Big Fish is the latest movie from Tim Burton. I can not think of one Tim Burton movie that I don't like. It looks fairly interesting. It stars Ewan McGregor and Jessica Lange, while Danny DeVito and Steve Buscemi have bit parts.

A basic plot summery can be found on IMDb.com: "The story is about a William Bloom (Billy Crudup) trying to learn more about his dying father (Albert Finney) by reliving stories and myths his father told him about himself."

I don't know. At first I thought that it looked kind of stupid, but the more I've heard about it, the better it sounds. Thoughts? Comments? Information? Go ahead and share...

i thought the same as you, tongue. i saw a short preview that looked ridiculously stupid, but then i saw a longer one that seems much more interesting.

i think i'll see this one.

It looks like it could be at least vaguely interesting. I might use a free matinee pass on it.

Combat Chuck · 12-20-2003, 04:26 AM

But then again, you'll now have to pay to see it. Unless you wait for me to pre-street it at Blockbuster.....if I'm still working there that is.

tonguegina · 12-20-2003, 05:40 PM

Oh, we all know that it will never come to Warsaw. They don't show good movies, just blockbusters and childrens movies. We'd definitely have to make a trip to the Rave to see it.

Juliet · 12-21-2003, 12:59 AM

yea, I thought it looked pretty interresting. I loved Nightmare Before Christmas. My friends are obsessed with it.

Combat Chuck · 12-21-2003, 04:43 AM

Just to let you know.....this movie's not going to be like Nightmare Before Christmas. Just wanted to clear up any confusing confusion.

Juliet · 12-23-2003, 11:59 PM

Yea, I knew that. I just figured that if I loved that one, and from the previews I've seen, I'd at least like Big Fish.

tonguegina · 01-10-2004, 03:07 AM

Not only did it appear at North Pointe this weekend (for non-Warsonians, that's the cinema in Warsaw), but I saw the 7 o'clock showing of it on Friday night. Let me tell ya...it's a hell of a movie.

If I had a free moment this weekend, you know what I'd do before I went back to BSU? I'd go see Big Fish again. It isn't as dark as most of Burton's other films, but there is no question as to who its director was. It is extremely Burtonesque. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll love every 124 minutes of this film. I can't even really put my finger on what made this film so good, but I know that I'll be buying it the very first day it's on the shelves.

thanks for the comment toungue, i think i might have to go check it out today.

rla128 · 02-01-2004, 01:38 AM

I just saw it. I give it two thumbs up.

If you want around 2 hours of good solid entertainment, go see this movie.

Highly recommended.

victim · 02-01-2004, 02:17 AM

I should see this... it's probably better than what I saw last night, The Butterfly Effect (DUDE, where's my psychological thriller?).

rla128 · 02-01-2004, 02:19 AM

Tenfold, victim, tenfold.

I see you enjoying this movie. I see you all enjoying this movie. It just has a certain... something about it.

It's so weird, yet so simple, yet so profound. Yes, go see it, do.

tonguegina · 02-01-2004, 04:42 AM

I saw it for a second time last night. It really is worth it. I don't feel that I can justly describe how good it is.

Combat Chuck · 02-05-2004, 12:01 AM

I loved this movie as well.

Except for Billy Crudup. His acting was sooooo pathetically apathetic in EVERY WAY that his "moving" narration had no effect on me whatsoever. I was actually taken out of the movie when he was narrating, and that sucked, cause I fucking loved the movie.

BarryJive · 02-09-2004, 03:31 AM

I just saw the movie last friday and good lord it rocked my world. ewan mcgegor is fuckin awesome. While it was a little slow in parts, the last ten minutes pays off big time. Be prepared to be moved

The sky is blue
The grass is green
Spectre is great
