enamouredSaw Super 8 today! Scattered thoughts:
I loved the kid actors. Their dialogue was great and their banter was really genuine. I never have had strong opinions about either of the Fanning sisters (did you know that Dakota just graduated from high school?! YES), but Elle was fantastic as Alice. The scene at the train station when she's saying the line to Martin about not wanting him to leave (that ends up making him cry) was funny and cute. (Also, I would never have guessed that she was the youngest of the kids cast!)
I am one of the flinchiest people alive as far as movies go. If I sense that someone's about to get killed/something's going to blow up/anything that involves loud sound effects is about to happen, I close my eyes. I missed the Eye Closing parts a few times because I was doing the "Lean Forward Because I Know SOMETHING Is About to Go Down" thing. I jumped the first time that the alien attacked the bus but when it grabbed the alien I didn't.
I did, however, join the rest of the audience in recoiling in horror when Martin threw up. I couldn't remember most of Joe's friends names (save for Charles and Alice) until I got home to my copy of Entertainment Weekly so I kept calling him "Barfing Kid" in my head.
I noticed the 47 in there. Isn't that (along with 4 8 15 23 42 48) one of JJ Abrams' oft-repeated numbers, or am I just making that up?
I loved that Charles's movie got played over the end credits.
Joe's dad is the coach from Friday Night Lights, right? I have another reason to finally get to watching that show! (Besides Taylor Kitsch and Michael B. Jordan and Adrianne Palicki and Matt Lauria, and the fact that everyone else is all CANDICE, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT FOOTBALL, IT'S REALLY GOOD I PROMISE)
In short: do want to see again!
Also, my ears are pretty much completely healed! Still itch a little bit, but I don't look like I'm developing some sort of heinous death rash.
OH WAIT, I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS: The first preview we got was for Breaking Dawn, Part One. I about died giggling. It was immediately followed by Deathly Hallows, Part Two. I admire the sense of humor of the person who decided on the trailer order.
