River ,'Safe'
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.
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.
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.

You do know that fishes can't speak English, right?
SHUFFLE PAPER AROUND
P-C obvioulsy hasn't watched enough Spongebob! Dude! They make burgers under water!
I thought Shark Tale was cute, if all about the meta...maybe I just liked the Chi-Lites being in the flashback sequence.
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.
When are they ever gonna do an animated movie about a plucky trilobite?
eta: Speaking of which, here's the world's largest trilobite: [link]
I love how in order to give a sense of its size, they have a drawing of it next to its natural enemy, the house cat....
t goes digging for that old script
