The Wu Xi Finger Hold!!!

I saw Kung Fu Panda last night...amazing.

Yes, you probably have to enjoy Jack Black at his silliest, and sweetest, but still...honestly...such a funny, cute movie.

I hate most of the newer kid's movies (overmarketed, badly drawn, badly written, watered down stories, overly concerned with celebrity voice talent). But with the small aside that Angelina Jolie's voice distracted me, because it was her, and that there's a little pause in the middle with the story where I kind of thought they shouldn't have skipped ahead so fast, the movie was adorable. And the villain is possible the most badass villain in a kid's cartoon ever (excluding anime, which isn't really for kids most of the time anyway). And *his* voice...Ian McShane. I can't escape the hot. But their solution to having such a scary villain in a story for children was to have him fight Jack Black--brilliant.

Heeee!

I am currently writing a screenplay (for what? Dunno. To get it out of my head. One of the 4 main characters is based off Jack Black (and also my friend KT). He is the snarky, lazy, outcast asshole in the beginning, but in the end, he is the one that pulls everyone together. The whole idea came to me in the car listening to a certain song. I got a scene from that and the rest of the plot just spread from there.

The kids saw it with my sister and her son, but I was still dealing with the computer from hell, so I had to miss it.

He was a tubby little bundle of awesome. And his final battle with Ian McShane's snow leopard character was perfect.

Though Ian McShane came close to stealing the movie.
