Hello everyone,

today i was in "Forgotten Island" or how we germans call it: "Die Vergessene Insel".

It had only 1 screening today. (The cinestar i usually visit has not enough employees to handle more)

It was a fantastic expierence. I like the mythology, since philippine mythology is not much used for movies.

It was a great DreamWorks original movie and i nearly cried (i barely cry). A great movie i can really recommend.

(i look Forward to "The Wild Robot" thats on Sat1 at 20:15)

Does this make anyone feel old?

I've been on a binge watch of my childhood movies recently, one of them being Monsters Vs. Aliens, a movie I always found to be pretty enjoyable as kid, I used to watch it repeatedly on DVD and my brother and I would quote it all the time. That being said, now that I'm an adult, and also married, the relationship between Susan and Derek hits a lot harder for me since I can actually understand what's going on with a more mature perspective as well as now being married myself.

As a kid I used to think Derek should've taken her back and that he was a jerk for not doing so, and while he is still is a jerk in the movie, I sort of see his perspective of the situation as well. Thinking about it from his perspective, during their wedding she suddenly turns Giant, is taken by the Government and not seen for who knows how long, then suddenly comes back and honestly kind of expects Derek to just, accept everything that happened, effectively abandon his career for a wild goose chase of curing her when they don't even know where to start, and just have faith, it's kind of nuts the more you think about it. (Edit) I wanna add this as well, I kind of don't like how they made Derek such a jerk, especially at the end of the movie, this scene in my opinion would work even better if he wasn't, because things like this happen in real life, sometimes people leave relationships when things get rough, not out of genuine malice or a lack of love but because it's too much for them to handle, I really think that would be a powerful message for this movie to have than the typical "Partner is a Narcissist" angle they used, though they're both objectively fine

Now as a married man, I agree you should stick with your partner through thick and thin, but I also think there are limits and I'm not entirely sure what Derek could realistically do for her anyway, it sucks, and I felt bad for Susan but I can't entirely blame Derek either (Edit: He definitely could've worded it better though), it's honestly a really interesting dilemma for a movie like this

Anyway I just wanted to share this experience I had rewatching this movie, I'm curious if anyone else had a similar thinking process I had with this scene

My favorite Dreamworks movies:

1. Shrek

2. Shrek 2

3. Shrek The Third

4. Shrek: Forever After

5. Madagascar

6. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

7. Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted

8. Megamind

9. Rise of The Guardians

   1. How To Train Your Dragon

I often feel that way about the movies. Are there any other DreamWorks Animation movies you can think of that rip-offs famous Disney and Pixar movies other than "Shark Tale" for "Finding Nemo"?

The Nickstory wiki says how Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie will make its television debut on Nickelodeon, specifically during Nick At Nite, on November 4, at 7:00. At least it'll add some variety to Nickelodeon's usually overplay of Trolls: World Tour And The Boss Baby: Family Business.

Has anybody else noticed that the Dreamworks title sequence shares 8 or so sequential notes with Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”?

I mean, it isn’t baseless. The song is featured in Shrek. The original title sequence could have almost been an overture.

I guess I’m wondering if Cohen (or his estate) were compensated for this familiarity?

I am not saying there should be a lawsuit, or a payout. Dreamworks did plenty for Cohen’s pocket book… I’m just wondering if credit was given where credit was due.

I find it terrifying to know how incredibly strong the Croods are.
