admit it. 'm a sucker 4 some child-centric movies (Golden Compass, Narnia, Harry Potter, etc.). Which is 1 of the reasons I agreed 2 go C this movie 2night.

It's just another post-apocolyptic movie that takes place sometime in the near future. The human race has launched an all out nuclear war and in order 2 protect future generations, several lucky folks R sent deep inside the earth's crust 2 an artificial city called Ember. The city is powered by a generator that is designed 2 last 200 years, at which point it should be safe 4 humans 2 come back up 2 the surface of the planet and repopulate it.


The story takes place after the 200 years is over, and somehow the instructions, along with all memories of the planet before it R lost.
2 children, realizing that Ember is dying decide 2 embark upon an adventure 2 escape from Ember.

It's a theme 've seen done several times in books, etc. etc.
BUt this movie is rather charming. It evokes a certain childhood lust 4 aventure in me. found myself really enjoying the entire thing, including Bill Murray's genius character (the mayor of Ember).

Thumbs motherfuckin' up



Do U have any movie folks may have not seen that you'd like to recommend?

At very least, this should get you moved to P m&m.


But I love you intensely.. SIDEBAR: Not attending school in the AM....but want to veg to 10... catch up time. ( After that)

Sounds like a plan!

Cafe' Americano please, ... black, cause you know I like it dark sided.....

Imago said:

Well, judging by the spirited response to this thread, I can assume everybody will rush out to the theaters and see this film

Imago said:

I actually was really intrigued by the trailer. Perhaps after my visit to urgent care today, I'll go check it out.

WHAT THE HELL

R U OK?!?!?!?!?!

Is that somebodys crossed legs in your avater, looks like a cool movie..and The Red Lantern.

Imago said:

I'm OK. My tonsils are taking up most of my throat and have spots on them. I figured it would go away with rest and liquids and such, but it hasn't. I have a cough and am all stuffed up, so I didn't think it was strep just a cold or virus or whatever, but it's unusual for it to last this long (today is day 6). So now I should probably get some antibiotics.
I hate going to the doctor. It's far too expensive.

Have them removed! God forbid you get so sick that you can't move giving SugarGirl the opportunity to..... maker her move

You're sick again? Sorry to hear that. I could have sent you a few Darias to keep you entertained.
It must be election-related stress, in case the Republicans steal it again. Don't worry, like I said before, you could claim political asylum here.

I see Imago's already got his plan to escape to Wales in place. And speaking of which:

I need you to stop creating threads.

PopeLeo said:

awww... Thanks. I've actually been watching it all week on youtube. The entire series and both movies are there, carefully disguised from a regular search. ( ) I'm on season 5, most of which I haven't seen before.

And yes, I will totally be seeking asylum in a few weeks if things don't go well.

I'm ditching school and reading the sunday paper in bed. Still not feeling well myself. I think you may need an antibiotic CArrie.

CarrieMpls said:

I finished them all last week. Nice trip down memory lane.

I'd love to believe the polls but I don't think it's all wrapped up yet. Between election fraud and unspoken racism in some of the swing states, it wouldn't hurt to have your bags packed.
And if civil war breaks out, don't connect to Dublin through Boston - two million people will not fit on the one plane.

Now if you only knew someone 10 mins from the airport with a spare room...

Watch out, I'll totally take you up on it!

I've read the book and really enjoyed it. Is the movie as great?

emilia1 said:

I've not read the book so I'm not sure.
The movie was great though. I love the magical feel to the entire place.

In truth, I went to watch it as a collaborative effort amongst friends to choose a movie we could all agree on. I wanted to see "The Dutches", but that was just too gay to win out.

Imago said:

lol you should read the book, i really enjoyed it. Then follow it up with The People of Sparks, 2nd one is amazing! Can't wait for that one to hit the big screen

emilia1 said:

I totally am. I want to know what happens to everyone else.

Carnival of Souls.

released in 1962, this movie is a precursor to Sixth Sense, The Others, and a host of other similar 'modern' horror films.

suprisingly the book is really short too. Great read!

I'm going to see this today!
