When the action becomes too dull or redundant - turn up the bombastic music! The love-making resembles 11-yr-olds wrestling awkwardly over a loose football. The story, which had potential, dissolves into a badly-done (dare I say 'chick flick'?) romance. Just trying to save someone $9.50 The Incredibles, however, rocked.

OMG! LMAO!! The reader is THERE. Beautiful description. Made my day. - --Mark np: The Partridge Family CHRISTMAS CARD: I found this CD at the BP station last night getting some change for a delivery, and there it was, in a little display box right next to the young bored black girl with timberwolf eyes from colored contacts and Jennifer Aniston hair manning the register, my favorite Christmas album as a kiddie. I didn't even know it was on CD! I had the 8-track, until it broke in I think 1974. What's freaky is that, even though I hadn't heard this album in three decades, I knew the lyrics and sang along without hearing once the opening number (an original) "My Christmas Card to You," I knew the Cassidy vocal nuances, the drum breaks...I truly am a sick man. I don't care...lots of tape hiss and harpsichord diddling...this IS Christmas to me ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Dec 2004 17:00:54 -0500 From: John Swartzentruber Subject: Re: [loud-fans] House of Flying Daggers sucked On 12/19/2004 1:44 PM Robert Toren wrote: > The Incredibles, however, rocked. > > I liked it, but in case anyone else is thinking of taking their 5 year-old, I'll say that although it isn't entirely inappropriate, it is really an adult movie. My son observed that even though I was laughing, he didn't think it was very funny. ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V4 #338 *******************************
