Instead of butchering the box, I just used a razor blade to take the UPC off of the box. I am going to get the in the mail tomorrow.

That is probably the same lineup I will pick as well.

Buy it anyway and sell it on Ebay. That way you get all the free movies and heroes.

Nemo just felt like I had seen that movie a hundred times before. I mean, how many times can you write a story about a kid who somehow loses his parents and goes on an adventure to reunite with them?

How many times can you write a story about a guy losing a girl, and spending the entire movie trying to get them back? Happens in every genre. Nemo is visually stunning, and has comedic value for an animated flick.

MESA! :thud:

I had ZERO interest in Nemo when it came out, but did the obligatory parent thing & went & saw it. Ellen DeGeneres was fabulous. If it weren't for her, I'd probably never watch it again (okay, I'll probably never watch it again anyway, but you get my point). I didn't really notice that it was visually stunning--but I generally don't pay attention to that sort of thing in movies. The story itself was just kinda "meh" to me, but damn was it funny.

So,

I put my HDDVD player on Craigslist yesterday and I'm getting $130 for it this afternoon.

So Heroes, and 8 HDDVDs cost me a total of $60.

Damn I am stoked!

Nemo was much better of a story. What did Fivel's dad learn? Nothing. He just got reunited. Fivel had adventures.

In Nemo, both father and son grew up, a lot. Learning to let go of your child. It addressed the parents and children in the audience, at the same time. Did anyone connect with Fivel's dad? Hell no. There are cats in america, pops. You are dumb. That's what I thought about him. However, I could understand and empathize with Marlin and wanting to protect his son, to the point of overprotecting him. His journey, and his son's captivity, taught them both strong things about themselves.

As a story, Nemo runs rings around An American Tale. The songs in AT are fun though.
