Tyrannosaur : Misleading Title

Misleading Title

See subject.

Re: Misleading Title

What did u think the movie was about? Dinosaurs? :)

Re: Misleading Title

I agree. I took my kid to see this as he's at that age where it's T-Rex this and Velociraptor that. We left as soon as the main character explained that Tyrannosaur was just something he called his wife. My son was livid. You try explaining to an eight year old that the title of the movie was metaphorical.

Re: Misleading Title

Wow Im surprised you lasted that long with your sondidnt you realise earlier that they aint no T-Rex in the movie :)

and next time? Trailer:a short promotional film composed of clips showing highlights of a movie due for release in the near future.Heard of it? :)

@FanOfGood

I'm just trying to make sense of that.
It took you fifty eight minutes of swearing, violence, domestic abuse and brutal rape to realise this film wasn't about dinosaurs?
AND YOUR EIGHT YEAR OLD KID MANAGED TO SIT THROUGH ALL OF IT AS WELL!?

Ten minutes sitting at my keyboard trying to think of something and I can only say that I don't know what to say.

"My son was livid"
He's probably now very scarred.

Re: Misleading Title

So you admit to being simpleminded enough to think that a 8 year old person would instantly get scared by seing in a movie what he very likely sees every day in the real world (except for rape)?

Re: Misleading Title

Thats amazing. I dunno if i can actually believe that. A british film, first film Paddy Considine has directed and you thought it was gunna be about Dinosaurs? Even if you knew none of this how did you not realize did you just walk into a cinema.I suppose i can kinda see why you might of thought that considering the promotional poster. but even thats pretty obvious its symbolic. little tip, dont buy your son elephant if he moves onto living animals, that would deffo give him a shock!

This is the dumbest post on here.

Sorry, bud. You get the Dumbest Post Award. Check the post dates.

Re: Misleading Title

I did exactly the same thing. Also, I thought it was quite cynical how the tie-in children's dot-to-dot and colouring books depict scenes of domestic violence and alcoholism.

My wife finds them quite troubling when she sees the centre pull-out pictures from them stuck to our fridge, but little Charlie is so proud of his colouring. It's hard to explain to him that we just don't like looking at a A3 depiction of a woman's bruised and battered face every morning at breakfast, and that it's not his fault for going over the lines.

Re: Misleading Title

troll!

if your not a troll, your kid should be put in care as your obviously not a good parent for taking your child to an '18' rated movie, also your pretty thick!

Fenton!! Fenton..Oh Jesus Christ..FENTOOON

Re: Misleading Title

You can't be serious, the violence, rage and animal cruelty didn't make you wonder within the first few minutes, also the F word was in every other sentence

I don't need a signature.

Re: Misleading Title

Ermm Seriously, this film is an 18 certificate. If you can't even be arsed to figure out what a film is about before taking your kids to it, then you could at the very least check the BBFC certificate, and see that your son is 10 years short of the minimum requirement.

Alternatively, you might just have made the whole thing about taking your son to it as a way of making a point that covers your own embarrassment/frustration at having gone to a film yourself with unmet expectations.

Re: Misleading Title

My 10 year old son is doing a presentation about insects, so I took him to see The Human Centipede. After we could see where the film was going, we left the cinema in disgrace. Next week we plan to see "Big Ass Spider".

Re: Misleading Title

True. Should be "Schizophrenics in the ghetto"

Re: Misleading Title

There are no dragons in "there be dragons" either.

Re: Misleading Title

To be honest, I must have scrolled right past this a dozen times on Lovefilm, thinking it was a low-budget monster movie.

It wasn't until I heard about it somewhere that I had any clue it was a serious film.
