Fantastic Mr. Fox

Fantastic Mr. Fox ticketstubLet me just say up front, I'm not familiar with the Roald Dahl book this movie is based on. I also probably shouldn't have seen this movie in the afternoon on a weekend. Lots of kids who don't know what an "indoor voice" is. The movie itself? I guess it was alright. A few "adult" jokes, but not really enough to hold my attention. Actually, I felt myself driving off three or four times. I feel like maybe there were some serious pacing issues? Probably. In technical terms, the stop motion animation felt, well, primitive, but it is fun to see something different. The voice acting was fine, but obviously couldn't carry the movie on its own. And what was the thing with the wolf at the end? Someone?

2/5

@alibakes Haywire is a sparse little covert thriller featuring a smooth jazz score. I can't think of anything else to say about it.

@kumailn Funny, at first I thought you were referring to the now defunct game studio.

@dcorsetto For the record, I'm more grossed out by pooping. And war. War and pooping, mostly.

@wired I only use Gmail to manage my Contacts. Today was the first time I had seen the new interface. I couldn't find the Contacts.

@jessiechar The scary thing is, most hipsters don't know they're hipsters.// How ironic.

Twitter ran out of "who to follow" recommendations for me. I should probably turn the Internet off now.
