Ugh. Sick again. Sucks.

[miauw62]

Yeah, gimp is really hard to work with, but insanely powerful.

I finally saw Frozen, and I feel like all the hype made me enjoy the movie less than I could have. I watched it and Brave back to back, and IMO, Brave was the better movie.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It seems like the movie was supposed to be longer than it actually was. Several conflicts seem rather hastily resolved in the last 10 minutes. Hans' heel face turn comes completely out of nowhere and by the time he reveals himself, he doesn't really get to do much in the way of villainy before he's brought down. Even his motivations seem to change at the last minute just to make his reveal more shocking for the audience. Even the Duke of Weasleton is a more effective villain, and he's just a walking Disney villain stereotype.
The entire resolution seems to come out of nowhere, as well. Elsa finds out that love is what breaks her spell, and suddenly she can control her magic completely, despite not being able to her entire life. You mean to tell me that for her entire life, Elsa never felt love for anyone she knew, and if she did, she was never able to figure out that it helped her control her magic? It just feels like 80+ minutes of conflict should end with a little more than 5-10 minutes of resolution. You should be resolving everything in the entire third act, not at the very end of it.

All in all, I felt that, while not too bad, Frozen was still a fairly overrated movie. Mediocre at best. Not something I would be excited to watch over again.

Aww. I USED Gimp before I switched over to Paint.net.

Now I have to switch back.

[AlleeCat]

GIMP was difficult to understand when I tried to use it. I'd rather use Paint.net. Plus, I can make .gifs with Adobe Premiere, so I don't think I'm really at a loss there.

At this rate I think the anti-hype would make me enjoy the movie.
...Or maybe my hype from the anti-hype would ruin it.
But then that would mean my anti-hype from my hype from the anti-hype would-

The obvious solution is to fucking not care about hype.



I agree it was mediocre. Would've been better without the villains being shoehorned in. They were really quite unnecessary.

[AlleeCat]

It's worth watching, but it's not as good as it could have been. It has that sort of cut content feel that Metal Gear Solid 2 had.
I mean, MGS2 is pretty fun. It's worth playing. But it could have been a lot better with more time.

[Darvi]

I have no idea how Paint.net works so I'm quite content with GIMP. :V

[Tack]

I actually agree with a lot of Allee's stuff there. It annoyed me too.

[Sinistar]

Speaking of MGS2, I heard there was later "remastered" version of it, which had added or out-right altered scenes in it. Any thought's about that?

(Sorry for offtopic, but I have no new sad to add to the conversation, for better or worse.)

Found it trough a friend, awesome site.

Why is it sad you ask?

Well, in the past half hour I've found atleast a 100 Euros worth of stuff that I want really badly. Like say that one NatGeo 500 page book of their best photos ever that's going for 20 Euros and free shipping (then again all of their stuff ships for free). Sadly I'm somewhat short on that sort of money right now, and on time that I'd need to enjoy that thing properly.

So I guess I'm sad because I can't order ALL THE THINGS RIGHT NOW!!!!
But instead I have to wait for few weeks :C

[Playergamer]

About frozen: I thought it was ok, but then again, I have no taste whatsoever, so...

Spoiler: Things that I'm more annoyed about then I should be from the sad thread (possibly spoilers, maybe?) (click to show/hide)

It's a face heel turn, Allee. Face is good, heel is bad. Your argument is solid, It's just that I'm a troper with a huge headache, so...

Uh... -snip?-

Hocrap didn't even see it.

[Yoink]

Well they are going to put my dog down on Monday...

That is pretty devastating... I won't really say too much more then that.

I'm so sorry, man.
I'm assuming the dog is very sick, and that's why they're doing it? At least that means it won't be suffering anymore.
Not that that's going to make it any easier to deal with. *hugs*
