Paper Towns (2015)

There are actually two different slip sleeves for this movie.
One is the foldout sleeve, the other one is just a regular thin
cardboard sleeve (the copy I received from Amazon).

I just recently picked up this film and gave it a shot and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is definitely aimed at teens, which might be part of the reason I enjoyed it so much (barely out of that age range). I enjoyed both Nat Wolfes performance and Cara's and the film, like the book, actually carried a message throughout the film about the human problem of over-romanticizing and idealizing people. Glad I picked this one up and I recommend it to anyone just looking for a fun pic!

Im curious to see this after loving Cara's performance in Suicide Squad. I had no idea this Papertowns movie made so much money - 85 million from a budget of $12 million!

You're curious after that wretched performance?!?

She's much better in this film, but still pretty flat. And of course it made a lot of money. It's based on a YA novel.

I dont think it was wretched at all - she played three different characters in the film - a disturbed stressed-out emotionally wrecked possessed woman, a creepy Aztekian/Myan witch and a diva sorceress - all fun to watch.

I'll check out Papertowns then.

Cara is great in this imo, though

[Show spoiler]she's not in the whole movie

I thought she was fine in SS besides the final battle when she was talking to the squad.. very awkward

He means that he liked her boobies.

I noticed something funny when watching this last night and I'm surprised that I didn't notice it before as I have watched this movie many times.

Towards the end, after Q has found Margot and after they've had their conversation over milkshakes they say their farewells by the bus that Q gets on. After they kiss and Q makes his way to the bus we have a shot of Margot looking at him. If you look on the far left of the frame in the background you can see a female extra waiting for her cue to start walking in the background. She goes to take a step, then pauses as if she's not sure she should be walking yet, then she carries on walking in the background. I can't believe I didn't notice it before but now I have, it's really obvious lol. This is approximately an hour and thirty six minutes into the movie. I'm surprised it got missed in the edit.

It's something i'll never be able to unsee every time I watch Paper Towns now! This is a great movie though, I really love it.

After how well TFIOS did, obviously Paper Towns under-performed, but I hope that doesn't scare them off of adapting more John Green. Paper Towns was a solid movie, but after TFIOS, the bar was set too high. The only other Green novel that could reach it would be Looking for Alaska.

This is one of my favourite teen/ coming of age movies ever. I think it's absolutely fantastic. I really identify with the main theme and with Q's character, it reminds of being back in school/ college. I think it's beautifully put together and acted and I love the soundtrack.

It’s one of my favorites too, I revisit it more often than most of the movies in my collection. I only went to see it in theaters because my sister wanted to, I left the theater so surprised. I wish it was marketed better, the posters/trailers didn’t help the movie appeal to a wider audience.

I recommend Sing Street, and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl if you haven’t seen them already.

I wish I'd seen it theatrically. It's such an awesome movie. I enjoyed Sing Street but I didn't love it or anything, I haven't seen Me, Earl and the Dying Girl yet.
