I don't care how old I am...I WILL go see Beauty & the Beast in theaters.

*checks cast*

I knew Emma Watson was the lead, but perhaps Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts? Absolutely!
 
While we had the family over Saturday afternoon after the confirmation, the daughter's boyfriend stopped by and dropped off a gift for her. He was polite and friendly and the gift was actually pretty nice (one of those wooden angels with wire wings). I don't know what to think. hmmmmm.

You were that age once. You know exactly what his plan is...

In defense of this kid, he might just be really nice. In high school I was really attracted to my girlfriend but that was only one part of our relationship. I also just really liked being her boyfriend and making her happy in and of itself, not as part of a master plan.
 
For anyone interested and has the time (over an hour and 20 minutes!) This is an incredibly GOOD interview by Conan O'Brien of Mark Lewisohn. Mr. Lewisohn is the author of an incredibly in depth book (Tune In) which covers the history of the Beatles up to 12/31/62. He is working on two more volumes continuing the story chronologically.

He does an incredible job of putting the story into perspective of the times and helps explain the change/influence of the group by also putting it into context of how things were done before. It does such a good job of explaining the "how it is now" bias that makes it somewhat difficult for people to appreciate what actually changed. And how incredible it all actually DID happen - and almost didn't - in so many different ways.

BTW, my son and niece loved The Little Mermaid. And we're very much looking forward to Peter Pan this time next year!

Good! We went Friday night and it was pretty good with only a few technical issues that kids won't care about that bothered me. My wife said Saturday night was good but yesterday was everyone was out of it. They have five shows this coming week so I am sure they will be digging deep on Sunday.
 
Fun fact, that line is from a movie about a porn star. The Girl Next Door. Great movie. Emile Hursch or whatever his name is, Elisha Cutbbert, Timothy Olyphant, Olivia Wilde.......great movie.
Much much better than I thought it would be the first time I saw it.
 
I accidentally keep going into the game of thrones thread thinking it's the murder house game thread. Takes me a sentence or two of trying to understand WTH they are talking about before I look at the title. Never seen game of thrones and that's why it takes a while.
