"Hey guys, after watching this great animated movie, want to see one that is CRAP?"<BR/><BR/>WHO do they think the audience is? No adult will be able to sit through it without begging to be shown all 4 SAW movies instead, (With the Chimunks and the Alvin filmmakers as the victims) and no kids know who they are. They were an unfunny fad act 40 years ago!<BR/><BR/>I also sat through a MR. MAGORIUM trailor, and nothing could get me to watch any more of it. It looks just AWFUL! Dustin smirking in a silly hairstyle and acting cutesy, trying his best to bottom his performance in HOOK. Why isn't the Dahl estate suing? It's a full-out rip-off, with "Magic" toys instead of candy.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait for SWEENEY TODD. It's my favorite musical to begin with.<BR/><BR/>Charles, how could SGT. PEPPER"S movie have turned you on to The Beatles music? It's all murdered by the BEE-GEES and Peter Frampton, except when it's murdered by other "Artists". (Steve Martin as Maxwell Edison, and he isn't even a serieal killer anymore. The non-musical talents of Frankie Howerd, George Burns, and Donald Pleasance destroying songs.) What makes SGT. PEPPER such an amazing bad movie (And I saw it again for the first time in 28 years two weeks ago) is that is manages to be ghastly dspite having a GREAT song book.<BR/><BR/>I was lucky. When I was teenager, The Beatles music was being performed by The Beatles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-66078351564177923462007-08-23T15:31:00.000-07:002007-08-23T15:31:00.000-07:00Ehhhnn.

So the writer made up a stupid name just to get a rhyming title? Though I guess if there really were people with the last name Magorium, they probably would be more likely than the average person to start up an emporium of some kind.<BR/><BR/>I think Lecter became a cannibal only because his parents named him Hannibal.
