Nightmare On Elm Street was a big steamin' pile of crap.

The movie's less than 2 hours long, and it FELT like over 3 hours.

Freddy looks like Sackboy from Little Big Planet, and just wasn't very scary.

Add this to my list of reasons to kick Michael Bay squarely in the nuts when I meet him (I might have to put on the ole steel toes)...

Hilarious and spot on commentary on youtube.

Steve Hayes is the Tired Old Queen at the Movies and he is fabulous!

Here's his take on Auntie Mame

Lifeboat is hilarious, great impressions of Hitch and Tallulah.

I love this guy!

Ah, Auntie Mame. My most beloved and favorite movie ever! Now I'm all melty just thinking about it.

So for 90% of the movie, Disney's first black princess was neither black nor a princess.

Princess & the Frog was alright. The animation was lovely, the characters were eminently watchable and likable. And nothing was offensively dumb. But the whole package was just kinda blah. The plot was kinda half assed, they never explained the motivations well. Shadow Man's plan was very underpants gnome-ish. "Step 1, turn this guy into a frog and this guy into a fake prince. Step 2 ???. Step 3 Profit". Meanwhile, why exactly did she fall in love with the prince? He was sort of charistmatic and was gonna front her the restaurant money. Other than that, she never seemed all that impressed with him.

Music entirely unmemorable.

I did enjoy it. Not as much as Lilo & Stitch or Emperor's New Groove, but more than Hunchback or Pocahontas or Tarzan. I'd have to rewatch Hercules, which I do recall enjoying but don't remember very well to compare.

The book it's based on is called "The Frog Prince" which makes a whole lot more sense. The title made no sense to me either after watching the movie. I did like it.

Hercules is still one of my favorites. And Mulan.

Wow, HATE Hercules. Will never re-watch it. Princess and the Frog was utterly forgettable, and have already forgotten it exists so I can't rewatch it.

Love Tarzan. One of the best ever. Pocahontas is great, with a few noticeable flaws. Hunchback is deeply flawed with a few elements of greatness. And I keep meaning to rewatch Emperor's New Groove because I just didn't get it, but am fairly convinced I missed something special.

I'd put Princess and the Frog down around Tarzan in terms of utter forgetfulness (and both have the trait of all the music in the movie sounding the same). Have never seen Hunchback, Hercules, or Pocahontas.

We watched Grey Gardens with Jessica Tandy and Drew Barrymore last night. I have the urge to talk like Little Edie... "So I think this is the best report for today."
