Happy Feet -- I like the little hispanic penguins. They crack me up.

Flushed Away -- I like the little slugs. They crack me up.

Titanic...I love that flick. It's so well done. I still have a hard time figuring out why a lot of people don't like it.

Leo and the fact that they already know how it ends.... Thus someone made a T-shirt "The boat sank get over it"

Ah, that fired up a touching memory, phoenix. Know the song, SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME? Who doesn't? It was written by Doc Pomus, a NY kid. He and his partner Mort Shulman wrote =many= great songs. But Doc was crippled-up by polio as a child. He wrote the song after his wedding. Doc couldn't take the traditional dance with his bride. He watched, in his wheelchair, as his brother danced in his place.

I love that song. "But do't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're gonna be. And darling save the last dance for me." :o

Yup. Guess I'm a sap, but the image of Doc in his wheelchair, watching, makes me hafta wipe my eyes. Or maybe it's the wind...my eyes have always been sensitive to it...

What! That was a reference to what Abe said when Jack was in the little boat, bringing Vicky back from the rakoshi hell-ship!
