Cuddliest motherfuckers ever.

OK, it's official. If my druid ever summons a giant spider in the Pathfinder campaign I'm playing, it will look like that.

Coherence. Might be my favourite movie I watched this year.

I mean, yes, it fucks up the explanation for Schrödinger's Cat, but everyone does that, so not gonna hold it against it.

The Lego Movie is still my favorite movie of this year but alas Big Hero 6 has found itself as my second favorite of the year. Better yet it didn't become too sentimental like most Disney features do and keeps its pace.

I saw Catching Fire (2013) and Battle Royale (2000) a little while ago.

Catching Fire was better than I was expecting, certainly more memorable than the first Hunger Games movie. I honestly don't remember the first one at all. I remember the book, I liked it, but I don't remember a thing about the movie. So this one was better by virtue of me remembering it, and also I think it had a slightly less epileptic cameraman. The love triangle thing is still bullshit, but what can you do, eh?

Battle Royale was.. pretty much exactly what I expected. It was... brutal and disturbing and it pulled no punches. I hesitate to say I liked it because.. well, the nature of it, but it was a very well made and very effective film. That said, I have to note that it had some attributes that reminded me of older movies, the loud, bombastic music at the beginning and some of the editing seemed to do things I don't usually see in movies made after the 60s or so. It reminded me of an old wartime propaganda film, and I'm not sure if that was intentional or not, because I haven't seen enough Japanese movies to know if that sort of thing is still common practice or not.

Depends very largely on the movie. "Battle Royale" in all its forms is intended to be an examination of how strong social ties really are and what keeps us from collapsing into savagery. It's deliberately melodramatic, especially in parts like where the one student shouts at the top of his lungs how much he loves his bulletproof vest, just SECONDS after his attacker shoots him, and well before said attacker is out of earshot.

As usual, I recommend reading the book rather than relying on the movie as your sole source for what "Battle Royale" is about. The manga is a decent adaptation as far as that goes, and does a lot to fill in the backstories of many characters that only appear for a few pages in the novel, but it also adds a lot of gratuitous nudity and sexuality, which gets especially disturbing when it's in the middle of bloody death scenes.

Oh, probably should have mentioned I've read the book, and that it probably wouldn't have made as much sense to me if I hadn't. I talked about it a bit in the book thread when I read it the first time, but that was ages ago.

The Imitation Game.  Not all that accurate, but still a good movie.

Wife and I managed to leave the kids at grandparents for a while and have a little time to ourselves...

So we went and watched the last Hobbit movie. Pretty good. There were silly and stupid bits but overall I liked it.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Watched the extended edition of the second Hobbit movie last night. I enjoy the Hobbit movies, but I'm a little disappointed by how little actual material the "Extended Editions" add compared to the extended editions of Lord of the Rings.

Presumably because they already used all the material they possibly could to extend one book into three movies.
