Wallace and Gromit - Curse of the Were Rabbit
Discussion
We saw this tonight at a pre-release showing that the directors and producers were at and the film is fantastic.
Don't want to brag too much ( ;) )but we sat behind Nick Park and got to chat to the directors and producers afterwards. How cool is that :cool:.
I had an interesting chat with Peter Lord about how the Americans just fundementally "didn't get" a huge amount of the visual humour in the film and that they had to fight hard to get a lot of it in the film as the Yanks just didn't think it was funny!! You'll understand once you've seen the film.
It's definately worth seeing!

Eh? We saw it last Saturday at a regular public showing at the cinema in Basingstoke. I saw it last Saturday in Times Square, NY and it was approx 75% full (was the opening night of general release I think). Audience seemed to enjoy it, most were yanks I think. Amazingly vocal audience, unlike here in the UK. Saw "A History of Violence" a day or so later and it was even noisier, cheering when somebody got their head kicked in, laughing at inappropriate moments etc!

American cinema audiences are always like that - very strange to us the first time. It's also weird to watch a film here that you've first seen in the US - the experience is so different.

We are going in about half hour.
I was trying to explain what it was to our Italian coffee server at work today, unfortunately he didnt really 'get' it, quite english isnt it.
A cinema? It's a dark place with seats & people in it. But, that's not important right now.
I hope this helps.
Loved it

Whenever I've been to the cinema in the US, its a bit annoying. Its a personal bugbear of mine, and probably just mine, but I hate it whenh people laugh out loud, or whatever in the cinema. It does my nut in. I don't mind a wee chuckle at a funny bit, or whatever but this is full on 'Jerry Springer audience' style. Its damned annoying. I don't know whther it is a need to convince everyone else that you too thought it was funny, but I feel like getting up and shouting "Shut the feck up, I'm trying to watch the friggin film"!!! This is why I never watch comedies in US cinemas... They cannot control themselves! You miss half of what is said sfter the funny bit cos of all the arms in the air,l and hilarious jollies going on around you!
Andy Mac - being with an audience who react to what is going on on screen is one of the JOYS of going to the cinema. You obviously aren't of the generation who went to Saturday matinees as a kid.
Your atitude is probably the result of watching stuff at home on TV. That is an isolating experience rathar than a communal one.
Having said that, I can't stand it when people in cinemas talk over the soundtrack - especially if the subject of their conversation is nothing to do with the film.

Anyone notice the fingerprints on the plasticine models when the camera is up close?
In the Q&A in the showing I went to Nick Park said they have deliberately retained things like fingerprints in the models as that is the very essence of W&G and Aardmann. They are trying very hard to ensure that the whole enterprise doesn't get taken over by the pure commerciality of "the movies".
