Miscellaneous Movie Musings - Page 482

I'm going tomorrow (if the deal is still on with mp and GN2DL). I love Toy Story, and never much cared for Toy Story 2 - which I've seen 1.5 times. Everyone raves about it, so I thought I'd give it a second chance some day ... and this seems the perfect opportunity.

It's been such a long time since I've watched these movies, I'm really looking forward to it. I love "Jesse's Song" in TS2. For real tearjerkiness, listen to it with the French language track on your DVD at home.

I now have Sleeping Beauty snuggled up next to Snow White on my Blu-Ray shelf.

That's not kinky is it?

We're going to meet at 6:15ish tonight at the El Cap for the Toy Story Double Feature. We're going to go for the GA tix... the show starts at 7.

6:15ish??? I may be a little late.

Sayyy. I call shenanigans.
I could have sworn that I saw the Wind and the Willows short that comes with the Sleepy Hollow short on DVD. But I didn't. So I watched it for the first time today. I gotta say: huh?
There's no wild ride in it, at least none that we see. There's no running down people and going to hell and all that. Weird. I guess the attraction at DL was its own thing. And even outside the fact that the events in the ride and the movie differ, the story itself is kinda meh.

I believe that the ride is based on the AA Milne (sp?) play, Toad of Toad Hall which was, in turn, based on the book, The Wind in the Willows (well, the "Toad" part, at least). The ride has all of the characters in the play and includes the part of TWitW where Toad steals a car, crashed it, went to jail and had to fight the weasels to get Toad Hall back.

I don't remember there being any "hell" part in the play or the book though.

Bad news for Amelia:

16% all critics
12% top critics

The commericals are hyping this movie to be the first of the end of the year Oscar-worthy pics but the reviews have been hammering this one...

The Nightmare Before Xmas is showing at the Castro and I've never seen it. Should I go? I only know what little smidgen I do about the film from riding HMH with GC one night.

Oh, I wish I could go with you! I only have it on VHS and haven't watched it in for-evah, but I still remember going to the movies to see it when it first came out, on a date with a very cute boy I met at a Halloween party. He was a graphic artist and had been wanting to see it very badly. I loved it. I've never thought of anything about TNBC as dull.
