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.

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.
I always have a moment of
Fuck the What?
... and yet I love it anyway.
Avatar is totally cool, but you should go with
My Neighbor Totoro
for that age. My niece is completely smitten with it, much to my delight. I got it for her for Christmas. Her birthday is coming up in Sept. (3 years old already!) and I've bought her a big ass stuffed Totoro. She is going to freak out.
Once you go through Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service is a great next step.
