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 should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

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.

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."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
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...

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
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.

I didn't even RECOGNIZE Moss.
I want to go live there.

No high-speed internet.
And no Depp.

'S okay. One day, I want to live in a tiny little French village. Maybe not forever, but for some time, before that clever north wind comes and sweeps me out.
