Have you seen Lady and the Tramp?

Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Have you seen Lady and the Tramp?

Ben's too old for Kyle, but he'd make a fucking great Hal.
What's Hal like?
(bear in mind all I know about GL I learned from JL)
Lady and the Tramp
Yes, Lady is sufficiently princessy for me. But the rest is all bleh. And I hate that, like, the only cats Disney chose to make were those horrible mean cats in that movie. I realize Mickey is a mouse, but dude. Get over it. Cats are the coolest.
Dumbo was incredibly sad, with the mom and the baby, and just mean, at times. And the Elephants on Parade business gave me nightmares for years. It still creeps me out, to this day. I don't get any pleasure out of watching that movie. Just pain and fear. Which is why I don't like it.
Also, I just got off the phone with my mom, and we've made plans to see "The Polar Express" in Imax 3-D. We're kind of looking forward to the scariness. We figure, if we're going to see it, let's see it right. This is the first time I'm actually going to see a scary movie of my own free will, which is interesting.
So, an ordinary guy given a heroic opportunity, who loses a lot, goes a little dark, goes a little crazy, nearly destroys the universe, finally finds some redemption.
Huh. Yeah, that'd work. *grin*
Dumbo makes me cry every. single. time. Specially when he goes to visit his momma and she sticks her trunk through the bars and rocks him with her trunk and I'm all teared up just thinking about it.
Interesting--this week's Nova is about the real story behind The Great Escape. Trivia tidbit for those who grew up in Chicago: one of the Americans who helped to dig the tunnel (although he was transferred out of the camp with many other Americans before the breakout) was WGN-TV's Ray Raynor, children's TV host extraordinaire.
I still know the Green Lantern Oath, which I learned when I was about 8. I forget birthdays and deadlines, but the brain cells hold onto the Green Lantern Oath, something so obscure that they won't even ask it in trivia.
You want useless? I still know the Boy Scout Laws, even though I never was (or did) a Boy Scout.
