Corpse Bride is lovely. It's a very, very sweet movie, and I am going to go see it several more times. My *only* complaint was that the sound system at the theatre we were in was apparently not quite good enough to deliver crisp sound during some of the songs. And the soundtrack CD doesn't include lyrics, drat it. (Yes, I bought the CD right after seeing the movie. Don't even act surprised.)

The trailers included Curse of the Were-Rabbit (yay!), Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire (yay!) Mirrormask (yaaaaay!), and ... Chicken Little (um, no. Thanks).

By the point that you have flames roaring overhead in a jet loaded with oxygen tanks and jet fuel, isn't a safe landing pretty much a pipe dream?

Pretty much, yeah. Fire abord an aricraft is about the worse thing that can happen. Planes can go from someone smelling smoke to the plane diving out of control in minutes.

eta: and even if the fire does not involve fuel or the oxygen system, things can still go very bad very quickly.

Chicken Little (um, no. Thanks)

Same writers as Emperor's New Groove, and Zach Braff as the voice of the chicken. They had me at "Panic!"

I'm so glad I managed to not bear a grudge against him for (presumably) being the only guy that's gotten to make out extensively with Christian Kane. I'd have missed a lot of good entertainment otherwise.

Corpse Bride was adorable. The music was...not Danny's best work, but fine all the same.

The only real problem I had with it is that the Corpse Bride was so much more appealing than the living bride that I couldn't for the life of me understand what Victor was so upset about.

Emperor's New Groove is the movie I give the award to for most surprisingly brilliant. I really expected it to be terrrrible, but I honestly don't think there was more than a 2 minute stretch that I could comfortably breathe from the laughing. So count me in is hopeful for Chicken Little, too.

Plus, you're right, that trailer was awesome.

Fandom ate my brain and I was thinking "I wonder how long it will take for post-morten Victor/Victoria/Emily fic to show up"

I liked it. Possibly more than Nightmare, but then, I don't have quite the love for that that a lot of people do.

We got Yours, Mine & Ours, Chicken Little, Wererabbit, and GoF for trailers. The apparently think of it solely as a kid's movie (there were a lot of little kids there), either that or they assume everyone else already knows about any other fannish things they'd go see (*cough*Serenity*cough*)

I'd have to agree. While listening to the soundtrack, I played the "Oh, that's from Beetlejuice! That bit's from Nightmare" game.

I agree. But I liked Victoria. I thought she was very sweet.

With no real chance of Oingo Boingo ever reuniting again, I fear I'm going to be doing this for the rest of his career. Which is a shame. (Not that there's anything wrong with a dancing skeleton singing Cab Calloway, but...BTDT.)

(And no, the fact that I am talking about being jaded about dancing skeletons singing Cab Calloway has not been lost on me. But still.)

Considering Elfman has been personally doing hellish variations on Cab Calloway since The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo stage show in the 70s, it does seem like he should be able to at least try something like an evil Duke Ellington or a ghoulish Slim Gaillard by now.
