Escape to the Movies: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 Pages PREV 1 2 3 NEXT | |
Me too. Wasn't there supposed to be a Gotham Central-based TV show back in the day anyway? | |
So, wait we're going to compare GTA V to Breaking Bad simply because Trevor is also violent meth dealer? Yes, because clearly Breaking Bad was the show that invented the 'violent drug kingpin you don't fuck with' archetype, and everything else is just a copycat. Jeez... As for the film, I really enjoyed the first film. I thought it was a hilarious suprise bolstered by the excellent performances of everyone involved. As for this one, it seems to be carrying the trend of 2013 animation to be alright, but lacking the heart and wit of the first installment (Monsters U, Despicable Me 2). Maybe I'l check it out when I get the chance. | |
That's because its Batman this is a hero with about 20 different comic books, 15 different tv shows (BTAS, new batman adventures, justice league, justice league unlimited, the batman, batman beyond, batman the brave and the bold, whatever batman series is running now), has a part in every animated justice league movie, has more movies than any DC hero second to Superman, is getting shoehorned into the next superman movie Agents of Shield isn't an "avengers" spinoff, its a MCU spinoff. At least it has different characters and plots than just batman. | |
Aww ... :( cute puppy looks cold and sad *wraps in blanket* I like Cars as well, that help any?
Oh yes .... cause we need MORE Batman related 'stuff' out there. If it was almost any other DC character's roster, he (and me) would probably be more excited, but its just 'more Batman stuff' in a market thats already flood with Batman stuff. | |
Off-topic, I am glad Buy-my-book-Bob went for a walk with Old Yeller OT, not sure about Pixar, I like their movies but I never worshipped them. I rather spread my entertainment money around. So I'll probably pick up Meatballs 2 | |
Bob said something vaguely negative about GTA5! DESTROY HIM!!! | |
Gordon might actually be a good concept for a show if they manage to pull it off right. Gotham is a pretty interesting place and it's filled with interesting good people and bad people, but sometimes it seems like it's hard to build on that when everything is being overshadowed by Batman. If rumors are true and big name villains are going to be on the show instead of Gordon and the good cops having to stop rather generic bad guys and girls then I'm interested. Fingers crossed that unlike Arrow it's a place with meta-humans, I know Batman doesn't have a huge number of meta-humans in his rouges gallery but super hero show need a few powers sprinkled in. | |
George Carlin was in CARS?! How did I miss that? I never thought a guy like him with his rep would do a kids' movie. Then again, I had the same reaction about Sarah Silverman in Wreck-It Ralph.
If those two write for it, then that's just gravy. | |
To be totally honest I think most people have issues with their father. Some have it very seriously, others not as much but still have some issues. Also I thought the Crane and the Panda got along in Kung Fu Panda. Or are you talking about the bad guy? | |
It's probably true (if a bit depressing) about the daddy issues, but it's such a tired trope for establishing characters. It's a bit like Jim's episode a while back where he was talking about the way writers use vulnerable kids as a cheap way to create peril and emotional attachment in their stories. Kung Fu Panda - yes, they got on, but the father was still trying to hold the son back from his dreams. Another very tired cliche from the Hero's Journey playbook. | |
It was, kinda. I expected nothing from it, because it's ostensibly based on (read: shares a name and some premise with) a short children's story with little to fit the typical three-act structure of Hollywood. What I got was something that was, actually pretty good. It didn't blow me away, but it was still better than Cars. >.> The sequel didn't give me much hope either, and I'll wait for it to come to Netflix or something. But that's not beause the first was bad, just because I don't enter sequels with high hopes anymore. | |
Carlin was "Mr Conductor" on Shining Time Station (along with Ringo Starr). So you had the 10 Words You Can't Say On TV creator telling you about the escapades of Thomas the Tank Engine. After that, nothing surprised me. Plus, Denis Leary got himself a role as a taciturn but loveable cat in a line of kid movies. Nothing is sacred in Hollywood. | |
Bob, MAN, you have GOT to do a Breaking Bad Big Picture episode, mainly on the finale which by Vince Gillian standards WILL leave everyone with open mouths! | |
Does anyone else want bob to quit it with the terrible boston ahccent? Pixah. I know he lives there, but his earlier videos didn't have ah trace of the second most irritating aaccent in aall the English language (first being the stereotypical Brooklyn accent). Shit is distracting, ahdds nothing to the presentation and makes it ahll the more distracting from whatevah point he's tryin'a convey becahse we know he can spake without it. It's like he's a cross between a boston mobster movie character and new england version of foghorn leghorn. | |
Carlin was also Rufus in the Bill and Ted movies. And Denis Leary was a Ladybug in A Bug's Life. | |
Marvel has overexposed superheros too, but not to the same extent as Batman at this point. Hell the first episode of Agents of Shield didn't have any known superheroes in it. Which let's it add to the universe instead of trying to cash in on it. | |
Yeah, but I never think of Bill and Ted as kid's movies. Didn't know the second one, though. | |
Cars was an amazing and deep movie dealing with the death of small town America and actually going into some of the reasons why smaller roadside towns vanished. Cars 2 was a stupid cash grab. | |
I still make that mistake. I recently looked back at some elementary english tests I have in my memory box, turns out I was taught that way.... I wonder if that was an issue for other people considering alot/a lot is one of the more common mistakes seen in casual writing. | |
Probably. The US Education system is shit at teaching writing. And pretty much everything else. | |
After he gives us the Jaberjaw episode he teased us with one time only to go straight to beating the "sexism in gaming" horse past the dirt and into the earth's mantle and giving that person who shall not be named far more attention than she deserved. also this thread has caused me to make at least 3 visits to IMDB just to see if so and so actually really did play that part! for example Dennis Leary was in a bug's life, as was Kevin Spacey. Holy Crap!
that is just. . . adorable. poor critter. here, have some warm blankets! | |
i love your videos bob but you need to pick an accent. i'm cool with either, but not both at the same time | |
God damn; I think you're talking faster then Yahtzee now. I had to press replay more then once to catch up, until the less-than-30 blanket summerization at the end made my efforts a waste of time. Was this review rushed perhaps? Sounds like how i'd format an essay at the very last minute. Well anyway. Fun movie, despite the stretch for a sequel premise. Not much more to say about it though. It sure is September. ...Now that I think about it, that's probably why his review was as such. | |
I think "Buy my book!" should turn into a full Simpsons-style couch gag. The one in this episode was actually pretty funny, and I reckon you can probably come up with more. | |
I'll agree with that. That was a great comic series and it could make for an enjoyable tv show. As for Pixar, they may not always come up with the best movies, but Pixar at their worst is still better than most. I've never seen Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, but now I'm kind of intrigued. Maybe I'll have to check out both. | |
Oh boy, this is going to blow your mind then: (He appears in person too around 4:00 or so) OT: I didn't know the first Cloudy was actually good, I guess I'll give it a watch to see if I want to follow it up with the sequel. EDIT: Hell, someone beat me to it, though visual aids never hurt. | |
Wow, the accent was really hard today, pixaahh. | |
Dear God, thank you for pointing out how dumb the LifeInvader thing was in GTA V. | |
I saw it on cartoon network, and yeah it's a surprisingly good movie. | |
I don't hate Brave, it was just bland and forgettable. Honestly when they were announcing Best Animated Picture at the Oscars I had totally forgotten that Brave existed until it beat Wreck it Ralph (which was a shame). | |
Sorry movie bob but i cant keep watching your videos. Your boston douche-bag accent has become simply insufferable. P.S. The Red Sox sux. | |
Congratulations. I know a lot of people hate Bob for various reasons, but yours has to be the stupidest reason I've seen so far. | |
Being owned by Disney, rather than being a small independent company with its own vision, perhaps? | |
I dunno, somebody needs to do it, to counter the horribly gushing 10/10 reviews and fanboyism about it. It's actually a very disappointing and boring game, which I really regret purchasing. It's about as fun as driving to the supermarket to buy groceries. | |
Absolutely not. I love the accent, and want more of it, rather than him trying to mask his natural way of speaking. I think if you try to censor something as fundamental as your accent, you'll also end up censoring what you say. I'd rather hear his real words. | |
