The World's End is probably either one of the funniest or one of the saddest movies I've seen all year. Probably both.

... that one sentence really makes me want to see that movie, now.

That would certainly fit in with the other two Blood and Ice Cream movies.

World's End was absolutely wonderful.

So my friend is a huge Vin Diesel/Riddick fangirl so she dragged me along to see the new one. I don't have anything against Riddick or Vin really, I just don't really care.

Anyway, Riddick was ~~pretty much~~ almost exactly the same storyline as Pitch Black, so at least the writer knows that Pitch Black was a better film than

THRESHOLD! TAKE US TO THE THRESHOLD!

It also has a CGI dog in it. He's the best character. Not joking.

Oh, and you get to see Starbuck's tits briefly.

To be clear, there is a scene in which Riddick strips naked, removing all his Necromonger armor, and says "time to get back to basics."

It's not exactly a subtle movie.

Okay, at first I was super disappointed because this is clearly just Pitch Black II: Most of our Fanbase Hasn't Seen This Yet.

Then I got super pumped because the trailers made it look like they literally just recast and shot the exact same movie again, with minor details changed. Except this time Riddick is 100% meta, completely aware that this all already happened once, which would be an amazing movie.

So, which did it end up feeling more like?

Friday · « **Reply #1149 on:** September 08, 2013, 09:50:58 PM »

Both.

I'm not being flippant, it's really 50/50.

I knew absolutely nothing going into this movie, aside from that it was another Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg/Nick Frost movie, and I'm glad I did. When the [spoiler]kid's head popped off in the bathroom[/spoiler], I sat up in my seat and shouted, "what the fuck?!" much to the amusement of everyone seated around me, I'm sure.

Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are so funny that it's easy to forget just how straight-up goddamn heartbreaking they are.

(Haven't seen World's End yet.)

Büge · « **Reply #1152 on:** September 20, 2013, 12:05:31 AM »

Heartbreaking?

Cthulhu-chan · « **Reply #1153 on:** September 20, 2013, 07:32:54 PM »

I've only seen Shaun of the Dead, but towards the middle-end, there are some pretty rough scenes for a comedy/parody.

Thad · « **Reply #1154 on:** September 21, 2013, 06:37:12 AM »

Sure, I'm thinking Shaun in particular. (Spoilers follow; not going to bother tagging them.)

Shaun's bittersweet, too-late bonding with his stepfather and the death of his mother are legitimately sad, heartfelt moments. And then when Nick Frost gets bitten it's one last big gut-punch.

Hot Fuzz doesn't have the same level of tragedy, but Nick Frost's relationship with his father, and their grief over the passing of his mother, are really the driving force behind the entire plot.

(Hm -- here's a thought: Under the Dome is what you get when you stick the characters from Hot Fuzz into the setting of The Simpsons Movie and make it a drama instead of a comedy. Discuss.)

Mothra · « **Reply #1155 on:** September 21, 2013, 10:07:32 AM »

Well, if you thought Shaun was at all genuinely sad, fuckin' strap-in for World's End. They come at you sideways.

Mothra · « **Reply #1156 on:** October 07, 2013, 01:50:35 PM »

Gravity was completely fucking amazing.

I saw it in 3D. I think it was a good movie for it.

Go see it.

Whatever limited edition thing is coming out on Blu-Ray, I will day one preorder it.

Came in the mail today. The "Limited Edition" is a cruel joke - just comes in a fruitier looking box, really - but eh, I showed my support.

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #1158 on:** October 15, 2013, 08:57:10 PM »

Gravity is one of those movies I feel is impossible to spoil because it's not a movie about what happens so much as it is about experiencing what happens. The antagonist, after all, is Space -- not a particularly complex character, it being a massive and looming entity mostly comprised of silent and uncaring absolute chaos. Its motivation is simple, (don't worry that link is Spoiler-Free), so knowing why it does what it does really doesn't add to the experience.

Malikial · « **Reply #1159 on:** October 15, 2013, 09:26:16 PM »

I thought gravity was horrible, i can't really explain why. Just, I disliked the whole package.
