I have kids, and I haven't seen any of these. Frozen is about the only kids movie I've seen. Between rainy days at camps and days the aftercare teachers get lazy, my kids have seen all of them on their own.Johnnie wrote:Wreck It Ralph and Big Hero 6 were good. I haven't seen the others.

"Up" may have the best opening montage in history. As an animation writer, I admire it so much, but as a father who ended up bawling like a baby next to his daughter and her friends in the theatre, I hate it so much.

Re: Return of Confessions
Yeah, I'm a huge baby when it comes to this stuff. The one that got me the most (and probably would just kill me now that I have girls) is the very last scene in Monsters, Inc. when the little girl sees Sully and Mike and her face just lights up.
Haven't seen Wall-E or some of the later ones just because I don't watch that many movies any more. I'm sure that's going to change as my daughters start to watch movies.

Re: Return of Confessions
I love my wife dearly and completely. Deciding to get married over 20 years ago was the best and smartest thing I have ever done. I can't imagine what my life would be like without her...
But honest to fucking God, every time I drive her somewhere when she is stressed out, I feel like aiming at a lamp post on the passenger side. I have had my driver's license for 35 years and have a spotless record and have not had a fender bender since I was 22... but she acts like I'm a meth addicted, half-blind 16 year old when the blood sugar is low and the stress is high.
On a positive note, she's gone to Ottawa for a week-long orientation for her new job.
But the drive to the airport today was not a pleasant experience.

Re: Return of Confessions
Does she press on the floor as if to pump the brake because you're driving too fast? Or put her hand on the dash when you're slowing down as if to brace for impact?

Re: Return of Confessions
Driving her to the small downtown airpot yesterday, making a left turn and a jagoff on a bike wasn't looking, made a turn and was heading towards the car. Mind you, this was at 10 mph and we both hit the brakes at least 10 feet from each other. My hungry, stressed wife screamed. The rest of the drive was her raving - not paying attention, maybe I need to get my eyes checked, lucky I've never killed anyone.Johnnie wrote:Does she press on the floor as if to pump the brake because you're driving too fast?

Spoke to her later when she was in her hotel, eating room service and watching the Bachelorette. Like it never happened.

Re: Return of Confessions
Stories like this are why I have severe reservations about marriage. But I also have mother issues and an ex gf that was a classic psycho. So with me being the common denominator there, I feel like I attract crazy. I mean, a girl agreed to do blow off my dick before realizing that her way of living might be a little off.

Considering that she was stressed because she was flying out for meetings for her new job (that pays better than the old one) means that I can grin and bear it.
But more to the point - she did blow off your dick?
Whoa...

Re: Return of Confessions
No, unfortunately. It was an idea I had tossed at her thinking "how far could I take this?" And she was into the thought of it, but shortly after we hooked up a second time she re-neg'd and swore herself into celibacy while in therapy. (I firmly believe it to be bullshit. But we're still Facebook friends.)

Just as well this never happened. She planned on cutting the lines on your dick, and using a razor to do the cutting.

There are certain pop songs that I looked down on and actively denigrated when they were hot, but hear again decades later and say to myself, "you know, that's a nice, catchy pop song!"

When that song was out I drove from Portland to Moscow ID. We had rented a car and didn't realize it only had a radio, no CD or tape player. Eastern Washington isn't a hotbed of great radio. We were quite excited when MMMMBop came on the radio.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Re: Return of Confessions
On a related note - and I'm thinking not unusual - I can remember the lyrics from so many old pop songs and TV jingles from when I was, say 6-12, but there are songs I've listened to dozens and dozens of times since then that I just can't get the lyrics without seeing them.
Which is why I could still sing "I Beg Your Pardon (I Never Promised You A Rose Garden)" but not "Trampled Underfoot."
