I watched 'Tangled' and 'Spirited Away' with my choir on a trip to Indianapolis, but the last movie I saw just because was 'Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie'.
MST3K is -was- a TV show where a guy and two robots are forced to watch the worst movies every made, and they make sarcastic comments the whole way through ;D so funny! MST3K: The Movie is pretty much the same thing, they watch a movie with no plot and make it hilarious!
You should look it up on Netflix, if you have an account for instant streaming. Just type in MST3K and you'll get a ton of responses. I recommend 'The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies,' AKA Mixed-Up Zombies.
Okay, I'm gonna stop acting like I know everything about old TV shows and just post this comment already.

Yes it was, but I missed about twenty minutes of it because... (oh God) I uh... I got locked in the bus bathroom.
Okay, now that I'm done embarrasing myself, I have a question: why the capital MAX? It's just Max.

I LOVE TANGLED!!! Like, actually though. I watched it with my parents, and then rented it again to watch it when I got my wisdom teeth out. I wish it had come out when I was a kid so I could have been into one Disney princess~ except not really, because I like my anti-Disney upbringing. *sigh* Oh well. But I love Tangled! Aanaleigh - I totally need to go see that movie! ...and maybe re-read the book first  |

There's actually one thing I didn't like about Tangled: why is it that when she was magic, she was blond but when her hair was cut, she was a brunette? What kind of message does that send to little, susceptible girls? 'You'll never be great unless you're blond?' I don't know...I hate blond princesses for some reason.
Okay, there is another thing. They got Rapunzel's story wrong. Originally, Rapunzel's pregnant mother, father, and older brother moved into a house across from a witch. The mother craved the witch's vegetables, so the father stole them. The witch caught him and demanded their next born child: Rapunzel. She wasn't born into royalty, she wasn't kidnapped, and no one spent eighteen years looking for her.
Ah, I shall save this for the rant thread!

Max - agree with you about the whole brunette-hair-equals-not-magical thing. It annoyed me But overall I still liked how awesome Rapunzel was. (When she hit Flynn in the head with the frying pan? Oh my gods, I practically fell on my a** laughing.) I know that version of Rapunzel, but I fell like there might be multiple versions of it...or Disney just got it wrong. But let's be honest, here, there not so great at getting the original stories right anyway...I mean, in the real The Little Mermaid, the prince doesn't choose her and she dies. D: (Plus Flynn wouldn't have been half as cool as a real prince!  <3) But I do agree with you. I saw Despicable Me last night. Oh my gosh it was so funny! I was giggling like crazy for the whole movie Maybe I need to watch fewer cartoons... |

I FREAKING LOVE DESPICABLE ME!! I've seen it at least seven times. It's, like, the best movie ever.  I LOVED when she hit Flynn with a frying pan, (mostly 'cos he looks like my bro) it's totally something I would do. But yeah, Disney sucks at getting the right story. In Pinocchio, he gets eaten by a shark. The aforementioned Rapunzel and Little Mermaid. |

Yes but if disney got their movies right less little kids (their primary audience not us) would want to watch the little mermaid dying or our puppet pal being a toothpick

Ahahaha, so true, but I wish they would make the originals, targeted at us. For example, I would love to see Snow White as it happened to the brothers Grimm: she chokes on a piece of poison apple and the kiss dislodges the apple. > So evil, yet amazing. |

I watched Super 8! ZOMG It was amazing. Sort of like E.T., which was okay, but it wasn't for misbehaving six year olds about 'you can do anything'. It was like it was targeted to appeal to us. xD Perfect amount of gore, just a little blood here, a splatter there, and a really cool alien.

Re: original fairytales, in the book I read Cinderella Ate My Daughter she cited research that the original fairytales are actually much better for kids than the Disney versions.

Is posting three months after the last post necroposting?
Well, the lasy movie I watched was the anime movie Paprika. I had heard about the movie when stuff like Spirited Away and Toonami were all the rage, it's a colorful R-rated anime movie with all adult protagonists.
It's supposed to be really colorful and trippy and about people hacking into dreams, but when I got around to renting it from the library, it was just a 90-minute movie with a plot that seemd kinda basic.
It wasn't as shocking as AKIRA or even the recent movie Inception. It's rated R, but it had almost no blood-and-guts, and hardly any violence of and only brief nakedness.
Maybe I'm just spoiled on in-your-face whimsical Studio Ghibli stuff. and AKIRA, which is my favorite movie.
Maybe it's one of those movies that requires watching multiple times to really absorb it. That is also the case with AKIRA, but i enjoyed that the first time I saw that.

I don't keep up much with with the anime stuff but I don't think I could really watch a movie a bunch of times to fully understand it, I would probably get bored of it

<3) But I do agree with you.
i don't know why it got such bad reviews : P
