Wow! "The Lego Movie" Got A Lot of Positive Reviews

10 years ago

I just saw it with my 10-year-old son today.

He loved it, and I appreciated it for the overall level of sophistication and plot twists. I probably would have enjoyed it more, but I am suffering from a wicked case of jet lag and took a few catnaps during the first half.

I will tell you that the big twist is very cleverly pulled off, and well worth the experience. I am glad nobody ruined it for me.

I was surprised at the number of positive reviews. I'm just so glad I never have to sit through a movie made for kids anymore. I'd rather rip out my own fingernails rather than go through that torture again.

Luckily for me, I enjoy a lot of kids shows. I've even started writing kids stories and screenplays to entertain my son (and maybe to self-publish and produce down the road). We're actually making little Lego movies ourselves.

Did you look into Edward gorey?

He's a great storyteller for kids. Apparently his books ahve been selling like hot cakes.

We didn't go a movie theater to watch, The Lego Movie. My son, 3 going on 4, is a big-time Lego aficionado but he's not ready to sit still for the duration of a movie. But with its astonishing number of rave reviews, especially by imdb standards, we'll definitely have to buy it to view it at home.

Unbelievable.

Oh, I'm going to see the movie. I'm not taking my kids or grandkids. I mean I'm going to sit in a room full of kids and watch it myself. My grandkids are too mature for something like this.

But not me. I'm not kidding. I thought the Toy Story series was amazing.

FOX...sigh....who else is the villain going to be? A poor homeless vagabond?
Besides..Batman is rich.....and Superman is Powerful. See? The good guys are Rich and Powerful too. Man, get a life.

Fox is baffling. Businesses have been raking in a fortune selling anti-business products forever. They grew up on the same rock and roll just about everyone else in North American did. Why are they playing dumb?
