Thread: Sharkboy and Lavagirl

Just read a review of this movie. The review was pretty bad, but I found this quote interesting:

“The dream! Remember the dream!” Lavagirl urges. Variations on this theme include “Learn to dream with your eyes open” and “Dream a better dream.”

Sounds like Robert Rodriguez may have included some form of lucid dreaming in this movie.

Hey TygrHawk!

Well I've seen previews for this movie at the theater and frankly.. it looks like torture!

I'm just really glad that I don't have a child begging to go see this movie cuz, based on the previews, even a mother's love couldn't get me there!

LOL, first time i saw the previews for that movie i laughed wondering what product they were advertising, then i relised it was an actual movie, liek one people are actualy suposed to pay $9 dollars to see after 6pm... i just laughed.

LOl. Same here. When i first saw the previews on tv, I htought it was a joke to seel some sort of stupid kid toy.

Here's an interesting little thing I noticed in the preview.

There is a scene where the kid is sitting on a dock and SharkBoy jumps out of the water, on this dock, there is a bag of food sitting beside him.

Whats so interesting about a bag of food you may ask?

Well, the bag has the Big Kahuna Burger logo on it.

Why is that interesting?

Well, Big Kahuna Burger is a fictional burger joint, created by Mr. Quentin Tarantino. You may remember the scene near the beginning of Pulp Fiction where Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) takes a bite out of the guy's burger.

This burger joint is also featured in other Tarantino flicks such as Reservoir Dogs and the Tarantino/Rodriguez film, From Dusk Till Dawn.

For Tarantino's latest film, Kill Bill, Rodriguez was paid $1 to direct a scene in the movie, and then for Rodriguez's latest film, SIn City, Quentin was paid $1 to direct a scene. So obviously the two know each other pretty well.

I thought this was pretty cool.

I saw the movie. It sucked but it was 100% about Lucid Dreaming. The kid kept a dream journal and had lucid dreams throughout the movie.

I saw the trailer, even though i am cynical about this movie i will watch it, even though it just looks the same as Spy Kids.
