Well, forgive me. I don't think the film is bad because I haven't seen it. I've seen millions of reviews(both user and professional) that don't put it in a nice light, so I'm going off of that(for now.). I'll at least rent the film if I don't see it in the cheap-seats).

Redundant in the fact that "Adam Sandler" already tells you the movie is bad.

You're the one who called it bad and now your defending it from being bad?

Well color me confused.

I couldn't agree more Widdi. Bedtime Stories (or BS as I call it) is a Adam Sandler movie which by definition means it's crap. Don't understand why someone would make a statment that it's bad and defend it in the same breath.

I miss the days when Sandler did good work. *sigh*

...I was not aware that there ever was such a day. I'll give you "The Wedding Singer" maybe, because the supporting cast and soundtrack tempers Adam Sandler's "hilarious" antics.

Punch-Drunk Love, but that's not really an Adam Sandler flick to begin with.

My first post should've had quotation marks around the word "bad".

Don't feel bad because you're confused. I say a lot of things.

BTW, I personally enjoyed Anger Management. That one's funny.

Anyway, my copy's arriving tomorrow!

I've never seen it, but from what I know, I'll give you that one too. I would also agree with you that it's not really an Adam Sandler movie so much as a movie that happens to star Adam Sandler. I suppose we should limit it to Adam Sandler "comedies", but then I couldn't include "Spanglish", which was pretty lousy.

You should see it, it's a wonderful movie even though it's not a Sandler flick in the strict sense of the word. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, who also directed Boogie Nights, Magnolia and There Will Be Blood.

His good work was September 9, 1966. Man, what a birth that was! The anticipation that built up to his performance, I mean, his mom had to be taken to the hospital! And then the dramatic way he emerged, you could tell he was really into the moment and prepared for it for like, nine months. And the way he cried when the doctor spanked him...such emotion, such anguish! Never will we see acting like that again.

Stitch is so cute! He reminds me of my dog!

ajmrowland · Post by **ajmrowland** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 9:51 pm

Your dog's an Alien?

No, I see what you mean. He is cute, in a way. Never associated him with my dog, though!

xxhplinkxx · Post by **xxhplinkxx** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 9:55 pm

Actually, my dog is kinda alien-like.

Btw, check the code for your banner... clearly, something is wrong there.

Yeah, I'm working on it.

You know I've never seen Lilo & Stitch although I haven't seen many Disney Films AFTER Tarzan. I was thinking about taking the plunge, and getting this, but then thought I'd just buy it when it eventually comes to Blu Ray so I'll wait.

Do you guys consider Lilo on par with the other Disney classics? The look, and presentation make it seem like the other films.

Man I missed a lot after Tarzan. Next on my list is Treasure Planet.

ajmrowland · Post by **ajmrowland** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 10:15 pm

I'd consider Lilo & Stitch to be about as good as Tarzan. Treasure Planet's also worth it. It doesn't seem like we're going to see these on Blu for a few good years, so now is a good time to buy them.

Why? Were you living in some remote village somewhere in Scandinavia where the concept of "moving picture" was holding a photograph in your hand and running away?

Soupy Sales wrote:Do you guys consider Lilo on par with the other Disney classics?

If you had asked me a few years ago I'd have said yes. But upon rewatching it a couple months ago, I'd say that it's got its charm and the story and characters are appealing and relateable, but not quite as classic in the "timeless and eternal" connotation as one would expect it to be. At least not yet. But as time goes on, opinions change and the memory cheats so 5 years from now I'll probably not remember ever having this opinion until someone quotes it and says "But look, Escapay, you said it wasn't classic in 2009!"

Just be careful when you get to 2004's Home on the Range. It's polarized much of UD into camps of "It's stupid and ugly!" versus "It's underrated and unique!" And as it had the distinction of being Disney's last 2D film (at least until word of TPATF being 2D came out), some saw it as a rather lousy way to "end" the canon.

Excellent.

In regards to post-Lion King 2D Disney, it's all pretty underrated in my opinion, except Atlantis, which I just felt lacked any Disney magic. The characters didn't seem to mesh for me either, though it's been a while since I've watched it. And as for Brother Bear, good movie but the opening is so bad as it tries to emmulate the Lion King so hard. I liked Home on the Range quite a bit. It wasn't a masterpiece or anything, but it was a fun and well-done little flick that I didn't feel hurt the Disney name any.

Anyways, as for Lilo and Stitch, which I love as a film AND as one of Disney's best (and best-looking) animated TV shows, I already have the single disc release and was not going to buy this again since I figured I could wait till it gets a blu-ray release. However, hearing about the bonus features was too much for me. I expect I will be getting this one tomorrow too when I pick up Bolt on Blu, even though I haven't even gotten Leroy and Stitch yet...

I wonder why Disney hasn't discontinued the prior DVD? They are both listed as in stock at Amazon for the same SRP and same discounted price point, so having two versions in print doesn't make much sense.
