Feb. 14th, 2014 09:48 amI saw The Lego Movie last night and it was shockingly awesome.
I want to put that into perspective for you: I generally dislike going to the movies, and yet I got the lead out and went to a movie because I desperately wanted to see the Lego Movie, I was prepared to love it, I was predisposed to find it great, and it still shocked me with how much I enjoyed it.
It does have the worst earworm of all time, which I am still humming this morning, but if you're going to have a song stuck in your head, a song whose primary lyrics are "everything is awesome" is not a bad choice.
It was a funny movie and it had a cute plot, but it also had a real depth of thought in terms of what the film was saying and how it was saying it. I said to someone that it had a great metacommentary on imaginative play -- there's a discussion to be had about the interplay between structure and imagination and how it's all sketched in shades of grey.
Anyway, I enjoyed it a lot, and I will be humming "everything is awesome!" all day.
