Just finished watching the disc. To my relief, a few groaners aside the movie is still great, though not quite as visually mind-blowing in 2D. Time to start shopping for a 3D plasma I guess

Well, he did say he wanted to give Jake a big wet kiss at one point.

My son (who is almost 2 1/2 now) told my wife "I want jungle man movie!" and she said.... "Do you want Snipe movie?" (being "UP" ) and he said "I WANT JUNGLE MAN MOVIE!!!" and she said "Bug movie????" and he yet again said "JUNGLE MAN MOVIE!!!"

so she asked me what he was talking about, and I told her I had no idea.......... but he was talking about Rambo, First Blood Pt 1

Sadly my 2 nephews have no decent parents (my sister (their mother) has no desire to hold a job and lives on food stamps and pays NO child support

and their father does pay child support but but don't really care much for a relationship w/ them,

my parents and me have permanant custody and they live with us

) Were all they got, if not for us they would be in foster care.

I don't know. I still can't understand The Dark Knight myself.

But people have a variety of tastes. You just need to learn to accept that.

Just cause a movie makes a lot of money, doesn't mean everyone will love it.

I've never understood this sentiment. Whether you enjoyed or disliked a movie you're always entitled to discuss it. Anything less is a useless circle jerk.

Tell the people who endlessly whine when I don't fall on my knees in wonder at The Dark Knight.

The same people who whine and moan cause I don't wanna blow Nolan or Bale.

Mark W's movie is just "Fear", pretty entertaining from what I recall.

"Cape Fear" is a De Niro classic
