I've only seen my dad cry three times in my life. So the fact he even sniffled is huge. I just suffered from allergies with a few eye leaks and sniffled a lot. Good thing I got a huge wad of napkins for my popcorn.
Never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth?

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.

Always Anti-fascist!
That is why "Freedomland" is on my netflix queue rather than a theater choice...was pretty sure I'd cry.

I remember my dad crying at some kind of 'animals finding their way home' story when I was a kid, and knowing then that he was less cool than I was. Maybe Homeward Bound ? Was that about animals?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
You're probably thinking of The Incredible Journey (which I watched almost as many times as The Secret of NIMH). Homeward Bound was a (kind of) remake of it, in which the animals were given human voices and sassy personalities.

erika, is wasn't bawl your eyes out cry in your hanky, it was more a constant slow leak. I'm the kind that can cry at a Hallmark commercial, so that gives you a standard to go by.

Yup, I remember Michael J. Fox being one of the voices. There were definitely sassy voices. Oh dad, why you such the 11 year old girl?

Hey. New board.
Aww, I watched Homeward Bound like a bajillion times.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Maybe I'll see SoaP tomorrow. I spent today rearranging furniture (heavy. ow). I was going to wait until a weekday, but since its boxoffice is low, I can at least throw in my fistful of dollars.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm not ready for World Trade Center yet.
I wanted to go see SoaP, but it didn't happen. I think I'll go with GF tomorrow. Since we couldn't achieve a group consensus we went to rent a flick instead and watched 8 Heads in a Duffle Bag. 2 of the 6 of us had seen it before. All of us laughed until we cried. I was pleased that it was as much fun as the first time.
Scary Movie 4 was also rented. We'll watch that tomorrow with the boys.
But I really am sad that I haven't seen SoaP yet.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I tried to watch Freedomland but got very confused and fell asleep. You might like it, though.
Snakes on a Plane was a surprisingly good, big-budget Sci-Fi Original Movie. Yes, it's better than Boa vs. Python and Pterodactyl. COMBINED.
