I loved Toy Story 3, but watching the climactic scene where the toys were sliding towards a pit of lava and all hope seemed lost-- really, I actually thought Pixar was going to finish the series by killing the toys-- I became completely lost in the movie, and forgot things like "It is a kids movie, they would never kill the beloved toys." Were children across the nation traumatised by this movie? Or is the rule "the toy story toys will get away" just completely ingrained in their psyche... to the point where it is a stronger instinct than "sliding uncontrollably towards lava is BAD"? Do movies/TV still scare children, or are they better able to compartmentalize narratives, to be scared of real things but remember happy-ending rules than I was at the same age (I remember clearly being traumatised by, among other things the STTNG episode "Skin of Evil" and several of the darker "The Real Ghostbusters" episodes)?

I think we grew up in a period where children were babied a lot compared to earlier generations. If you read some oldschool nursery tales they can be pretty violent and/or bleak in ways.

Yeah, there was some animated movie for children in the eighties about a rabbit. The movie was pretty fucked up and violent.

Remember Optimus fucking Prime dying?

thekremlin · 10-18-2012, 08:50 AM

None of which is nearly as terrifying as seeing beloved TSIII characters sliding helplessly into a biblical inferno?

You brilliant son of a bitch.

Ironic Mustache · 10-18-2012, 02:31 PM

Holy shit, I remember seeing that movie when I was young and it scaring the shit out of me. I've never known what it was, and was actually just thinking about it the other day. Reps.

f3lix · 01-13-2013, 10:24 PM

Zero Dark Thirty. Best film of the year. Similar to Argo, but just a better film in about every way.

Ugly Bastard · 01-13-2013, 10:31 PM

What do you say to the people saying it's CIA propaganda to promote methods of torture?

Johnny Richter · 01-13-2013, 10:36 PM

Now I have confirmation that its a shit movie without ever having to suffer through it.

Everytime you decide temporarily lower your dignity to associate with the "commoners" at the local theater, you end up naming whatever you saw "the best film of the year."

You basically watched porn for right wing America.

mfw conservative paper-pushing overweight pale white men jerk off to the fantasy they are BAD-ASS MARINES like those guys who killed Osama or like in Call of Duty even!

DJ FC · 01-13-2013, 11:34 PM

I watched Zero Dark Thirty last night. Pretty awesome. Not really like Argo in many ways at all and Argo is definitely better.

When I grow up i wanna be like Blonde.

Cocktooth · 01-14-2013, 08:35 AM

I also went and checked out Zero Dark Thirty last night. On the promoting methods of tourture, I didn't see it. That was the most difficult part of the film to watch for me. Overall, I loved it. I want to see Argo as well. I'm enjoying that Best Picture nominated movies are starting to become mainstream. Before, you never heard of half of the movies up for awards. Has anyone seen Django? I've heard nothing but great things from that flick as well.

Ugly Bastard · 01-14-2013, 10:39 AM

Django was the nuts. My favorite release of 2012 though I can't claim to have seen many.

Cocktooth · 01-14-2013, 11:34 AM

Yesterday was the first movie that was released this year I've seen I believe. I actually enjoyed the 2 1/2 hours I had by myself, and will probably do it more often on Sunday's. I'm still chapped that a matinee is only a dollar cheaper then a prime time movie slot.

This makes me sad inside

f3lix · 01-16-2013, 12:07 AM

UB - I don't buy the propaganda nonsense.

Blonde - wtf are you on?

My top 10 of the year:

1. Zero Dark Thirty
2. Argo
3. Jiro Dreams of Sushi
4. Django Unchained
5. Skyfall
6. The Dark Knight Rises
7. Moonrise Kingdom
8. Looper
9. The Hunger Games
10. Killer Joe

I only saw the first half of Lincoln (fell asleep (not movie's fault)) and didn't see The Master.

What kind of homo leaves Prometheus off the top 10!?!?!?

Mr. Blonde · 01-16-2013, 01:51 AM

Prometheus was a pile of shit.

Great visuals, sure. But I don't go to the movie theater because I want a lapdance. I go to the movie theater to get fucked. And at around 20 bucks (I NEED MY REFRESHMENTS) I better get fucked good and hard.

Prometheus can suck my fucking dick. But it won't; because when it comes to Prometheus, there's no sex in the champagne room.

Johnny Richter · 01-16-2013, 05:43 AM

How the fuck could you put Skyfall above the dark knight rises?

That abortion of a bond movie was a disgrace to the franchise.
