ratatouille

i'm plodding along at the top 250 list, finally got ratatouille from the library. it premiered july last year as #49 and has slowly sunken down #105 where it is now.

what a freakin' disappointing movie. so if "anyone can cook," why can't linguini?! i mean, give the kid a cooking scene where he invents a way to fry an egg that everyone loves -- but that's all he can do. that would at least close up that glaring plot inconsistency.

but even with that plugged up it would still be a disappointing movie. ie. if he's so good on roller skates why does he bike? there no reason for the father to go back to the son except to force the plot along. oye.

haven't felt this bad about at top 250 movie since wallace and gromit: curse of the wererabbit. at least that was only skimming the 200s during it's time in the light. wererabbit took a whole year to fall off the list.

i'm patiently awaiting for this to fall off the list. that being said i still believe in the sanity list.

taking on 240s straddlers this week: la strada; shaun of the dead; and les quatre cents coups.
