Dude. Spoiled it halfway to hell, yo. Reading this thread made me want to watch this film, but now, alas! 'T'is ruininated.

I s'pose I had it coming reading it, but still, is mini-font that hard?

Go watch it anyway, is tre good.
Also seriously, there is a time limit on how long something can be considered a spoiler.

I'm sorry.  I guess I'm just used to being the last one to watch current movies around here.  But you should absolutely still watch the movie, it's great.

You see her lying there dying in the first scene of the film.  It is not a surprise that she dies, nothing has been ruined for you da'link.  It's a great movie - ch-check it out!

Yeah, no real spoilers in this thread.

Well, I thought it was really good, although I had problems with the ending, which didn't really seem to follow from what came before (although I did like the ambiguity as to the nature of the film's reality).

Yeah, it was good, but I haven't felt a need to watch it again since I first saw it.  Unlike "Children of Men" which I saw the same weekend but have re-watched about five times since.

Heck, I've watched "300" about a dozen times now (it's one of three HD-DVDs that I have so it's pretty much just on in the background all the dang time).

Ah, that's cool then. Sorry peoples, it seemed kinda spoilery at the time. I almost saw it a few nights ago, but ended up watching A Boy & His Dog again. Man, that film is awesome. I just sat there and laughed for a good 10 minutes at the ending.

But yeah I am totally gonna watch that Pan's Labyrinth sometime in the next few weeks. And Children of Men, again. Also 300. This is why I love you people, you give me ideas.

I've had Pan's Labyrinth sitting in my Tivo list since I taped it on HBO about a month ago. I'm waiting for the right drug to come along so that I can maximize my enjoyment.

I may never watch the movie because I don't actually do any drugs.

Maybe you'll get a searing fever.  Sometimes I hallucinate a bit with those.

Hobbes was real because there was no way Calivn could have tied himself to the chair.

Pan was real because there was no way for Ofelia to lose the Captain in that corridor, and how else do you explain her mom getting miraculously better and then getting worse again in seconds when the mandrake root was introduced and then destroyed?
