You've seen Batteries Not Included!!!! That makes me happy. I don't know too many people who know that movie (or perhaps I do and I just don't realize it).

I've seen it. That, Innerspace and Harry and the Hendersons... all around the same time...
:)

I remember projecting all of those movies back when I worked at a three screen theater in Los Alamos, New Mexico. *batteries not included (that was it's official spelling, as I recall) found me at the wrong time - I was impatient and cynical about the friendly aliens and/or robots subgenre. I enjoy such movies more these days, if I run into them, albeit, in a sort of Velveeta way.

Awww... batteries not included!!!!! That was cute! Like when the little guy is helping out in the diner and trying to make burgers!

I know Batteries Not Included! I've got Harry and the Hendersons on DVD. Love it!

Oh - I saw Sweeny Todd this weekend. I didn't hate it, and I didn't love it. Mr. Depp seemed to be singing in a rock opera, which annoyed me. Antony had a good voice. And, of course, there was Alan Rickman, which made me happy.

For the most part the filming/staging was okay with me. I though the opening CGI stuff was needlessly and obtrusively modern, and I was really quite annoyed by the CGI motion shot thingy at the beginning between the ship dock and Fleet Street. I didn't care for the contrast of overtly modern production elements and historically inspired set. And I thought the final tableau just looked silly. But, I did like the black/white/red coloring.

I was thinking, as I was watching this movie (specifically the part where they're searching for the kid in the sewers), that what bugs me most about the planned Burton re-do of Alice in Wonderland is that I'd really rather he tackle Through the Looking Glass - as its own work, not as a mashup with Wonderland, as everyone seems to do. Looking Glass is darker as is, and I started mentally casting the Red and White Queens. (I briefly contemplated French and Saunders...)

Regarding WallE - if you want to see an interesting site - checkout http://www.buynlarge.com/ - it's a website for the company that built the robots.

raises hand, I saw it, too.

*batteries not included made me cry. I saw that movie a hundred times as a kid.

Watched Ratatouille with the roomie last night. I loved it, again and she loved it. Also watched Lifted which I missed forst time around, hysterical.

Ratatouille makes me SO hungry when I watch it. Gotta love that!
