And I wish I could freeze Michele Pfeiffer and Rutger Hauer at the age they were in this movie (I still have a major crush on Etienne Navarre), they are both so incredibly gorgeous, and Navarre's howl in the cathedral during the eclipse kills me still.

I think Michelle may have beat you to it. This is a photo of her in 2008: [link]

The creepy woodcutter in the forest! And his not-quite-all-there wife. Yeah, there's the romantic Middle Ages for you. Poor folk are *poor*.

I'm getting a Forbidden message, Matt. But unless she got all her wonderful baby-fat back and her face is soft and round again instead of long and tight, it ain't the same.

I love the creepy woodcutter's wife! The way she just hummed and walked with her toes pointing out like she was dancing.

And Francesco, he was alive and named for all of two seconds, and I still loved the guy for rising above the reign of terror to acknowledge an old friend.

We took Emeline to see Coraline today. It was a bit of a clusterfuck.

We warned Em that it might be a bit scary, to which she said, "Not to me!!" We get our snacks and sit down. The previews start. They show the previews for: Clutch 2, The Haunting in Connecticut, and a couple of other R rated movies. I raised an eyebrow, escpecially when Emeline crawled into my lap on the verge of crying during the trailer for Haunting in Connecticut, but didn't think anything of it.

We put our 3-D glasses on and the movie started.

Except the projectionist hit the wrong button. (S)he started MY BLOODY VALENTINE. I've never seen parents running out of a theater so quickly in all my life. It was really kind of funny.

But, they got it fixed, Coarline was watched and Em loved it. She wants to go as Coraline for Halloween. Which, I can totally get behind, but I need to find a way to make the Other Mother's gray polka dot dress with the fuschia bustle thingie.

But the movie was WONDERFUL. Just marvelous and beautiful. Now I need to read the book.

Ah hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

I've had nightmares like that

Heh, I've had that happen.

Took Emmett to see an innocuous animated movie with an audience filled with wee kids. Movie is late to start, waiting waiting, lights dim and it comes up....Right in the torture scene of Mission Impossible (2? with Philip Seymour Hoffmann).

Screaming, mayhem, crying toddlers, running for the doors...

Ha, Aims! But that means you missed the 3-D trailers! Aw. I saw Coraline today too.

No R-rated movies for the Coraline previews -- we got one for Monsters Vs. Aliens, which does look promising. And I heard no crying children during the movie itself, but then Bay Staters are tough, sensible folk who either raise brave children or leave the easily-scared ones home.
