Oh yeah, Waitress and Persepolis were both on my list. And Miss Pettigrew is Frances McDormand, right? I forgot about that one.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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 wasn't impressed with Eastern Promises. No Country for Old Men was very well done and Javier Bardem plays an excellent serial killer
in other news, i went to see Wall-E tonight with my parents and niece. we all loved it. so adorable it hurts. if you're worried about taking a small child, don't. my niece is almost 4 and she barely even moved and all of the other kids were really well behaved too.

Loved Persepolis. And still regret that I only bought the first two volumes when I was last in Paris.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh good, I was just going to ask if it was okay for a 5-year truck-loving boy who hasn't seen too much in the theater. It doesn't have any super sad points does it?

no, i think a 5-year truck-loving boy will love it. what's not to love about robots?

Well, this was my point, but, since he hasn't gone to the movies too much and he can be a little sensitive, I think his mom was worried about the Disney effect.

There's definitely no Bambi's Mom moment that'll scar a whole generation of filmgoers -- a couple of emotionally gripping/exciting points, but nothing the kids in the theater when we saw it couldn't handle.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
As far as I know, the 2 volumes of Persepolis is all there is, megan.
You should rent Children of Men if you haven't already seen it, Hec.
