"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". 

Re: Steampunk Films?
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events ... set and costume design are very reminiscent ...

That film was certainly stunning, in a visual sense. Jim Carrey was also hilarious in itCharlou wrote:Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events ... set and costume design are very reminiscent ...

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Re: Steampunk Films?
I've been wondering if it was worth a watch? Is it worth a round of Netflix?

Better than most muck around today, not hugely memorable but entertaining, the kids were pretty good at the whole acting thing.Gawdzilla wrote:I've been wondering if it was worth a watch? Is it worth a round of Netflix?

Re: Steampunk Films?
What, Lemony Snicket, Gawd? Oh, yes, definitely worth a watch. Most definitely. I guess it may depend upon your tolerance for Jim Carrey, though. He seems to be a love-him-or-hate-him kind of actor/comedian. But I thought he was great in this role.Gawdzilla wrote:I've been wondering if it was worth a watch? Is it worth a round of Netflix?

Bombed at the B.O., didn't it? Too bad. Some grandnieces were very excited about seeing the books in film.owtth wrote:Better than most muck around today, not hugely memorable but entertaining, the kids were pretty good at the whole acting thing.Gawdzilla wrote:I've been wondering if it was worth a watch?

Depends on the role Carrey has. Ass Ventura was just one long fart joke.tattuchu wrote:What, Lemony Snicket, Gawd? Oh, yes, definitely worth a watch. Most definitely.

Re: Steampunk Films?
His schtick can wear a little thin. But this role gave him something to sink his teeth into. He hams it up big time, but I don't think he's over-the-top. I think he did a great job, and he had me laughing my ass off. The kids are great, too, and the baby is particularly funny. I've never read the books, so I can't say how the film might compare.Gawdzilla wrote:Depends on the role Carrey has. Ass Ventura was just one long fart joke.tattuchu wrote:What, Lemony Snicket, Gawd?

I think the film is definitely worthwhile. Like owtth said, though, entertaining but not hugely memorable. Certainly something of substance, as compared to most children's films, but...I dunno...maybe a little lacking somehow. But not sure exactly how

I'd have been interested in seeing him do the Joker again. With a better director.tattuchu wrote:His schtick can wear a little thin. But this role gave him something to sink his teeth into.

Again I never read the books, and I quite like Jim Carrey in some of his less Ventura roles, but it had a worthwhile story and script which is sadly lacking in most popular movies [ROBOT TESTICLES/]

I just watched this last weekend. I loved the visual style, and it was a pretty good kids' film.Charlou wrote:Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events ... set and costume design are very reminiscent ...
