Really? I rented that movie this weekend, and thought I was so bad I refused to watch the whole thing. So boring! Seen this movie done way better so many times in the 80s.

My 12 year old son listed it as his all-time favorite in a second grade essay.

The footage may be at the official Anne Frank museum site.

It's breath taking to see her in live action.

It's a brief glimpse. The silent home movie footage is being taken by her neighbors where there's a wedding party going on. So, the footage is actually of the young couple.

Anne F. appears for a few seconds as a curious neighbor watching from her apt. upstairs. She looks to be about 11 or 12. Hilarious, she loses interest (?) and starts shouting up to the window above her, with her hands flying.

The camera moves off her.

Superbad was a disappointment. Almost agree with #4.

Or you can drop a deuce in your undergarments, stick them in the microwave for a minute, take them out, and inhale deeply.
