Go see The Lego Movie. This is a review, I guess.

So...yeah, go see the movie. I wish I could say more, but I don't want to spoil anything outside of the fact that it's really freaking great. It has this fantastic dreamlike quality that gets refreshingly trippy and existential, love the sense of scale present in several of the scenes, every second was so jam-packed to the brim with jokes, sight gags, and legitimately awesome action bits that I'll probably enjoy it the second, third, etc. number of times I watch it (probably more because there won't be terrible audience members), love the moral (the only movie in recent memory to actually go full-on with the whole "anyone can be the chosen one" theme), it looked amazing, it's incredible how engaged you are despite the fact that literally every scene features some sort of self-mocking gag, and it goes without saying, but Unikitty and Benny the 1980's Spaceman were the absolute best. Did not know Charlie Day was in this.

 

It was a better action movies than most action movies nowadays. It was a better Batman movie than The Dark Knight Rises. It was a better MLP movie than EQG. It's like someone took the opening of Toy Story 3, expanded it to an entire movie, combined that with Who Framed Roger Rabbit and 2001: A Space Odyssey, and set out to make an awesome parody of The Matrix that might totally be better than The Matrix.

 

And then Batman's grunge song about his dead parents and how awesome the color black is plays over the credits.

 

Go see The Lego Movie.

I actually might see it. I mean, I thought Frozen was going to be a flop, but look.

 

It has Morgen Freeman, looks pretty good.

Missed my chance to see Frozen in theaters, but I'm not letting that happen with this one. No way, Jose.

 

And I thought the trailers made it look good to begin with. *shrugs*

I don't know, I never saw Frozen's trailers.

I don't know how it got nearly a billion with those trailers.

They were quite literally garbage.

Frozen is overrated, this is true imagination and actual film greatness.

That song is still stuck on my head.

One of the Best of 2013.
