It was a well-made movie and it tugged on all of the right heartstrings
But it left me feeling empty. I guess what it has to say about childhood is "man, it's a good thing people grow up eventually"
too old to be a kid too young to be proper nostalgic

Then there were some vampires. One of the vampires bit the tallest building but his fangs broke off. Then all of his other teeth fell out. The vampire started crying.
The other vampires said, "Why are you crying? Aren't those just your baby teeth?"
The vampire said, "No, those are my grown-up teeth."
And the vampires knew he couldn't be a vampire anymore so they left him.
the end

This.
My little niece tells stories like that all the damn time.
It was too slow for little kids, too boring for older kids, too much of a kids movie for teens, and too arty for the majority of adults. So did they really make it for college kids and arty young adults? And if so, why did a studio greenlight it?
I just have so many questions.
I did think it reflected childhood well but
it just didn't do anything for me. It tried a little too hard to be sweet and sentimental and instead, I thought, fell flat, and the long protracted goodbye Max has with the monsters at the end was just a little too boring
The dialogue seemed a little repetitive at times and, although I understand the presence of the owls, they looked a little too idiotic compared to how great the monsters themselves looked
I liked the non-monster parts best, I think
also, it sure was pretty
If only because I tell that joke all the time

hahahahahaha
and in interviews many people have repeatedly said that this is spike's personal vision and like his baby project and stuff like that
so what i'm thinking is that this is spike jonze's weird arty take on a kid's movie (generalization, but kind of the idea) and it was allowed to happen basically because the movie sells itself just with the title, jonze is an accomplished director (if not the one you'd immediately think of for this project) and if nothing else it had been in development hell for ages and he was the one that finally brought it out
Also, KW knocking the owls out of the sky with rocks would have been a lot funnier if I'd known that she wasn't hurting them.
this owns so fucking hard
I think that was the point, the movie was pretty dark in places
presented as a kid's movie
i mean, none of the ad spots i've seen for it paint it as a children's movie

Like, she had to knock them out of the sky with rocks to get them, then she carried them around under her arms after that.
I mean, it did not appear that they were there willingly.

Great movie not high too.
Great movie.
It's science.
most people will just assume that it is based on their familiarity with the book and not bother to have their mind changed
if that one blogger people were bitching about in the watchmen thread was completely convinced that watchmen was marketed as a children's movie just because it was a comic first and had a tv spot during american idol (in spite of, you know, everything else readily apparent about the film and property), it's not outrageous to think that people assumed this to be a children's movie
Huh.
Has anyone read it?
Is it worthwhile?

when i don't think it's even been advertised as such ever

I'm saying the kids liked it.
So.... does it matter?

I saw stacks of it at Costco, but I haven't read it
maybe I will
no, but some people are saying
"THIS ISNT A KIDS MOVIE HOW DUMB"

Well.
I guess it could have used more cartoon CGI animals dancing to Whoop There It Is.
I will concede this point.

it was pretty great but some asshole brought their toddlers and the stupid shits would not shut up for more than a minute at a time
every criticism I hear about it is just another thing that I loved about it
spike jonze is a genius
