Children of Men - miserable and depressing and traumatising
Happy Feet - unexpectedly involving and funny, with added penguins
Cars - a bit weird (how do cars reproduce anyway?) but quite enjoyable
Rataouille - unexpectedly involving and funny, with added rats
Cloverfield - miserable and depressing and unsatisfying, with added monsters

Tennis - more big big weapons on display tonight. Roger won his match against Soderling, and lookin' suave. Mandy beat Sam Querrey, Jo Wili Tsonga beat Radek Stepanek. *manly fist pump*

I had to endure Children of Men not too long ago. I wanted to gouge my eyes out.

I loved Ratatouille! Rats living in sewers and nesting in people's houses and eating garbage should not be that cute. But they were.

Ugh, Cloverfield. I have not even seen it, but I know what happened in it and I do not approooove.

Happy Feet was awesome. I was also unexpectedly involved and amused.

There's a certain Finnish children's song about two cars that decide they want to have a baby, so the call a hospital.
The doctor there assures them they do have babies a plenty, but that first one of them has to get fat. So, just to maker sure, both cars stuff their luggage space full of stuff.
Later they get another call asking to come get the baby, but when they arrive at the hospital...they see a motorcycle lying on a bed!
The doctor says: "Don't worry, just feed it what you eat yourselves and it'll get four wheels when it grows up."

I've just always found that song amusing especially since it reminds me of a Saiyuki crack fic I read once.

Cars - saviour of my sanity! My toddler adores it. It's the only thing he adores besides Sean the Sheep, and STS eps only go for 8 minutes. I've tried all the usual suspects - Thomas the Tank Engine etc etc. But Cars it is. I rarely stick him in front of the television but sometimes he's ratty as, hitting the baby, whining constantly and I just have to pay a bill or cook dinner or... well, pee. He'll sit in front of Cars for an hour solid at times. I know that movie so well I can jump to scenes by number - you want to see Mater? Let me jump to scene 24. Sad, but true. The weird thing is, I've never actually watched it, so occasionally I look up and see things I've never seen before. And it is actually pretty funny, so it could have been worse.
