Wow. Toy Story 3 is the darkest G rated movie EVER. Oh, boy.
Andy is off to college, so the toys sneak into the sunnyside day care box. All but Woody have high expectations, until they find out the secret of the daycare. Woody runs away and tries too find Andy, bu winds up helping his friends back at the daycare. They down the trash disposal and are all preparing to die! I wouldn't watch this with really little kids because it is just so creepy!
There is this moment that I wonder about, though, where it completely reflects Darth Vader throwing Darth Sidious off of the walkway. A baby doll throws a teddy bear into a pit. Go figure.

Jeremy fink and the Meaning of Life
I have never been able to say this about a book before, but 'Jeremy fink and the Meaning of Life' by Wendy Mass changed the way I look at life. Here's a quick summary:
Jeremy Fink is different. He collects mutant candy, believes in time travel, and names his fish after animals other than fish (ex: Dog, Cat, ferret, Hamster). When his father was 13 he received a fortune that he would die when he was forty. Ever since then Mr.Fink was filling up a box that four keys can open with "The Meaning of Life". It turns out that the fortune teller was wrong, because Mr. Fink died when he was thirty-nine. The box says that Jeremy should open the box on his 13th birthday, and Jeremy would have done just that if it weren't for one problem. He doesn't have the keys. So Jeremy and his best friend Lizzy go on a wild roller coaster looking for the keys.
What I liked about this book was that everything that happened wasn't perfect. For example, the wolf says the same thing to all three little pigs each time. Don't you think the author could have spiced it up a bit by saying things like, "Pig. let me in!" or "I'll blow your house down if you don't let me in!". In 'jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life', they perform in a contest and get second place for a change. And the father died when he was thirty-nine, not forty, which would have been perfect.
Once Jeremy and Lizzy find out that they don't know where the keys are, they look all around the city for them. When that doesn't work, Jeremy starts asking various people he meets what they think the meaning of life is.
I have some questons. What do you think the meaning of life is? And if you made a box like Jeremy's father did, what would you put in it and who would you give it to?
