They become permanent parts of our inner landscape. In this case, I watched my boy watching: I swear, he had one eye turned away, the other glued to the scene. <br /><br />Now, that's weird in itself!Melissa Holbrook Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617752678155038816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333594380363882958.post-81130325075854055032009-04-24T03:42:00.000-07:002009-04-24T03:42:00.000-07:00It is terrifying and I loved the surrealism at a y...It is terrifying and I loved the surrealism at a young age, also the song: "Just Because We're Kids."nancy oarneire grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14268381210476277512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333594380363882958.post-63641538142518785612009-04-11T18:23:00.000-07:002009-04-11T18:23:00.000-07:00Yes, I'm glad I was (more or less) an adult when I...Yes, I'm glad I was (more or less) an adult when I first saw it; my son, though, got really hung up on the injustice angle, and was angry at adults for a long time. You are so right about the Willy Wonka remake--which made me angry at the whole sugar-marketing angle myself: I never thought I could ever tire of looking at Johnny Depp, until his face stared back from a million packages of Hostess snack cakes.Melissa Holbrook Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617752678155038816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333594380363882958.post-66242279117287151822009-04-11T16:01:00.000-07:002009-04-11T16:01:00.000-07:00This movie scared the shit out of me when I was a ...This movie scared the shit out of me when I was a child.
