THE SECRET OF KELLS
RYAN: The Secret of Kells is that Oscar nominated movie in the animated category that everyone was like, “What?”
CAROLINE: Totally! No one ever heard of it cos it’s, like, an indie-foreign film.
RYAN: I don’t think it was actually foreign but it was “like” foreign.
CAROLINE: Exactly. And since I barely do animated films… what did you think of it?
RYAN: Yawn.
CAROLINE: Really? Why, boring?
RYAN: Pretty much. It felt like a history lesson even though it’s not a true story.
CAROLINE: The animation looks kinda cool though.
RYAN: Yeah it’s a pretty film but that’s not enough to hold your attention. I noticed several people sleeping in the screening I was at – and I thought, “Well I’m gonna watch. I’m not tired…” And then sure enough, about ten minutes later I was practically asleep too.
CAROLINE: [laughs’ Naptime. Lovely.
— BOTTOM LINE —
RYAN: It’s really just a waste of time. Only an hour and fifteen minutes but it felt like forever. How do you do that to a kids’ movie?
