people just don't seem to have "control your children" skills....

Yesterday (Friday) was a positive ZOO at the theatre -- school ended for
the year on Thursday, Nemo opened (I swear, they had it in five
theaters....)

Was worried that the two next to me were going to be the "what's this?"
"what's that?" "that's Nemo, right" -- but after about
10 minutes they
shushed -- or I became completely absorbed.....
either way

Don't know that I will, but will bear in mind.
Tuesday nights are good for movies.....
Weekends (especially with the hype surrounding Nemo), right out.
I knew we were risking it yesterday -- but arrived a half hour earlly for
the 5:15 show.
Reid went in and held seats, while I waited for Russ to show at 5.
It wasn't a FULL house, but probably 95%.

Like the entire sequence they used in the first previews, that did NOT
appear in the movie.
I was Disappointed.

Well, I'd seen him in Three & Four Musketeers, so knew he could pull it
off.

I admit to having a lot of curiosity
Also how they're going to do The Haunted Mansion....

Hard to top Bill Bixby: "Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when
I'm angry."

Right now I'm debating about the covers for The In Laws (Michael Douglas
is looking SOOO like his dad, and clearly having a hoot), and the Italian
Caper (I think it is). When the originals were so good....

Tried to find the original In-Laws to rent today, but was denied,
tygress....
