I too find all the butt-wiggling and butt references in movies to be vulgar and offputting. So do my kids.

As you can see Book, the g machine strikes again. Not only different parenting philosophies but different political philosophies as well. Of course, those two may be just about the same thing in the end.

His Way is superior, Book, because he knows the ultimate source of enlightenment. Oh yes he does.

You insult yourself. A John Waters movie is a John Waters movie.

Don’t worry about insulting yourself, Book, g has that covered in spades. Prejudice, a Leftist trait since they like to stay on one host. Keep things predictable and easy, in a way.

The philosophy is simple. Once you become blacklisted by the Left, you are forever on such a list. There is no personal redemption for those that have betrayed the Left, Book. There wasn’t for Hitler and the Nazis.

In any event, it was not my decision to have them watch the movie, and I myself watched it with them solely to stand as a values bulwark between them and anything Hollywood chose to insert into a PG movie. In other words, I was the parental guidance.

That joke wasn’t so much funny as it was sad.

Amy Adams, who plays Giselle, the heroine, manages to carry off that romantic sweetness without becoming cloying or saccharine.

I don’t get into criticisms of acting. It is enough for me that I liked her.

My only caveat is that very small children may find parts of the movie scary.

The roaches creeped me out, Book.

The queen was funny since she chose the wrong combat spell. Her tactics were ridiculous with the resources at her command. And every witch and sorceress should know that they always have a close perimeter guard like a golem or zombie ; ) Prevents those close combat moments while casting spells. Even gun powder armed units required a guard of pikemen, back before the rof got near to automatic level. Unwise, unwise. Also did you notice that the evil witch was projecting her faults upon Giselle? Giselle didn’t have an evil scheming bone in her body. So obviously the plotful witch needed to ensure her security, which eventually caused a Greek hubris event.

“The shower was wonderful” line by Giselle was a funny joke since it implied a couple of things that went well with the scenario joke.

The character development of the Prince and the side kick villain was sparse, but at least they had some.

The Prince had a pretty good rapier too.

I like the catchy songs too. But I’m a sucker for nice songs sung by nice women.

Now that I’ve seen the movie, it seems both movies are about true love.

The music used for atmospheric setting was fairy tale funny in that it would always repeat itself at those obvious points. Everytime the Prince would start up the charge, the music would increase in pace to match.
