Ugh. They changed stuff....
And this is bad because this material is so genius that changing it would be sacrilege?
Wash: Mal, your dead army buddy's on the bridge! Zoe: He ain't dead. Wash: Oh.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
No. They just changed stuff they shouldn't have. Like there's no kids - it's three adults now.
Wrong.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Okay, I can see that objection.

But did they get Bill Lambeer to play a Sleestak again? That's the critical question. Especially because he continued that role on the Pistons.

(high-fives Hec for Wall-E Rand Lite comments)
I keep wanting to mash up Wall-E and Idiocracy. But since Mal's moved on to The Incredibles, I'm getting Brad Bird's Randiness in undiluted strength.

I infinitely prefer Bird's "be true to yourself" Rand-isms to the Disney heroines who want "more out of life", more ending up being a guy.
Maybe it's time to get Matlida hooked on Emporer's New Groove. It's never too early to introduce kids to the wonder that is Eartha Kitt, even in scary animated form.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

"When everybody's Super, no one will be."
See, the whole plot is driven by a guy who can't accept the fact that he's not Super. The lesson is, if you're not Super, know your place.
Sorry. I still love The Incredibles.

I love watching it but I hate the message. And I think Brad Bird's opinion of himself must not include the memories of being beaten up for his lunch money by big strong kids who could.
This conversation is getting old though: "And Syndrome has superpowers!"
"No he does not."
"Yes he does!"
"No, that's the whole point of the movie."
"He DOES!!!! He wears black and white and has a cape AND HAS SUPER POWERS!!!!!"
"Just because someone wears a costume they don't have super-powers. He's just really really smart."
"HEEEEE DDOOOOEEESSSSS TTTTOOOOOO!!!!!"
My son, the nascent engineer.
