Meh

Meh

thanks for the thought provoking comment.

I didn't care for First Class, I was just kinda bored with it.

Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart should be doing better things with their time and legacy

The X-Men franchise was amazing through the first two movies but has been awful since

Well, Singer's coming back so perhaps it will return to that level now. With the likes of Fassbender, Stewart, and McKellan there are definitely enough talent in this film.

Life of Pi is not a children's movie, it certainly would bore them. It's a tale of survival, survival of life and soul.

Wojo, the tiger does not kill Pi becuase much of the time Pi is on a raft. Also the tiger is often suffering from sea sickness. The tiger is well fed thanks to the ocean's abundance. It has a philosophical bend since Pi embraces Hindu, Catholicism, Islam, and Judaism.

[Quintus 6,494]

Was that a spoiler?

[Brónach 1,330]

It's on the trailer.

Pi embraces Hindu, Catholicism, Islam, and Judaism.

????????

The novel won Best Adult Fiction award. Good news about it not being a children's movie. Not sure why they wouldn't like it though. Tigers, boy, boot, storm, ... it all looks like a fairy tale.

This isn't The Tigger Movie, Alex. Considering how numb and agist you are I shouldn't be surprised that you don't know what attracts children to the cinema.

Next time just ask your son before posting.

Another blatant demonstration of your moronity, Koray? No need for that, you already convinced me of that since day one.

It needs to be The Tigger Movie before children may like it? And don't you mean 'ageist'? Just because I'm generally not interested in movies or shows that treat the audience like children doesn't make me an ageist. I only asked if the Life Of Pi is a children's movie. I never said that it is one.

I'm not an ageist. I might have a problem with so-called grownups who are adult childish.

[Wojo 2,458]

And don't you mean 'ageist'?

He does.

agist[əˈdʒɪst]

vb (tr) Law

1.

(Law) to care for and feed (cattle or horses) for payment

2.

(Law) to assess and charge (land or its owner) with a public burden, such as a tax

[from Old French

agister,

from

gister

to lodge, ultimately from Latin

jacēre

to lie down]

age·ism also ag·ism(jzm)

n.

Discrimination based on age, especially prejudice against the elderly.

ageist adj. & n.

I was actually unfamiliar with both words until just now, so I feel like this has been a double whammy of a day for vocabulary.

Maybe KoKo has a problem with grownups obssesed with being very serious and very adult!

perhaps you're more familiar with fairy tales but it's nothing like a fairy tale, first its about a 16 year old teenager, hardly a boy anymore. There is ONE tiger, a bengal tiger that is shown early on to be a very dangerous animal. And Alex you call out Koray about his spelling, perhaps you should refrain from such actions until you spell things correctly yourself. We all have spelling errors, or perhaps typos.

[Wojo 2,458]

not surprised Alex would be a spelling nazi, considering his location.

It has less to do with be a spelling nazi and more about selecting a word with a totally different meaning. If Koray wants to discuss the care and feeding of livestock, that's his business.

At least when people type "Tin Tin," we know what you meant.

considering Alex's error I consider his location to be Canada, or Kanadia, Koray's word was one letter off and only an anal fool wouldn't know where he was going.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

I'd say within the context of my sentence you could figure out what I meant.

Your constant misinterpretation of my posts continues. No where did I even insinuate that Life Of Pi needs to be like The Tigger Movie, but you insinuated that it is. Hey, there's a tiger and a kid in here, why don't kids love this? This demonstrates your inability to see anything beyond typical stereotypes of films targeted at children. You think Ratatouille treats its audience like children? Same with WALL-E? Oh you actually liked that one until people started talking. You think the themes bleeding through in that film are being absorbed by its 'target demographic?' You are above and beyond an ageist.

[Wojo 2,458]

Forgive me for being anally retentive, but I actually appreciate knowing that both are two different words. It makes me more educated. I'm sad you disagree, but considering your location in the hillbilly state, I'm not surprised.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

I wasn't referring to you with my anal comment, but your inability to fully grasp that stems from you living an absestos country I'm sure not to mention the lead paint capital of America. all that diminished capacity and yet thankfully you know the difference between agist and ageist, I'm sure you have plenty of opportunities to use the former in casual conversation!

Most folks who grew up smoking asbestos and licking lead paint off their nursery walls end up being too stupid to know how to use a Google search to promote their feigned intelligence in an online setting. Though in casual conversation, the value of that silent "E" falls away considerably.

I can't speak for you folks from Appalachia so again I defer to your wisdom.

My post are rarely serious. Only an idiot takes them seriously every time.

I never insinuated that Life Of Pi is like The Tigger Movie, I do think it looks like an adventurous fairy tale. Can't you read?

But let's talk about what happened here, shalll we? I asked whether Life Of Pi is a movie for children. I haven't read the novel nor have I seen the film. Joey says, 'Life of Pi is not a children's movie'. I replied with 'great to hear'. Then you called me an ageist and that I should inform my son before I speak on the internet. And I should respect you? Really?

[Delorean90 47]

[Koray Savas 2,260]

As always you ignore the convenient parts of one's posts. You never specifically said The Tigger Movie, but you declared that the film has a tiger and a kid and a boat and that should attract children to the cinema. Is The Tigger Movie not an adventurous fairy tale? It's that your mind latches onto animals and the age of the actor that says it all. You know well enough that this is not the first time that you have disregarded films that appear to be meant for children. "Great to hear," as if having aspects that appeal to people under the age of 18 would be reason enough to never watch it.

If your superiority is ever in question, ask your son whether a particular movie is meant for kids so you can avoid it.

[A24 5,155]

See, I want you to explain to me right now why a person can't think of a fairy tale when he sees images involving a tiger, a boy, adventure, a storm. Why is this so not done? I'm sure many parents think of going to Life Of Pi with their kids based on these images. My idea is that even though it's supposed to be for adults, children might like it too.

Edit:

Review of someone who is 11:

Great Book

I thought Life of Pi was a great book. Pi is a great character, and his struggle to survive and learn to live with Richard Parker is an amazing story. There is some blood, but honestly it's nothing to be concerned about, there is only one scene that is gory. I think it is very interesting to hear about Pi's different religions, and how that faith helped keep him alive for so long. I found this book very well written, and a captivating read. I can't wait for the movie!

Bryan Singer is a 48fps convert: http://comicbook.com...art-to-surface/

Sounds like they overcame the early post production problems of the new tech experienced by those who got a work in progress sample a few months ago.

But I'm really dying to know what that one brave jacksonite thought - the one who stood alone in the auditorium before turning to face the others and declaring how he felt about it. I bet it was a stirring moment to be there, to witness his awesome uniqueness. A shining light, a beacon of hope. They're the sort of people I'm interested in.

He didn't say boat he said boot, that's why he's lied he from belgium and is clearly from kanadia

[Wojo 2,458]

Boot? Well, I'd say within the context of his sentence you could figure out what he meant.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Looks like a teaser for Del Toro's upcoming Pacific Rim film. The movie is not a found footage or first person perspective.

Too bad he's hired Ramin Djawandi to score it.

So it's okay for children to like things meant for adults but it's not okay for adults to like things meant for children? An adventurous story is a reasonable deduction based on the trailer (I'm not liking how we're using the term 'fairy tale'), but it's the immediate reaction that such a thing is aimed at kids that is the issue. Pan's Labyrinth is a fairy tale, it has a young girl, actual fairies, and another world, yet it's most certainly not meant for kids. Come to think of it, Pan's Labyrinth is exactly like Life Of Pi without the overtly religious facade to skewer the message. Life is brutal, child regresses into imagination to cope. One film doesn't hide this and utilizes it to great effect, one does not.

[A24 5,155]

So it's okay for children to like things meant for adults but it's not okay for adults to like things meant for children?

Like all you want, Koray. What you don't understand is that I protest against the dumbing down culture. Personally, I don't like when I'm being treated like an idiot. If that makes me an ageist in your eyes, so be it. If kids are entertained by a boy and a tiger going on an adventure in a boat, then that wouldn't surprise me. BTW, kids are never insulted when they are not treated like kids.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Mark, I liked the shot of the monster laying on top of the carrier flight deck, hella cool

[Wojo 2,458]

Wait a minute...how can it be a disaster movie if the monster doesn't wreck New York City again?

[JoeinAR 1,957]

It's not a disaster movie, it's a political drama by right wing hollywood types about what they hope happens to SF.

[Wojo 2,458]

SF already has a quarterback controversy on their hands and impending ban on nudity. They don't need any more disasters.

It would be cool if they actualy explained why the kaijus have to be fought with giant humanoid robots and not with something else. But probably they will just skip over that.
