God the Bunny Ear Hat, I remember that thing.

Nice to see ParaNorman is a good movie too, I had my assumptions that it would be since Coraline was pretty cool.

Too bad Hand Animations like that take so long because they're such cool thing to watch, like Wallace and Gromit.

...wow, so this is how it feels...

...I feel like a f*cking tool...
dont worry, you'rea bout to get a warning for it.

I somehow knew bob wasnt going to review the expendables. THough I will say im a bit disappointed he didnt. Anyway I guess its nice to hear this is a good movie, or at least bob thinks so. After all the advertising and friend recommendations saying "its from the guys who did coraline so you know its gotta be good" (despite myself not really caring for coraline one way or the other other than it was just a movie to watch when bored) I though this was going to be a kid movie that relied on the, look zombie and ghosts. whch I can always just enjoy by watching the two scooby doo movies about the witch ghost and the bayou zombies with cat people.

Expendables 2 not shown to critics, really that shocks me. Look at me, this is my shocked face. Somehow my local critic reviewed it and gave it a D- so it has to be good.

Huh, my Sarcasm Switch was on, let me fix that...there we go. Sincerity levels rising...Sincerity at 100%.

Glad to see I was wrong about ParaNorman. I thought it was going to be a goofy, dumb kids movie with ghosts and zombies.

Sadly I feel this is going to get the Scott Pilgrims treatment due to releasing alongside Expendables 2. I was hoping you would tear that movie a new one this week but there's always next week.

Well I off to gamestop to pick up The Last Story at long last and I'll think about checking this one out if not this weekend, then in next week.

I'll probably see this at some point based on bob's recommendation, but at the moment i'm more interested in Cosmopolis given that I'm quite the David Cronenberg fan

And here I thought it looked kinda stupid (I guess I should've known better, Coraline was a really good movie). I might give this one a go, Thanks Bob!

Might check it out if it comes to the UK, also why would it be released at the end of Summer, wouldn't it make more sense to release a film like ParaNorman around Halloween, just saying

In the face of the 2k guy who said photorealism was required to achieve real emotional attachment or whatever.

Also, no Bob, bringing back Bunny Mario would be a baaaaaaaaaaad idea.

Looks interesting, but I just looked to see if its appearing in the UK and apparently it's showing in ONE cinema!! In the whole UK. But fortunately I happen to live quite close to it which is a bit weird as I live in the country.

Looks quite interesting. Speaking of stop-motion movies, I hope you get the chance to review at least the DVD of The Pirates An Adventure in Science/Band of Misfits. Really curious to hear your take on that movie, so far it's the best comedy I've seen all year.

God damn it. I am so pumped to see Bob: the Movie, but it doesn't hit Australia for another month. Seriously, before watching this review, I was immensely tired, but now, simply by having been reminded how excited I am for this movie, I probably won't get to sleep for at least another hour. Ah well. Moonrise Kingdom is finally coming out in 12 days or so and Beasts of the Southern Wild's coming here relatively soon, so I guess they can help through the wait for Paranorman.

Man, getting Avengers near a month early was cool and all, but I'm not sure it makes up for the late release of every other film.

Sorry for ranting about vaguely relevant things in your review's comments, Bob. It's just everything I've seen about it looks so good, and your review just made realise that I can bearly wait for its Australian release.

Huh. A movie that could make Bob stop sucking on and getting drool all over the Avengers.
Color me curious.
