SO BORING!!! I can't even really tell you what it was about. Apparently Shrek is the acting king of Far Far Away for some reason, and then he doesn't want to be. So he has to go find Justin Timberlake at Hogwarts and bring him back to the Castle where there's sure to be an awkward silence when they realize that they have both been at it with Cameron Diaz... meanwhile the celebutant princesses and Larry King are captured by the FLAMING Prince Charming and then the Nasonex Bee turns into a donkey... I don't freakin know. It sucked.
There was one funny and thrilling moment in the movie though... it came when a sudden cry of pain and some panicked activity came from the seat next to "P." At first I thought that "P" had finally snapped and whipped the 5 year old sitting there with a red vine after the kid's Nintendo DS started beeping for the 10th time. Turns out though that our row-neighbor had brought it on himself.
The little boy had become trapped after shoving his arm down the hole at the bottom of the cup holder in his armrest.
Most theaters have these kind of seats now... with the cupholder out there capping off the arm rest of each seat, right? Well, the poor little dude had managed to jam his arm down the hole at the bottom of that thing past his elbow, and when he tried to pull it out... he discovered that some things go IN easy but come OUT hard. His Dad tried his best to quiet the little guy down while attempting to extricate his arm from the cupholder, and for a while it didn't look good. I really thought we were going to have to get the Jaws of Life to pry him out, or amputate. I was glad I had a front row seat for either procedure. The kid was WAILING, probably more out of panic than pain.
"P" wasn't sure what to do!
Ultimately Dad managed to get the little guy's arm back up through the hole, and after 3 or 4 minutes of whimpering he was fine. Fine enough to fire up his Nintendo DS again.
Then Snow White started singing Led Zepplin... and I blocked out the rest of the movie... something about babies I think.

I hate to laugh at the misfortune of others, but that's funny! Jaws of life...
I'm big into 'schadenfreude'. I would have turned and laughed right in the kid's face. Probably provoking the ire of the father, but who cares? the little shit had it coming.
How funny ...
BTW - tag! :)

Apparently the third time's no charm - lackluster for spiderman 3 and this latest installment of pirates also. Sad to pay $12 and only be entertained by the kid with ants in his pants.
I love your drawing!
