The details you catch! The format you've got here looks to be a fun way to watch the movie too.
Ooh! What a fun idea.
It makes me want to watch the movie again. Maybe I can find another "Quakiutl (Kwah-kee-ootl)" to watch with! ;-)
I added the pie fight - it's kind of small, but if you right click on the screen, it will give you an option to view on YouTube. MUCH easier to see and enjoy. :)
That's a very short plot summary for a 3 hour movie with an intermission in the middle.
