Anyone seen or taken kids to see Curious George? I'm wondering how long it is and if Owen is too young to sit through it? Christopher wants to try.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

mr. flea took Eve. It's definitely age-appropriate - not scary at all. How is he at sitting for movies at home? Eve will watch an entire Pixar movie at one sitting, so we felt safe going to the theater. This is 86 minutes, according to imdb, but don't forget the previews, which tack on maybe 20 minutes. Expect O to sit on a lap, probably.

He adores tv and will sit for long periods (over an hour) and watch if it's something he likes--and he likes monkeys. He does watch Winnie the Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin from start to finish, so he may have the attention span.
We could always try it. I'll just make sure they take snacks and sit close to the aisle so they can leave if he won't sit still for it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
When we took Em to see Nightmare Before Christmas, she did get futzy and want to run around. THere was a handicapped area that she was able to do that in, with Joe and I sitting with her and didn't bother the other patrons.
Just a thought if he gets kindof rambunctious.

Preschooler moviegoing! Our one trip so far was a bit of a bust. I took B. to Wallace and Gromit a few months ago, and he didn't make it through, even though we were the only people in the cinema and he had his own booster seat and everything. He tends to watch DVDs in 30 - 45 minute bursts though. Plus: subject matter scarier than expected. I don't think he'll be seeing Nightmare before Christmas until he's about 8.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A great line of dialog from Snakes on a Plane: "Bomb squad missed them. Particle detection missed them. And the goddamn infrared team missed them. Because the fucking bastards are cold-blooded."
I have to admit, I'm really looking forward to SoaP.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Okay, now I'm also looking forward to SoaP.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Has anyone else here seen The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday? It's a 1970s Western, when more "adult" ideas and themes became acceptable. Done by American International and Samuel Z. Arkoff.
It's the one where two men (Lee Marvin and Oliver Reed (as a half-Indian, half-white man)) try to get back the money that their former business partner (Robert Culp) swindled them out of 15 years before. They're joined by Marvin's current "business" partner (Strother Martin) and a prostitute (Kay Lenz) that crossed their trail when Reed stole a patrol wagon from the police, who'd just raided a bordello.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. This one has too many plot developments to go into, including roles by the madam of the bordello (Sylvia Miles) and Culp's wife (Elizabeth Ashley). Delightfully loopy and a grand time for all. Well, the sexual content may make it inappropriate for the younger set, but you get the idea.

This makes me laugh and laugh.
