I haven’t see _The Polar Express_, myself, but **kaylasmom** went to see it with Michaela when it came out. What took her out of the film was the voice of the Know-It-All kid who sounded like Mandark from _Dexter’s Laboratory_. If I did see it, I wonder if I might have the same response. ---

For me, it’s product placement. Funny thing is, i’m fucked either way. If they use a real product, i sit there thinking “Fucking product placement is ruining movies.” And if they use a fake product so they don’t need product placement, i sit there thinking, “Hey, that’s a fake product.” Either way, i’m sucked out of the experience momentarily. ---
