You need to respect your elders. <<I'm offended.>> I'm an angry white man. You want a cookie? <<I think I can only be consoled by Wishes, a Dole Whip, and a ride in a EVC.>> I think you can do 2 out 3 this weekend.

As for the movie, it has Emma Wattsion in it, of course it looks incredible! Haha

There are folks here that can give her my email (even if it's my 'playmail'), but it must be off here in private. I used to regularly get hatemail/private messages from fanbois, Disney employees and just plain crazies. Don't want to repeat that. But plenty of LPers know how to contact me and are free to pass it on to her (or you). <<Lots of LPers do this! It's called axe -murdering! Spirit hasn't killed DWB, -em or as far as I know, anyone else.>> Never killed a single spirit. Yet. I even saved a turtle last week. But, to be fair, I do have a bucket list that's almost as long as a typical wait for Test Track. (that's bucket as in people I'd like to see dead, just not at my hands) <<As for bobbelee9, she goes to church! WATCH OUT! she'll whip you with her Rosary Beads, unless you like that sort of thing! Have fun>> Some of my favorite spirits go to church. I still love them. Now, those who go and believe every word their preacher tells them and every word in the 'good book' literally ... those people do SCARE me.

But no, I don't watch them ... once in a while I'll see Beck replayed at 2 a.m. and think how scary it is that he's living the American Dream, and then I laugh so I don't cry!

My Publix cookies are stale, although I have many varieties of ice cream ...

It shouldn't be hard to figure what comes before the @. >> I think I can figure that out ... you'll have mail tonight!

Have seen John numerous times at the Hollywood Bowl and they were all spectacular nights.

The music is going to be dreadfully boring, like in HBP!? /disapointed

Originally Posted By HokieSkipper *Rollseyes* No, it hasn't sucked. Other than HBP which was an aberration for the series, they've constantly been some of the best scored movies each year.

It's pretty, but it lacks that umph. There's no emotion.

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>>It has the umph when it needs the umph. I don't know what you're looking for, haha.<<< Rule of thumb...If I can't hum it the next day, it's not good. Something my old band director/composing teacher taught me...the man was a total @$$hole, but he knew his stuff, and knew what worked. The only thing that I can honestly remember, musically, from the newer scores is the theme used for the Dumbledor's Army scene. The rest? Forgettable. Williams, however, I have those songs stuck in my head. Should probably download them.
