Loved Persepolis. And still regret that I only bought the first two volumes when I was last in Paris.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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.

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

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.
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
(I'm quoting Amych here but the board keeps eating it. Y'all know the one I mean, right?)
I KNOW, RIGHT??!?!?!?!?!ELEVENTY!!!!
The board ate my post (I think because it doesn't like me quoting Amych's squee above, or maybe it's just jealous of the AWESOME AWESOME ROBOTS), but what it boiled down to was that I was in tears for about the last 20 minutes of the movie, but most of it was going over the kids' heads. And thinking about it again, I...I'm just going to go give my Roomba a hug. Brb.
