I guess Mr. Incredible was technically the protagonist of that movie, but casting Holly Hunter opposite Craig Nelson was not conducive to me sympathizing with anyone besides Elastigirl.
Oh, look at the pretties!

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.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
But for grown-ups who like monsters and aliens and 3D animation and Stephen Colbert, I highly recommend it!
This is me! Thanks for the rec; I thought it looked good from the trailers.
Me, too! I've seen the trailer probably 4 times, and it makes me laugh every time. Definitely want to see it.

I'd consider Elastigirl an equal to Mr. Incredible in the plot and characterization, and wouldn't be surprised if they have an equal number of lines and screen time, FWIW.
Otherwise, as you said.

Saw Watchmen this afternoon. I completely cracked up when "The Sound of Silence" started playing, because that identified the one missing thing that would have made the movie a halfway decent one. Did Snyder grab one of the teenage fans off the sidewalk at a Stephenie Meyer book signing and put her in charge of the score?
I will admit that the opening credits were worth the price of admission, though.

The only soundtrack cliche they missed was using "For What It's Worth" for the sixties.
It was by far the stupidest soundtrack I've ever encountered. So thoughtless.

Ok, I haven't even SEEN the movie and that cracked my shit up, Matt!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just saw Let the Right One In. I was very tired and sleepy, and the movie was slow, which was not a good combination. It was kinda fucked-up. But definitely not your typical vampire movie.

As, I believe, J. Hoberman said (paraphrasing), when John Woo really cuts loose, he risks being called John Woo Woo.
The last Nic Cage movies I had an interest in (and the last one I saw) was ADAPTATION. Which was the last time I saw old-school Nic Cage in a movie, pretty much.

Good, it's on Emmett's must-see list. Though it must be said that he came to his Apatow-bro-comedy preference honestly by first watching all of Freaks and Geeks, then Undeclared.
