What was the one about the wind-up father-and-son mouse toy that gets tossed out and goes on a lengthy adventure, eventually finding their way to the bottom of the ocean, or something? They made an animated movie out of it, but I'm pretty sure it was a book first.
The Mouse and His Child - Russell Hoban, I think.
Schroedinger's mouse?
Eaten by his cat. Or
was he?!?!
Say, if we're talking about musicians we never should have liked I can casually mention making out with Leif Garrett...
Of course. If you were in
Natter...
Well I guess we can all agree that I read Bitches before Natter now. Whoops.
The Mouse and His Child - Russell Hoban, I think.
I loved that movie, though I never read the book. It had a very surreal, dream-like quality to it. I've had people insist I was making it up when I've described it to them.
I did read
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
which was a really great book. I thought the movie was okay, but it bugged me that they felt they had to change her name to Brisby. It was during or not too long after the frisbee heyday, so I guess they thought kids would get too distracted by a main character whose name sounded like the popular flying disk toy. WhatEV.
OK, my wacky british fake cooking show is called Posh Nosh.
We all need to be obsessed with it.
lucky that I haven't accidentally stepped on their bodies after my cat killed them.
Too late! BTDT.
One of the many sexy things about Sail.
Aw, shucks.

Thanks, hon.
My tv can't find it. Must be a New York thing.
Which is sad cause Posh Nosh sounds like a show I could be intrigued by given my predilections.
Also? Firefox 2's spellcheck in fields? I could kiss this new feature.
We all need to be obsessed with it.
But I already have a cooking show I'm obsessed with!
But this is a pretend one!

This customer review sounds like you, Sean (except their spelling):
I can't tell you if I have seen this movie more than once or how old I was ( young I know ). I just know that in the midst of tradjity this movie is one thing I have not forgotten. I don't know why it touched my young heart so as to make me remember it years and years latter to search it out. I haven't even recieved my copy yet, but feel compelled to write and reccomend it. I did not even remember the name of it and would ask everyone I knew if they remembered it only to hear I must have " Dreamed it " I spent hours looking and now I can not wait to revisit this movie again and again. There is more in this story than the superficial, it is deep and moving it is "human" in its constant attempt for knowledge and independance. I just hope it is not lost in the mass of ill forgotten, this movie truely is a stiring and wonderful story worth the search.
