I told her she was a wuss, and to go back to bed. She probably wouldn't even know what a VHS tape is to begin with. But hey, she's the one that insists she can handle watching horror movies... until she has to turn the lights off, anyways.

Depends, did Supe post a pic of them in an ambiguous outfit with a bad haircut?
Went and saw Beauty & the Beast on Saturday, really liked it. Son was mad because he wanted to watch Lego Batman, so we saw that on Sunday. It was cheesy as hell but plenty of good one-liners for the adults.
Moana was really good. Definitely a top Disney movie. Living in NZ with a large Pacific Islander population (Mauri), we have been exposed to a bit more of the cultural background which added to the experience. It didn't feel like it was trying to recreate a stereotype like Milo & Stitch did with Hawaiians.

Saw Guardians of the Galaxy V2 last night with the family.
Good movie, but mostly just "more of the same" stuff that made the first one good. This one seems like it's a completely stand-alone movie and doesn't seem to progress the whole MCU/Avengers storyline very much. Baby Groot was funny.

Looks interesting, but not sure that reading the books was a requirement for any of the cast members.

When I was a kid I started reading the "Dark Tower" series but I got through the books faster than they were coming out so I only read the first 2 or 3 and then quit. From what I understand, the movie is supposed to be almost like a compilation of the whole series. I'm sure there'll be stuff in there that reading the series would have been helpful, but I'm guessing it's mostly going to be people bitching about how it isn't like the books.

I was a little disappointed to see Mathew mchonahey (sp) in there. I guess that's how they get the ladies to go to the movie.
I read the books a long time ago and do not remember much about them, except that I liked them. But I am looking forward to the movie

I saw Guardians of the Galaxy V2 and give it a hearty thumbs up.
The family rented "The Red Turtle" on Amazon the other night. It's an animated film produced by Japan's Studio Ghibli, which is known for very high quality films by the masters of Japanese animation (such as Ponyo, Princess Mononoke, etc. all of which I would recommend to any viewer). This is the first of their films that has been written and directed by a non-Japanese, in this case, i think the director is from Belgium. It's pretty good, but probably not for anyone who can't sit still for very long. It develops pretty slowly, but the artwork is good and the story, as simple as it is, is engaging. The movie follows a guy who is shipwrecked, alone (initially) on a tropical island. There isn't a single work spoken in the film. Ultimately the movie turns out to be sort of (or very much) a symbolic look at life, man's relationship with nature, or whatever you want it to mean, I suppose. There are a few tense moments, but mostly it unfolds pretty serenely. I'd recommend it for folks who can appreciate film as art, but not for the explosions, boobs, and helicopters crowd.

I need a beer.
I'd like to see it. Speaking of bad 80s comedies, I made my daughter watch "Stripes" with me on bluray the other day, since she is headed off to Army ROTC summer camp soon. Way more nudity than I remembered... awkward viewing. But apparently the bluray became some sort of extended cut at some point in time, because there were a couple of long scenes in there that i don't remember, like a scene where Bill Murray and Harold Ramis attempt to escape the Army, and end up parachuting with a bunch of commandos (wearing patches that say "Kill or Die") into central America, and then hanging out with a bunch of drug running revolutionaries before escaping and making back into their barracks before dawn. It was a shitty scene, and I see why it wasn't in the original. At any rate, it was still funny as hell to me, but my daughter didn't appreciate it at all.
