so, it's Friday night and it's the 3yo's turn to figure out what she wants us to do for family night...and she wants to go buy a movie. Here is word for word the plot that she wrote down for me.... I am at a loss as to what movie this is (if it's really a movie at all)

"there is a ladi in a pink dress on a trane and its going down the tracks and this boy said to stop it and this other boy did stop it by pulling on the thing and they are bad"

(pardon the misspellings I typed it word for word and she is only 3 almost 4)

anyone know what this is? it's entirely possible that she is making it up, but she really thinks it's a movie.

help?

help?
Wikipedia has a section devoted to rail transport in fiction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_in_fiction); one such entry being a film called Runaway Train (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaway_Train_%28movie%29) which would seem to suit that description. However, your guess is as good as mine. 0_o

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes?

apparently (after further prodding) she says the woman was not in a pink dress but she thought she should have been, and when she says "on the train" what she means is she is on the roof of the train running from someone, she is unsure if it's a subway or a train, but she remembers guns in the movie......that really doesn't help me much, there are guns in a lot of movies. :confused: I really don't know what she is talking about, and I am starting to suspect she really doesn't know either.

Your kids are probably too young for Silver Streak (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075223/)

is the film animated?

Anastasia?

Not a movie.

okay, guys, sorry. It's apparently 3 movies, she wants me to buy a movie that is Sleeping Beauty, Mission Impossible, and The Lady Vanishes, mixed. :headbang: She has settled for The Lady Vanishes since that's really got most of what she was talking about....and was in fact the movie she originally wanted, she just thought it would be cool if the other stuff was in it too. :rolleyes:

Now, I go to hunt it down, I doubt I find it tonight though.


Thanks anyway. ;)

Hmmm . . . if she doesn't mind it starring Sonic the Hedgehog, maybe my niece can "mash-up" something :p

ok, that probably would make an interesting movie...

I'm sorry, but that is so cute. I mean really.

Your daughter and my friends daughter are going to plot to takeover the world.

you think? :p she said to me just now "if you don't want to buy the movie, because ebay is spensive (I think she means expensive) you can buy me a movie camera and I can just make it, I will make you some too... can I use your computer?"

:eek:

I think I created a monster.

Just dont let her get close to porn.

Anyway, yes, the description could be something between Indiana Jones, Mission Impossible and Casino Royale.

You say your kid is three? That's an unusually articulate three year old, there. Aren't kids fun?

Redwulf (who is too damn lazy to log in and write his own damn comments) says to encourage this, she might be the next great director... Or a super villain...

This is Smunkee's kids. I fully expect a well researched thesis paper from her oldest in a couple of years. :cool:
