I just googled, and I think I may have found the hidden source of my recurring 101 Dalmations nightmares that I had as a child...
Angelus ,'Damage'
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.
But I think a lot of children's fiction section at the library could have been called "horrible traumas inflicted on animals."
Where The Red Fern Grows. Old Yeller.
The Yearling
There's a book that I need to read someday, because the title is just perfect. It's called No More Dead Dogs. It's about a kid who, after reading a few of the afore-mentioned books, refuses to read any more. I'm sure it can't be as brilliant as it is in my head, but I less-than-three the concept.
What movie was it that the main character looks at the dog and says, "You know the ending of Old Yeller? I. Didn't. Cry."
Old Yeller was just so damn sad!
Debet, I looked up the Amazon description of No More Dead Dogs, and it sounds like there is a madcap theatrical production involved. I became increasingly less interested in the book as the description went on. It sounds weird - and not in a good way like we are accustomed to here! :-)
I'm betting that's Turner & Hooch.
Where The Red Fern Grows.
Ah, my first ever movie in the theater. Otherwise known to my parents as Why our Four-Year-Old Son Has Been Crying for Hours without Stopping To Take a Breath.
I have never seen Red Fern. I'm thinking I better avoid it...
I adore the short that came with it. Presto is possibly my favorite Pixar movie ever.
It's my second favorite, though I had to watch it and Boundin' over and over back to back to make sure.
The short about the little fix-it robot on WAL*E was awesome.
Em got Kung Fu Panda for Christmas. Such fun.
Ohohoh!! I FINALLY saw Chocolat this weekend. Um...so totally awesome and, as per usual, I want to sop Johnny Depp up with a biscuit.
There is nobody not good in Chocolat: Depp, Binoche, Molina, Dench, Moss, Olin, Stormare, John Wood and Leslie Caron, plus it's a lovely screenplay and magical locations.
