Pogue -
Kid nation, my mother in law came over today and was talking about that so much, my sister watched it too and thought it was horrible (but still watched) I hope to remember to watch it next week, sounds interesting.

Shrek!:eek: What's wrong with Shrek?

I'm with you on VeggieTales, but hate Shrek? How could you!:p

[JungleWoman]

Ok this might sound weird-- but my husband and I are CG snobs. * computer graphic* My husband even more than me since he's the the one going to school to work in CG.

The overexaggeration of the lips on the characters when they say their M's P's F's W's and B's make me absolutely insane. And it NEVER got better in the subsequent ones! Thats something Pixar mastered after Toy Story 1! * which was the first CG movie ever*

And the other thing that bothers me is that stupid smashmouth song at the beginning of the first one.... ugh...

But no, not a shrek lover.

[milivica]

Hey, JW - I left part (1/4 inch) of my right ring finger in in a Kroger Deli! Gotta love those meat slicers....

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Wow now that would have been an interesting sandwich, little extra protein in there. Geez, 1/4", that's not minor.

[tgrimes]

The overexaggeration of the lips on the characters when they say their M's P's F's W's and B's make me absolutely insane. And it NEVER got better in the subsequent ones! Thats something Pixar mastered after Toy Story 1! * which was the first CG movie ever*

.

LOL ... How did you guys even notice that?
When i read this I thought at first you were saying the lips were exaggerated, and it reminded me of a boyfriend my daughter had, the kids used to call him shrek because he looked kind of like him, but especiallty the lips.

[tgrimes]

Just wondering if anyone had any favorite movie scenes they would watch over again, that I like to do. Some of my fav's are:
Jumanji - the part where robin williams says 'jumanji' and the guy with with the rifle goes "erh?"
Shrek - I don't know which one, but where they go to meet the parents and the music is 'funky town' and shrek is looking overwhelmed.
Fun with dick and Jane - the part where they hooked the 'bad guy' up to the dog bark zap-collar and he went to yell for help

[peglem]

In Little Miss Sunshine, I love the Super Freak scene. But, the one Allie watches over and over is at the beginning of the trip, when Alan Arkin is giving "women advice" to the teenage boy. For some reason, she thinks its hilarious!

[tgrimes]

Oh, that's one I want to watch. I'm lucky to have great access to movies, hubby works at blockbuster. Now, he watches a LOT of movies.

[milivica]

Little Miss Sunshine was awesome - I could watch the scene in the beginning over and over, where the grandpa flips out about having f-ing chicken again. OMG that was great.

Jumanji is awesome, we just watched it last weekend.

FOR SURE I could and did, watch over and over and over...the 'out takes' or what ever they're called, at the end of Toy Story, Bugs Life - I forget the third one. You know, after the movie where they show the animated character's making mistakes while filming, hysterical.

[peglem]

Oh, oh, oh! Princess Bride, the sword fight between Inigo and the guy who killed his dad. "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!" When I taught 6th grade, we did a class read aloud of that book. On the last day of school we watched the movie. For the rest of the day, my students were repeating that line over and over to each other!

[tgrimes]

Is that a japanese story?

[peglem]

Uh, no not Japanese at all. If you've never seen the movie-you should. I think it has your kind of subtle humor in it. I'd recommend the book, but its looooooong! The movie is so good though! Andre the Giant plays the strongest man in the world. The lead female role is that actress that played Forest Gump's "girlfriend." Its one of my all time favorite movies, but I haven't watched it in a long time (I'm gonna watch it again soon though.)

Speaking of Forest Gump...the book is hilarious and different from the movie in a lot of ways. I've read it several times(and I hardly ever do that with books) and I laugh out loud and have to, just have to stop and share parts with whoever is in the room.

[milivica]

Current favorite scene, favorite line, from a movie...Butterfly Effect, when the dad tells his boy he can't fix anything that's gone wrong and the boy confidently says, "I'll send ya a post card when I get everything fixed" or some similar line. I sort of 'feel' that line all the time when remember the long line of doctors and therapists and teachers that were so lousy, and predicted such doom "He'll send you a post card when he gets his life back", that type of sentiment.

Forrest Gump is awesome, though fictional, his mom is a huuuuge hero of mine. Not only for 'doing' that sleezy principal to get her kid in school (holy cow) but cause Forrest Gump had self love, when he grew up, despite all that other kids did to him and so on, he was 'whole'. That was cause of how she raised him.

[tgrimes]

Oh, yeah, that was a cool movie. If you liked that you might like Donnie Darko.

[milivica]

Man I just felt like Butterfly Effect was incredible - as was looking at Ashton Kutcher, hee hee.

HEY it just dawned on me why I'm so hooked on that movie, I love all movies where you could put yourself in a predictable circumstance, duh Mili, being aspie of course I would. I would love to 'live' in Pleasantville (well Mayberry in my case cause I've watched all the shows). Groundhog Day, I can't tell you how awesome it would be, for every day to start the same, and even better, to have a fresh start the next day. OMG. Dream come true. I'm gonna start drooling.

I looked up the movie you said:
Donnie is a bright and charming high school student with a dark and willfully eccentric side. He is also visited on occasion by Frank, a monstrous six-foot rabbit that only Donnie can see. Late one night Frank informs Donnie that the world will come to an end in less than a month; when the engine of a jet aircraft crashes through the ceiling of Donnie's room, he thinks there might be something to Frank's prophesies after all. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide. 1 disc. Stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, Mary McDonnell, Holmes Osborne, Maggie Gyllenhaal. Directed by Richard Kelly. Run time 122 minutes. Rated R.

Hmmm, since I'm actually afraid of rabbits I might enjoy that, sounds creepy and funny. Totally not a movie I'd want to live in though, like Pleasantville or Groundhog Day.

[tgrimes]

Oh, yeah groundhog day was great. I love where he got to the point where he was having fun doing whatever he wanted and robbed the armored truck.

[milivica]

How bout when he caught that kid falling out of the tree, "Say thank you! I save you every day and you've never thanked me." Or when he kind of lost it, scared the crap out of those drunk guys driving on the train tracks, or when he lost it and let the ground hog drive.....OMG or when he was so disgusted and when he went to report the ground hog event on tv (for the 15th time) he was all, "so this is the day everyone comes to watch a giant rat get ripped out of a hole" with such frustration, baaawawwaaa.

Anything starring John Wayne
Anything starring John Revolta
I am Curious (Yellow)
Calligula

I've enjoyed reading about other people. Good thread!

[milivica]

John Revolta :rolleyes: ha.

If a movie has Pauly Shore I won't even try to watch it. Dh and I went to a movie of his like 12 or 13 years ago, it was so horrible, we still groan 'ugh' when we see him on tv.

We all forgot to mention Shawn of the Dead! C'mon, that's excellent yes? Totally stupid mindless enjoyable flick, love it. Bashing zombies to Queen sound tracks, hee hee.

Army of Darkness was great!

Welcome to the Dollhouse, oh man, love it. Hard to watch some of it, emotional.

Raising Arizona I watched a million times and can't explain why, something about that screeeeam when he racks his knuckles on his stucco ceiling during that fight.

Same thing with Big Lebowski, love it, never understood the thing with the kid's school paper until a couple of months ago - I had no idea what the grade or corrections had to do with anything. Duh.

I still have no clue what the end of Pleasantville or The Shining means, grrrr.

Never did like Little Shop of Horrors or Rocky Horror Picture Show, dunno why. Maybe I would now.

[RathyKay]

[LauraP]

:rolleyes: AMen to never watching the English Patient again. What a complete snoozefest of a movie, and why on Earth would they move a burn patient on a camel. Ugh--the pain would probably kill him, plus the sand in all those exposed areas, urgh. That probably ought to go into the What Grosses You Out thread:eek:

Groundhog Day is a fantastic film.

Also, The Night We Never Met, which nobody but me has watched (I love it). The main character (Matthew Broderick) is a frustrated chef working in a gourmet deli (a famous one, in NYC--can't remember the name right now), and selling specialty foods. Some guy orders Montrachet, and he calls it "heart-attack cheese". There's also a hysterical scene with a blind date, he cooks this wonderful meal for her, and all she keeps saying is "It doesn't combine" Probably only funny to me.

"Tank Girl" is my personal "Ishtar" (which my DH loves, by the way). I love Ice Cube in a mutant kangaroo costume, I love the weird music and intercut comic-book frames, and the lines are delivered in this great deadpan. "What kind of game are you playing?" (this is the villain), "Monopoloy, but I get to be the shoe" (heroine). Another "you had to be there" moment. It probably won't be funny if I ever see it again.:rolleyes:
