What is the latest movie you watched and what did you think of it?

I just watched Super 8 and granted it was a cam but I didn't especially like it. Besides the fact Abrams steals basically everything from other (better) movies I don't understand how I'm suppose to feel all warm and fuzzy at the end over a hideous gigantic man-eating alien?
Also again maybe it being a cam did this but I never felt the bond between the young characters so necessary to a film like this.
Yeah I'm sure all you younger people buy into it and will think it's the best thing since sliced bread but then you're all idiots aren't you.

Probably would have gone down better if I hadn't seen the original first. As it is the American imo pales in comparison choosing to go for more straightforward horror than lyrical melancholy.Part of this comes from Chloe Moretz's vampire next door being more manipulative predator than someone trapped in a situation not of their own making.
Also the other lead ,Kodi Smit-McPhee has future serial killer and not lost soul written all over him from the get go so again hard to sympathize .
Then there is the matter of the expanded character of the vampire's servant which though I suppose is suppose to elicit sympathy doesn't . The film also seemed poorly paced but that might have more to do with me knowing what was going to happen than being actual fact.

Anyway in term of pointless arbitrary numbers I give it a 6.5/10 or less.

I thought it was mildly terrible, but so is the original.

Norwegian

Yes! Let it henceforth be known as that. Less likely to be associated to anything of mine that way.

Just watched Paul and I'm really disappointed.

He's much better with Peter and Mary.

Didn't they do Puff the Magic Dragon?

Yes indeed, they did.

Me neither.
