    I thought it was dreadful, though I did laugh twice, once at the start and once when I wasn't supposed to. :) I hadn't read anything about it as I knew it wasn't my thing and I had no interest in it. I knew it had a talking bear and was considered funny but I was under the impression it was a kids film, lol, with light adult humour - so I spent the first 15 minutes being quite surprised as i'm sure you can imagine. :lol:



Amazingly, many, many parents and grandparents thought the same thing only to be surprised when they went to get tickets with their kids (or unfortunately actually made it into the theatre...).


How awful! When it properly started, on the sofa with the bong, I was thinking 'thats a bit much for kids' - then Ted started swearing and I was like 'this is a kids film?!' - lol, it was very confusing.

Django Unchained exceeded my expectations too. I didn't hype it at all and watched it in the cinema this weekend. Great, great movie.


I just watched Mr Nobody on your recommendation, interestingly complex, very well done. The scientific undertones, string theory, chaos theory and the space-time continuum are rl interests of mine (quantum physics) and held the film together nicely. I enjoyed it.

Have you seen 'Moon' with Sam Rockwell?

I haven't seen Django Unchained yet and being the curious type I read all your and Attelsos spoilers, lol, I was deliberately waiting to see it for reasons of my own but now i'm obviously curious with regard to your conflicting views of the ending, so looks like i'll have to see it this wkend now. :lol:

You don't watch many films do you. :)

Moon is a great flick! I really enjoy slow and strange movies like that. Always on the lookout for more similar movies.
I never managed to figure out something clever for my signature on Paradoxplaza, and I doubt I'll do it here either.

I liked Mr Nobody as well. It's a pity almost noone knows this movie thought :(

I also liked "Time traveler's wife". It's a nice take on time travels, which concentrates not as much on those, as on their impact on life of 2 people.

Also, there was a movie about a guy who never grew old and lived for thousands of years, always hiding his trait. The movie itself was one big conversation between the guy and his friends. No action, only talking. I can't recall the title though

The Man from Earth - 2007 - I forget the director but it was written by J. Bixby.

I read The Time Travelers Wife before watching the film, which spoilt it slightly, I did the same with The lovely Bones, but both were good films. The books though were excellent.

Mind hunters was good, trying to figure it out is difficult. It is a mystery horror. Someone is killing them with creative traps, but who?

The best time travel movie to date is Primer.

It is by far the most logical of time travel movies and doesn't have any special effects. It is a low budget indie movie but widely recognized as such.

I mean that they got his wife as they planned, only difference is that it cost they more money than expected. Which they could easily make back being bounty hunters. And then what happens? He basicly commits collective suicide because the guy wants to shake his hand. Completly disregarding that Django and his wife probably also would die in the process, instead of just shaking his hand and taking his revenge another day


Ok, seen it now. Loved it. It couldn't have ended any other way tbh. :)

Django spoiler.
Shultz could no more shake Candy's hand than he could have set those dogs on a man to rip him to shreds, in his shoes, i'd have done the exact same thing. He knew in that instance that Django could handle the immediate danger (the men in the room) - "they will call you the fastest gun in the south". As for what happened next I'm guessing there wasn't enough time to think that far ahead.
All that said however, I fully get how you see it and I doubt you are the only one but honestly it would have completely spoilt the film if Shultz had shook his hand, when you knew enough about him, to know he couldn't.
