I will be extremly impressed if someone has seen this film...

The song seems a bizarre choice for a film of this nature. Sounds like an hilarious idea though!

Er, I saw the remake of Willard with Crispy Glover, (Ben is the sequel to Willard)

Haha why the hell did you watch that?

In fact, no need to answer.

I wanna see BEN.

Ben is one of my favourite Jackson songs. It's definitely in the top ten. I've never seen the movie though. It's very rare to even find a copy of it in stores. But I think that ballad-type of song is a great choice for a film like Ben. A love song to a killer rat, I think it would make the movie all the more scary.

I think you're probably right.

Probably.

I have seen it. Does that mean I can now be crowned King Wigglepig?

Yes!...

(if I knew how).

So, how was it?

Subject: Re: Ben Sat Jul 11, 2009 10:42 pm

To be honest I don't remember that much about it - a kid, some rats, weird telepathic bits and a general sense of grimness. All topped off by a love song to a rat.

The song was top-40 for quite awhile. I was too cash-strapped to see the movie at the time.

Is it Mikael's most heart-wrenching ballad? Yes. Yes it is.
