Movie: Monsters (2010)

[E.H. Ruddock]

I watched the trailer. You're safe. It looks ok, but it's not bumping up to the top of my list any time soon

It is such a fantastic story about human emotion and relationship, though. God I love that movie.

[stip]

so you're saying I SHOULD watch it?

[stip]

I mostly find big monsters fighting other big monsters kinda boring (see Godzilla, Pacific Rim, Transformers). Is that not what this is?

The monsters are background to the story. Not in it much at all.

No, that's exactly what it is. Nothing but monster fights. Better steer clear.

SHUT UP RUDDO

I immediately saw that map and wondered why they don't just take a boat to America. It's thoughts like this that really got in the way of pacific rim.

I laughed.

But seriously, this isn't your cup of tea, stip.

compare it to something

[stip]

If Monsters isn't my thing is there a similar film you could compare it to

Look I don't know if it is your thing or not. But it isn't a movie about giant monsters, if that is what you think. Like I said, those are background noise to the main story. I know LV is gonna hate me for telling you that, but it is true. It is a wonderful movie.

Sounds right up my alley.

Yep

[LoathedVermin72]

The closest comparison I can think of is Lost in Translation.

But now you're talking about themes and shit right? Not tone or look?

[LoathedVermin72]

No, tone and look also.

[epilogue]

Really? Well, isn't that just fucking interesting.
