Just plain wrong


I have read the movie reviews but have to disagree with the masses on this one. Everyone is raving about the movie "Ratatouille". The critics are saying the animation is superb, the voices are wonderfully done and the plot is delightful. Wake up people. This is about a rat in the kitchen of a restaurant. Am I the only one that sees a problem here? This rodent came from the sewers below Paris and who knows what diseases it is carrying not to mention more bugs that one can imagine. Did everyone forget about the black plague that they say was carried by rats?


This is a Pixar film which is a division of Disney. I dare say that if Walt was alive today, he would agree with me. What started out as a cute little Mickey Mouse is now a disease carrying rat in a kitchen. What's next Pixar? Oh I know, how about a roach that wants to be a doctor so he lives in a hospital and crawls all over the medications and such. Yes that is hilarious and wholesome. Yea right. This is why I don't go to movies anymore.
You think this is all ridiculous? Just wait until you little one wants a rat for a pet. Have a nice day.

You are one of the funnest men that I read...whether serious or satire...you are funny!

By the way...I've been there done that. Years ago, my daughers had two white rats. Ashley Ben, and Cleopatra.

Keep me smiling, Greg, keep me smiling!!

I didn't like Ratatouille at all...
I took the chilis to see it and they loved it, but I just didn't find it appealing. I think Pixar could have done a lot better. The animation is well done, but the plot really bored me and there were not very many funny parts at all. I kept rewriting the script in my head as I was watching it and when I'm doing that in a movie instead of enjoying it, I don't consider it a good movie.

I like mice. The few rats I have seen were vicious little rascals. I kinda think rats are like everything else, being they are as clean as their environment.

My cats would love a pet rat.

Not fond of rats of any kind! And if I ever have children, they will never, ever own them as pets!!
BTW, I really like the pictures on the side of your blogsite with the palmetto tree. :)
QUESTION: Can a palmetto tree survive in the northern Midwest? Indoors or outdoors? I really want one!!!!

Most people do Queenie.

Thanks Wanda, I am glad I made you smile. There are too many pouting people these days.

Snow I usually wait until a movie comes out on video. When I go to a theater to watch one, all I can think about is how much I spent to see it.

Just me, my cats prefer birds over rats. I guess they are too hard to catch.

USA, I think they would have to be inside out west. Then it may not get enough sun. The tree on my blog is a banana tree and I know it will freeze. Ours are starting to dye back now and the bananas aren't ripe yet. :(

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The...

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
