The virtues of the Movie Club really depend on what you are looking for. If all you are looking for is the newer material, you would be better off going online (www.dvdpricesearch.com is a favorite pricing website, though it has its limits, like anything else). I love the opportunity to...

This raises the eternal argument about the importance of the writer to the creative process in the comic book world. Mr. Kirby created the wonderful look of the characters, but that look would have been meaningless if the stories surrounding them had not intrigued the readers. DC and Marvel...

My wife and I loved CARS 2; we saw a lot fof James Bond spoofing, laughed ourselves silly, and had a great time. We liked Brave, and will be getting the Blu-ray, though I'd be lying to say that we were as enthusiastic as with, say, Wall-E, Ratattouille, or Up! (though comparing anything to Up...

No, not really. You don't just go down to the local True Value Hardware and pick up one of these things. Original components have to be designed and constructed, time and labor have to go into testing, safety issues have to be considered, etc etc ... Not exactly something you do in your...

You raise a good point. I stand by my assersions, but my post was intemperate.

Thank you both for being voices of common sense in a sea of silliness. I love my Disney, but also love my Potter. And my Star Wars, though I am not partial to "Episode# 1 - 3". I also love my Star Trek and my LOTR. And, for that matter, my Universal Monsters monster movies, even the ones...

Thank you for the reminder of the Neal illustrated book. While, for pure reading, I prefer teh Unofficial Guide, the Neal guide is also a terrific read and the pics are superior to the ones offered in the Unofficial Guide's Color Companion.

Hard, but not impossible. It happens all the time (I quote examples in my last reply). I agree with Lucky; let us give POOH a chance before just automatically consign it to flop status. It was clearly not created to be a BLOCKBUSTER in the sense of something like a Harry Potter or the latest...

Is the Del Toro version to be a movie version of the stage version of the animated version? (Say that three times fast ...) Or is it to be a retelling of the original fairy tale? (I'm at work; can't get access to the link; our system is weird that way.) There was a post, a while back...

My 46 years crammed into a Speedo would be less of a comedy and more of a horror. ("Welcome, Foolish Mortals ... ")

When my DW and I were waiting in the crowd for the theater to open for the morning showing of POTTER, we spoke to a gentleman who had already taken his youngster (don't recall whether it was daughter or granddaughter) to see POOH, and he pretty much raved about it. We have every intention of...

The haters will refer to Cars 2 as a flop, regardless of how much money the movie brings in domestically, overseas, and in merchandising. Despite the fact that opinions about the movie itself, on this board, seem to be running 50/50.

My personal favorite ... the one known around our Disney House as The Book (cue choral harmony) ... is the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World, by Sehlinger and Testa. This year I also bought the Color Companion, but I would not necessarily recommend it; the info is identical (and not as...

Actually, obvious would be a matter of point of view; to the theatrically-oriented, the obvious would be a question about Chaucer and Rabelais. (Unless that's what you meant, but my readings through this forum would not lead me to expect that particular reference, at least not immediately.)

No need to duck; I concur.

I shall reiterate what everyone else has told you: Do not cancel the Disney trip, because, given what you have been through, it will do you every bit of good. I would also add that sticking around your current locale will only serve you with any number of reminders that will make it that much...

Please remember to deign to mention the required phrase for a truly adult interweb debate, that being "Nanny nanny boo boo; stick your head in poo poo."

I've never met a Pixar I didn't like (yes, that includes Cars and Cars 2). I like them all for different reasons, and, while it would be ridiculous to compare the deep emotion I associate with Up (my absolute fav from Pixar) or Wall-E to the fun I have watching the Carses, there is no reason I...

I mentioned this one in another thread, but don't remember which one, but I would love to be able to purchase a Mickey Mouse T-shirt done in batik. Or tie-dye, but I'd really love the batik. Of course, if something like that is already available in Adventureland or DAK, way cool, I can get...

I didn't get the impression that Disney had much to do with the first two, other than distribution and/or footing part of the bill; can anyone speak (write) to that?
