Title: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Post by: jjjjjjjjjj on September 20, 2009 02:39 AM
Just came back from watching it
It was really good
Over the top especially the ending
The style is great
Go watch it

Also the ending credits were in 2D
if you liked Clone High it sort of has the same humor in a sense
cuz its by the same guys who directed it

the trailer looked like shit and in any case i'm offended by how horribly they raped the original book

it may be a good movie in its own right but i resent being sold a movie adaptation that is so different from its source material

haha oh wow thats the gayest reason ive read
'hurr durr raped the source material for a 10 page book derp'
things like the watchmen movie are great because of the little added things in the beginning credit scene, which was the best part of the movie and wasnt even in the book at all
its like not going to see a remake because it isn't scene for scene to the orignal
look at the original charlie and the chocolate factory and see how that barely stays close to the source material which is now one of the most memorable movies of all time, and yet the remake with tim burton though stayed more true to the book wasnt that great or timeless as the orignal

also the author gave his blessings to the movie i dont know if thatll mean anything to you but there you go

it looks like shit and im not going to watch it
and do you know what ill be missing in my life

a forgettable kids film about cheese falling from the sky

also jseed the changes you mention are small
watchmen had COOL OPENING CREDITS WOW THEY DIDNT HAVE COOL OPENING CREDITS IN THE BOOK!!! and in charlie and the chocolate factory they edited a whole 10 pages of the book big whup

this movie just takes the concept of food falling from the sky and makes a completly different plot out of it
Title: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Post by: funzop on September 21, 2009 03:27 AM
its like writing a tribute album for a band
you can do crazy things with your tribute song like add a line or play it in a different genre of music

but youre not going to rewrite a song about the same thing the original was about and call it a "tribute"

the opening credits were not in the book no what I meant to say was the things that they added INTO the opening credits
like the deaths of the superheros or the silk spectre's retirement
ok ill give you another great example
John carpenters "The Thing"
Stayed only a bit true to the plot but became a completly different story and made the monster different from what it orignally was
and it was better than the original
james and the giant peach changed ALOT of things
Stardust as well

im pretty sure the retirement of silk spectre and the deaths of the heros were implied in the original book
i dunno i might be crazy but isnt there a part where rorschach talks about what happened to all the old heros
i never saw the thing so i wouldnt know
james and the giant peach kept a lot of it the same as well though

if youve ever read the original you would know
1. its a shitty book
2. theres no real main character its just "once upon a time food fell from the sky then it stopped the end"

Quote from: jjjjjjjjjja tribute is not an adaptation
ok then say i was adapting a book about a boy and girl falling in love after meeting in a magic green field with an evil witch trying to keep them apart
i wouldnt make the movie set on mars and make the witch shoot lasers from her electric guitar and ice cream fly out her eyes

you dont actually see it in the comics though it was referenced it wasnt actually seen or shown

it was never shown in the comic it was just referenced and the parody of the soldier kissing the nurse during the world war was not in the comic too

Post by: shura on September 22, 2009 09:34 PM
i think im still reluctant to see it just because the character designs are so ugly. everyone has the same exact face or a big phallic looking nose
im sure its better than the trailer makes it look, but i still think the story looks bad. i dont have an issue with them modifying the story since there wasn't that much to work with in the first place, but i definitely think they could have thought of something more creative for a plot/main character. an inventor just seems really generic

also j, you're right that some movies have had better plots than their original sources, but just look at shit like the Dragonball Z movie, which completely raped the original plot and characters. i can think of a million other movies that have done this as well.
but whatever if its getting good reviews than its probably not that bad

well human charchters usually do look generic in most CG animated films especially like say Shrek or the humans from Wall-e
also not all the charachters look the same especially the mayor in the film and Flint's dad
most cgi movies dont have humans in them anyways
and what does that last thing you wrote have to do with anything i never denied that I just said that movies can do something well with the source material while completly changing the plot and making it better and stay true in a way to the source we get it thats what this whole thread was about did you not even read it

or friends at all. i watched this moster and aliens movie with a few friends of mine (+brother and friends of his) and we're all 18+, it was fun

anyways, thanks for the links jseed, I checked them out, they're all the same video file but on different websites. Sadly that video file has extremely bad quality, and after a while, you hear the sound before you see them talking. Kind of gay but thanks anyways.
I'll just wait for a DVD Rip.
