That's why I said "main-stream". Elsa and Anna were both just horrible people, and that's a huge problem for me. That takes away from the story, and it diminshes what all of the involved characters are doing, because for me, it's really hard to relate or care about shitty people. That added with the lack of a real antagonist, weak supporting cast ( I know you said you liked Olaf, but I really just don't get why anyone would think he or Kristoff were anything better than tolerable), and what I thought was a below average soundtrack, just made for a very lacking movie experience for me.

So that and then yes, the insane amount of hype, did most likely ruin it even more for me. Everything was blowing up for months before I finally sat down and watched the movie by myself and it just didn't hit anything for me. It got I think 2 half-chuckles out of me, a couple times where I turned down the volume because of a terrible song and the rest was me sitting and staring blankly and hoping it would end soon.



Moving passed frozen, did you see inside out?


10/10 easily for me. It was very original and creative.

Not yet, I've heard good things and I am excited to see it.

I've honestly been slacking pretty hard on watching movies lately. I went to the theater to see Black Mass, which I enjoyed, but I hadn't seen anything else there since MI. I usually just download/burn movies, but I've been out of DVDs and haven't bothered picking up more yet. I have a big monitor, but I feel like watching movies on my actual TV (46in in the room), is just so much better and makes good movies better than if I had watched it on my 25in Monitor.

Black mass was good but not awesome, a modest 8/10. It lacked a big climax but I understand that it was more of a documentary movie and I'm sure they didn't want to add something that didn't belong.

The Martian and sicario both came out this weekend and rated extremely well but I'll wait until they are available on Netflix.

I'd go see Sicario > The Martian. I've got high hopes for both, but I feel like the Martian will be wayyyyy too slow at points, and that doesn't generally make for a good theater experience for me. Not that I need explosions or action non-stop, but I just feel like at least an hour of it is going to be slow as hell and I'd rather watch it at home, be able to pause and use the restroom and eat at will while enjoying it.

Black Mass was good, not great. Depp however was fantastic in it, which is what I was hoping for. Just only have so much you can with the climax when you're following how it actually happened. I felt like in the interview portions, they tried to make him sound a lot more badass, big time, or whatever than he really was. I thought overall, they did a great job with what they had. I know a lot of it was fabricated, but I still really enjoyed it.

:wallbash:

I just don't understand. The music is God awful in frozen, that's not up for debate and its why 7 yr old girls with the absolute worst taste in music enjoy it. What character is likeable? Both girls act like selfish idiots the entire movie, the guy is an idiot and the snowman is just fucking annoying.

I'm not one of those people who dislikes something because it's popular and I love animated movies that are well done. Frozen was just a bad movie and I get why little girls enjoy it, but it's unfathomable to me that any adult could be stupid enough to think it's anything other than below average.


Wow you're such a prune.
The snowman was awesome in Frozen.

The Martian was plenty enjoyable
All the points that would normally be slowly they just put in comedy

Here's a tip...
Just use a USB and use that for your TV

I didn't know people still burned CDs. lol

I have external harddrives loaded with movies I can just use on my TV
Which I don't anyway, since I watch them on my PC.

Ya.... I know how to use a computer. I also don't have an hdmi port for my shit desktop, so sol there. I could have my boss buy me a new laptop and write it off, but I hate asking for handouts.

You don't need HDMI on your desktop...
You use a USB for your TV.
If your TV doesn't have a USB adapter you can buy like a $10 DVD player that has one.
