I'd certainly watch it again, which I can't say for all of Gondry's previous films.Jason Erik Lundberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159887257065611447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-42761061308883116532008-03-28T10:23:00.000-07:002008-03-28T10:23:00.000-07:00K: I think you'll have a great experience anyway....K: I think you'll have a great experience anyway.

I have not seen a single one of those films, e...No! I have not seen a single one of those films, except for a bit of the end of RoboCop. I think the trouble is that I wasn't old enough for these at the point that these were in the cinemas, and by the time the generation who were the right age were grown up and making films... too busy.<BR/><BR/>This is becoming a habit. I didn't see ET until I was well into my teens because I had a childhood terror of the little beastie. Nobody'd told me he was meant to be friendly. And I didn't see any Star Wars until I was 18... no special reason. Too young the first time.<BR/><BR/>And yet, and yet, I have seen a fair few films in my time... Just not these ones.<BR/><BR/>Ah well.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530845147391401083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-56167927288628148722008-03-27T19:16:00.000-07:002008-03-27T19:16:00.000-07:00k: I think you'll miss some subtle layer here and...k: I think you'll miss some subtle layer here and there if you don't know the films. You've likely seen 2001. Others are Ghostbusters, Rush Hour, Driving Miss Daisy and RoboCop.<BR/> That aside, I think you can still truly enjoy this movie.<BR/><BR/>You've seen Ghostbusters, Right? <BR/><BR/>If you haven't seen the movies, you might want to after seeing BKR. <BR/><BR/>Carl: I sure hope you get to see it. Not to worry, I think it will still be good on DVD.lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410230007560550179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-29160644346458590102008-03-27T13:47:00.000-07:002008-03-27T13:47:00.000-07:00I have desperately wanted to see this. Firstly, I...I have desperately wanted to see this. Firstly, I am an unapologetic Jack Black fan. I'm sorry, but it is true. But, the reason I have wanted to see it is because of an NPR review talking about it being a Gondry film. The reviewer's description of the film had me sold. I hope to get out to it before it leaves KC. If work and relative's poor health, etc. would just get out of my way!!! :)Carl V.

I loved <I>Eternal Sunshine</I>, so maybe I should see it. (Would one be seriously disadvantaged by not having seen all the films that are referenced?)<BR/><BR/>My husband "rescued" my Poppets from a jar I had (temporarily!) put them in, on the grounds that "They don't like it. They can't get out."<BR/><BR/>Sorry about the jury duty. I had it once for over a month - it was a bit of a pain, but in a way I was glad I'd had the experience. I wasn't prepared for the sheer indifference of certain other jury members, but overall... it was very interesting.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530845147391401083noreply@blogger.com
