Early reports indicate that these questions may produce a mood that is sub-optimal for the experience of the film, so caveat lector: I make no guarantees, offer no refunds, and if you don’t have your ticket, you can’t get your laundry.

I will say that I quite like these questions too:

You’re quite welcome–I’ve folded the tale into bedtime stories for some of my cousins, and I’m glad to know I’m not the only one keeping it in circulation!

Thanks for the kind words, and I’m glad you found the questions useful!

I formatted the questionnaire onto a half-sheet to pass out at the Grand Lake Theater and the SF Metreon on opening night–I’ll forward it to you if I can turn up the file.

Good luck with the class!

Just did a google search because I had part of this story stuck in my head. I’ve watched “Dogs In Space” so many times, but it has literally been years since I’ve watched it.

Last night, I was telling my 3 year old son a bedtime story about dragons, at his request, and I diverged from his normal story to tell him the dragon had very bad indigestion and needed some milk of magnesia. I couldn’t help it, it just sort of organically happened. Anyways, I’m glad you posted the whole story.
