OK. I just saw this movie...and I say   >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Warning!  The following commentary will ruin the end of the movie.  Don't read it if you plan to see the movie!   ;)

So, this is just my opinion....

For the first half, I thought..."Hmm, this movie is great.  Kinda stupid, but it HAD to have been made by a bunch of vegan hippies."   ;)  This bee like falls in love with the human who saved him from getting smushed (and he can talk to her).  So when he sees all the honey in the grocery store, then later the "honey farm" where they smoke the bees and stuff, she helps him build a case against the honey industry.  After he wins the case, the bees get all their honey back (yay! right?)  Ok.  No.  So then the bees stop working b/c they have so much honey and all the flowers die.  Of course they eventually got things back to "normal," but I just didn't like it.  It felt propaganda-ish to me.  Like...if we close all the factory bee farms, all the flowers and produce will die...they never talked about the natural process of bees...you know, the one where the bees pollenate the flowers and make honey all by themselves without the assistance of beekeepers smoking them out????  The message was clear to me.  If people stop buying honey, all the flowers will die. 

Now, I'm a bit hypocritical.  I still occasionally eat honey (only from organic farms...if that makes me any less evil... :-[) but it just pisses me off when I see something that is so obviously propogating misinformation.   >:(

Oh, and at the end..they had a cow in the bee office (he's an attorney now) seeing if he could sue the diary industry.  They made it a big stupid joke.   >:( >:( >:(

Ok.  My rant for now. 

At the risk of being obvious, the title refers to the old B-movies, you know, those horror movies that are so bad they're good, and stuff like that. I particularly like "On Dangerous Ground" with James Mason. TALK about a low point in the man's career...but the script is unintentionally hysterical.  In one scene the "gangster's moll" spits the following "dialogue" at Mason who plays the bad-cop-turned-good, in a very machinegun, too-solemn way:

"You're real. cute. Anyone ever tell you you're real. cute? Johnny was real cute, too. That was his problem."  And, yes, she meant good-looking, not cute as in "clever, or think you're clever."

OK, aging independent cinema buff retires into her burrow to avoid being pelted with overripe organic comestibles... ;D

From a parent of a vegan's point of view, I LOVE these movies because my son and I can relate and discuss things during/afterwards. It does kill me how most kids and parents dont really get the message and eat hotdogs while watching Babe. or fishsticks while watching Nemo.

Not related to Bee Movie, but:  Monday night was the Harvest Festival (or whatever, because we can't say Thanksgiving) at my daughter's school.  So the kids sang a few songs.  Okay, fine.  The last song they sang was from the turkey's point of view!!!  I can't remember the words, but it just struck me how I was the only person there to look horrified at the premise of a song about how a turkey doesn't like Thanksgiving Day.  And having kids sing it!!  Really, it wasn't a big thing, but... Well, I guess what bothered me sooo much about it was that this song was from the turkey's perspective, and yet it was ALL JUST A JOKE to everyone, you know?  And... I don't know... the whole thing just pissed me off.  Now where's that vegan island that was mentioned in another thread?

I don't know... something about "gobble gobble".  To be honest, I was too shocked by the whole thing to pay much attention to the words.  I'll ask my daughter when I pick her up if she can tell them to me.  Maybe it'll get some of the kids thinking, but given my location... I doubt it.  For example:  one of the radio stations here, along with some local businesses, hold an annual "Win a Remodel of your Home" contest.  People send in their sob stories, and the biggest whiner wins a renovation.  So, last year... wanna guess who the winner was?  It was some @$$hole that got paralyzed after he fell off a f**k**g tree stand while out deer hunting.  Okay, sorry you're disabled.  But... I don't know.  Just seemed like they could have found somebody that wasn't out killing animals when things went wrong for them.

I realize that has nothing to do with the kids and their families at my daughter's school.  But it's a pretty good example of the mentality around here.

I was going to post about this....isn't Jerry Seinfeld a vegetarian? And why does this movie have its head up McDonald's Ass if so? Especially since I heard an NPR interview with him where he said he didn't care about making money. I guess he probably has no control of the marketing, but WTF? I like the guy but that jus seems so hypocritical.

Ugh. No kidding... I just "LOL"d. This movie totally DOES have its head up McDonald's ass! Also, I think "Seinfeld" is funny & all, but it he didn't care about money, I doubt he would have demanded $1 million per episode way back when... I mean, if you can get it, cool (I guess), and even better if you'll do good things with it. But personally, I think this "Bee Movie" just reeks of washed-up stars needing a paycheck... :-\ ;D

And I was just going to say that I don't think Jerry is a vegetarian, BUT then I Googled it to be sure & this is what I found:
"Jerry Seinfeld , comedian, an outspoken vegetarian who won't let people eat meat in front of him."

Hmmm... That's strange because his wife just came out with a "healthy" cookbook, with tips on how to sneak nutritious food into your children's meals without them knowing. ::)

Recipes featured include:
-Italian turkey meatloaf
-Chicken nuggets
-Chicken & cheese quesadillas

Interesting... I wonder if Jerry eats alone in the garage, then? ???

Wow I didnt know he was a vegetarian!  Thats great, I've always totally liked him too...  Its strange how that works out, its happened with a lot of celebrities I like.

I think he had to marry an non-veg*n because all the female veg*ns had already married off to omnis.  ::)  Damn you girls!

Tkitty, I teach elementary school music, and I know the song you are talking about.  Last year during a class close to Thanksgiving, I was playing all the Thanksgiving themed songs I had from this book (without listening to them first).  I didn't like that one at all either.  Of course, the kids loved it.
