Conversely, all of Little Shop of Horror's songs with the plant (other than "Grow for Me," I guess) were shot at between 1/2 and 1/4 speed, so the animation team could manipulate Audrey II's mouth competently, since it would be impossible in real-time. Rick Moranis was a trooper learning to sing to a puppet at half-speed.

I wish Rick Moranis was still acting.

Grave Encounters 2 is considerably better than the original.

I feel like you saying it's a good movie has validated my enjoyment of Grave Encounters 2. I thought it was a pretty great movie.

I don't like ghost hunting crap, but am more than willing to watch an FF movie where everyone is some kind of asswipe. See: BONESTORM, Toad Road, etc.

There should be a 300 hour youtube version of BONESTORM just looping.

Is the first Mad Max really essential or can I just skip to The Road Warrior without missing anything :v:

No, but yes.

It's not essential viewing, you won't miss much as The Road Warrior does a very brief recap of why Max is Mad. However, Mad Max is a good movie and has my favorite villain of the series, Toecutter.

Yeah, I keep hearing it's got the best villain of the series so I guess I'll just stick with it even if it's kinda underwhelming right now. I guess when I thought of Mad Max I associated it with the post-apocalyptic fullblown chaos of the second one and didn't realize the first was just about like, biker gangs.
There does seem to be a consensus about skipping the third one at least.

Each film progresses further into the post-apocalypse. The first basically takes place as civilization collapses, its set during the apocalypse.

I don't know if you haven't checked out the Mad Max thread I recommend it for some further reading about the series if you're interested in the topic after you watch the movies.

Also, don't skip Thunderdome. Maybe fast forward through bits of it, but Bartertown and the action sequences are all worth a watch. Suggested moment to fast forward through: the kids

Speaking of Wacky Meta, I just watched Guardians of the Galaxy and hooooooooo boy.
I want to rewatch it and count how many times the characters get to whedon out. Rocket probably being the worst offender, every other comment is "oh wait... ok, now we're all standing, ok, standing around in a circle, we're on the same page..." just smarmy audience-winking of "Hey look, everyone, look at how ironically detached he is, isn't this loving great" that made me dump a Buffy fan in 9th grade and sure as hell hasn't gotten any easier to listen to.

Is "whedon out" a real term people use to describe meta dialogue? GotG was written by James Gunn and Nicole Perlman. I think "Gunning out" sounds cooler.

A lot of people start reading those threads prior to a film's release and enjoy talking about the marketing, pre-production stuff, other movies in the franchise (if applicable), etc. If the thread has enough momentum the conversations sometimes go into other movies and how they relate to the one the thread is about or some other tangents. Then when the movie comes out some people still want to talk about some of those previously mentioned aspects, but not so much the actual movie's contents due to not having time to see it.

I think spoilers for the first week or two is a fair expectation for those readers, but I don't really mind it one way or the other. I enjoy reading spoilers for some movies prior to seeing them, it helps get me out of the mind set of guessing what's coming next and into the mind set of observing what's actually happening.

Spoiler tags are a basic courtesy, but blacking out half of every sentence across two to three paragraphs is moronic and what really creates that CIA document feel. There's no good reason to make people click to reveal more than once per post, it's just more work for both the writer and the reader.

I agree with this sentiment on spoilers. I've seen posts where a word or two per sentence are spoiler tagged, just spoiler tag the whole paragraph.

I guess I'm overreacting. I do really like Dwayne Johnson, and he does have a good sense of humor. And I mean, the worst case scenario is like, we get to see The Rock fight like a 100 ninjas, and when that's your worst case scenario...

I just keep picturing him playing the character he played in Pain and Gain and so far it works perfectly in my head.

The problem is that most would-be female power fantasy movies are made by men and end up... questionable at best. See: Sucker Punch.

Is it CineD consensus that it's brilliant satire by Snyder? I like most of Snyder's movies, but found this one questionable as well.

edit:
I'm not sure I'd count Under the Skin as a female power fantasy.

Good lord how do you open them, with your teeth?

Actually I take that back I've opened DVD and CD cases' tape with my teeth in a pinch. Never in my life tore up the cover.

The sticker part would, without fail, somehow get between the plastic cover, onto the art sheet, and tear a chunk (it wasn't always a huge chunk or the whole picture, but just enough to bother me) of the cover art with it.

And I had used my teeth before, also my nails, keys, a knife, etc.

It was such a relief when my first order of Criterion Blu-Rays came in and didn't have those drat stickers.

The third movie would be the length of a robot chicken sketch as the monster awakens, crucified, with homemade ballista aimed at it. The movie would not be very long.

Set in the future, the farmers kid's having forgotten the importance of protecting and murdering a gargoyle. Then you have him become like, a cyborg or something. The climax will be the leading man riding Jeepers through space as Earth's gravity pulls them both in and disintegrates them both.

First artist was the one I was looking for, but I'm excited to check out the others. I watched a few of his movies this weekend and was way into everything in them, but the sound had me in a strong way.

It's a pretty sweet soundtrack! I'm a big fan of Koji's found footage stuff as well.
