I saw up today.
I also saw the preview for The Last Airbender. Not sure how to feel about it.
You can't make a movie about FBI rodents and have it be taken seriously. For Christs sakes you're making even the kids feel stupid!
And that's worth ranting about, isn't it? Kids shows? Kid's movies? I bet that if I had a better more intensive knowledge about the horrors of Disney Channel movies I I wouldn't even be able to count off the times a character started a food fight to spite the school bullies on either hand. (that includes spin off movies staring Disney Channel children: Mean Girls, Freaky Friday, those types of movie.) Lets see... I think Sky High had one. Pretty sure one of the sky kids had food flung once or twice... I don't know, never seen them, but I bet they had it. Enough with that! Why do we need to see the same scene over and over?
Why can't people write a movie for kids without getting caught up in the pop culture references? At least in Monsters Vs Aliens it was funny. I actually liked it then. The references were used primarily in action rather than dialogue which is great!
It's like the only good kids movies these days are animated. And that's sad. At the same time, UP was absolutely amazing. There was one scene in the movie where the entire theater was rendered silent, which was really remarkable as those kids behind us were quite vocal. Only Pixar, amirite?
Now, about those kids movies that people only buy so they can use to stupify and babysit their kids, (IE: the barbie movies, anything mainstream (that Chuhuahua movie), which I wish to god parents would stop doing... Is if the creators would just stop pretending to be proud of the shit they produced. I mean honestly, I grew up on batman the animated series and Don Bluth films. Remember how scary ass the T-rex from Land before time was when you're like, four years old? Or how about how sad An american tail was? I could take it, these brats, by god, can deal with a few shots of realism in their cartoons.
PS: Anything Don Bluth from the 90s until Titan AE can suck it. Rock-a-Doodle. I rest my case.
