Strangely attracted to this animated film...just saw the trailer on Nothing But Trailers, wanted to share.

graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi turned movie. black and white animation, score looks fabulous if it includes what it did on the trailer i saw on TV...digging the music on the website too, subtitles

trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWTIuEGUncU

fabulous

Went to make the thread but already been done i see...

saw the trailer for it when i was seeing juno, it looks like it will be a great film and it luckily appears like it will follow book in style and story (not a fan of taking a film, play, ect and changing the whole thing in order to gain mass apeal for the big screen)

YEAH!

I saw this a couple of weeks ago and it is really really good. I did think that it got a tad self indulgent on her personal story to the detriment of what was going around her. Particularly towards the end. But overall this is a very minor criticism. The animation is unique and strangely powerful. It is also one of the first animated films I have seen to liberally use the word "cunt". (other than Finding Nemo)

If you can watch it in French, I suggest you do. I know there is a dubbed version but that is sacrilege.

every time i see this thread title, I think of the old DOS game Populous

2/7/2008 3:18:14 AM

yeah. i watched it few weeks ago. it is great, funny and touching B&W animation. really stylish!

2/7/2008 9:34:29 AM

I liked it.

I thought it'd be a little heavier, but it was refreshingly not so.

2/10/2008 7:39:07 PM

Read the first book tonight while stuck in an airplane on the runway. Hopefully I'll get to read the second one before I see the movie this week.

2/10/2008 11:29:51 PM

I really want to see this.

2/11/2008 1:09:23 AM

ha ha, I saw when the author was on Colbert, they showed a short clip of the movie

Girl in movie: ABBA is for wimps!

Colbert: Some truths are universal

LOLOL

i gotta say, your lineup at galaxy right now might be the most solid top to bottom ive seen at one time there

do you know if juno and/or atonement are going to be playing still this weekend?

2/11/2008 5:40:20 PM

Dunno, but they'll at least be here until Thursday.

My guess is that we'd keep them since they're both nominated for Oscars, but I don't really know what new movies we may have lined up.

2/11/2008 5:50:24 PM

right. im coming into town to see the gal-pal and we were thinking of going to see one of them.

2/11/2008 5:53:42 PM

It will still be at Galaxy. Jon or I will post showtimes as soon as we know.

2/11/2008 6:15:08 PM

The showtimes for Friday at Galaxy is 1:00, 5:25, 7:30, 9:35

2/11/2008 11:56:47 PM

i'm probably going to go see this

2/16/2008 1:57:19 PM

geez, this or there will be blood

2/17/2008 7:04:40 PM

you should see both but if you had to make a choice see there will be blood first

So if you didn't catch this in theatres, it's playing at NC Museum of Art June 28th...it's one of their outdoor movies this year. starts @ 9:00! $3, bring a chair or blanket

6/20/2008 11:43:56 AM

went to the art museum to see this

very entertaining, and i laughed a good amount

though the ground isn't so soft out there

6/28/2008 11:31:55 PM

always get there early

sit in the sandbox and get a little toasted

6/28/2008 11:55:34 PM

that's exactly where i sat and what i did

6/29/2008 12:19:51 AM

I read the book, and it was nothing but Holy Crap and Sad.
Of course, this was right after jaw surgery, so maybe it was awesome and the drugs were screwing me up.
