Has anyone seen the movie Ice Age? It's pretty good. But there this one part in itthat stands out. There a bunch of Do does who are trying to prepare for the ice age. The problem is they only have 3 watermelons. But they think that is more than enough. The creators kinda mixup the stereotypical survivalist with a cult. Funny thing is, I have heard of people like this. <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

how very true. I really lOVED that movie. Shrek, the lion king, Monsters Inc. and a few other animated movies really stand out as funny. <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Was the lion king supposed to be funny? I liked shrek at first until I had to study it for english! It was for the media part.

Naa, Lion king wasn't that funny (except for timon and pumba!). It's one of those movies that stuck in my mind.

I've read many interesting/funny books that have been destroyed by the analytical skills of an English/Afrikaans/History teacher! Very unfortunate...

It's our problem freeeee

philosophy

Hakuna Matta...............

Tell me about it. I had to stop watching Godzilla for awhile because I feared I would anylize it too much. But I have learned to shut it off. The trick is to get in a very shallow mood and not think. Just sit back and ride in the adventure. Don't look for foreshadowing or symbolism or any of that. This is of coarse assuming that you have the option of reading it for fun, or if you just need to know what basically happened and you'll go over it tommorow mourning in much greater detail.

Shrek I secretly admire, nooo not the character, the movie.Everyone around here has watched it and liked it so that automaticly means I won't. But I did. It didn't stick out in my mind too much though. Except for the part when the first enter the castle town and there is that box with all the wooden kids things and they almost swear on a kids movie, but say feet instead of what your sitting on.

Isn'ty that weird? Most people can sit through a R movie listening to up to 5+ swear words per sentience, but can be completley shocked if any cartoon character says one. Remember all the dust Tarzan kicked up because you could see the shadow of the guy hanging? I burst out laughing when I finally saw it after watching the specific part 20 times. Good thing I was home. <img src="images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I've jsy become too synical with everything
"Ha, that couldn't happen", and so on. That dancing wooden characters thing certainly gets boring when you watch it hundreds of time and write countless essays about it and get your eight year old cousin singing it continuously <img src="images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />.

Yeah, I guess so. But hay, thats because it's a Disney movie. I have heard that doing a report on older movies like Casablanca is alot better.
