Every now and then it tricks you into thinking it might be cleverer than it is but then it shows itself up again by royally sucking.
I read it in one sitting just to get it over and done with. |

I read DVC last summer. It's just like McDo, eat fast, tastes good at the moment but leaves a bad taste in the mouth, makes you fart and shit two hours after. |

Funny, that's exactly what I hate about the book. Every 2 lines I read something so badly written it makes me cringe. Maybe it's just a problem of bad translation, it often happens, but I doubt it's the only cause. The dialogs are horribly cliché and the narration is full of mistakes. I always go back in the book to check if the action is coherent and there are a lot of illogical things. On the back of my mind: the girl is shown the photography of her dead grandfather at the police station, it's said she "just had a glance at the picture and turned away", and 2 pages later she pulls out of her pocket the photography. The inspector finds who he thinks is the murderer, he takes him to the scene of the crime in the Louvre museum, and then decides to leave him ALONE for 15 MINUTES in the toilets with no chance to know what the guy's doing except for a ricidulous GPS chip! The alarm is set off in the museum, they shut it off during the investigation, then everyone leaves and no one thinks of putting the alarm system back on? And if the writer did some research on the works of DaVinci and all, he obviously forgot to visit the city in which he situates his story... The guys manage to escape a police car chase on the Elysian Fields! Hello!! It's a straight avenue, there's absolutely no way to hide! Later on they manage to have a 10-page long conversation during a car ride that lasts no more than 3 or 4 blocks... Sorry, but I won't buy his conspiracy theories if none of the things I do know about are accurate.

A very long engagement
Une long dimanche de fiancelles
was a great movie. And is considered to be one of the best Great War pictures. A teachter at my university said that she has seen loads of world war one movies, but this is the one that has the most realistic scenes (not talking about the story here). She is a master if not professor (have to check that one) in Historical Visualisation, she knows what she's talking about

"dVC" isn't a bad book; it's well written, it moves at a good pace, and the story is planned out well. The big problem is that the author can't resist filling it with all kinds of educational information that is meant to surprise you and make you feel like you're not just reading popular fiction, you're learning things. It bothered me but I have a feeling that's why a lot of people like it.

I'm currently reading Da Vinci Code. It's so badly written it nearly gave me nausea this morning. It's stupid, unrealistic and retarded. It's supposed to have a great story but I read 130 pages and absolutely nothing has happened. This book is the litterary equivalent to a Celine Dion record.

AMELIE was so friggin' "cute" that I couldn't stand it for more than a half hour or so. I had to shut it off.
I don't know how it ends, but I hope it ends with Amelie dying a brutal, agonizing death. |

burton has been washed up since ed wood
but big fish was a sweet little film - charlie will suck
and i love amelie and i think the da vinci code was made to do one thing: fly by. and because it is flying by, you are tricked into thinking it is exciting and good. when it is just going quickly. i didn't hate it, but didn't love it

Posted - 01/24/2005 : 15:24:18
Oh Speedy M, how you get the blood flowing. "Smell you later forever"? Soooo Ralph Wiggum.
Anyway, I too am a big Burton fan, but I'm just tired of seeing the same thing. Willy Wonka, one of my all time favorites, is a classic piece of cinema not to be tampered with. I guess if Tim takes it in a different direction, it could be accepted. It wouldn't be difficult either, mostly because the original deviates so much from the Dahl work that the two can be considered completely different works. What I would have preferred to have seen would have been a Burton interpretation of The Great Glass Elevator (although I think I read somewhere, perhaps imdb?, that Dahl wouldn't allow the rights of the book to be sold because of his discontent with the first film). I agree with Floop, the movie will be aesthetically stunning, as is all Burton work, and I look forward to an Elfman score, but c'mon, don't screw with the classics.
Corpse Bride just looks like a re-hashed Nightmare Before Christmas, if you ask me. I really haven't looked too much into the film, so I'm just basing that statement on the trailer alone. Granted, I'm sure I'll catch it, but as of now I look at it with a bit of disdain.
Anyway, alls I'm saying is that the two had crappy looking trailers, or at least that’s what I think.

Oh yes, Sir Rock can consider himself severly burned. And that conversation is SO over. After a brief frlitation with "forum pal" status in the glorious Arcade Fire thread, where we exchanged great AF related links and generaly KRCW gushery, he pulls this Tim Burton crap. Don't be dissin' on Timbo. Cause then you get seared.
And I have to agree, I think his version will be great, but can anything be better? I mean, who ever heard of a snozzberry? |
| floop |
Posted - 01/24/2005 : 14:51:51
ps. "smell ya later" is a serious burn! that's always a good way to get the last word in on an argument. because once you say "smell ya later" it's pretty much over after that. the other person left with no choice but to endure the searing humiliation

i love Tim Burton, but moreso for his smaller films. i'll go see anything he makes, but i can already predict what CHARLIE is going to be like.. it'll have amazing visuals, and probably some funny moments.. but ultimately it will not, and could not, compare to the original.

Well, once again the Sir was mistaken. Floop, when you said "as much as i respect the filmmakers, and love DELICATESSEN, i am hard pressed to see a film titled A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT..", I took it to mean that you couldn't find any such film on the internet with that title. That would explain my posting the trailer. My bad.
While on the subject of poor looking trailers, both of Tim Burton's new films look pretty crummy from the trailers alone. Corpse Bride was just released a few days ago and looks pretty disappointing, and then there is the Willy Wonka trailer, which just looked peiced together; not very well done. And its not like I'm not a Burton fan. On the strength of these trailers alone, these films look shoddy at best.

Yeah, bad trailer is enough for me. People REALLY have to rave about it to make me see a movie with a bad trailer. In my opinion, if you can't even cut together a good 30 sec - 1 min segment about your movie, how good could the movie be. Reviews I tend to largely ignore unless it seems unanimous across the board. But when they print "Person X said 'Generic praise!'" on the box, it's ignored. There's always someone (Joel Siegel) that'll praise anything. A bad title is similar to a bad trailer, except it says more about the writer to me than the movie.
I don't think I'd go see A Very Long Sunday Engagement either.

you have a point, but RABBIT PROOF FENCE, while having a bad title.. didn't have a horrible trailer, and doesn't have bad reviews.
1 out of 3 as opposed to the 3 out of 3 that AVLE scores

The French title is "Un Long Dimanche de Fiançailles", how do you translate that, let's say "A Long Engagement Sunday"? That sounds weird. Anyway.
I haven't seen Amelie.
I haven't seen A Very Long Engagement either.
I haven't read Da Vinci Code.
I don't like Audrey Tautou even though I haven't seen any of her movies. Oh yeah, I saw L'Auberge Espagnole which sucked.

i'm not saying i wouldn't have intercourse with her. i just thought her acting bugged in AMELIE (classicly overrated film).. i hated the whole looking at the camera thing. it worked in FERRIS BEULERS DAY OFF and other films.. in this is just annoyed me.
as much as i respect the filmmakers, and love DELICATESSEN, i am hard pressed to see a film titled "A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT"..
could they have thought of a worse title?
maybe "THIS MOVIE WILL BE LOOOOOOOONNNNG AND BOOOOOOORRRRING"
