Why the hell is Metalbeak not a band name.
Actually, IS Metalbeak a band name.

My wife cried actual tears every single time this trailer at the theater this summer. This probably means that I will be able to issue a field report whenever the hell this thing comes out.

i just looked at with only one squinty eye and saw the whale! he is flyin away from u, his fins are up and he is wearing a very tall hat. cover is much improved by this.

I always did as well, and never even thought to question whether it was a whale or not until this thread. I guess this owl movie was at least good for something.

things left unexplained:
-- how metal flakes can create a force field thing that traps owl's "giblets"-- why owl racism exists-- how come they are supposed to be active at night but are only every doing anything in golden hour-- what moon-blanking is/why it happens-- how owls make weapons and helmets-- why the brother owl turned evil

...this sounds wronger than it must be. (I hope.)
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 2 October 2010 03:41 (thirteen years ago) link
No the metal flecks are a big thing in the movie. I was giggling so hard whenever the evil owls were like, "We have collected nearly enough flecks to control the world!"

Maybe this whole thing is an elaborate troll on someone...somewhere. But who?
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 2 October 2010 03:45 (thirteen years ago) link
The bad guys were driven by some sort of owl eugenics wherein barn owls are the master race, and the metal flecks give them power.

I think the whole thing is a troll on Don Bluth, if anyone...after so many years of him making movies with evil owls, giving a whole movie about evil owls and very very obvious Pure of Heart Goodness themes to Zach Snyder.
― Mormons come out of the sky and they stand there (Abbbottt), Saturday, 2 October 2010 03:50 (thirteen years ago) link

I predict that this will be the better than any other movie that Zach Snyder has made to this point...

Finally saw this last night. Really has to be one of the most insane fantasy films ever. The almost palpable realism of the face fluff, making us want to pet the screen. The relentless cognitive dissonance of the premise. The Dead Can Dance Moment (so glad you warned me about this Abbs). My wife loved it so much I think she was having an irl out of body experience.
We also watched this at like 1 in the morning so there was an added layer of hypnagogic delerium on my part.
