Men in Black was really great. Men in Black Two was Exhibit B in the case against unnecessary sequels. This movie looks like it could be largely sans-Tommy Lee Jones, so whats the point?

Re: I may want to see that?
Thank you, Mr. Ridgely, but I was more curious about my potential motivations for seeing the movie. I long ago stopped trying to understand the reasons other people act as they do, and now merely assume that everyone but myself and my ideological fellow-travelers act out of stupidity or unalloyed baby-eating malevolence. I'm looking into a career in cable television punditry.

Re: I may want to see that?
Speaking of which, dbcooper may have seen them the, um, legitimate way, but a British television station has been airing a short (three episode) 'series' called Black Mirror. The first show is about the kidnapping of a popular princess, the ransom demand being that the Prime Minister engage in, um, sexual intercourse with a pig live on television. I wish I could report hilarity ensued, but they apparently played it mostly seriously.
Re: I may want to see that?
I haven't seen it, but I've heard both that it's good and that it's too silly.
The creator, Charlie Brooker, is a satirical writer, so I imagine that it's rather tongue in cheek.

Re: I may want to see that?
At the theater the other day, I saw a poster for The Secret World of Arrietty, based on the book The Borrowers. My first instinct was, "You changed the title and no doubt butchered a piece of my childhood! Die, scum!" But then David pointed out it was Hayao Miyazaki and released by Studio Ghibli, so ... maybe?
Oh, god, I loved that book so much. It was a perfect example of that thing somebody mentioned offhand somewhere and I've always wanted to read a really good analysis of, which was that how come all us girls who grew up in the 70s and 80s grew up reading middle grade books with sad/bittersweet/not-happily-ever-after endings? (I'm looking at you, The Great Gilly Hopkins.)

Re: I may want to see that?
For some reason that book was on my shelf the whole time I was growing up, and I never read it. It's not like I let books being 'for girls' stop me. I just could never get into it.Ellie wrote:At the theater the other day, I saw a poster for The Secret World of Arrietty, based on the book The Borrowers.

i learned a lot of things from judy blume, but not always enough to explain everything. (i.e. for years i had a horrifically misinformed idea of what periods were.)

Re: I may want to see that?
Just to save some time for anyone else here who is a cultural cripple like me: A quick Google image image search reveals that Hayao Miyazaki is not a hot Asian actress.Ellie wrote:At the theater the other day, I saw a poster for The Secret World of Arrietty, based on the book The Borrowers.

Miyazaki is an animator and producer of anime films, generally regarded as superior examples of the art.

That should be minus Paul Greengrass, to clear up confusion. The screenwriter of this and the previous movies is directing now, IIRC.Andrew wrote:Screw that. He already made Bourne 2 and 3 unwatchable.dbcooper wrote:It's also - Paul Greengrass.

Re: I may want to see that?
Some of the imagery in this looks neat, but it'd probably be better as a short film or music video.
