Also, Emmett's been binging on watching Dexter and Matilda had him explain it to her. So now she's curious about the "guy who kills people but only bad guys."
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.
I despised Austin Powers. I may go see Dark Shadows at the dollar movie, but that's a May.
The first Austin Powers was 20 minutes of good movie stretched out to 90.
I hated the idea of the character of Austin Powers, so there was no way to redeem the movie for me.
sigh ... I loved the original Dark Shadows when I was a teenager and it was new (black and white TV!). I did fall away towards the end when I couldn't figure out what was going on. I even watched when they tried to do a new version (in full color!). But this ... I was so hopeful when I first heard about it, but all the ads I'm seeing make it look like they're trying to hard to be funny.
Matilda is fascinated by the Dark Shadows billboards and commercials.
Every time the ad comes on, she asks us to come in and look at "that vampire boy."

See, that shows good taste on her part!
(I so need to go trick-or-treating with her and Tickybox dressed as little vampire minions. We would get SO MUCH candy.)
I am starving for shwarma, and may have to get some before work tonight. Or at least a gyro or something mediterranean. Maybe Ro Ro's, but it sounds like they're extra busy these days.
Hey Sean! Do you remember getting a Spider-Man foam hand for me at the premiere of (I think) Spider-Man 2? I still have it, and it is coming out when I go see The Amazing Spider-Man. You betcha.
I remember that thing! And I approve!
