No, Madagascar was more or less crap. Except for the pengiuns. And the lemur voiced by Ali G.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
See Skrat was the only reedeeming thing for me in the first Ice Age
Yep. Also, I had major issues with the humans shaving and wearing jewelry and having twentieth-century family dynamics and all-around being way too evolved for my tastes. It took me right out of the movie; I don't care that it was animated.
I had a similar reaction to the fact that in Shark Tale, a movie that takes place entirely underwater, they SHUFFLE PAPER AROUND.

Hey. New board.
I kinda like that Top Indy Movies list. Donnie Darko representing at number 2 makes me happy.
I've never seen the original Ice Age. I loved Matilda, though. It was one of those movies that managed to capture just the right amount of the book, for me. And the book defined my childhood more than even the other Roald Dahl's, so that's good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You do know that fishes can't speak English, right?

Always Anti-fascist!
I thought Shark Tale was cute, if all about the meta...maybe I just liked the Chi-Lites being in the flashback sequence.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Exercise caution before watching Spongebob, then, what with all the taking baths and showers and drinking glasses of water and doing spit-takes and drooling and mopping the floor and some characters occasionally having fishbowls on their end tables. You have to embrace the cognitive dissonance or it'll break you.
eta: Bwah! Beautiful Spongebob xpost!

Fuck! You're kidding me.
And, heh, I haven't been able to get into Spongebob either.

I was barely able to sit through the trailer for Shark Tale. The "fish" in the movie gave me the heebie jeebies.
