[Adios]

I misread the thread title as Flim Flam and thought of the old movie by the same name. The Flim Flam Man.

This actually looks to be a fairly awesome movie season:

127 Hours - Danny Boyle's new flick about the guy a few years back who gets his arm trapped under a boulder and had to hack it off to escape.  It sounded flimsy at first but the trailer looks great and I think James Franco can carry it.

True Grit - The Coen Brothers are doing a western starring Jeff Bridges.  Hell yeah.

Red looks hysterical.  I'll probably wait until its out of theaters to see it but come on:  Hellen Mirren with a sniper rifle, based on a Warren Ellis work, and Hellen Mirren with a sniper rifle.

I've heard good things about The Social Network.

Darren Aronofsky's new one about rival balet dancers looks odd.  I'm not sure I'll be looking into it, but I know he has a following.

Huh what?

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU- THAT LOOKS AWESOME!

[Cain]

Yeah, Red looks like it has potential, just based on the cast alone. 

[Suu]

I just saw Franklyn last night for the first time.

Holy. Shit.

I think I need to watch it again to "get it" more, but I caught a lot of things before the film was over. I recommend it for anyone, as the Steampunkery in it isn't over the top. It's more about imagination and different planes of existence than anything.

They have it on Netflix to stream for those that have accounts. Seriously. See it.

*Response to two month old conversation*

I liked Red. It's the first movie I've seen in years that I actually felt was worth paying for.

[Cain]

Agreed, it was pretty good.  Pretty damn good indeed.

[Cain]

Just watched The Legend of the Guardians.  Surprisingly dark for what initially looks like a kids animation film.

Also OWL CABAL needs to be up in this shit.

[AFK]

IMO, a good kid's movie will have that touch of darkness to it.  One of my favorites from when I was a kiddo was The Secret of NIMH.  One of Don Bluth's earlier offerings before he gave us that sappy An American Tail movie. 

[Cain]

Yeah, maybe.  Letting Zack Snyder direct a kid's film was always going to result in something along these lines though, so they cant have been unaware of it ending up this way.

Oh NIMH is SO GOOD.


Also: Watership Down.

Tron is looking like the first movie that actually deserves the cheesy 3D treatment. I'm going to see it for the spectacle alone.

Plus: Yay, for a new Aronofsky movie!

This. I am not ashamed in the least to say that I'll be going to see Tron just because it looks so fucking cool.

Original or GTFO.
