it’s about the reunification of father and son
Strangely appropriate, isn’t it, if you take it seriously? family has been sold in exchange for the unfulfilling, unsatisfying experience of modern chic chicks who are so into ohemgee sushi. It is ridiculous.
Earliest lessons taught to me by healthcare professionals in terms of seeing tragedy day to day: “Guess you’ve got to laugh about it. Or else you’d cry.”
And that’s a difficult thing to learn to do, though, ray.
But something I’d advise everyone to do, for their own sanity. There’s only so much seriousness a human being can tolerate.

oh . . . i didnt see it thataway, as ironic . . . soitenly valid tho, nemo sliced n diced
it DID remind me of my san fran years in the early eighties, when the sushi fad hit, and the shleeple ah metrointellectuals flocked to sushi bars cause everyone else was
come to think, it WAS largely a chick fad
now if theyd advertised it as raw fish on plate, instead of the exotic sounding sushi, i dont think theyd have sold a dozen
never considered it an intentional slight, theres bigger fish to fry (oopz)
So, it’s in bad taste if eaten raw, but ok fried? LOL
It wasn’t taken as an intentional slight, ray. You were right, it probably wasn’t in the best taste.
It’s an odd perceptual issue. I only saw the movie once, at someone’s house while other things were going on, so I really didn’t key in to any “messages” it may have had. From what I saw of it, I wouldn’t have characterized it as “reunification of father and son”, but more about simply a father’s love.
I didn’t respond to your comment other than to note it because what you said did have a point and I didn’t feel any need or reason to “defend” doing it. I really intended it as simply a throwaway post to break up what had become a string of some pretty heavy issues with a note of irreverent levity.
I regard anything that comes out of Disney as a cartoon first and foremost. They are sort of “entertainment junk food” to me and I don’t see them as major morality plays. Other guys had already picked up on the irreverence by talking about having Bambi for dinner, and I remembered the old classic of Bambi meets Godzilla.
Challenging sacred cows is a good way to force people to reexamine their assumptions and biases. Real deer are not like Bambi, and Disney’s method of anthropomorphizing everything leads to a somewhat distorted perception of reality.
So going BANG! everytime you see a picture of Bambi, would be bad taste too?
Since the poor wittle waindweer was abandoned by it´s parents, I mean ?
Aww, come on…
I’ve got to admit that the movie was pretty touching to me. Even though I thought the daddy fish was portrayed too much like a neurotic Woody Allen type, I actually feel the same protective instincts toward my little boy.

He is resting in six pieces.
Nope, I’m still alive and kicking.
We are gathered here today to pay our last respects to Nemo…

I prefer spider rolls.

Can I get a RIHANNA thread from a writer please.
NICE WAY to step up NCFM.
Delicious! Needed more some wasabe.
Bambi tomorrow?
“Bambi tomorrow?”
His mother was kind of chewy, let’s hope it doesn’t run in the family.
Apply tenderizer.
Bad humor.
perhaps not the greatest choice for humor on your site, i finally saw this movie last year, it’s about the reunification of father and son
Point noted.
Damn! -Somebody kick me, please!
Never saw it… Think I will now, though.

Okay, if they´re playing the protective-proggramming like a fiddle, I am NOT
going to see it !
programming..oops.
Since you are a fan of Sci Fi, you definitely need to check out “A Boy and His Dog” by Harlan Ellison. Great black humor.
The movie with a young Don Johnson is pretty good, too.

Will do. Not a sci-fi fan as such. I Read everything I can get my sticky little hands on. Excepting telephonebooks and so on.
