It's all about willing suspension of disbelief. People let talking animals slide in Disney flicks, because they're Disney flicks. Likewise, anything with Unicorns or elves or blue superheroes who neglect pants is given a pass because they occur in a world distinctly different from our own, where such things exist.Ulquiorra4sama said:I'm surprised that's actually an issue to some people. It's like saying you don't like unicorns because horses aren't supposed to have horns. Or that you didn't like the Lion king because animals aren't supposed to talk. Sometimes you gotta play around a bit for the sake of suspense and personally i think wolves do it just fine, because as wild animals go wolves are pretty intimidating.Rabidkitten said:Wolves don't attack humans btw. Like ever, I think there are almost no recorded incidents of wild wolves attacking a human. Dogs while actually just wolves, are prone to attacking humans but in reality they often feel cornered, mistreated, and scared. Something that doesn't often happen while your a big wolf out in the middle of the vast wilds. Wolves are terrified of humans, and will generally avoid them at all cost.
OT: You had me at "Liam Neeson".
Another quote from the movie I thought was cool was about the place being "a sort of prototype for hell, occupied by men unfit for mankind." Something along those lines.twaddle said:I want to see your face.
Feel hands in mine...
its lines like that (although cheesy) that made me consider seeing this movie and it was bob who made it a definite
Since Neeson's character is apparently hired to protect the workers by shooting wolves, I'm walking into it with the impression the wolves are taking a sort of supernatural revenge.Rabidkitten said:Wolves don't attack humans btw.

The reason I have a problem with that myth is that some delightful people use it as a way to further their agenda of making that species extinct. But I agree, it's a film and it's a neat plot-device, as long as you remember that they're not going to hunt you down like that when there's plenty of prey with more meat and less sharp sticks out there when you leave the theatre.Ulquiorra4sama said:I'm surprised that's actually an issue to some people.

After the main production staff credits I start poking people still in their seats with a stick to make them leave.CrystalShadow said:Ah... To stay through the credits...
The thing that always seems to annoy the cinema staff around here.
They don't say so, but you can feel their presence as they get annoyed because they're not allowed to clean up until the last person has left...
Being that last person is always an awkward feeling.
