And dammit, the minions are really funny. <br /><br />@sio--I think it's possible that my entertainment was enhanced by my daughter's enjoyment, but maybe not. These are clever films, and smart enough to include jokes for the adults that aren't specifically "adult" jokes, if you know what I mean.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-33746517840528518682013-07-07T21:15:45.269-05:002013-07-07T21:15:45.269-05:00So I am currently up to my eyeballs in Tour de Fra...So I am currently up to my eyeballs in Tour de France coverage on NBCSN. The annoying thing about such great TdF coverage is that there are only about a dozen commercials that run on endless repeat for the hours of broadcasting time. Somehow, Despicable Me 2 became one of the dozen ads that has been relentlessly assaulting my senses in the last week. <br /><br />It did the miraculous, however - instead of hating its ads the twentieth time I sat through them, I still continually find the ads amusing.<br /><br />I haven't seen the first one, but I think I would enjoy it. I think I would enjoy the second one. The ads are cute and the minions make me laugh. Nice to hear that you enjoyed your time with it.siochembiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487373396181856763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-69487590291984951932013-07-07T20:51:47.511-05:002013-07-07T20:51:47.511-05:00I liked it too, for many of the same reasons.

The discussion over at the AVCLUB was brutal towards the Minions (apparently being an Internet movie hipster inoculates you from their charms) but I love those little yellow guys. I find them clever and funny and that's enough for me.<br /><br />You do know that they are making a Minion Movie, don't you? So you may get the chance after all.<br />Ipecachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157560182505626755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-90381703780193121402013-07-07T20:51:41.234-05:002013-07-07T20:51:41.234-05:00They're fun.
