Let The Right One In

[private witt]

This was the best vampire movie I've seen in a long time.

There's no way its better than twilight.

oh my fucking god you spent enough time to find a calvin and hobbes image to post here, WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST WRITE SOMETHING WORTH SAYING!?!?! Fuck it, people were coddling you in that Pulp Fiction post. His reply, at best, was a dry attempt at being funny. It doesn't require you, and calvin and fucking hobbes to be barreled over with laughter, rofling pointlessly all over the goddman place. STOP IT. Just shut shut shut up. If you want to reply to this post, private message me, private witt. Do not put it in this thread, you've bogged down enough of the others. (ironically, I'm drunk right now, so maybe this should go in your all-caps thread in Idle Chatter).

Back to the discussion of this film, thank you for that bit of information Stefen. That was a point of confusion you've cleared up enough for me. I really liked this film, not disappointing like most every other vampire movie I've seen.

Spent enough time?  Haha, I just google imaged the word "laughter", it took about four seconds, drunky.  Hope your hangover isn't too wicked.

I love Calvin and Hobbes.

Oh no.  I just realized that Hollywood will someday try to make a screen version of the comic strip.  Fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, no no no no...

Bill Watterson will never let it happen.  No need to worry.

And now back to our regularly scheduled topic.

I feel like i inadvertently derailed this thread so i guess i'll put it back on course.
This was immensely enjoyable. In a perfect world there would be no remake in the works. I don't think its that groundbreaking but it kept me in my seat and invested in the story til the end and i guess that's all I could ask for. Definitely one of the best I've seen from '08.

I haven't seen nor will i ever watch twilight.

After hearing all the hype about this one, I came away from the theater very disappointed. The most interesting thing was the relationship between the old man and the girl, but that was pretty much glossed over to set up the very predictable "surprise twist".

Beyond that, this one was pretty straightforward and dull, IMO.

Straightforward and dull? Maybe if you're going in knowing she's a vampire.  I think we don't give enough credit to movies nowadays because we know so much going into movies, so we can't get swept up in the suspension of disbelief.  We can't allow ourselves to be immersed in a new environment.

What were you expecting to see?  How was the girl and the old man's relationship glossed over?  The ending gives the impression that its cyclical since she's a vampire and thus immortal as long as she has a helper.

Either you let the hype ruin the movie for you or you should've seen Twilight.

so you're blaming him for having a vague idea of what he bought the ticket to see?
It was a boring movie, the coming-of-age shit in there was so dull, there was nothing interesting about the boy and nothing particularly worthy of audience investment.  the townies were a bunch of caricatures too.  something almost interesting could've happened with the bitten lady, but it ended as soon as it started.  nothing about it particularly resonated, which was all you need to do to tell a coming-of-age story - just come up with some shit that everyone could identify with and evoke the shit out of it.  none of that happened.  the bullies were extremely one-dimensional.  I just saw Role Models - the dungeons and dragons bullies were way more convincing in their two scenes than this whole movie, and that was a studio comedy directed by David Wain.  And seriously?  Pitting a vampire against a bunch of 10-year olds? 

the set up for the instances were just too obvious - that the boy could do a bunch of shit that a vampire couldn't do, and vice versa, but it took like two hours for the film to arrive at something that everyone saw coming, with no interesting turns in the meanwhile.

Yes.
