[snip!]
 DM>        Scheduled release date is May 20th.
 GC> Well, I've sure been enjoying the trailers.  Nice little films all
 GC> by themselves.
Darned if I know if I'm going to see it or not... I never was all that
much of a fan of Godzilla -- I always liked Rodan and Mothra better.  
The Taco Bell ad ("Heeere, leezard leezard leezard") is funny as hell,
though.  Heck, that entire new set of Taco Bell ads with their chihuahua
"spokesman" are pretty darn funny... just goes to show that what they
say about advertising is usually true: you can't really go wrong with
kids, animals, or sex...
 
 DM>  ~Small Soldiers~ -- Kirsten Dunst, voice of Tommy Lee Jones; directed 

[snip!]
 GC> Ugh! Too bad they didn't get hold of Gene Wolfe's, THE WAR BENEATH THE
 GC> TREE. Here, on Christmas eve, the "old" toys (rather intelligent
 GC> robots) were laying in wait to do battle with the new toys - so as to
 GC> insure survival for another year. But the new toys were smarter, as
 GC> usual, and it didn't go well for them...
 GC> A SF classic, but it would probably work better on television where a
 GC> shorter form would intensify the action.
After the success of ~Toy Story~, I'm actually kinda surprised that there
weren't more movies like it made (live action of CGI)... it's definitely
the type of movie - as shown by all the advertisers jumping on this
particular bandwagon - which is almost guaranteed to have large
corporate sponsers; after all -- advertisers can nail kids *any* day
of the week with a movie, not just on Saturday mornings.
