Maybe it's as simple as me liking food more than cars?

And I would be on the bandwagon with this. There is way too much I-Breathe-RECOGNIZE going on in my children's schools. I mean literally I can remember saying to my husband as I wrote out a check for a trophy congratulating Eldest Son on being on a team FFS, that this was getting a little bit ridiculous.Well, Otis, a big theme in The Incredibles is how terrible it is that everyone gets a trophy-- mediocrity is celebrated
But don't forget that the "supers" were frowned upon and the Incredibles family were part of a program that had them placed in a community where no-one new they were supers. What I found silly was the fact that the son would never allow himself to win as if that would somehow reveal that he had super powers.miss buenos aires wrote:I can't really speak to your experience, mood, but didn't you think it was a little ridiculous that the son wanted to race against people who didn't have superpowers? Couldn't they organize a race for superheroes?
I know they were in hiding, and that they couldn't actually organize a superheroes race, but really, it would be like me wanting to race kindergarteners. Why would I even want to?Tim(e) wrote:But don't forget that the "supers" were frowned upon and the Incredibles family were part of a program that had them placed in a community where no-one new they were supers.

Gee I don't know... I actually love the feeling I get when I manage to cross the line 75 metres ahead of those kindergarteners in a 100 metre racemiss buenos aires wrote:I know they were in hiding, and that they couldn't actually organize a superheroes race, but really, it would be like me wanting to race kindergarteners.

Also saw I'm Not There recently but since all of my comments about the film thus far have generated little response, I won't say too much about it except for that it is very weird and very cool.
Saw it a couple of days ago and felt exactly the same. Plenty dark, but no undercurrent of humor. Not a black comedy, just black.miss buenos aires wrote:We saw Sweeney Todd on Saturday... I thought it was a little too much with the bloody (be still my gut) and not enough with the funny. Has anyone else seen it?
