Wasn't excited until this review. It does sound like a live action cartoon. That's what Hollywood is right? It's been proven by science that Hollywood filmmakers suck at drama so why shouldn't this movie be ridiculous fun?

Werd. That's what I'm hoping for is fun. It's been like 10 + years of corny ass fanboy movies and raunchy comedies during the summers. I'm glad to see something fun and exciting is coming out. Something new, even.

That's what Michael Bay defenders say too.

Cool. I'm interested like the next guy in this movie, but because it's J.J. Abrams at the helm. I remember when Signs was advertised as a Speilberg 70s throwback and everyone was excited. The movie got nice reviews but it was an exercise in filmmaking and not memorable. The Goonies is memorable and fun, but it's hard to recreate that timeliness. I don't know if it can be done. I also don't know if I can be 12 years old again and fall into that same kind of wonderment. Mainly, I'm not trying to have any expectations for this movie.

I know what you mean. It's weird (not werd) because film is the most fun artform ever but the tendency is to forget this and become only serious about it. I guess as we grow old and our lives become serious. But film is fun! I know you know this because I know you like Lester.

No need to identify a slightly skeptical reminder as the person being "too serious" or needs reminder that "film is fun". A person only interested in Hollywood entertainment could have written that last post by me. There needs to be a little grain to the salt of this thread.

What trouble I have with tone! Are you being deffensive? Because I meant "don't even have to tell the guy who likes one of cinema's funnest directors" not "this guy won't even get it he's too serious."

Haha, no worries. Sometimes when I hear a few buzz words in a reply, I project a tone.

And JB, I rushed the thought of that sentence. My previous clarity remark disproved quickly.

Oh I see. That kind of inductive logic is really harmful to a conversation.
