The Sky Is Falling!

The Sky Is Falling!

Last weekend I found the time in my busy life to see a delightful animated movie called Chicken Little. It was funny, mondo hysterical at times, the animation was killer and best of all it was well thought out. Most of my complaints with films of this type is that the technology used in them was so time consuming that usually the film is a stunted, compartmentalized erratic no consistancy crap-fest. Not so with Chicken Little! First, everyone can sympathize with CL, the main character and there was no scene in the entire movie that was out of place or didn’t belong there. The characters were great, the movie concept was flawless and there were no slow spots. Go see it; its ten times better than most of the over-hyped computer animated drivel of the past.

And now for a short list of Pros and Cons from my day at the movies: Pros: Great movie, GO FISH!; nice to take a break from fast paced life; prices still reasonable for daytime movies. Found a new killer good candy: Chewy Sweet Tarts minis. Holy $%#@! thats great candy! Pure sugar sweet and sour joy staright from the heavens! A suga rush that’s 50x’s better than crack for kids! Cons: $10.50 for a slice of pizza, soda and 6 hot wings?! Are you $%#@!ing kidding me sbarros?! You’ve got the #1 spot ABOVE movie prices for being a ripoff! And the pizza was barely warm too!; all movie theatres should show actual movie start times. Let me getthis straight - there are tons of previews, commercials and on top of that more announcements PLUS ever-increasing concession prices and movie prices aren’t like $4? That just doesn’t make any sense. All of that ad and concession profits and prices rise higher than gasoline?! Bull!; little kids - what kind of parent brings their small children (or children for that matter) to cartoons?! Gimme a break… if I hear one more runt cry or talk I’m calling Adult Protective Services (they deal with keeping kids away from adults)! Grrrr… next!

Sounds like you had a good time at the movies. As for the children, they can only be as good as the parent that disiplines the children. Now as for movies, now you got my curiosity piqued over Chicken Little. :)

Yeah, but did you see it in 3D?

Go see Chicken Little. It's the only way people that did not go to see Serenity can make it up to the Universe.

Sadly (?) I didn't go see Chicken Little in 3D; mostly due to most 3D experiences were so bad the movie enjoyment suffered. Let me know how it is if you saw it and I'll gladly go again!

Anyone for Harry Potter this weekend?

Vinnie,
My niece saw Harry Potter 4 the day it opened. So you are a little late, but she said it was a very good movie. Me, I think I will wait until the movie comes out on dvd, saves on crowds.

Shannon: cool, it was very good, totally enjoyed it. That's 2 good movies I've seen in a row; Chicken Little and Harry Potter 4. Boo-ya!
