It's not everyday that your daughter tells you over lunch, "You know, Pete's Dragon is kinda like Christopher Walken dancing."

She was thinking of the fact that they had to edit in animation in the former, and paint out wires (well, digitally erase them) in the video for "Freedom of Choice."

This lead into a discussion of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which, of course, eventually led to the revelation that Professor Plum and Judge Doom are the same person.

Yeah, it was an interesting lunch. :-)

Don't forget Doc Brown, and John Bigboote (Buckaroo Banzai), and Uncle Fester, and and and.. yeah.

I like Christopher Lloyd. :)

Well, yeah, but she doesn't know those folks yet. :-)

Well, the others I can understand, but no Doc Brown? Every child should have the desire to get a Delorean with a Flux Capacitor!

Weapon Of Choice?

Re:

[yendi]

Well, the fact that we still haven't gotten the DVD set (since I really only liked the first movie) is a factor. But she'll see it.

The Fatboy Slim video (directed by Spike Jonze) with Christopher Walken dancing in an abandoned hotel.

I think it is so awesome that she knows about Pete's Dragon, the video with Christopher Walken, and Clue.

You guys do a great job exposing her to the right stuff. :)

Re:

[amokk]

Ah. I haven't gotten it yet, either, and I've been wanting to. I liked 1 and 3, and only somewhat liked 2.

I thought it was in a mall after closing?

Yeah, that's a pretty cool kid.

Yessiree Bob. Corrupt 'em while they're young.

Yup, that's 'Weapon Of Choice.'

For some reason, I read that as being oddly sexual. How much capacity for flux do you have?

[vurtsnake.livejournal.com]

Okay.. Christopher LLoyd is definitely a favorite..

So I gotta agree with exposing her to Back to the Future..

And while I'm not sure how she would take it.. later on,
definitely expose her to Buckaroo Banzai and Addam's Family. ;)

Anything that inspires her imagination is good.. And, well, these are some of the movies that still twist -my- imagination on a daily basis. ::child-like twinkling of the eyes:: ;)

Oh yeah, Addam's Family is one of my all-time favorites. I can't wait until she really begins to appreciate dark humor (I'm working on her by getting her addicted to The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy).

*pout* She hasn't seen Buckaroo Bonzai?!? Poor creature...
