For a while, I thought it was just me. I couldn't understand why everyone loved it so much. Also, I hated the English Patient and The Accidental Tourist and both of those won Oscars, so I thought my movie-mojo was whack. But no, Happy Feet is just horrible.
Dawn and I appear to share a brain...or at least taste.
I hated Happy Feet with the power of a thousand suns. (Even though the 'penguin encounter' scenes were exactly my experience as a penguin wrangler at Seaworld...uber-depressing.)
And I just never got the EP and AT love.
On the other hand, the bestie and I watched Stargate tonight. It's been a while and I have recently been slurping up the first 3 seasons of SG-1 via Hulu...I'd forgotten how Spader-litelike the TV Daniel is...and the various movie actors who appeared on the show.
I'd also forgotten the D'jimon Honsou (sp) was in the movie.
I like Happy Feet. The plot is a gigantic mess, the message is thoroughly disturbing, but I will forgive all that for penguins. And the Crocodile Hunter as a gigantic elephant seal.
If you like penguins, see
Surf's Up.
I didn't enjoy
English Patient
and I'm a huge fan of Ralph Fiennes.
I did like
The Accidental Tourist.
My dad is the same way about phones.
I liked it when I saw it...not sure I would now.(My tastes have changed lots.)
Surf's Up is awesome! Plus, they get a little dig in at Happy Feet. Plus, GREEN DAY on the soundtrack.
It's an awesome sendup of surf movies, too.
Oh, I definitely have a hate on for "English Patient." It took me about 3 tries to get through the movie in the first place. The director telegraphed every single event in the movie. I knew from the opening shot that Scott Thomas' character was dead or nearly so.
The DH took Ben to Happy Feet and came back baffled and irritated. I never saw it after that.
I've yet to see The English Patient, and The Accidental Tourist was so long ago, I barely remember it. I did like the book, though.
I kind of liked English Patient, much to my great surprise.
Didn't love it, just liked it. Sort of.
