But this is a pretend one!
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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.

I'll have to read the book now. It's nice to know I'm not the only one to be accused of making it up, or dreaming, upon describing it.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Maybe I'll just sit here and cry.
Wow, I'm going to make a terrible husband.
Well, yes. But not if you marry one of those strapping sexy competent women, like Aeryn Sun. Then they'll not be expecting a mouse- or spider-removal skills set.
I thought the movie was okay, but it bugged me that they felt they had to change her name to Brisby
WTFF?
If you liked Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, may I recommend Terry Pratchett's kids' book: Maurice and His Amazing Educated Rodents? It's set in the Diskworld, but it's not really a Diskworld Book, per se. And it's very much bouncing off the NIMH book. I giggled like a loon.
Posh Nosh!
Oh, fabulous - I only happened across that a couple of times, but I laughed my ass off. In fact, I had a Posh Nosh quotation as my tagline for ages:
Pure and well balanced, like a nun on a tightrope(Richard E Grant's character describing the wine)

Oh, dear. Thank you, Hec. I don't think I'm ever sleeping again!
We have mice, but I've been assured that they're only in the basement. And they do treat for them. Plus, they wouldn't come all the way to the second floor. Nope. Not gonna happen. That river in Egypt sure is a nice one!

move out and draw fire
A friend of mine is a psychologist who works at NIMH. She saw the movie with her daughter, and bought her daughter the book (I don't think she herself read it), but never realized that NIMH was her NIMH until I told her.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I hope you caught the mouse, P-C. I would have freaked out if it were me.
