A24 4,335 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 And you believe everything you read on the Internet?I'm not only basing myself on that one review. I also saw the trailer and Joey loves it despite his hatred for classic Scorese movies. I just found a review or article which headlines read: "Hugo is not for kids!"It's not even a family movie? What is this? Is it like Empire Of The Sun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this? Is it like Empire Of The Sun?I only hate Cape Fear, I think Raging Bull is dull and boring but it's not for me. I like Taxi Driver and New York New York. His last with Leo was overrated.Hugo is a beautifully shot film, it is worthy of all it's praise. I personally was skeptical but viewing the film won me over. I'm glad I had taken film history classes. It made my appreciation of the film even better.Alex, Jason and I could easily tell you more about the film, but part of the film's charm is following the path of discovery yourself.

This is terrible news....I'm almost certain these new guys are not going to live up to him....and here I was thinking that I could at least rely on one show to not dwindle into insignificance for me. This sucks. And with Community being moved to Friday, things aren't looking too good for the show.

chuck 154 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 never heard of them, pretty sure from the titles they are not my kind of shows. probably big eyed cartoons I'd guess.See, that kind of attitude is as backward as any PC pussy idiots out there. Just because it's animation it automatically means its for children. You'd be surprised at how much cartoons have changed from the days of "big eyed cartoons" from the past. In fact I can vouch that today's children's are exposed to cartoons with the same atmosphere as Dexter and Breaking Bad.And as for the ones I've mention, no they're not "big eyed cartoons" like you say. I'm not that juvenile to suggest little kiddie cartoons in an adult oriented forum (I've outgrown them anyhow). Not when the subject matter involves real guns that are frequently used (although lasers are also shown), there are fairly complex running storylines, innuendo-laced jokes are made, characters are killed, and there are also allusions to real world political situations such as in North Korea and the Middle East (albeit with obvious stand-ins). It's made all the more baffling since the series is currently aired on Saturday Mornings rather than a prime time slot, where more adult-oriented content like The Clone Warsis usually placed on Cartoon Network.

(The badly animated poorly dubbed I mean). No seriously, this is some top notch animation and this are made by American production, plus the story is tight. And saying anime or manga are all badly animated or poorly dubbed is like saying all Muslims are all terrorists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you knew that didn't you. And yes 4th season was also terrific although there were a few weaker episodes in the middle and took away from the central plot but I really liked the ending of the show even though it was over so fast.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 were there penis jokes, I don't remember I just remember the end when one of the big eyed characters asked why, why.actually I thought that was a robot chicken spoof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,715 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 If Lee doesn't like the quality of the animation it doesn't help if the plot gets better, unless you mean that he might be swept off by it and give the animation quality some slack?I actually was positively surprised by the plot of Avatar the Last Airbender which was an imaginative mix of humor, action and growth story.

Even though the story still boggles my mind with quite foreign fantastical designs and concepts. But the animation is brilliant and the whole film captures very well the fantastical cause and effect of the world of spirits and faerie, where human ideas don't always hold true.
