Quote of the Day

.
Loved this bit from the end of Roger Ebert's review of Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox (a film I still feel like curling up inside of even a week later):

"Children, especially, will find things they don't understand, and things that scare them. Excellent. A good story for children should suggest a hidden dimension, and that dimension of course is the lifetime still ahead of them. Six is a little early for a movie to suggest to kids that the case is closed. Oh, what if the kids start crying about words they don't know? -- Mommy, Mommy! What's creme brulee?" Show them, for goodness sake. They'll thank you for it."
