favorite scenes: I liked the scenes with the dancing chick. That chick can sure dance better than I can!
I liked the "doll" scene.
I liked the "watermelon" scene, too.
audience reaction: The audience liked it, especially the little brats.
recommendation: I liked this movie, too. Go see it with your little brats.
spoiler alert! If that's how them bunnies make them jelly beans, then that big ol' hopper filled to overflowing is the central processing part of their sewer system. Yuck! How come everybody else was oblivious to the bunny's presence inside the diner? You would think that such a creature would find instant fame worldwide without any effort at all on its part. Yeah, we know that this movie is by the same guys who gave us last year's DESPICABLE ME. But do they have to rub it in by showing us a bunch of yellow "minions" yet again? Don't get me wrong. I like the minions in DESPICABLE ME, and these chicks are cute; but too much is too much.
fyi: Easter eggs really have nothing to do with Christianity. The use of eggs to symbolize Life began as a Pagan tradition which pre-dates Christianity by hundreds of years. I think that it was the ancient Persians who started it all. Interestingly, the ancient Persians' State religion was Zoroastrianism, a religion which is in many ways similar to Christianity.
At my current place of employment here in Benicia, California, my first day of work was April 7th ( anniversary coming up ), which was an Easter Sunday. I was worried about it since I was "the new guy". I worried that maybe they'd have me put on an Easter Bunny suit! And it was quite a warm day, too, on top of it all. But, luckily for me, my worry was unfounded.
One of my teachers in high school, who spent some time in the Philippines, gave a little white girl a Balut ( duck egg with a duckling embryo inside of it ) for Easter. She never went to an Easter Egg Hunt after that! I don't necessarily feel sorry for her because she's one less competition for us Balut-eaters. Ha, ha, ha.
One of the sons of my friend, Hector, has one of those giant eyeglass frames laying in the back of his pick-up truck. Some optometrist out there must be missing it. Hmm, I wonder if there's a reward for turning in the culprit. Hey, money is tight these days, what can I say ....
word of advice: If you get Jelly Bean candy this Easter, check it for fur!
tidbits: A couple of little brats kind of spoiled it for the rest of us movie-goers because they were making noises and crying for the better part of the show. And what did I already say about the Vallejo crowd ...? But what I didn't know was at what age that they started to become rude, inconsiderate and obnoxious!
I had planned on seeing this movie in San Francisco, California, at the Metreon because I wanted to attend the WonderCon Convention after the show just a block away at Moscone Center, South. But my computer was acting up. I spent an hour cleaning, optimizing and de-fragging my computer. Then, I read some very important e-documents which required my prompt attention ( this, alone, took about three hours ). But when I transferred some new e-mail correspondence to my in-box, all of them got corrupted and were subsequently erased! I had to track down the e-mail addresses of each of my new correspondents, inform them of the problem and ask each one of them to e-mail me again at my other e-mail address. By the time that I was done with it all, it was already around 3:30 p.m. So, my S. F. plans were scrapped because of this old trouble-prone laptop of mine. And I had so wanted to see Ryan Reynolds promoting his up-coming GREEN LANTERN movie. Darn it!
