Toy Story 2 (Special Edition) Own on DVD No snacks Great movie as always and the transfer on both this and the recently released Toy Story 1 are incredible! In comparison with my older copies (from the box set from '99 I believe), they are cleaner and crisper! It's amazing... I am not sure the average consumer is going to see a difference between the the two, but with my setup, it is just beautiful to watch... It was definitely worth it for me to 'double-dip' these DVD selections...

Speaking of bad movies I watched: The Skeleton Key Rental Something about voodoo or whatever. Didn't hold my interest at all. King Kong, the comedy version AMC right now This is supposed to be a comedy, right?

There must be something wrong with me this weekend because this is the 2nd movie I was really looking forward to watching and was disappointed by.

King Kong(again) and this one.

One thing I love about this thread is that is shows us that we all have personal, idiosyncratic reations to most films. If you didn't find "Neverland" and other movies as compelling as others have... oh, well. It's too bad that you didn't get as much enjoyment as you'd believed you would. But, in the cosmic sense, that's okay.

Originally Posted By Lisann22 Brokeback Mountain Movie House Coke I really enjoyed this movie and was very sad when it was over. First off, the film is absolutely beautiful when they are on Brokeback Mountain. The scenary is gorgeous. The characters of Jack and Ennis are very complex and such opposites in who they are and how accepting they are of this relationship. Heath Ledger gives an outstanding performance and Jake Galleyahoweveryouspellit is almost too pretty to be called handsome. Both their performances are excellent but Ledger gives a gut wrenching protrayal of Ennis. The real standouts in the movie are played by the wives. Their reactions, grief and love is so intense and right on the mark in my opinion. I know that some gay men will probably have a problem with some parts of the film. Not to give to much away, I'll wait for their reviews. It's not perfect, it's not how every relationship is but I think it was an important story to be shared. Two thumbs up from Lisann22 and her mama.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Fun with Dick and Jane Local theater popcorn and water I liked it, laughed at parts and generally enjoyed it.

The Santa Claus The Santa Claus 2 Home Alone The Christmas Story Own the DVD's various dinners and snacks throughout the week Love them all. I now have successfully fallen asleep at one point through every Christmas movie we have watched this year. Also, Elf, Christmas Eve on Sesame Street and another one I can't even remember. Once I have seen a movie my brain goes on auto pilot and I zone. Rest of the family is throughly engaged over and over and over and over. Snooooore.
Originally Posted By Ursula Lisa, question for you on Brokeback. Did you have issues with the dialogue at all? As in hearing it? Some of my mixers here were a bit, how doesn one say...miffed that they used unknowns to mix this movie and they were complaining that in some parts, the words were difficult to make out due to muddling of background noises. Chances are, I won't see this movie, so I was wondering if it's true or if my guys are just sour that they couldn't work on this feature.

It's an important piece of the story in that it was the 70's and cowboys are um, macho, they weren't exactly capable of being open with their relationship in Wyoming. Ursula - I can't say I had a hard time hearing any of the dialogue. I can think of one scene down by the river that my mom turned to me and asked what did he say.

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter "The Family Stone" local theatre Raisinettes Loved, loved, LOVED this movie! It was far better than I expected--stellar performances by everyone except Dermot Mulroney, whom I find to be kinda one-note in everything I've seen him in. It's worth noting that Sarah Jessica Parker really irritates me ordinarily, and I thought she was phenomenal in this film.
Originally Posted By Ursula You are a better woman than I am, Miss G! I can't stand that woman no matter how nice people say she is. I swear, she looks like a foot and I can't get past that. DDman- I don't get to actually work on or in the movies; I sort of work around them. I schedule ADR and Foley stages for the people who work in and on the movies. From time to time, I do get lucky and they need a female voice for ADR so I gladly go down to the stage for a laugh. My crews, though, have worked on pretty much a lot of stuff, for example, we held the score mix for King Kong. My guys have won Oscars for Chicago and Blackhawk Down. We also do TV shows, too. We are currently on Eight Below, Stranger Than Fiction, Little Miss Sunshine, and Final Destination 2.
