You know how it is. There is a movie that comes out and everyone says you have to see it. It is great; I can’t believe you haven’t seen it yet. When are you going to see it? Time passes and then people say You’ve never seen that movie? And the shock and awe (hehe) overwhelms them and they leave you standing there as they wander off muttering to themselves about how they can’t believe that you’ve never seen that movie.
We watched Finding Nemo this weekend. If it weren’t for Ellen DeGeneres that movie would have totally blown chunks. She was brilliant. The rest of the movie was a tad contrived. Don’t get me wrong–I’m not one of those people who can’t lose themselves in a movie just because it is animated. I loved both Toy Story movies and I think the first Stuart Little was excellent. Nemo just wasn’t all that.
Oh yeah, I’ve never seen Forrest Gump or Titanic. Let the mumbling begin.
