every disney movie from 1995 to now.
they all had great storys good casting and nice animation but in every one of them they put like a subliminal message of like an after school program of beliveing in your self and treating others with respect and to me it was like a the more you know commercials in the middle of a really good book it just ruined the whole thing for me. and romantic comedys it had a good plot but the rest was horrible every one was the same , they meet they fall in love they fall apart the they get back together with this cheesey i was wrong and you were right speach( in every one ) and then they end up with a kiss. I would have loved it if it didnt repeat them selves over and over again.

and ps i know you said series but the guy that came up with the idea said ladyhawlk so i thought that movies would count to

atleast Im somethin in the world

The alien touch in AI was over the top, in fact that was what made the movie memorable to me.
I agree, almost great, but not quite there.

Kill Bill 1 & 2
should have been one movie, with an editor who was ruthless

to go back to ancient history: The Cotton Club would have been a brilliant film if they had made Gregory Hines' story the main one, and cut every single scene with Richard Geer...it would have been shorter too.

Charmed, IMO (obviously), was really a good show in the first couple of seasons, when Pru added some dramatic tension and they actually saved innocents. Now all three girls want to be all nice all the time, they all dress up in silly costumes, and the only people they save are each other.... I say kill all the writers on that show and hire some people with a little imagination. But I'll admit I was watching last night to see Cole return (taking a break from the Nip/Tuck Hell dimension I'm guessing).

When were there aliens in "AI"? I remember at the end that the little bugwart from "The Sixth Sense" was sitting in a vehicle of some sort, a helicoptor maybe? And then he was talking to robots. They were sort of the descendents (sp?) of the robots made when people were still around, but definitely NOT aliens.

I would have LOVED this movie, except for one single flaw:

It sucked. Immensely.

I guess it wasn't as memorable as my memory made it seem, I remember aliens, but I only saw it once when I rented it l a t e at night a long time back. Didn't like it 'nuff to do it again, I'll take your word for it.

Embers, your right, Kill Bill would have been an enjoyable fast-paced piece of fluff if it had been one movie. As it is I've seen 'em once and that's more than enough for this lifetime.

Don't draw it out Chrisisall

If I understand what you're saying, I think I agree about romantic comedies. I find them too locked into formula. Meet cute. Fall in love. Misunderstanding and break up. Pine away for each other. Reconcile.

The reason I really liked "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" was that it wasn't afraid to break with the formula. There was a moment where the friend of the male lead was trying to drive a wedge between him and the female lead by asking "are you just going to let her lead you around like that?" Classic moment where the male lead is supposed to start having doubts... heading for the breakup. But the lead just say, "... ummm, yeah!"

So refreshing.

Hang on while I pull the DVD from the library (why did I buy it when I hate it? It's great until the ending and I'm a massive Kubrick fan).

Ok - scene selection........frozen twin towers........alien lookin' things......

Hang on - they're acting very robotic all right..... yeah, I think you're right - fuck.

That kind of makes the movie a little better actually, maybe it's just misunderstood, I mean the bear is probably still the best thing in it but maybe the movie isn't as stupid as I thought it was.

Honestly, it's the only thing I really retained from the flick, that the robots evolved hugely...

Yes, the movie IS as stupid as you thought it was, infact it's stupider than you thought... this movie was, essentially, awful. And boring. And pointless. And dumb. And poopy. And cakka.

I don't know - that evolution thing seriously changes everything I thought about it - for now anyway.

I'm gonna watch some Buffy series 5 and read my Finding Serenity tonight so I'm not going to sit down and rewatch AI right this second but I will make time for it at some point.

It's really rare that I don't "get" a movie and I didn't "get" this one appartantly - it's far to easy for me to blame Steven "the Beard" Speilberg for that but no - I will watch again. (and hate anew?)
