The Golden Compass movie was really awful. Maybe it's notable that bad movies win Oscars? ;)

- aston 19y agoRatatouille, on the other hand, was great.
- TheTarquin 19y agoHaven't seen it. Worth renting, I take it?
- aston 19y agoIf you fall under any of the following, yes: - Pixar movie lover (in my opinion the best story so far) - Foodie (lots to geek out about) - Computer Graphics hacker (even more to geek out about)
- rglullis 19y agoMore than that, in my opinion. Ratatouille is a great movie in itself. Just like "The Incredibles", it is a film where you see fully developed characters and an interesting story without getting pseudo-intelectual over it. Also, I went to see it with my girlfriend at the time. It was a few weeks past the opening weekend, and I remember that we've noticed how few people were "taking the kids" to the movie. They were going on their own, which I took as a excellent sign that animated movies are no longer just about the cute factor. Computers are just supporting the movie, instead of being the selling point of it.
- TheTarquin 19y agoGood to know, I'll put it on my to-watch list. And you're definitely right: animated/CGed media is no longer "kids media". I think it's kind of paralleling a similar trend in comics/graphic novels no longer being "kids stuff."
- TheTarquin 19y ago" Pixar movie lover (in my opinion the best story so far)" After looking up what movies Pixar has done, I'll definitely check this one out. I remember quite liking the few I've seen. Thanks for the recommendation!
- rms 19y agoJust about every movie that got an Oscar nod is a worth a trip to The Pirate Bay. My favorites this year were Diving Bell and the Butterfly, There Will be Blood, and War/Dance.
- aston 19y agoUpmod for truth. How'd you like No Country for Old Men? I thought it was an instant classic, though in a head scratching way.
- TheTarquin 19y agoGood to know. I'll look into those. Thanks!
- TheTarquin 19y agoAgreed. It's kind of sad that it was trumpeted as being so significant for its (a)religious views. There was such a message, but it was largely lost in the noise. So not only was it not a particularly good movie, it wasn't even as controversial, interesting, or important as a lot of people wanted it to be.
- pchristensen 19y agoBest visual effects: The Golden Compass Also nominated: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Transformers I saw all three of those movies, and even though GC was supremely craptastic, its effect were beautiful. I loved Transformers and I still think GC had better visual effects.
