Because books.

The incinerator scene was terrifying, even for me. Sara didn't seem too scared, but she generally trusts that everything is going to work out okay, so. It's still one I can see kids calling out years from now, the way we were calling out movie traumas a week ago or whenever.

I didn't cry until the very end, which surprised me. Of course, it was right when I was thinking, "Hah, I beat them! Pixar didn't get to me!" And then the waterworks started, as soon as Andy started introducing the toys to Bonnie . I was a goner after that.

Our wings are not tired.

Quick-edits on the iPhone are HUGELY annoying because of the auto-corrects. It takes almost as long to convince it to type a lowercase i as it does to just navigate to the wakas.

Exactly. I know how to do it, the iPhone makes it not worth it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

On my phone, I just type ii (which comes out Ii) and then delete the first one. But it's way less annoying than fishing out the HTML. I just wish I had copy and paste, or spoiler highlighting, dammit.

Hunh. the gypsy is also FAQWife's former boss's aunt. Is your friend's name Liza by any chance, Strega?

Oh, wacky! No, it's Tom, but I'm guessing Liza is his sister. I'll ask and see if I can weird him out.

Ahh, thanks for the explanation.

No, it's Tom

Does he work for the Smithsonian?

Strega - Jul 06, 2010 4:42:31 pm PDT #9608 of 30000

Yes -- and I just called to ask, and his sister's name is indeed Liza. Small internet!

Indeed! We went to see the film with Liza when it opened and thought it was great fun!

This was my nephews. Well, Dominic. Tyler was mining the bottom of the popcorn bucket. I have an insane attachment to childhood toys (I have my dad's beloved teddy bear from when he was 1! and am still not over losing PinkHippo on the plane back from Prague when I was 20) and so the whole damned movie was a cryfest. At one point, I looked over at my SIL and she mouthed "I'm sorry, do you have more napkins?" through her tears.
