Re: Some Glenn animations!
Soda, it just hit me what all of these animated avatars running in a string down the page reminds me of (and this may mean absolutely nothing to you, because I don't picture you in the demographic to hit these movies, but let me try it): They look like the paintings on the walls of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies :hilarious:, where the subjects are moving about within the frames...and can actually move to another painting if necessary!
Re: Some Glenn animations!
lol! I'm not a Harry Potter fan, but I have two friends who are absolutely nuts about those books. I've seen all the HP movies with them, so I know exactly what you're talking about!

You are so right!!!! I hadn't thought about that! (BTW---I am a HUGE HP fan thanks to my 18 year old son!)
Re: Some Glenn animations!
Why do you think I ended up reading (and loving) the books? I figured I'd better know all of the details of Hogwarts, given I probably was going to be immersed in them via both sons for at least 10 years or so! I absolutely love the books; the only thing is, I try to read them just before each movie comes out....so I am probably the only fan who has yet to actually find out who the half-blood prince is!! (I'm just about to find out, though, as I am about 1/3 of the way throught that volume.) It has been difficult keeping the secret from being spilled, but I've managed. Soda, the books are umpteen times better than the movies, I am sure your friends have told you. The books do help you fill in the info from the movies, that's for sure.
Re: Some Glenn animations!
EV-The half blood prince is... nah, wouldn't really do that. I don't know how you kept from reading all the books all at once. That's what I ended up doing. The whole family was coming out of the theater after seeing the last movie and I told Dillon to give me the next book because I needed to know what was going to happen. He refused to and said I had to start with book #1 and read them all. I agreed to and didn't stop for 2 months. I was very lucky because book #7 had just came out so I was able to get thru all of them without having to wait. I remember starting #7 and texting my son, while he was at school, and asking "is Professor Snape a good guy or a bad guy? I need to know." His reply... "KEEP READING MOM!"
Oops--guess this isn't the place for this discussion. Should of started this up in the thread What Are You Reading in Cheap Wine.
Maybe next time Soda is up here I will send her home with all the books as homework! :hilarious:
