ANIMAN'S FAVORITE 3D MOVIE OF THE YEAR
Animan is super tired of the typical movies they make nowadays: helicopters crashing into buildings, car chases on bridges, mass destruction, psychopathic meatballs killing innocent people by the thousands, gangsters with machine guns, etc. Science fiction that is as yucky as it is strange. Just the same old hat with a brand-new face. Ho-hum.Animan's favorite movie of the year is PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS
So, WHY does Animan love this movie?
1. It's got a great premise, and great characters (kids who are half-bloods: half human and half Greek god)
2. The characters set out on a classic-style quest that takes them to unexpected places and beings. It's a REAL honest-to-goodness adventure.
3. Greek mythology is a giant world in itself, and this film deals with some of that in an entertaining way.
4. Animan is fascinated by the centaur!
5. The actor who plays the half-blood cyclops (Douglas Smith) is cute as a button!
6. It's fantastic in 3D!
Unfortunately, this film is not doing well at the box-office, which often happens with Animan's favorite movies. Today's audiences want stories about the modern world's drug culture, automatic weapons in the wrong hands, and anything that crashes, burns and snuffs out lives. There are already thousands of such movies available everywhere. But Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters is cool in its own way. It has integrity and sincerity, stylish design, some cool animation and characters I want to see more of! Call me a foolish dreamer, but I'll be very unhappy if they don't make a series of sequels to these movies.
This is Animan's #1 favorite movie of the year, 3D or not! It's high-quality adventurous entertainment. Definitely worth admission price. Animan is planning to go back to the theater and see it again.
Sorry you feel that way about movies today, Animan. Personally, I don't have a certain taste for movies anymore; ever since taking a film history course in college, I became fascinated with a whole variety of genre and style from over the decades such that I really couldn't say what type of movie I enjoy best. I suppose that also contributed to my tendency to speculate and read into scenes as much as I can; like when you put up a new picture every now and then! I see this pic with the barbecue cook and I get thinking up a whole slew of ideas for how that scene plays out, especially wondering which two main stars are there, likely anticipating a "hot piece of meat" from him. Seriously though, if that omission was for suspense, it's working. But you could probably tell that from everything I've said here and before!
ReplyDeleteI think all types of films are valid entertainment--but I also think movie content should be eclectic. Recently, it seems that the "overkill" type of film, containing plenty of explosions and murder, is what most modern audiences want. Good for them. Animan prefers a different type. The Greek mythology theme I mention in the blog has its own share of amazing events, with colorful characters, and has really stood the test of time. For centuries, people have given these stories their undying attention, investing the tales with an irresistible subliminal power. It's something classic, coming back bigger, better and stronger! That's what turns Animan on like crazy!
DeleteI just found out that there was another Percy Jackson movie released back in 2010: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. It's not in 3D but no big. I just ordered the Blu-Ray online. The trailer looks pretty darn kewl!
I'm glad that the occasional Animan picture posted on this blog stimulates your imagination! That's pretty much the way it is for me too, whenever I settle on a theme for an Animan video, be it Carmen's Spain, Superhero's Nocturnal City, or a WWII tropical island. I always start getting all sorts of ideas, and it's a big part of the fun.
Make no mistake, the Animan All-Stars will feature plenty of meat, barbecued and raw!
Even if they don't continue with those movies you can always get into the book series. It came before the movies and I believe it's still going on? I think last I checked they were on book 7 or 9 (which means the movie series has some catching up to do).
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movies yet but I just might since you suggested it, hehe.
But I'm not much a movie person either. There's too much...too much.
Hi Jubell! Very often, movies based on a book series disappear after just one movie, but I'm happy to say that there are already two Percy Jackson movies made--the latest one in 3D. So maybe there's still hope.
DeleteAnyway, when I came out of the theater after watching Sea of Monsters, I felt great, and cool scenes from the movie were running through my mind. How very unlike my reaction to a lot of "shoot-'em-up-kill-'em-all" movies, where I leave the theater totally drained, and in a big hurry to forget the ordeal I've just been through!
I love percy Jackson but my heart throbs wayy to much when i see Logan Lerman acting on screen haha. I will go see this one though now that youve told me how good it is!
ReplyDeleteHi Muscleman! You might enjoy it! In the first movie, Dylan Neal played Hermes, but in the second one, the role is played by Nathan Fillion. I think he has the "Animan" look, don't you?
DeleteMmm, I ♥ that cook at the barbecue. Makes me wonder what else he can "cook up" with the other characters. I'm filled with anticipation!
ReplyDeleteAniman has plans for him!
DeleteI ♥ him cuz he resembles Antonio Biaggi. He's all over gay porn.
DeleteHe does look somewhat like Mr. Biaggi!
DeleteThis is a huge promising area for commercial successful art for Animan -to give new life in the animation for the famous images in the photo and video industry
DeleteEspecially it would be interesting to implement a potential in BOTTOMS roles in the animation for
fabulous asses of straights stars: BRIAN PUMPER, Pete Kuzak, Christian Endel, Mario Borelli, Jack Venice, Str8 cam Jeff
as well as BEST TOPS NEED TO BE FUCKED in gay industry -Bo Dean, Chris Steele, Trystan Bull, adam champ, Bo Dixon, Ricky Parks, Nate Karlton, Austin Wolf, Dan Darlington
Believe me Animan I scanned the industry :)) and chose the best images and bums that suit your vision of male beauty .
I share your tastes )
Especially it would be interesting to implement a passive potential in the animation of such lines with smart ass stars like BRIAN PUMPER, Pete Kuzak, Christian Endel, Mario Borelli, Jack Venice, Str8 cam Jeff,
as well as gay porn stars that were only asset -Bo Dean, Chris Steele, Trystan Bull, adam champ, Bo Dixon, Ricky Parks, Nate Karlton, Austin Wolf, Dan Darlington,Ricky Larkin
Believe me animan I scanned the industry and chose the best images that suit your vision of male beauty .
I share your tastes )
Cant wait new movie)
I do indeed think our tastes are similar.
Deleteif this slim barbecue cook got big dick, he can match up to the saturation of sexual hunger for any of 10 GREAT BOTTOMS Stars
ReplyDeleteYou must be reading my mind!
DeleteI think I'm I'm a mental twin Animan who lives in Russia :) I have a lot of ideas and your ideas inspire me, but I do not have such tremendous artistic skills like Animan! but fortunately I can appreciate and enjoy this Hot Art
DeleteOne of Animan's greatest joys in making these films is having friends all over the world who share his tastes. There seem to be no boundaries. It's truly an international, "Golden Age"!
DeleteIt's like global «Masonic Lodge
Deleteof Hung Admirers of BIG DADDies Asses»:)
Animan thinks so too!
DeleteIt is an honor for me to be your friend, I just realized a fine analogy barbecue cook = bareback cock. very gracefully:))
ReplyDeleteIt is Animan who is honored. Barbecue cook=bareback cock----LOL
DeleteOf all the characters I hope will litter the background of the All-Stars video, The Snapping guy from the Twist party is number 1. I got a kick out of seeing him walking by at the end presumably naked, but just as into the beats playing as when he was clothed.
ReplyDeleteI'll see what I can do!
ReplyDeleteAniman, Will there be a trailer soon?
ReplyDeleteYes there will, in about a week. Stay tuned to Animan's World!
DeleteAny specific day when we can see the trailer? This coming Saturday, Sunday, Monday?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait, looks hot!
Tell ya what----I'll start work on the trailer now, and hopefully it'll be ready by tomorrow at this time!
DeleteIt was a fun movie, and I saw the first as well. I've enjoyed less popular fantasy action movies (Immortals, 47 Ronin). But the books are quite enjoyable. Hope the movie franchise is successful enough to keep going. Nathan Fillion was awesome as usual. Look forward to seeing more of your work!
ReplyDeletePercy Jackson rox! Yeahhhh!
