Do you have any idea how hypnotising it is though?

Surely it can't be any more hypnotising than yours, Jo?

I have plans for that avatar... *rubs hands and cackles* I do have to admit, its very hypnotic - I blame the person who introduced me to this FMA business  I lent my copy to my friend yesterday afternoon - she has watched 10 episodes already!

Did you ever watch W&G Jo? Folks - here is the new trailer  and if you don't laugh out loud at it you are made of stone  Whilst I was at the comic Con yesterday I picked up this - I've not seen anything like it before - it's a "make your own aardman bunny kit" We will definitely do so - I know Mark will be good at it as he has made figures for me before - so I shall get some brown FIMO (so we can bake it in the oven and it can be everlasting) and when he gets around to it I'll show it off here  Anyway here's one of my very few purchases from LFACC:      and the raw materials themselves  I don't know anything about this - the only reference I can find to it on the internet is a film company competition who had 5 of these kits to give away .... I am very pleased with it I have to say - I must dash out and buy some FIMO And to keep your tastebuds whet - here's a new trailer - with an American vocal track this time: http://www.apple.com/trailers/dreamworks/wallace_and_gromit/

I went to the movies yesterday to see Bewitched - see my review in this topic - and saw a movie poster up for Wallace & Gromit - Curse of the Wererabbit! It is going to be released here in October - oh boy!!!

Wow, I'd lost track of time and W&G is almost upon us - how totally exciting.
I was just watching the Wrong Trousers and Gromit stands outside the Bathroom looking annoyed whilst someone inside cleans their teeth (from the noise it can be nothing else) but Wallace walks past... what kind of bird has teeth to clean? None

Hee hee I'm sure they did it on purpose (the teeth cleaning) they like doing stuff like that don't they? Anyway we are going to require a full report on the film Jo... and asap.... I hope you have tickets booked? How many showings? 50?  It will take almost that many to see all the detail. They are also re-releasing the DVD of the previous adventures in October I'm going to hang back and see if it comes with a boxed set of the film later on because I already have the 3 adventures but I'd like to see the new bonus material at some point.

Is it a school holiday coming up there Jo? Disney releases in the UK wait til half term etc so that they can ensure all the children are available to see it and get it to the number one slot, however half term in the UK isn't til mid october... so that's why it's being released here then (even though this isn't Disney they are obviously operating on the same tactic). However I'm rather insulted that they think it's for kids... I may have been a kid when I fell in love with it - but it doesn't seem to me to have lost any of its charm for 25 year olds, and I know fans much older than me

Umm... to be honest, I don't know... school seems so distant now  I don't think so though, because usually school terms are roughly about the same length as university mid sessions, and the break for us is still a couple of weeks off. Whoever heard of something that is a kids only book/movie? Some jokes and references in these are things that only adults would understand... next they'll be trying to tell us that Harry Potter is a kids book... oh

 <-- FTY is still laughing 2 hours later I went and saw it tonight and it was fantastic! The animation was fantastic, the storyline very unique and classic Aardman. Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes were perfectly cast (contrast Ralph's character with Voldemort  ) Nick Park is on a winner with this one and I would be very surprised if it didn't get an Oscar nomination at the very least. As usual, the highlights for me were Gromit (how can they do so many expressions with just his eyebrows?), Wallace and his cheese obsession and his 'Assistance'  There were many tongue in cheek references that had me giggling, e.g. during the opening credits, note where Gromit graduated from  One of the (many) lines that had me howling and that won't spoil anything was: "Beware, the moon!" (look out for this one  ) For those who are yet to see it (well, that would be all of you  ), when you go, watch out for the Pansy spray!
