Kids do tend to change what, when, and how you watch TV. Though some of it is for the better. I find that I am far more entertained watching a movie with my son than I was before he came along. I don't tend to judge movies as critically as much and simply have a toggle...enjoy/don't enjoy. It has actually made the process of watching more enjoyable. You are forced to at first because Kids TV/Movies for the younger ages aren't great so you can either walk away or suffer through it to be with your kids. I chose to suffer through and learned to enjoy it by proxy. When he smiles or laughs I feel the joy of knowing that I supplied that opportunity and chose to be there when it happened.

I hope you get as much enjoyment in re-watching movies with yours as I have. I usually don't re-watch a lot of movies as I like something new but he gives me a reason to re-watch.
Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those.

Re: Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?
I think what you're describing will eventually happen to me. Right now I'm pretty critical of what I watch (even when I enjoy it). I think a lot of kids' shows that target the toddler range are much better than the kids' shows that targeted toddlers in days past. I'll take Octonauts (or even Daniel Tiger) over Barney any day of the week.

Oh yeah..Octonauts was fun. My son loved it. Fortunately he liked Barney for less than a month before he got over that. Phineas and Ferb is another family favorite even today. Many levels of humor the whole family enjoys.

Re: Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?
japes, have you ever watched Ronin Warriors?

Very cool team of young samurai with super powered suits of armor. One of the main side characters is a young boy.

It's actually a big enough phenomenon to have a trope page on the tv tropes website (though that place will try to distort anything with even the faintest resemblance to one of their tropes until it fits their designs, so it's probably not as common as that place would have you believe).

Personally, I've always assumed that Japan's particular predilection for teams of 5 owes at least a little to their word for 'five' being pronounced/translated as 'go' like in 'go team!'. There seems to be plenty of love for puns and wordplay there, plus an interest in English as a 'decorative language' of sorts; wouldn't surprise me if having 5 peeps on a team just makes things seem more 'actiony' to your average Japanese viewer.

Thanks SG. Very informative. Did not even think about that.

Re: Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?
Well Voltron had one driver for each limb plus the head, so 5 was the number. I suppose they could have had the head and body two separate ones for a 6 person team. We have 5 fingers on each hand though and thus learn to count by numbers of 5 from an early age, so across all cultures the number 5 tends to pop up as significant or familiar. It also leads to the idea of 5 fingers forming a fist with which to strike out, which translates into 5 people forming a special ops strike team becoming a literary phenomenon.

Re: Movies: What did You Watch Last Night?
Cool.

So the new Pokemon is Pokemon 5.

Check out Ronin Warriors.

My favorite characters are the Ryu's tiger named White Blaze(do not mess with White Blaze) and one of the bad guys named Anubis.

It starts off strong and slows a bit as it goes into the individual characters including the bad guys. Samurai and super powered armor with a nice mix of mysticism.

Lots of lessons on friendship, teamwork, not giving up ect.

Which make me wonder why we don't have a base 6 standard system. Then we could count to 35 on our fingers (technically 55 in base 6). One hand for the ones and the second hand for the "10's"

Adam Nimoy's documentary For The Love of Spock (On Demand) was touching and informative. I smiled a lot. Thanks, Adam.

Split Second 1992

Great Rutger Hauer flick set in 2008 when the the icecaps have melted from global warming. A bit buddy cop, a bit Alien, a bit Blade Runner atmosphere(no robots) in a cult-y style. Also stars Kim Cattrall and a cameo by Michael J. Pollard.
