I find the movie Annie very depressing. Ask me anything.

[Modem Butterfly]

Go on, ask.

1. How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man?

[Modem Butterfly]

3. 27

But they have to be actual roads, not lanes or avenues and certainly not streets.

[Love Bug]

2. It's a hard-knock life for us...

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. Why? Is it the sad little kids in the orphanage under the care of an

old drunk who works them to the bone?

[Modem Butterfly]

5. Yeah, that and the fact that Annie believes she still has parents...

...who just parked her at the orphanage but who still love her. And not only did her parents do that, but they actually died, too.

Yikes.

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. Yeah :^(.. But she does get Daddy Warbucks and Miss Grace

[Modem Butterfly]

7. A poor substitute at best

Her natural parents essentially sell her into slavery as a small child and then die before they can come back. Their sole legacy is a small half of a locket and her last name. She probably doesn't even know where she was born.

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. I never thought of her being sold into slavery, just that they couldn't

afford to keep her and thought she would be better off at the orphanage than starving with them. I suspect that happened more than once in real life and not just during the Great depression. :(

[Modem Butterfly]

15. She had to work all the time...

The conditions in the orphanage were appalling. And we really don't know why the parents sent her there, maybe they were just working out their opium addictions. But there's poor little Annie, always trusting they loved her and would come to get her any day...

[Tikki]

8. What 'rock' song will NEVER be used in a television commercial ?....

I mean, besides.....Nicky Hoeky......

[Modem Butterfly]

16. Anything by Dan Fogleberg

[KittyWampus]

9. when do you suppose the sun will come out?

[Modem Butterfly]

11. Tomorrow. Duh.

:evilgrin:

[Kraklen]

10. Scared the hell out of me.

Way up there on the drawbridge like that? Jesus Christ, she almost fell!

[Modem Butterfly]

14. No kidding. I understand they didn't use a stunt orphan, either.

[Felix Mala]

12. Stupid to change it from Christmas to 4th of July. Too bad they

had Miss Hannigan become of "good guy" in the end.
