I thought they might be really bad, but I couldn't remember.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

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.

Hey. New board.
4-year-olds tend to love them, to be fair, much like they tend to love the direct-to-video Disney sequels, but the answer is still an unqualified No. And I don't think 4-year-olds would love them who hadn't seen the original, though I could be wrong about that.
Honestly, at 4, I'd stick with DVDs of TV shows aimed at children, once the Disney and Pixar is tapped out. Though I was a huge Return of the Jedi fan at that age, so whatever works.

The Dark Crystal.
Most def. Not scary at all.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Uh, Juliebird? Is that your tongue in your cheek or are you just happy to Skeksis?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Skeksis, nothing. The gelflings are frickin' creepy-looking as all get out.

I don't remember being skeeved as a kid by the Gelflings. By the Skeksis? Hell yes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh shit, Andrew Sarris died.
The Village Voice was my formative out-of-school education and Sarris was The Man in film criticism (though I also took a lot from J. Hoberman, and Georgia Brown (aka, The Mom in the Squid and the Whale).
His throwdown with Pauline Kael was legendary.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh, hey. We saw Snow White and Thor last weekend, and I could not get over the strong Heath Ledger vibe I got from Chris Hemsworth. Mostly the hair, I guess, being darker than Thor hair, and his accent being closer to his real accent (I think).
Did anyone else get a Heath Ledger vibe from him? Tim disagreed, but he hasn't seen Ten Things I Hate About You. I think that's where it's coming from.
