Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel - Page 37

We watched Milo and Otis last night. Neither of us had seen it before. We were both traumatized (but it did NOT help my desire for an orange kitten one bit).

Well, if it's any help, the net consensus seems to be that probably no animals were harmed in the making of Milo and Otis.

I just finished watching "Rollercoaster" again. I still love this movie, it's so much fun (and sad at the same time) to see some of my favorite coasters 30+ years ago. I love the Lalo Schifrin score, too.

Milo and Otis is rad. I wanna see it again. Can't believe Lisa's only seeing it now for the first time. The movie that put Pugs on the map!

******

BTW, the 3-D in Alice in Wonderland is lame. I found out today the movie was filmed in 2-D and converted to 3-D, and it looks it. Everything has that flat, cut-out, old multi-plane camera look. And the handful of 3-D "tricks" they did were straight out of 1950's 3-D movie schtick. Embarassing.

So, if you're gonna see it, see the 2-D version.

First Movie I ever got on DVD !! and also the reason I bought my first ever VHS !

...and we loved Alice - especially the 3D. They didn't resort to the usual cheap tricks and any "protrusions" out of the fourth wall were justified. It made it a lot easier to get immersed in the ambiance and settings. We'd recommend it to anyone. We woldn't recommend it to small children as a lot of characters seem to have a penchant for poking others in the eye with things.

The Rollercoaster score is available for purchase in iTunes. I had the soundtrack album when I was a kid, and I was very happy to get this again about a year ago. There is a tremendous variety of styles that Schifrin got to write in, as he had to provide both the dramatic score and the "source" music in the various theme parks portrayed in the film.

As for the movie, I have a great deal of affection for it, but it's a textbook case of anti-climax.

Neither of us have seen Men in Black either.

Forgive me, but, I haven't seen Milo & Otis in many years. My older kids watched it quite a few times {on VHS}.

I can't remember...why was it painful?

Spoiler:

Did Thurston and Kimchi watch it, too?

Do dogs snack while watching t.v?
