OKAY LISTEN UP UK, GERMANY, SPAIN, NORWAY, TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN. Httyd2 has not done as well as expected on opening weekend in America. This makes it our duty to make this film a massive smash HIT in our countries when it’s released. We need to knock it out the park. Dreamworks animation DEPENDS on us at this very moment. I don’t know about you but I sure as hell am NOT gonna let any kid grow up without this amazing company and exceptional original stories. BROTHERS, SISTERS, DRAGONS. STAND WITH ME AND MARCH FORTH INTO THE CINEMA. SPREAD THIS MESSAGE FAR AND WIDE. DREAMWORKS ANIMATION WILL NOT FALL. WE CAN STILL DO THIS.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
DREAMWORKS NEEDS US.
SPREAD THIS LIKE A WILDFIRE
This movie is being held back until early July here in NZ in order to tie-in with the school holidays here. Still, you can bet I will be in the theatre opening day to see it. :( I am so bummed to hear it had an awful start over in the states (especially considering all the hype I’ve seen).
I am so confused as to how a film I’ve heard nothing but love for has done so badly
FELLOW EUROPEANS, HARKEN UNTO ME
IF WE CAN UNITE TO GET HYPE OVER EUROVISION WE CAN DO THE SAME FOR THIS MOVIE
WE MUST RISE
(via keyshakitty)
So we were allowed to watch a bit of the opening of the Olympics at work and eat pizza and ice cream and that was awesome as hell as well as colossally embarrassing
but
those of you who watched will know that they did a small tribute of people who had passed on with a song and dance routine before the parade of nations
and this woman to the right of me just said “dude, that’s kind of random, showing a bunch of dead people.”
Now, I don’t like making scenes, but I was compelled to ask her why she thought it was random. She looked a bit flustered and annoyed and said it had no relevance to the Olympics.
I basically said something along the lines of ‘when is death irrelevant to anything’ and I don’t think she got whatever I said because she left and the whole thing was awkward, but I’m just left to wonder how many other people felt the same way about that segment.
Is the world so utterly unaware that it is always, in some place, dying? That there are people who will be watching this year’s Olympics without that person that they were sat beside four years ago, or eight, or twelve? That perhaps, in four years, they won’t be there to watch it themselves? Is death really so closeted away and 'awkward’ to people? Is death not something that we should talk about and remember and love? Yes, I do mean love. We have to love life, but we must love death, we must love the memories and the laughter and the sadness that is so painful to us when all this has passed, because that is the truest sign that life is important. If we ignore death we cannot cherish life. We have to love death to accept it.
Is death not acceptable any more? Are we so busy with distracting ourselves from our very own mortality that we cannot appreciate that being mortal is what makes it so amazing that we are?
I don’t know, maybe it was just me reading into it too much or being too philosophical, but that little instance just made me terribly, terribly sad.
