Iron Giant Screening

[tealin]

HEY THERE BAY AREA!

They're screening Iron Giant!

Allow me to register my intense envy!

Seriously, if you are available to go see it, go see it, whether you've seen it before or haven't. If you haven't, you're missing out on one of the best movies of the last 20 years. If you have, it is vastly better in the theatre than it is on DVD. And if you haven't seen it widescreen, you haven't seen it at all.

As for the rest of the country, well, we already suffer from not being San Francisco so we'll get over it. Maybe. Sigh.

I have a question-- if you've seen Iron Man, were you foricibly reminded of Iron Giant when the bad guy showed up in his suit?

I haven't seen Iron Man yet but I hear from a reliable source that the fighter jet sequence is almost shot-for-shot out of Iron Giant.

I hate not living in San Francisco. If I lived in San Francisco I might stand a chance of being hired for Mythbusters. :(

Woah, cool! I just saw it about six months ago but it's pretty much the best movie ever. I really wish I'd seen it first when I was a little younger, though.

Iron Giant was a good movie and all, but I don't consider it one of the best in the last 20 years. I don't get what's so special about it...?

Argh, I just got back from San Francisco. I won't be back until next semester. This makes me sad.

I'll pencil it in for a day trip on probably Saturday. (I live in San Jose or thereabouts) I doubt I'll make it, though, I really need to work more hours.

That film has the dubious honour of being the only animated film that ever made me cry. Seriously. When I watched Bambi, it went totally over my head that his mum had even died.

That movie still makes me cry.

I remember back in '99 there was a theater that showed movies after the original run was over for very delightfully reasonable prices. Even there popcorn was well priced, needless to say this pleased the Jew and Scot in me. My family would often go there, and one time we went and took in Inspector Gadget. Not one of us enjoyed it, not even the youngest members of our party of on ten. After it was finished we walked disgustedly out of the theater. We at in the car for about minute before in unison we all got out, ad bought some more tickets to the Iron Giant. Needless to say we left with better hopes for the future of movies.

I've already seen Iron Giant, and I do agree that it is a great film for both adults and children, yet I was never fascinated with it afterwards. Oh well, my loss.

Talk about jealous! Man they ran a marathon of it on Cartoon Network once and my sister and I watched it at least three times in a row. I'd love to see it on the big screen. Incidentally, when I first read Iron Giant on your post I thought you'd said Iron Man and was pretty confused when you claimed it was one of the best movies in 20 years.
