'Objects In Space'
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.
I'll just have to hope he sticks with the text, and doesn't add in anything from his recent bouts of Halo 2. I do not want to hear about Pooh and Piglet fighting the Covenant.
It's VERY creepy to hear Pete's voice coming out of my TV set, for the record. I'm thinking we may need to stage an intervention.
I just remembered the existence of the superhero name Gay-zer beam in The Incredibles.
The superhero that, conveniently, looked like Cyclops. And was named GAY-zer beam.
That's awesome.
wonders what kind of baked treats and/or cash it would take to get an audio tape of Pete reading a Pooh story for Emma......
I'll see what I can pull off for you.

Oh ... dear. Yes, intervention may be needed.
Bear in mind, he's reprising the role that made Michael Caine a star in Alfie.
Eh. He's playing an entirely different character called Alfie in a film that bears no resemblence to the Gilbert film
Did Alfie break Caine in the US? Because it was Zulu and (especially The Ipcress File which made him a star over here.
I thought HURRY SUNDOWN broke Caine in the US ...oh, you meant as a success?
In all seriousness, I don't know if IPCRESS was very big here, but ZULU I've seen written up as a turning point here as well. It probably didn't make him a star, but it got him attention.
I thought Ipcress was pretty big over here, but I don't know if that's just an impression I got from how often it was shown on TV when I was growing up.
Rewatched 7 Brides for 7 Brothers over the weekend. It kinda bugged me a bit. At the end, wouldn't the dad's see that it was ONE baby, not 6 and NOT make the girls marry the boys? Or did the girls keep up the charade that they had in fact, had THE SEX so the dads would let them marry the boys or am I really reading too much into a musical that's about kidnapping and Stockholm Syndrome?
The best part about Seven Brides is the barn-raising dance. The rest of it--eh.
Well, the dads didn't know which of the girls had had Teh Sex, just that one did, so they all had to get married just in case.
Right. The girls weren't fessing up as to whose baby it was. Think of Lace before its time.
Course, them bein' frontier days, all Daddy really needed to do was wait an hour and see who leaked.
