Pan's Labyrinth - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

scary_dream · 02-25-2007, 01:10 AM

I've seen several things about Pan's Labyrinth, including hearing music from it on XM and reading several articles about it in Fango, and I really, REALLY want to see it. It looks very enthralling! One of the Fango articles I read about it discussed makeup/costuming, and man... those looked great.

The problem is, I've not heard anything else about it. I read something on it saying "Now playing in theaters nationwide!" but I've not seen it anywhere in the states... Wikipedia, while not necessarily a solid source but still (kind of) reliable on some items, said that it was released mid-January. Are the towns around mine just lame and didn't ever show it, or is it awaiting a fuller release in the States?

It's in some theatres in the US, some not. They might not be showing it or they might just be late, mine took a while to show it. You can download it off of limewire, though. Or somewhere else I'm sure.

I haven't seen it but my friends think it's absolutely brilliant. The fact that it's gorey and in spanish is offputting to me, but I'll probably download it one of these days anyway because everyone is like doooooood itz tha best movie evaaaaaar.

Oh boy....

If you find a theater that plays it, GO AND SEE IT. It is a FANTASTIC film, and worthy of every oscar it's gonna win tonight (and trust me, it WILL win).

It's really violent, though, so if you're a bit squeamish, you may wanna close your eyes for some scenes.

Seconded. Not a movie for folks who are just seeking a bit of light-hearted escapist fantasy.

If it's a haunting and powerful film experience you're looking for, and you think you can stomach quite a lot of grim brutality, then by all means give it a go.

I personally thought it was wonderful, even if it wasn't quite the movie that the trailers had prepared me for, but I nonetheless had to spend much of the running time watching it through the gaps between my fingers (stamina in the face of extreme grotesqueness was never one of my strong points).

scary_dream · 02-25-2007, 12:42 PM

I'm good with gore and brutality, so ARRRGGHHH now I wanna see it even more!!! I wish theaters around here weren't LAME.

I can't download anything because my computer is slow, too, so...

ugh.

I guess I'll have to wait for a DVD release.

I have no real desire to see Pans Laberynth because, truth be told, I actually think it looks kin of scary.

And you'd be right. Although he's a fairly minor character overall, the aptly-named "Pale Man" quite easily earns the right, in my books, to go down as one of the most terrifying movie creations of all time...

Now I want to see it. I had no idea it was a horror film. My brother didn't describe it well, lol. Its playing here.

Lucky Sparky!!

My Fango has the Pale Man on the front of it, and he IS one creepy-looking character. I think that is what draws me to it - how creepy the whole movie looks. I love stuff like that.

He looks even crazier without his hands to his face!
