cmdr_zoomJust got back from seeing Finding Nemo with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
naudiz. Good movie. Go see it.
Assorted comments:
Mr. Ray is a cool teacher. I wish there were more like him. Pearl, the little octopus with the incontinence problem, was so cute.
"Bruce," of course, is a reference to the mechanical shark used for Jaws, but it's also funny because of a certain Python skit about Aussies...
That shivering guppy, scared out of its tiny mind, made me think of a human "guest" at a meeting of vampires.
Did anyone get the model, or at least the nationality, of that sub?
Quite a bunch of characters in the tank. Welcome to the loony bin. I especially liked Jacques, the peppermint shrimp: "Voila - he is clean." And the one whose twin sister lives in the mirror...
Heh, tribal initiation. And 150-year-old surfer dooood. When Crush explained (reminded, in my case) how sea turtles reproduce, it made perfect sense that he'd be a lot more laid back about the subject.
Dory's condition was played for laughs through most of the movie, and she seemed okay with it ... which made it all the more affecting when it wasn't okay, and we got a glimpse of how awful it can be to live without a past.
Also, it's a good thing I already had fish and chips this morning, for lunch, because that net full of terrified screaming fish (tuna?) has put me off seafood for a while. That's a scene I'd definitely mark as "may be too intense for small children."
Loved the gulls. And that was a very creative method of interrogation/coercion.
I dunno about ovaries, Ard, but the ending did almost make me want to be a dad...
Great cameo in the credits, too. No outtakes yet, though. Alas.

Mine?

"Swim AWAY!"
