A little too close to home, though Emperors are well known for their lack of anybody home upstairs.
I think billytea might be able to confirm penguins aren't all that bright animals. Not that they need to be.
I was extremely disturbed by the bit where Mumbles zones out in the zoo and hated the Latino boys' bit with the smaller penguins.
They *could* have made a decent kids' movie out of it which could have been enjoyed by parents/adults if they had tried. But they got all self-righteous on us and decided that singing, dancing penguins were going to stop commercial fishing, lalalalala, the end.
I think Surf's Up is going to be a better bet.
Which I would have done anyway after seeing WITH FRIENDS LIKE HARRY... The man gives good enthusiastic creepiness.
Don't forget
Jet Lag
where he plays the abusive boyfriend of Juliette Binoche.
And I too was extremely distubed by the violence of
Pan's Labyrinth,
mostly because I went into it without realizing that a good part of the movie is not fantasy, but is in fact very much in the real world.

This is why I told S she's not allowed to see it, as much I think she'd like the movie otherwise. She knows why I don't think she should see it, and she agrees.
he little girl (8?) sitting next to me tearfully asked her mother if the movie was over.
Oh man.
I have to admit that I've never made it through any of Happy Feet. I tried on the airplane, but the start was too boring. Someone gave Mallory the DVD because he laughed like a drain at the trailer, and he's watched it a couple times. I tried to watch it with him, but quickly got bored.
Basically, the musical pastiche was so unworkable, and the visuals so monotonous, that I wasn't even pulled in enough to be offended.

Hope this doesn't screw with shooting HBP much.
Awesome. Now I know what to get the little guy for Christmas.
I pimp Avatar to everyone who will stand still long enough to listen, and especially people who have or are buying for kids. I can't wait for the next season to start.

I was so terribly bored that being offended gave me something to do.
Avatar is wonderful. I don't know if 2-3 y.o. would get it, though.
Start with Pee Wee's Playhouse and work your way up.
David Strathairn
Funny, cause in "Good Night and Good Luck", I went from "Hey, it's That Guy!" to "Is it me, or is he sexy now?" Which was new to me, as I didn't socialize much in college.
But I'm glad I'm not alone in that.
Even if I still can't remember his name and might shout out "Oh, look, it's Murrow."
I hope he'd think it's a compliment.
Or better than That Guy, at least.

In certain quarters this used to mean: Fuck The World.
Or as I hear it in my head: Fuck the What?
Of course it means: For The Win
...but the associations are slippery.
