Louise won free tickets to see Finding Nemo this morning at eleven. The theatre was alive with squirming kids. There was a small amount of screaming. The beginning of the film was quite harsh really. I saw the whole place erupting in tears in a sort of domino effect, but they kept it together mostly.

The film itself was typically likeable, with a good number of razor sharp one liners. The main characters were a bit of a trial at times, Ellen DeGeneres was a bit squawky and the other character wasn’t that loveable, but the large range of supplementary characters made up for that. The story was well written, moving along quite quickly, characters coming in for only a few scenes. It’s really nice to see a kid’s film where the plot is in no way predictable. Hey, and it’s always fun to guess the voices in big animated films. I enjoyed it a lot but it wasn’t quite as good as Monsters Inc.

After the film, I dragged Louise around Rough Trade and Koobla. Picked up the new Matmos album, The Civil War, the new LFO, Sheath, and some jungle plates. I had a little mix an hour or so ago and I’m really loving Drumsound and Simon Bassline Smith’s Junglist ATM. Will report on the electronica later.
