turq, forget Russell Brand! Having finally seen DMe2 yesterday, I'm still marveling at Steve Carell's voice for Gru. And admit that I like villain in 2 way better than Vector. Plus I noticed at least one cool allusion to another film: that scene towards the end when 2 characters in disguise are escorting another character into the fortress reminds me of a similar scene in Wizard of Oz. SPOILER ALERT: I even think that pre wedding musical scene with Minions is a cinematic allusion but don't recognize it myself.
Fortunately Van had alerted me to staying for the credits which he knows I usually wouldn't do. Of course parents with restless kids immediately got up to leave and then several paused when the saw the post film fun happening. The Minions remind me of R2D2 and the Ewoks of Endor though are much more mischievous. And their language! So creative. BTW, I definitely gotta get myself a papoy (-: ________________________________ From: turquoiseb <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, June 30, 2013 7:27 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Minions, minions, and more minions... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgDLryzDzYg Dr. Nefario is voiced by Russell Brand, BTW. :-)
