I'll still buy it when it comes out later this month (this week?). It's not Pixar's best, imo, but hardly their worst. I don't own either Cars or Bug's Life, though I think the former is completely enjoyable and I promised to give the latter another try.

On another note, now that's it's out ... I'm lukewarm about seeing 2012.

It came out last Tuesday.

oh, well, when I go buy Star Trek next week, I'll pick up ... heheh ... UP.

Fantastic Mr. Fox is a MUST. But I've been warned that, if I'm going to bother seeing 2012, I should see it on the Biggest Screen Available. Ugh, it's 2 hours and 40 minutes long. I do not have that much spare time this weekend. Sigh.

Help me understand why Fantastic Mr. Fox is so appealing. I've heard nothing but baited breath for that film, but nothing I've seen makes me want to watch it. I'm missing something here, what is it?

Fantastic Mr. Fox is top of my list. But apparently it isn't opening here this weekend.

SM: Do you like Wes Anderson generally?

I had to look him up. Of his films listed on IMDb, I've only seen Rushmore. I thought it was weird, I didn't really "get it", but found it intriguing.

I'd say that most people who are eager for it, sight unseen, it is simply because it is a Wes Anderson movie. That's pretty much what's driving it for me, though I have liked the trailers I've seen.

Well, this may be one of those get it or don't situations. If you want to give Wes another try, check out Life Aquatic, my fav, and I believe the most accessible of his.

LOVE him.

The fact that it's Roald Dahl adds to that also.
