I love animated films but never saw The Ant Bully. After Antz and A Bug's Life, I just didn't see the point :?
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Yes, it's a really good film I thought ... quite an intensely personal subject dealt with in a manner as gentle and subtle as the character Bill Murray portrays so well.

I adored it! I am a big fan of Jarmusch and that is him at his best. I absolutely adored the complete ambiguity of it - you followed everything that happened but never really learned much about anything and only a little of the characters' backstory was filled in - just like in real life. Mix in some beautifully underplayed character acting, a brilliant and eclectic music score and the deliberately slow-paced direction and I was mesmerised. It was :awesome:
I thought I was the only one too. I loved it, for the reasons XC lists above. My brother, who calls himself a movie buff but only likes anything with explosions, tits or both, just could not grasp why you'd want to watch anything like real life, with no huge ending. I enjoyed Lost In Translation for the same reasons, but it made me ache :sighsm:

Anyway, just been perusing this thread for films to watch, may aswell join in.

1. Paranormal Activity :roll:
2. Despicable Me :awesome:
3. The Quiet Earth
+ a whole load of old Disney which I won't bother listing.
Men! They're all beasts!
Yeah. But isn't it wonderful?

Yes, another good example of the subtlety of delivery .. and Bill Murray again ...



1 school ties
2 garage days
3 broken flowers
4 Salvador
5 Monster's Ball
6 Wonderland
7 Alexandra's Project
8 Caligula
9 Shine
10 second thoughts
11 Rain
12 birdcage .. still makes me laugh on a relatively superficial, slapstick level, while noting the conservative moralistic attitudes and the lip-service paid to it by the film.
