Now I've taken to calling my parent's dog "Harry Plopper". I can't stop myself, it just makes me giggle.

LOLOLOLOL!! I'm picturing that scene in the movie! That little pig sitting there, with the Harry Potter glasses and scar. I can't stop singing "Spider Pig"! I must have sang it outloud all the way back to our car last night. My boyfriend is tired of me singing the first 1/2 and then saying "take it!". He really doesn't dig on dueting with me.

TeeHee, I've been singing "Spider Pig" constantly.

Good points above, Ally. I think there's a fine line between exchanging our opinions and reasons for having them -and- justifying our opinions and defending them with defensiveness.

I think the exchange of our thought process behind opinions is interesting and lets us get to know each other better.

The defensiveness is, alas, a human reaction ... and perhaps I'm guilty as any in seeming somehow to challenge the reasonableness of opinions which differ from my own. I hope we (me included) can keep that kind of thing to a minimum ... but it's only human for it to creep up on us once in a while.

I hope I haven't come across as defensive. I'm not meaning to be. I don't consider anyone wrong for enjoying the movie. I myself enjoyed it to a point. I've just found it interesting to express why I feel it falls short of being worth my time to ever see again. The discussion has actually helped to solidify exactly what it was that I instinctively felt was missing, but wasn't really able to express upon leaving the theater.

2nd time as good as the 1st time.

We just saw this. Maddy's comment on exiting was "we should have gone to see hairspray". I didn't hate it but I'm meh about it.
