Comments on: Films I’ve Not Seeny Memey http://www.thepickards.co.uk/index.php/200806/films-ive-not-seeny-memey/ ranting and rambling to anyone willing to listen Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:35:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Shannon http://www.thepickards.co.uk/index.php/200806/films-ive-not-seeny-memey/comment-page-1/#comment-32791 Shannon Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:55:40 +0000 http://www.thepickards.co.uk/?p=644#comment-32791 I watched Blade Runner for a class a couple quarters ago, and while it was a perfectly good movie, I found myself completely pissed off the entire time because it was sooo dark -- I mean <em>literally</em> dark (not like <em>depressing</em>). I kept shifting where I was looking from, changed seats, and that classroom was completely dark, but I was seriously so angry 'cause I couldn't see what the hell was going on! But I could definitely see its merit as a film.

Monster's Inc is a must though - I still think it's the best of the Pixar films, but I am in a minority as all the polls and everyone says Finding Nemo is the best, which I thought was below average. I have also seen NbyNW (but only a couple of months ago), but none of the others on your list either.

AJ got the DVD boxset for his birthday and since then we've watched all <em>five</em> different "cuts" plus the <em>three and a half hour</em> Making-Of. And there's one disc we haven't even looked at yet... I'm afraid I've watched so many movies that the only ones that come up very often that I haven't watched are ones I've actively avoided, usually because of anticipated violence - things like the Clockwork Orange, which was a great book, and I love Stanley Kubrick, but it's got such a reputation I think I may be better off without it.
