A guilty pleasure, but I quite enjoyed the Madagascar movies

So, lazy me could go look it up, but care to give me a brief synopsis of Brave?

Back online- that was quick! All moved?

IN THE PORN DUNGEONS OF A SCOTTISH CASTLE, WHERE BOTH HUMAN AND ALIEN ALIKE WERE WELCOME TO VISIT, AND OFTEN DID SO ON REGULAR.... Oh wait no- wrong film! D:

Basically, free-spirited ginger chick with way too much hair and not a very accurate representation of how freckly a ginger kid is (one freckle per stolen soul), living in medieval Scotland- she's a princess and needs to choose a suitor from surrounding clans, she doesn't want to and rebels causing war over broken tradition/pacts among the clan. She runs away with her incredibly attractive clydesdale and follows crazy little spirit things in the forest, finds a witch, stubbornly demands a spell then goes back home to "change her mother's mind" with the spell, of course it doesn't happen as she plans and bad things ensue. The story is all interwoven with old Scottish legends which she then has to try and decipher to undo bad shit, sexy male bear/demon thing, and that's pretty much it! It's quite short compared to other Pixar films (90 minutes + short film La Luna which is really sweet), and thus the story isn't as deep- pretty amazing though.

Much comedy ensues, plus lots of other emotions as you'd expect from Pixar- it's pretty incredible to look at and sound design, etc is amazing. Can't say it enough- GORGEOUS.

Yeah, we're moved into the new place and reconnected (which only took a day, colour me very surprised!). Still piles of boxes everywhere and we can't fit a car into the DOUBLE garage due to all the... stuff But it is only for a few months until our house is completed up on the hill, and this place is brand new, double-glazed, well insulated and very quiet all for the same price per week as the other. So a definite silver lining at least, even if this move has cost us a week off work and around $2000 in costs...

Awwww dammit Mr. Wolfmonkey, don't TEASE me like that! I'd buy out an entire theatre for the pleasure of sitting down to watch a film about sexy humans and aliens getting it onnnnnn

Okay, I'm sold on Brave - will see if I can drag Pete along to it sometime when it comes out. What are your thoughts on Prometheus? Is that an Event or Village score?

Did you like my BRAVE synopsis and should I get a job as a copywriter for said purpose?

Haven't actually seen Prometheus as I was in Queenstown at the time of the screening- I'm thinking you should check it out in DBOX though at Hoyts, in which case wait for me and we can go after dinner when I come down (figure I'll wait a couple weeks for Pete to come back, so let me know when that is and I'll give you advance notice!). Otherwise if ya can't wait- let me know and I'll hook you up at Chartwell.

Let me know if you want to come hang one night after work or next Saturday if you think you'll get too lonely with Pete away- I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU BUDDY!

Your BRAVE synopsis was top notch - anyone would think you worked in an industry where you had to think about such things on occasion

We can wait for you to grace us with your royal presence until we see Prometheus, I am sure. Pete will be back on Monday week, so the weekend following that (23/24th) would work out well if you were free then? Coupled with that, it's Pete's birthday on the 23rd so a good excuse for us all to go out for dinner and a movie to celebrate.

Funny you should mention next Saturday actually, I was planning to head up to Dorkland to check out some archery supply shops, so if you were around and at a loose end it would be great to go hang if you're keen? You're a lovely, top bloke, Mr. Wolfmonkey - thank you

I want to see Brave so much! I can't wait to get out and see it! I'm hoping my mother and I can make a date out of it :P

It's well worth the wait- let me know what you think when you get to check it out. ^^

I will!
