My son has adopted a Jason Schwartzman persona since watching The Fantastic Mr. Fox
It's been going on for a month now- it's very cute and hilarious, if a tad disturbing.
He is really really good at doing the exact same voice- he even says to people now- "You know why I can fit through there? BECAUSE I'M LITTLE." "I don't have a bandit hat so I modified this tube sock." (You look good) "Yeah, yeah, I know." He IS little! He's 4, dammit! I have a mini-Pookie/Jason Schwartzman now! Aaahhh! He has the same expressions as the animated fox son when he says things in that voice too. My kid blows my mind. Just had to share.

that's cool as hell.
2. jason schwartzman can follow me home any day of the damn week
3. my kid saw this and got all gaga that another roald dahl book is a movie
4. i'm going to use your post to bitch a little about celebrity voices in animated movies. hate it. hate it! it's so distracting! god, throughout that trailer i heard george clooney's voice and kept thinking of burn after reading, and that dildo machine he built in it. and it's so, i don't know, vain, hollywood, so... something. i mean, you're going to see an animated movie, you're suspending disbelief enough without these super-recognizable voices that add nothing to the character. you spend the evening thinking about who got what role and why and all that inside baseball shit that i'd prefer have nothing to do with the movies i like.
but jason schwartzman kicks ass and i love the delivery of that "i'm little" line.
my kid used to do that, imitate movies, practicing the affect and getting it disturbingly right. you may have a little theater fag on your hands there. i know i do. i get reenactments of kids in teh hall sketches in my home on a daily basis. along with dialog from home movies, monty python, and, no i am not making this up.... FAWLTY TOWERS. she's ELEVEN. what teh hell does she see in that? don't know. but i get to hear it daily.
"oh you're speaking GERMAN, i thought there was something terribly WRONG with you!"
...and, seriously, where do such little guys get their comedic timing from? you'd think it would be - i dunno - a developmental thing that comes with (a much riper) age.
too cute.
can you get it on video?
or wait - you prolly don't wanna pimp yer kid out in cyberspace...right.

And I feel kinda bad about it.....in an earlier post I embedded a youtube video of him covering The Jazz Guy's cover of the Beyonce Song "All The Single Ladies" but someone gave it one star, which made me mad, then I got mad at myself for putting him out into cyberspace, then I got mad at the creeps in the world who make me fear sharing anything because sharing a little is one of the joys of the internet and he wanted to share his rendition as well, even though he's 4 and doesn't really understand how freaking weird the world can get. I'm prolly going to make it private in the next day or two. I had a facebook stalker- one of the reasons I stopped using it. I get so angry about wanting to share but not being able to share. Then I feel paranoid. Then I say fuck it. And the cycle continues. As it stands, it's possible (though not probable) that my estranged family or even my ex are spying on my hipmama, etc. RIGHT NOW..... My aunt read things on my facebook- like me lamenting that I wasn't in California- and went and told my family that I was planning to move there- crap like that. Hipmama is about the only thing I can stand right now, who knows how long I'll have this forum as place of anonymous sanctuary. I really should take down my son's video.....I went through my hipmama when I joined back up and took out almost all photos and posts which might make this a non-anonymous place for me. Then I went and effing posted a video of my kid, because he cracks me up. GRRR.
I'll delete it soon if not later today.
