I just voluntarily ended my seven year unofficial hiatus from viewing movies in the theater last night. Oddly enough it was ended on "Cheaper by the Dozen." I wouldn't disagree with anyone who termed this action as anti-climactic. However the movie did have a few positive notes that are worth mentioning to any fence-sitters. One of those was a scene that is bound to become legend, where Aston Kutcher (Sp?) gets semi-violated by a crotch-sniffing dog on steriods. That scene alone was worth ticket cost ($7.50, ouch). There is one idea the movie brings out, albeit not as well as some families in my area, and that is the idea of the joy of large families. Now the bunch in this movie was not normal, and likely wouldn't be found as they are anywhere. But they did sell the idea of a house full of children being joyful. That is something. Honestly the movie had very little else to offer. See it at your own discretion.

Posted by: Robbie at January 12, 2004 09:56 AMSeven-year hiatus, huh? So does that make Waterworld one of the last you saw in the theater (or was it just Chuck and I who went to see that at the Micro)?
Welcome to blogdom, Mike. Glad to have you around.
Posted by: jon amos at January 12, 2004 04:19 PMI think that just you and Chuck went to that one in the Micro (now a well known tattoo house.) I'm not sure I've even seen waterworld. Glad you guys took time to look at this extremely insignificant thought. Hopefully things should be more interesting from here on out.
