Charlotte's Web - Cry me a River I just watched Charlotte's Web over the weekend with my sister and Nephews.
Although it's no masterpiece, and probably will be dismissed as tear-jerk fodder, I found it to be not only charming, but wildly funny. The dialog between the two crows in the movie had me rolling  , and the British "sheep" were almost as funny.
Example of the dialogue between the crows: [speaking about a scarecrow who they think is real] Crow 1: He hasn't moved in two days! Crow 2: He's a freak of nature! Crow 1: creepy!
And when Charlotte started to die, I found myself fighting back tears 
Not since dumbo or Forest Gump have I fought back tears
It was an Entertaining Flick. 
Maybe I enjoyed it so much because I was expecting so little.

just teasing, LOL . There was a cartoon for Charlotte's Web from the 80's that used to have me in tears as well. It's a great story. | |

I played a part in a musical adaptation of the novel for the stage.
I'm not saying which part. |

I'm not saying which part. Was it the part with the two drunk goth girls who snuck away from the statefair and danced naked in the woods to NIN? | |

/ [Edited 12/18/06 3:51am] This sounds good...at least better than the Chuck Norris version...Lets just say it's slightly different...replace the animals with the viet cong and bad acting and lots of killing...Damn now that I think about it was that Charlotte's web or was that Braddock missing in action 2?  clever clever quotation - attention getting quote - sad yet witty remark - look at me! Im deep quote- song lyric about my ex cause that bitch stole my mp3 player! - line from movie I liked - Prince lyric - not very clever sig mocking other sigs | |

i used to watch the cartoon version when i was little and it would make me cry at the end.
I've seen the previews for this one and charlotte just looks too much like a real spider and that scares me. the cartoon spider was nice and fake looking and i could handle it. I don't think i'll be able to handle the new one.  | |

I don't think i'll be able to handle the new one. The spider is very real looking, but Julia Robert's voice helps soften the blow, and the other animals who are repulsed by her turns into a sort of joke that helps soften the blow too. But if you are really really creeped out by spiders, Charlotte may be too real looking to handle. | |

It's gotten better as I've gotten older but whenever the commercials come on for the movie, I have to change the channel. 
maybe i'll be able to handle it in another ten years or so. | |

I refused to read the book as a kid because I knew that she died at the end. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |
