Movie I hate for the moment: Dreamcatcher, Steven King should have quit while he was ahead
Movie I'm looking Forward to: I guess Pirates of the Carribean 2, as I was forced to watch it's predecessor at least 3 times in a row recently
Favorite Movie Character: Gromit
Favorite color:[jump5]
Favorite type of misc. food: Pineapple, (which is a misnomer because they taste neither like pine or apples) and the noble Tangelo, bastard son of the orange and tangerine.
Favorite obligatory villain: Bowser
Favorite advertisement Icon: The Muppets, (since they sold out to Pizza Hut and everything...)
Favorite book I just read: To Kill a Mockingbird (It's better than the movie folks!)
Favorite one word quote: Fudgecicles!
Pet Peeves: Yellow vegetables, people who read comics outloud, people who name their pets something with Mr. or Mrs. in front of it and people who answer rhetorical questions. In fact, let's put people in general on there. We can be an irritating species.
Pets: A three-legged cat names Lily, and another cat named Nicky and a nameless toad (PM me if you have a name for my toad)
UPDATE: I can not find Lily. I fear the worst as there are a large amount of crows around my house lately. And my Toad is now named Audrey 2.
UPDATE: A dog showed up on our porch, and my dad expressed his originality by naming it Rex. It's smelly, slobbery and eats it's own poo.
UPDATE: Turns out Rex got his business on, so now we have a few Rex Juniors on our hands. They kinda look like tiny polar bears. We're currently selling them by the pound if you want 'em. UPDATE: No, I didn't mean as a food product you sickos! They're puppies for the sake of goodness! PUPPIES!
Gender: Female
Sign: Gemini
Hobbie: Misspelling words like "hobby", doodling on napkins, textbooks and barfbags from airplanes, drama, writing short stories of no interest to anyone, and the occasional breathing, sleeping, and eating that most all can enjoy.
Current Mood: [white]
Reason for Mood: I need a tan.
Song stuck in my head: My bologna has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R... [angry5]

We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story (1993)
This Brought me back
When I was a kid, I loved dinosaurs. Jurrasic Park, The Land Before Time, (the original, not the crappy umpteen sequels), and We're Back especially were my favorite movies.
Now when I look at it again, I see that the movie's plot made no sense, the characters were stereotypical, and that it was sappy at the end.
But as a kid, I didn't care. What could be cooler than a singing tyrannosaurus(with the exception of Barney)? I didn't care if the plot made no sense to an adult because it made perfect sense to me. I never wondered why Rex didn't know what lunch was but instantly knew the tune of "Row your boat". I didn't see the average example of "unhappy" children and a villain that was one sided and overly symbolic. I saw some cool kids and a crazy scary guy with a screw for an eyeball that somehow had magical powers.
Because that's what this movie was and is: a children's movie. And somehow in all the critic reviews and hype and over analyzation of movies in general, I forgot what it was like to watch a movie as a kid and to just enjoy it regardless of plot and characters.
I get the same feeling from watching old Saturday morning cartoons. They were stupid, and the plots were ridiculous, but I loved them. Bring on the genetic mutants who know kung-fu and fight crime! Throw in a few aliens and you've got a good thing to eat sugary cereal to! Anyway, I guess the real reason I wrote this review was to perhaps remind people to simplify their lives from time to time, and quit over-analyzing. You enjoy more that way.
Eight Crazy Nights (2002)
Gross, but with Singing
I was initially skeptical about this movie but eventually, like everything else I'm skeptical about, I rented it.
It's got some things in it that I can't imagine some guy would spend hours animating without getting a little sick, most of it having to do with feces, but what's a good Adam Sandler movie without some disgusting humor?
I like the animation, and it gives Sandler the chance to do stuff he couldn't do in real life without huge special effects costs and maybe a few stunt doubles, but it' still Adam inside the ink and paint and that's what makes it funny.
The songs are hilarious, the characters are amusing and the plot is another synonym for funny.
It's one of the funniest Sandler movies I've seen as of yet, please people, just rent it. It doesn't even have to be during the holidays, just get out the decorations and turn up the A/C if it's July.
Skeptics everywhere: rent it.
