I mean why wouldn't you think that? Just on my end it's "Wha?? Kids? Not me!" Ha. I'm sure there will be a Coraline analysis sometime in the future. And hey, Bolt is coming out on DVD next week. I may do one on that too. :) K Not problem on the daughter thing. I mean why wouldn’t you think that? Just on my end it’s “Wha?? Kids? Not me!” Ha.

I put "my little companion" and "10 year old" together and boom. Not budging IS a good sign! This will be your confirmation, Slumdog ain't musical. Period. You know the only musical that I really enjoyed, live action film-wise, will be Chicago. But I digress. That's true, I didn't even think about the grandma thing. At some point I thought the movie feels like a video game. Anyways, I'm getting way ahead of myself. I'm waiting for your further analysis if you choose to do so in the future. Like really hoping. *Finger cross. *Toss coin in the waterfall. *Wish upon a star. I’m sorry to presume. I put “my little companion” and “10 year old” together and boom.

I volunteer as a 'Big Sister' so I hang out with her once a week. Keeps me young. :) She just seemed to like the whole thing. She didn't really mention any specific part. She was so taken into the story, she didn't budge the whole time! I may give Slumdog a go after confirming it's not a musical (not that I'm totally against musicals or anything. But I prefer my musicals animated. Unless it's the original 'Grease'.) One of my story issues had to do with Wybie's 'hidden grandmother'. I felt it was leading up to some kind of payoff that never came. I'd have to see it again to get more clear on the story-stuff though. Which I plan on doing. ;) K Daughter? *cough, sputter* No, no, no…my little friend isn’t my daughter. I volunteer as a ‘Big Sister’ so I hang out with her once a week. Keeps me young. \':)\'

What part does she enjoy? @ Friar/Karen, I'm backing Chris on this one. Do yourself a flavor and go see Slumdog. Bolt actually was never designed for stereoscopic presentation and even the directors don't design their story/settings/layout, etc. around it. The post added the presentation much later in the pipeline. On the other hand, Caroline from the get go was designed for stereoscopic presentation. And guess what?! It doesn't feel like things popping out to the screen (i.e. Beowulf). "There were a couple of minor story issues that nagged me a bit when it was over." OooOOooo...I wanna know. I have couple of opinions on my own, maybe a little bit of Deus Ex Machina issue? I’m curious what your daughter like about the movie? What part does she enjoy?

(That's the rebellious engineer in me, being contrary to what the artsies all say!) ;-) @Patricia The secret to getting 100 comments is to have 2-3 stalker/fans, who are responsibliy for 80% of all the discussion. I don't get it either. I might get a post that gets "Stumb-holed Upon", and I'll get 400 hits in one day. But I'll STILL only get the same 4-5 people comment.
