I love this... I ca...You are too darn sweet, Jenni! I love this... I can't believe I didn't start one sooner! I keep telling my friends to create one of their own so I have more to read. I look for updates from you ALL of the time! I love reading about your daily happenings! This is, by far, better than Facebook!!! haha...<br /><br />About the movie, I said to Brad half way through that it seemed too scary for kids & Brad said the author of the book made a comment about the author was actually quoted as saying parents who are concerned about it being scary should go to hell... I decided to look up the exact quote:<br /><br />"I would tell them to go to hell," Sendak said. "And if children can't handle the story, they should "go home," he added. "Or wet your pants. Do whatever you like. But it's not a question that can be answered."<br /><br />I thought that was really harsh & pretty inappropriate. For goodness sake, if I was a little scared at 27, I can't imagine what Tre & Britton would think of it. How aweful would it be if one of their favorite books was ruined because the movie scared them?!? Anyway... off my soap box. Maybe in a few years they can enjoy it! I definitely recommend seeing it when it comes out on DVD (especially since you and Brad both read the book as kids). Mom, I kept asking Brad if certain parts happened in the book. He tried to remember as best as he could, but I think he needs a refresher when I finally read it. I will have to dig through the last set of boxes that came up with you to see if the book is here, but I don't think it's in the most recent boxes. Worst case scenario, I plop myself down at Borders for 5 minutes and read it. ;-)Kalenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00323602005616533697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7666040659112991485.post-83562399022047322042009-11-02T19:13:58.815-05:002009-11-02T19:13:58.815-05:00I actually got a few clips of the movie & deci...I actually got a few clips of the movie & decide it was a bot intense for my kids, but the soundtrack is awesome.

Jenni and I were talking about the movie the other day. Sounds like a fun date night. Love you...mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297097252601790622noreply@blogger.com
