Subject: Re: Chicken Runy
There was an interesting commentary on NPR yesterday about the irony of
a fast food chain with chicken meals on its menu marketing "Chicken Run"
merchandise since this movie is about a bunch of chickens trying to
escape this very fate.
If it's anything like the Wallace and Grommet flicks, it otta be good.
