Has anyone with kids seen Wreck-it Ralph yet? I'm wondering if it's 5 year-old appropriate. (said 5 year-old enjoys Teen Titans and season 1 of Avengers: EMH, but still finds some of the episodes scary.)
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My five year old was scared in parts and had to leave the theater at one point, but his friend who went with them to the screening stayed in his seat the whole time. (And even though Dylan claims he "hated" the movie and never wants to see it again*, he's also been quoting and acting out parts of it nonstop for a week.)
So a tentative yes, but it depends on the kid.
*This is his standard reaction to any movie with even one scary scene in it and should not be taken to mean much of anything.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I saw Flight last night and was NOT impressed. Yeah, Denzel is great in it and the plane crach sequence is amazing, but it mostly feels like a really expensive movie of the week. I learned THIS from the movie: drinking is bad.

Okay. Thanks, Jessica. I know my son was okay with Toy Story 3, which I understand has some emotional parts. (I still haven't found time to watch it myself yet, and I've remained miraculously unspoiled) I'm not sure how that compares. I know it scared him at the time, but he still likes the movie.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The emotional parts of Toy Story 3 are worse than the emotional parts of Wreck-It Ralph, but there is at least one scene that could, well, wreck him. And there are giant sci-fi bug things that he might find scary.

move out and draw fire
I'm happy to see you guys liked Wreck-It Ralph. I really wanted to go over the weekend, but I am now going to take Mal this Saturday as a reward for his report card. I assume I'll get more of the video jokes than he will, but really he's just my excuse to go anyway.

After discussing it with the better half, we're going to hold off on my son seeing it until one of us can pre-screen. Thanks for the information.

I think I'm going to go see it tonight; I'd rather not be on the edge of my seat with election news all evening.
