'Beneath You'
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.
When my niece was four, I took her to see The Secret of NIMH. Damn, she climbed into my lap and buried her face in my neck. The big sword fight scene was terrifying. But I was too young to think of the kid first and was completely rapt in the story so I stuck it out.
I feel like shit about it now, of course.

Pfft. Seeing stuff that's not age appropriate is actually an important part of growing up. Everybody does it. Everybody survives it.
I would actually think a kid was too sheltered if they never saw stuff outside their ability to grasp it, or was too intense or too whatever.
Well, my next door neighbors took me to see Friday the 13th when I was 10 and I spent the next few months sleeping with my twin sister. At least I didn't drag her to a slasher horror film.

We shared a bed a lot as kids (and a few times as teenagers). The only problem is she talks a lot.

In her sleep, or just in general?
She did turn out to be an attorney.

In general. She's well suited. I'm always shocked to think I'm the quiet one. Because I talk A LOT.
Ooooh! Up is playing at the dollar show! And on Tuesdays I'm pretty sure it's 50 cents! I think I know what Em and I are doing tomorrow!!
You know, while I usually dislike it, I can understand why Hollywood makes an "American" version of a foreign language film. However, can anyone--seriously--expound a rational reason for Neil LaBute remaking the 2007 British movie, Death at a Funeral ??????
I saw The Time Traveler's Wife last night. Pretty good, and sad enough that it wasn't overly sappy like I feared it might be.
I have no idea who the physics consultant was that told them Eric Bana's character would vanish out of his clothes and reappear naked when jumping through time, but I owe him or her a drink .
