By the way, Titan A.E. sucked.
I only recently saw Shrek 2 and aside from chuckling whenever Puss-in-Boots did his sad-eye thing, I thought it pretty much sucked, too. The medium isn’t nearly as important as the quality of the writing.
Heh, I thought that too, the first time I watched it in theatres, but after renting it on DVD (at my little brother’s behest, he hadn’t seen it yet) I found that it had a tendency to grow on me with repeated watchings O_o
For one thing, you notice that the movie has AWESOME sound effects (even if it has some poor tastes for music), and most of the voice acting is rather good (I was able to repeatedly forget that it was Bill Pullman in the movie, and Goon was worth the money I paid to see it in the theatre just by himself. “WHO’S YOUR DADDY? GOON’S YOUR DADDY!”)
Huh. I thought the majority of the soundtrack was excellent, highly suitable for the movie’s atmosphere.
I loved Titan A.E., myself. The premise is decent, it’s Don Bluth animation, and I love the ship designs.
Hm. I guess I take back what I said about the music, now that I think about it, it did work rather well for the movie. Guess it’s just not my style (though I thought “Cosmic Castaway” or whatever the song was when the guy was working in the scrapyard was nice.
Well, there was that terrible movie out about a decade ago.
“Cosmic Castaway” is definitely my favorite song on the soundtrack. Admittedly, I don’t care for about half the songs in the movie, but the other half are excellent. Most of it is good, solid rock that has a slight techno tint to better suit it for the futuristic tone of the movie.
But, uh, this is a pretty heavy hijack, so I’ll get off it now. 
sledgehammering the conversation back onto topic
You know what would have been great? If Mr. Incredible was fighting the Drej in the beginning of the movie. I bet he’d whomp their electrical butts.
:smack:
Then again, Star Wars is pretty deeply ingrained into the collective consciousness by now…
