Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Oh yeah, I knew you wrote "remakes" and I meant "remakes" when the spirit of Lisa made me type "sequels." (actually I'm just unbelievablypostDisneylandbirthdayTired).

I'm gonna start an M. Night thread after Lady in the Water comes out. It won't be about one movie, but neither will it be about all movies. It will be a compromise thread.

Yeah, imagine my 'Eight Below' thread. It would have had one post in it by me, three lines at most... Most likely no replies. Then it would disappear. Like the movie did.

Not sure if you meant disappear as in the movie bombed. But it didn't. Eight Below was the best performer this year for Disney before the summer big guns. Everybody was surprised how well it did.

It was definitely in the direction of a kids' movie but when the people were off the screen I was amazed how well they did with the dog stuff.

I liked 'Eight Below'. I don't see many movies though, so my judgement is probably suspect. Great scenery. I startle easily so I jumped about 5 feet out of my seat at one point in the movie.

The leopard seal moment, DPR?

I liked the movie- Tori was a little pissed at me for not letting her know it was a sad movie in parts (like I knew?) but she liked it as well. Who couldn't love Snow Doggies?

Yeah that's the one. When I was a kid, the haunted mansion ghosts that popup used to scare the heck out of me. Probably not one of my best pirate qualities.

My oldest is starting to chafe at the movie restrictions we put on him (not too violent, not too much sex, not too scary, etc...)

But he's officially a teen now so I suppose it's about time I loosened up a bit. So I rented him "Alien" to watch tomorrow. When he's home alone. In the dark creepy basement.....
