Re: Tintin: live action or undead?

Remember, Speilberg is Zemeckis protege. And Speilberg has never done anything in animation worth watching--like Zemeckis. Why would anyone expect anything different? It looks awful. And no, motion capture is not "animation." Animation means to "breath life into." Not to "move around" like a zombie....

It's crap...I've seen it.

Look, I've seen a copy of this already. Let's just say I live in Burbank. It's garbage from top to bottom. The only folks who will like it are those who really loved Cinderella 2 and Hunchback 2. The animation in Bambi 2 is almost as good as those two. It's a touch better than Lady and the Tramp 2 a...

That looks absolutely hideous. The animation looks crappy, the drawings are weak and ugly, and the colors and the backgrounds are cheap knockoffs--not the lovely oil paint and gouche backgrounds of the original. Not to mention the music doesn't sound quite like the great Oliver Wallace--but more lik...

Polar Express was a complete disaster. Characterless, pointless, and UGLY. And in 3D Imax, it's uglier still. Reminds me of all those really ugly badly directed Bakshi films from the '70's.

Script has been around for 10 years. I read it back in 1996. It's been retooled of course, but it's an old Jewish folk tale.

Do you know how Ben Affleck chooses his scripts?

He opens his mailbox.

Well, "The Incredibles" is pretty much a lock for Best Animated film. And it might get nominated for Best Film, which it is. I don't think it'll get a music nomination, because the score was just not very good. But sound editing, sound mixing for sure. Hopefully it'll get a nomination for writing an...

Horrible doesn't begin to explain this film

Couldn't agree more. I was at the premiere, and suffering through that pile of doggie doo and then having to be nice about it at the party afterwards was grating. It's simply a horrible movie. As a play it was shlocky fun, but the movie is horrible. Let's hope Sam Mendes doesn't screw up "Sweeny Tod...
