    This is going to be a long thread.

Suddenly, no one was building new homes in the state. But this did not deter Derek Jeter. Showing the same leadership he displays on the hallowed field of Yankee Stadium, Jeter steadfastly brought hope and inspiration to the American economy by building a new house in Florida against the odds."

    That picture was not so big when I copied the url. It must be David Wright's enthusiasm growing.

    So my mother grew up in the Bronx and when she was very young a friend of hers bragged that she was going to visit Ireland with her family. My mother retorted, "So what, we go to City Ireland every summer." I still can't help but call it City Ireland myself.

    Edgy DC wrote: Eh, they all say that. I think it's an important distinction. A movie made based on L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz would be very different from a remake of the 1939 MGM The Wizard of Oz. I haven't seen either version of True Grit though, nor read the book, so I can't add anything more to this conversation.

    Don Bluth was a prominent animator for Disney in the 60's and 70's before splitting off and creating competing company that put out several hits in the 80's. So yeah, he was a spawn of Disney.

    0 Inspired by Gil Meche, he returns all his salary to the Mets on the condition it's used to upgrade the offense. He spends the season meditating at an ashram at hopes of becoming a better person.

    Cute baby dinosaurs trek across a barren wasteland in search of the mythical Great Valley and learn a lot about not being prejudiced and working as a team along the way. I found it uneven over all. The animation is absolutely gorgeous at times and then crappy the next scene (the dinosaurs keep changing size!). Are they going for naturalistic-looking animals or cutesy anthropomorphic dino kids? And the plot is lifted from dozens of family films from Bambi to An American Tail (the latter not-coincidentally director Don Bluth's previous film). It ended rather abruptly too as if they needed to meet the running time. I expect kids aren't going to really notice the difference but I think this could have been a much better movie with a little effort. My son liked it. The Sharptooth was pretty scary for him and the death of Mother Longneck prompted lots and lots of questions. Well really everything prompted lots of questions. But he wants to watch it again. PS - Spike, the lazy stegosaurus who eats all the time, totally rules.

I first read this as "inconvenienced only 78 Marlins' season ticketholders." At least that's what I wanted to believe it said. PotD
