Yes, middle ballet is too long. It's always too long in just about every film that had the misfortune to include a ballet interlude. Dumb relic of its time.

Oh goody! Musicals! I just adore a good musical!

Love WSS, Brigadoon, Oklahomo, Sound of Music, Thoroughly Modern Millie (Raspberries!), Seven Brides for Seven Hunks... er...Brothers, Music Man, King and I...

I also find Carousel boring.

Oooo... How could I forget Singing in the Rain, American in Paris, and Kiss Me Kate!

Just watched King of Kong, the documentary about the hard-core classic gaming community and a scandal in their midst.

I'd say this is mandatory viewing for anybody who has spent much time in small ultra-niche groups who can find themselves taking things way more seriously than necessary.

Also, while watching things like this (and Hands on the Hard Body and others of the ilk) I can't help but try to imagine something similar being made about MouseAdventure and how everybody would come across.

PUERTO RICO. My HEARTS devotion. Let it Sink BACK in the OCEAN.
Always a hurricane blowing.
Always the pop-u-la-tion growing
And the sunlight streaming
and the natives screaming.......

I like the island Manhattan (I know you do)

Damnit, will you stop posting reviews that don't pertain to anyone on this board.

It is, of course, imperative that you know your seven brothers:

from left to right: Frank, Caleb, Gideon, Ephraim, Daniel, Benjamin and then there's Adam (not pictured)

Frank - the funniest one, cute, awesomely hysterical expressions
Caleb - rugged, kept his Van Dyke beard, very good dancer
Gideon - the baby face of the bunch, acrobatic and a hottie
Ephraim - best butt of the bunch, speaking voice was dubbed, but he was the best dancer, imho
Daniel - cutie, too. kept his porn mustache
Benjamin - the hottest of the bunch, has that Lil Abner look to him. Watch the film, he and Adam are the only two who dance very little. In dance scenes, Ben is in the back and hidden. Even though, he's hot hot hot. Julie Newmar was no fool to pick him.
Adam - the big blowhard of the family, knows what he likes and gets it, he can marry me 5 minutes after meeting me too. But he would have to keep his beard or at least a Van Dyke beard...

Yes, I would love to be trapped in his motion picture. 7 brothers... odds are one was a fruit. My money is on Gideon.

We watched National Treasure 2 tonight, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The boy liked it a lot, especially the car chases. I think I need to rent a good movie with car chases for him. Any good recommendations?
