Hugo ticketstubI have to say, the trailers I saw for this movie were a bit deceptive. There is an adventure, that was accurate enough, but the trailers seem to put an awful lot of weight on the mysterious little automaton that you see floating through the air. While there is a great deal of attention put on this clockwork boy in the movie, it is not the focus or central theme of the movie. It's actually all much more interesting and worthy than that. It's a rather fantastical 3D movie about the magic of the movies going back to the very beginnings of moving pictures while also tackling the rather more significant subject of the importance and value of having purpose to one's life. You know, why are we here? And all... I really enjoyed this well made movie and the interesting subjects it raises, and while it isn't necessary to see it in 3D, I will say that the effects were quite well done and possibly worth a few dollars extra.

4/5

If we lived on a planet with 79 hour days, would we all still be complaining that there aren't enough hours in the day? #hypotheticallytrue

@meekakitty I still don't understand how people can dial wrong numbers anymore. Actually, I didn't know people still dialed numbers.

@CRRaysHead90 And that's the point. If your govt can deprive that group of equal rights, then they can deprive YOU of equality as well.

@CRRaysHead90 It's about equality, and arbitrarily depriving one group of a right deprives that group of any happiness derived therein.

@CRRaysHead90 The right to happiness. I'm pretty sure it's in the Declaration of Independence. http://t.co/kw5JwxIA

@CRRaysHead90 By arbitrarily deciding that one group doesn't deserve basic human rights, you must then forfeit your own human rights.

Seriously, where the hell do we get off telling Iran or China that they need to work on their human rights records... #hypocritenation

Yay NC! Once again joining the ranks of states where hate and ignorance are more important than happiness and respect. #screwhumanrights

Does anyone else think SBC's "The Dictator" seems an awful lot like a more offensive "Coming to America"?
