It occurs to me that we're going to need some kids we can "borrow" for an afternoon, to explain why we're seeing a kid's movie.....

Anyone who knows any one of us will understand immediately when we say "because Jimmy Buffett's in it!'

I read the book yesterday (after it made the rounds of mi amigos keets

) I am really looking forward to the movie. All the keets will be good company.

One of them(who had the book) went to the movies and saw the trailer and now he's besides himself. Star Wars????????????

We don't need no stinkin' Star Wars!!!!!!

Let them read the book. I am amazed at how many kids (friends of mine kids) just love the book. All they can talk about is Mullet Fingers. If I have done one good thing in my life, it's getting these youngsters to read a book. And better yet talk about it when they're done.

Don't know if anyone has noticed this yet, but on the Hoot website - http://www.hootmovie.com - when you click on "STORY", it says the movie is produced by "Jimmy Buffet".

Now, I can see how non-fans and even casual fans can get his name wrong. But how on earth does the website for his OWN movie spell his name wrong? They spelled the author's name (which is surely more difficult than Jimmy's) correctly, for heaven's sake!
