Coraline

I went to see some Coraline movie in 3D at a place far away because all the movies here are too old to be able to play 3D movies. You get to wear silly glasses and get a headache, it's great. Like being drunk without the benefit of feeling like the most witty person alive. While there I found everyone's favorite decapodian in bobble-head form.



I don't really know why I have to buy stuff this. It must be some kind of deep-seeded emotional and psychological problem that manifests itself through the purchase of plastic crap based on cartoons and star wars. Plus the packet looks pretty cool, retro-futurism type stuff. The sides of the box tell us that it is "Amazingly life-like for a chunk of plastic" and that "the brain slug who controls you says to collect them all". Which of course doesn't make sense as the brainslugs in the show never actually talked to the person they controlled.



"We favor unusually large subsidies to the brain slug planet" The others seem to be Leela, Fry and Bender. At the places I looked there was no bender and the other two did not look so good. Hence the buying of only Zoidberg.


Can you even read the back? Maybe if your eyes are better than mine. It's not very funny so I wouldn't bother. Here he is out of his shell, but still in his shell (ha!).


He looks kind of cross eyed and wonky so I'm going to keep him in his box. What I really like about him is that he reminds me of my favourite Futurama episode "The Farnsworth Parabox" which includes, amongst other things a breif foray into a parrel world populated by bobble-headed poeple.

4.5 stars! You'd have got 5 if you mentioned the awesome hay smelling car ride.
