Has potential to be pretty funny

Looks good. Mos Def & Jack Black together = win.
This looks really good, Gondrey is a little hit and miss for me though. Loved Eternal Sunshine but hated Science of Sleep.
Looks pretty funny, but it I got a little disappointed when the trailer revealed that it wasn't a period movie. All their tapes got erased? Update you antiquated shits.
I heart Gondry, but just like everyone else I thought SoS sucked.
Is there a release date for this?

I really doubt Micheal Gondry ripped off the Amanda Show.
Who knew that the Amanda show would be so influential.
All That and the Amanda Show were terrible on a truly epic scale.
Be Kind Rewind does seem like it would have made a lot more sense in the 80s or something.
I like Gondry. He's kind of a goofy man-child. His movies reflect that, for better and for worse, but it's more good overall.
I want to like this movie but it just seems like it'll all be too forced.
<3 Eternal Sunshine <3
</3 The Science of Sleep </3It's not so much that the shows were terrible (which they were).. It was the studio audience's reaction to EVERYTHING that made me want to bomb Nickelodeon.Quote:

IBTN. It's not really an earth-shattering concept in the first place, hopefully BKRW does a better job of it.Quote:

OMG, a Jack Black movie that could actually be funny? I can't believe it.
You are correct.Quote:

This had some good scenes but was mostly pretty terrible. I'm now convinced that Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was a fluke and that Michele Gondry should stick to videos and/or short films.

I thought the movie was a lot of fun and I love the response of everyone on youtube "Sweding" their own movies. It was totally silly but it kept me laughing.
The remaking old movies parts were good, everything else wasn't. Problem is, they didn't spend that much time on it. I don't remember laughing once before they started their first film, 20 minutes in.Quote:

Just up epmode. Yore completely stupid as hell and also pocchari and a heartless asshole. The do-it-yourself is the best part about his movies, feels like a tiny, shakey voiced girl from east village constructed it herself.
i will see it on Thursday and will confirm that yore completely rong. AND YOU DIDN'T LIKE SCIENCE OF SLEEP.
I hate Science of Sleep.
science of sleep is still shrink wrapped D=
i hate you!Quote:

it did. I don't know about you but that is fucked up how that was only 8 years ago. when I was a kid I loved the Amanda Show. it was pretty rebelious. but as for Spongebob, well, that's another bowl of wax. that video took me back. but let's be clear: from 2003 on, everything just whent to hell.Quote:

It's true! Frogacuda wins this one!
He doesn't win anything but the right to keep his own opinion about this.
When I think goofy man-child I think Harmony Korine.Quote:

Fuck yeah and don't forget Out of Control. The second All That came on the network, the good old days were officially off life support and dead in the ground.Quote:

They have to release this show on DVD. Hilarious even today.
The last time i saw that show was probably 22 years ago, and yet i still vividly remember that opening. That was about as far as i ever got before my mom turned off the television because she was afraid it'd make me crazy. Same happened with anything to do with Ernest. Pee Wee was okay though!
Ernest was the jam. knowhutimean?
I was amazed when he got superpowers from the electric chair. No front.
Randall "Tex" Cobb made that movie for me.
What a crock of shit. All of Nickelodeon's shows are pretty much the same thing now. My brothers watch them. I've seen them. They're awful.Quote:

But, everybody's done the "HAY THAT'S NOT THE MOVIE THAT'S YOU" sketch. Even Upright Citizens Brigade.
Nah, 80's and 90's Nick stuff had a lot more spirit.
Compare Drake and Josh to Pete and Pete. Rugrats to Rugrats All Grown Up. Pinwheel and Eureka's Castle to Dora the Slap My Face on it and it's a Product That Will Teach Your Gringo Kids to Mispronounce Spanish Words the Explora. Doug to anything right now. Fairly Odd Parents can be entertaining sometimes, but it's no Hey Arnold!. I have to watch that shit a lot, and it just seems like somewhere along the way they stopped caring and started outsourcing trash because kids don't know better anyway. Hey Dude! was always pretty awful, and some of that animé they picked up was kind of bad, but then there was the stuff that was just full of care and craft that they're replacing with shlock like the Backyardigans.
They'd show reruns every hour of every day of the week for years and years, but at least there'd be something new that was really good every so often.
On a tangent, compare Word Girl (viewable on Youtube!) to Dora the Explorer for love of craft vs. WE'LL MAKE GRILLIONS!
But Jesus if that Kai-lan kid isn't adorable.
Upright Citizens Brigade isn't an even or an everybody. ):
[edit]
^__^ Kai-lan, wo ai ni!
b-but, she looks kind of like... Patri! OMG, I TOTALLY STATED COPYRIGHT ON MY DEVIANTART, I'M SUING.
If you're talking about Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics, I would totally buy the DVD if they'd just make it.Quote:

Whoa. I don't remember ever seeing the show, but I definitely had some of the toys.
We've gone massively off-topic, and yet the thread is living up to its title far better than talking about the actual movie would. ;)
...you had Maple Town toys?
Seriously?
Sure, what little kid doesn't have cute animal toys?
Maple Town?
He's SO LITTLE.
I remember that show.
Ah, the good old days when everything on Nickelodeon was from Canada, France, or Japan.
I'm happy i knew that was Danger Mouse and Duckula before i clicked. I love how Satanic the opening of Count Duckula is.
sorry, it's me. my cousin loved that show and i'm obligated to hate anything my cousin likes.Quote:

Danger Mouse is so great.
This thread is entirely too off topic. Please split.
And someone tell me if this movie is worth paying 10 dollars to see in a theater.
Sorry if I made it sound like I implied that. I definitely didn't mean to.Quote:

Well, that or Lori Beth Denburgh.
The man that's made so many awesome things cannot disappoint. If you liked Science of Sleep, Eternal Sunshine, and his ten-thousand music videos, I'm sure it's worth it. I know it's next on my list.Quote:

And this is coming from a guy that loves Science of Sleep.Quote:

Just got back from it.
I thought it was great. Not fantastic but really good. Definitely not as bad as some critics are making out to be.
I think anyone who grew up with weekly visits to the video store and lived in a neighborhood with a sense of community (you don't know how fucking rare this is these days) should appreciate this movie.
I shouldn't have believed it.Quote:

Overall, it sucked. What a shame…the movie could have been awesome if it had just remained a goofy comedy.
Jack Black was his usual stupid self, but Mos Def did a decent job. And the little spanish chick was cute.
So there's this show on Nick Jr. that comes on after Nihao Kai-lan, it's called Yo Gabba Gabba. It has peeps like Cornelius, Mouse on Mars, and the Aquabats, and is so ultra hip it has a toy line by Kidrobot. grawesome. since i'm white, this show appeals to me.
I wanna see that show.
next time i have to look after sick kids on school days, i'm making them watch it with me.

Also check the T2 and Back to the Future trilogy.
I'm with you on this one, no surprise. I loved the third act as much as the second, it was the first part that was mainly Jack Black being Jack Black that i didn't care for.Quote:

^____^ huggies, chao. I keep thinking about the movie. It's a movie by a guy who loves the process of making films about being in love with the process of making films.
And nearly everything else that he has ever made does a better job expressing this.
Shh... ep take off the grump face and watch something fun though, not as fun as Be Kind Rewind
Yeah, shut up epmode. negative rep for you.
Hey, Finch! I positive repped your negative rep!
