Mistress Ahn Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 It used to be my favorite book as a kid as I totally identified with Max. Yeah, I was a brat. So I've pretty much been waiting with bated breath for the movie to come out and last night my life was made complete. If you still embrace your inner child you've got to see this movie. If the book was one of your favorites when you were young, you'll love it. It really makes you regress as your watching it.... in the best way possible. I may have almost cried 2 or 3 times throughout the movie. Spike Jonze is going to get a bone crushing hug from me if I ever run into him on the street. He really did the book justice. Quote
monokuro Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Mistress! I saw the movie earlier today and turned into a little kid. That little bastard is back in his place though, after almost compelling me to buy a $2000 dollar Iron Man statue on the internet. Now I want to dress up as a Wild Thing! -Monokuro Quote
akiravn1 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Dear Mistress Jung, I did see The Orphanage which I really enjoyed, so much so, that I own the DVD. I see that Guillermo del Toro did get producing credits on the film directed by Juan Antonio Bayona. My real enjoyment of the film came out of exactly what you had identified, in taking a sweet and heart warming storyline, then combining it with an extremely eerie theme. With Pan's Labyrinth, I always like a story that will appeal to the kid in me, but at the same time satisfy a darker element as well. Quote

Its like why I enjoy chocolate covered pretzels so much. I get to satisfy my sweet tooth and my salty tooth at the same time Quote

monokuro Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Mistress! I saw the movie earlier today and turned into a little kid. That little bastard is back in his place though, after almost compelling me to buy a $2000 dollar Iron Man statue on the internet. Now I want to dress up as a Wild Thing! -Monokuro MEEEE TOOO!!! I want to know where I can get the wolf costume from the movie! Let me know if you find it before I do! Guess what I found! Irongate Gallery sells the wolf pajamas for $149 (I assume USD). Unfortunately they are back ordered and the costume won't be delivered by Halloween but still it is a cool costume. http://www.theirongategallery.com/Wild-Things-Adult-Wolf-Pajamas_p_602.html Another alternative, even more unfortunately is pricier but possibly available through Opening Ceremony New York (details provided) for $610, yeah, I know, steep for a costume but it looks so fluffy! Take a look: http://www.openingceremony.us/products.asp?menuid=4&productid=10483&cn=menu4 Opening Ceremony New York, 35 Howard Street, New York, NY 10013 I looked expressly with the United States and even New York in mind. I think the only other place is the online shopping kitchen staple, eBay. Which apparently is full with these costumes. -Always happy to help you, Monokuro (with some mild credit for the eBay tip from SW) Quote
Mistress Zhao Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Pans Labyrinth! SO GOOD! Best scene in the movie, hands down, is the bottle scene. Thats where the movie takes its super dark spiral in to demented fairy tale. (although it will never compare to the Labyrinth with David Bowie) The one thing I remember about seeing it in theaters was this jappy blonde girl sitting behind me who loudly said to her boyfriend as the credits started to roll "waaait, I dont get it. What did the movie have to do with pans?" LOL :lol: YES!! I am in total agreement with you on this one...The scene where all you see is the shadow and sound of the poor common man getting his face bashed in with the bottle of beer..so twisted. And the one where the servant lady slices the evil General's mouth/cheek...horrific. Guillermo del Toro is such a visionary. I'm currently reading his book he co-wrote with Chuck Hogan, The Strain. It's enthralling and such a vivid story. Quote
zenslave Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Just got back fron the "Wild Things". It absolutely captured my feelings of surpressed (or expressed) violence and then guilt as a young boy. While it never really leaves it gets buried deeper and deeper (unless you are the wild thing Carol, who never deleloped impulse control.) Interesting thought - Do young girls with Domme tendencies share the repressed violence that little boys experience? Quote
Guest Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 I'm seeing this in IMAX 3D!!! sooooo excited! I didn't read through all the posts though, dont want to spoil the movie for myself! Quote
Mistress Mina Jung Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 Finally saw Wild Things!!! Boy did it take me back! I was flooded with all the emotions that Max went through during the movie. It reminded me of how frustrating it felt to be that age yet so rewarding because everything has potential to be amazing and out of this world. :cry: / Quote
Big Trouble Baby Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Is this an animated movie? Quote
Mistress Ahn Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Posted October 30, 2009 Is this an animated movie? Nope its live action, but I'm pretty sure it had some cgi in it for the wild things. Either way, amazing movie. Quote
Guest Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 I have to say I found it distracting whenever the main monster, Carroll talked! All I could think of was Tony Soprano! Quote
jerryny1 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Posted November 9, 2009 Ahn, Did I see you in an East Village Karaoke bar Thursday after midnight or was it just a look alike!? J Quote
Mistress Ahn Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Posted November 10, 2009 Ahn, Did I see you in an East Village Karaoke bar Thursday after midnight or was it just a look alike!? J You mean Planet Rose?.... yep that was me! Were you there?! Quote
jerryny1 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 I thought that was you... yea but when I turned around you were gone! Damn! Quote
akiravn1 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 Since I am not much of a gambler, when I do go to Atlantic City with friends, there is a Planet Rose in the French Quarter section of the Tropicana Casino that I usually frequent. Mistress Ahn, do you participate much in karaoke singing? Quote
Mistress Ahn Posted November 28, 2009 Author Report Posted November 28, 2009 Lol! I can't help myself when it comes to karaoke, I can't keep away. Asian stereotype much? Quote
akiravn1 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Posted November 29, 2009 Lol!I can't help myself when it comes to karaoke, I can't keep away. Asian stereotype much? Dear Mistress Ahn, That's so funny, it is that same Asian stereotype that actually found me in Planet Rose numerous times checking out the HOT Asian girls more than participating in the karaoke singing. All of a sudden I have the urge to hear you burst into song. Quote
spockme Posted November 29, 2009 Report Posted November 29, 2009 Dear Mistress Ahn , Your singing during a sesson would be sweet or maybe not worth exploring , it could be painful, you think? Spockme Quote
Milkdud Posted November 30, 2009 Report Posted November 30, 2009 Mistress Ahn, Do you have any karaoke favorites? d/leatherwings Lol!I can't help myself when it comes to karaoke, I can't keep away. Asian stereotype much? Quote
Mistress Zhao Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 I have been known to get so fevered singing something like AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long", that I have taken my shirt off. In public. Gawk that. xo Quote
