  - And also brings a variety of things for Logan to do as well while he waits. - Inigo Feb 6, 06:16 1
    - If you have a portable DVD player, it would be the perfect time for him to see Cars on DVD. -- nm - Inigo Feb 6, 06:29
- I'm sorry. What does he need done? -- nm - Inigo Feb 6, 06:13
- : ( poor little guy. when? -- nm - Andie Feb 6, 06:13 6
  - In a few weeks. Good news: He has tear ducts (I didn't realize this was even an issue.) Bad news, they don't do anything so he's getting tubes put - Amy Feb 6, 06:15 5

Coraline - B-. The 3D is great (in that it's not in your face - not a bunch of stuff swooshing out at you.) but the story, is, well, simple. - Andie Feb 6, 06:08 7
- I liked the P. Craig Russell graphic adaptation better. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 6, 06:47
- Well, the book is only like 180 pages long. Have you read the book? - JaxSean Feb 6, 06:12 5
  - i have not. i'm sure your girls will *love* it. - Andie Feb 6, 06:13 4
    - Yeah, we figured it would be well worth the extra price for 3D -- nm - The Coraline Cat Coalition Feb 6, 06:19 3
      - I'm very surprised at how underpriced this is on hsx. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 6, 06:20 2
        
        i expected the preview to be packed - it wasn't. -- nm - Andie Feb 6, 06:41
        
        To be honest...I've really not been playing much, almost none since the Orange Fiasco -- nm - The Coraline Cat Coalition Feb 6, 06:23

  - Memo to the Dallas Cowboys...TO is only a teeny tiny part of the idiocy going on down there. Getting rid of him does little to right the ship. - Jim Feb 6, 06:26 1

    - Pippy said it wasn't very good. - kelly Feb 6, 06:14 3
      - The film didn't grip me, and was very generic. However we were distracted by the audience talking, making drug deals, to pay attention to the film. - LMS Feb 6, 06:24 2
        
        Wow! - kelly Feb 6, 06:26 1
        
        Oh, this was a theatre in DC, not at home! -- nm - LMS Feb 6, 06:39
