finding nemo stuff

[cimorene]

1. author sues disney over finding nemo. the wild thing is that my baby cousin perrin has the book (in english, not french, sadly) and jenny and i independently noticed the likeness. there are some similarities in story line (i.e., the things which happen to nemo--caught by diver. put in tank.) and even some similar images (swimming right in front of the goggles--almost spot on). so, like, i'm inclined to think he has a case. but then i really liked the movie, and most of the fabulous qualities of it weren't the like bits.

2. i just spent approx. an hour trying to figure out the names of the little fish, octopus, and seahorse (tad, pearl and sheldon). and i ran out to first movie gallery (they didn't have it) and then blockbuster to buy the dvd. (it cost fuckin' $22!)

3. i started the nemo/gill slash. but i haven't quite finished the first scene.

Caught by diver and put in tank doesn't exactly qualify as unique, though, since that's the real life source of most saltwater aquarium fish and thus and obvious source of storyline.

indeed. as i mentioned, the images are quite similar, and the being-caught one there is only the most strikingly so.
