I didn't see it that many times....but I was walking into the theater with my mom (I was 16) and we ran into my best friend walking out of the theater with his mom. We both gave each other the, "we shall not speak of this" look.

I tried to make a parody of this, but the original lyrics are just so great:

Down in LouisianaWhere the alligators grow so meanLived a girl, that I swear to the worldMade the alligators look so tame

Every day just before supper timeShe'd go on down by the truck patchAnd pick her a mess of Polk saladAnd carry it home in a tote sack

Polk Salad Annie'Gators got your grannyEverybody said it was a shameFor her mama was a-working on a chain gangA wretched, spiteful, straight-razor, totin' womanLord, have mercy

This is the movie I'd much rather see. I'm still furious that The Lego Movie didn't get a nomination for Best Animated Feature.

in was blissfully unaware of this. now i will be haunted by it. i say the force was with me. i didn't see it until i was old enough to understand that not all try hit the mark. sometimes they don't even get close.

In the Special Edition, they digitally insert Andy Serkis as the motion-capture dude.

So nice to see Kane, Siegel, and Shuster listed in big ol' letters in the end credits. There's something to be said for some IP lawsuits, at least.

Which reminds me of the best real nerd argument I ever overheard, sitting near some high school kids on a bus (when I was poor and still took buses like the little people):

"OK, so do you think a lightsaber could cut through Mithril chain mail?"

Happily, the American remake never happened (shudder)
