Is that you get to watch some occasionally good films in amongst the dross like Alvin & the bloody Chipmunks [shudder]. I still have ‘Nam-like flashbacks over that abomination. Anyway, How to train your dragon: Top film, if you haven’t seen it, watch the trailer above then go see. Very good use of 3D as well, none of this poking things out of the screen rubbish, just an immersive landscape. Still have to wear cruddy glasses though.
Just don’t forget to steal your kids popcorn……
Good to see you posting. Yes, kids are convenient props for watching cartoons, but mine got too old and uncooperative. It finally dawned on my 22 year old (Middle Son) that Long Suffering Spouse and I actually like to watch cartoons… on our own time… without a kid in sight. He was shocked. Which is difficult for him to get seeing as how he’s watched Saw I through LXIV or whatever they’re up to.
Should we ever be blessed with grandchildren, we have a pretty good stock on hand of cartoons that WE like — and there’ll be none of that Alvin and the Chipmunks business in our house, thank you. (Although I do have their Christmas records… but those are short songs, not CGI abominations.)
I expect to see the dragon movie eventually. Without kids. And Toy Story 3 when it comes out, probably.
