The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Joins Aimee and the rest of you all in the Incredibles love. I want to see it again, like now!

Tonight I was seated all the way at the end of the row of Buffistas. This being the second time I'd seen it, there were several moments where I chose to watch everybody's reactions instead of what was on the screen. This was quite entertaining.
We all noted afterward that we Buffistae were almost alone in laughing at the henchman drinking game. It apparently even got us a couple of "why did you seven people all laugh really hard at that?" looks.

The Incredibles was so awesome. I want to see it again, too.
Two of the people who were staring, confused, at the loud laughing group were sitting next to me. Although I spent a lot of time being charmed by the little kids behind me, who had comments throughout the movie like, "Oh! I love that lampshade! That one! I love it so much!" and "Oh my god! Thank you so much mom and dad! Thank you for taking me to this movie! It is so funny! Thank you!" Very cute.
Also, I don't think the stage show received enough appreciation. That was awesome, too. I love Disney. A lot. Even if Belle was part of the chorus singing "Grand Ole Flag." She's in America, now. Maybe she's an expat. She never did have an accent...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It apparently even got us a couple of "why did you seven people all laugh really hard at that?" looks.
Ha! I can totally see that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
P-C, it was when they all were in the airplane hangar, trying to find a plane. The Henchmen we watching the robot attacking the city, and said something like, "Everytime one of them runs, you take a shot." Of course, then they opened a bottle of champagne, making it the frou frouist drinkig game ever.
When we were talking about the stage show after the movie, Debetesse and I discovered that we had both had a Buffista reaction to the movie clips they were showing behind the dancers, which was "OMG, it's TOY STORY slash!"

Aaha. Thanks, Lee. I may have actually caught those words but didn't put together what they meant. I think I was busy thinking, like someone else upthread, about the similarities to Sky Captain.

Christ on a stick. The Incredibles made over $70 million its opening weekend. This past weekend? Over $50 million. Plus? Its gross is $144 million, which means it's made over $20 million on the weekdays. Man.

If I only had a brain...
Also, the gruesome-looking Polar Express was a big box-office disapopintment: it was outgrossed (as it were) by the second week-end of Incredibles.
