movies we've recently seen that didn't measure up to the book?

I just saw Fantastic Mr. Fox yesterday but I don't remember the book and I sort of liked the movie.

[ballroomdancer22]

yes, yes it is.....they need to get started on blood meridian seeing as how hollywood is on cormac mcarthy's nuts after 'no country'

[psycobetabuckdown]

I missed out on Where the Wild Things Are, was that any good?

also I think I have a copy of "The Road" somewhere. I gotta find it.

[amyzzz]

Where the Wild Things Are was excellent.

[psycobetabuckdown]

I was surprised yesterday to find it wasn't in theaters anymore. There's fucking nothing good out right now.

Fantastic Mr. Fox > Where the Wild Things Are

I am excited for the road however. I read the book and it was excellent.

also this thread does not need to exist.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

all of these movies are being discussed in full detail currently in the movie thread

[menikmati]

I'm so glad to hear about how you just watched the Road...

[psychic friend]

me too. my life is almost complete now.

[ballroomdancer22]

sweet, glad i could help

[bug on your lip]

if i was a book i'd be better than myself

[ballroomdancer22]

true

[Shredder]

if i was a book i'd be better than myself

so, if they were to adapt you into a feature film would you discuss this in movie corner thread?

[bug on your lip]

no, i'd start my own thread and say i guess i knew that i'd be better than myself & i always saw it coming

[ballroomdancer22]

this sounds like another charlie kaufman/michel gondry collaboration waiting to happen

[ArcadeParade]

I saw Precious and thought it was good. How was it compared to the book?

[bug on your lip]

not as good..


saw that coming a mile away

Wouldn't be getting half the attention it's receiving were it not for Oprah's name being all over it. And Tyler Perry, from myself, PT Anderson to you, please lock yourself up for a very, very long time and contemplate how unfunny you truly are.

[ballroomdancer22]

PT is just upset 'there will be blood' didn't get endorsements from oprah or the genious who has brought us the "Madea's" franchise.....choose your dick sucking wisely PT

[paulthomasanderson]

Tyler Perry fanboy above.

[ballroomdancer22]

House of Payne is quality television....and no need to be bitter PT, you got your accolades in '08

[paulthomasanderson]

Funnier than Jay Leno's program. I'll give you that.

[ballroomdancer22]

it's hard to be sarcastic on a message board, i have never once watched an episode of what i assume is a horrid show....i bet Barack Obama will give his stamp of approval for "Precious" next....

[paulthomasanderson]

George Lopez has a late night talk show now. That's sarcastic.

[psycobetabuckdown]

i like your brother wes better

[paulthomasanderson]

2 good films only.

Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Life Aquatic?

[Still-ill]

I guarantee he says Tenenbaums and Rushmore, like everyone else.

[paulthomasanderson]

Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Life Aquatic?

Fox was wonderful. Aquatic would've been shit had it not been for the soundtrack supporting it...namely the inclusion of Sigur Ros. Tenenbaums is the other. What's a Rushmore?
