[ pass the popcorn... ]

sooooooo... my husband, mike, & i decided to take our boys to the cinema between christmas & new year. mike read reviews. gulliver travels, we decided, would be a bit old for them, sadly, as it's starring jack black ~ who is on my top 25 people that i wouldn't mind getting stuck in a lift (elevator) with!!!


to tell you the truth there wasn't a lot to choose from... we went for 'tangled', a disney adaptation of rapunzel. of course lets see it in 3d, 2 adults, one 3 year old & a 5 year old please ~ that will be $54. sorry i thought you said $54! oh you did!!! do i sound like a really old person complaining about cinema prices??


so we settle in to watch & i have to say i really enjoyed it, i even shed a tear behind my 3d glasses! basically the queen is going to have a baby (rapunzel) but is very sick & needs the power of a golden flower to survive. this crazy lady has been hiding the flower because she's using it to keep her young. but it gets found, cures the queen & the flower's power is now in rapunzel's hair.


the crazy lady tries to cut some of rapunzel hair but when cut it dies & won't grow anymore... so she kidnaps the baby, locks her in a tower & uses her hair to stay young blah blah blah.


in the end rapunzel has fallen in love with a guy who got in the tower, the crazy lady stabs him & he's going to die... rapunzel promises that if she can heal him (her hair heals too) she'll let her stay young & remain her prisoner forever...


but just before rapunzel gets to do this, the guy cuts off her hair, so there's no power left...


the reason i'm telling you all this is because mike and i spent a long time after the movie 'discussing' this (& we still don't see eye to eye on it!!!)


i said it's a shame he cut off her hair before she healed him.


mike thinks that that wouldn't be right because she had made a promise to the crazy lady....


yes but that promise is to someone who had her locked up in a tower for 18 years!!! & once her hair was gone the old lady wouldn't need her anymore.


i can't believe how long we discussed this for!! how we are both adamant that we're right & that i'm now blogging about it!!! not to mention the reckless way he cut her hair (it won't grow anymore) ~ so she's stuck with that 'do' forever...
