I was too, not a good choice for them.

It was very eerie, if I saw that I'd run away screaming not go in and start shopping!

Just got back from the movie, that was very creepy

The Music Queen

I kept having flashes of the Doctor Who episode "Rose". I half expected the mannequins to start attacking people.

LOL!! I saw COAS just after watching "The Girl In the Fireplace" Doctor Who ep. about sinister automatons attacking Versailles, and I had the same feeling. In fact, COAS would have been _vastly_ improved had Daleks shown up--and David Tennant's Doctor took over. ;)

I liked them too! They sord of remind me of some talking objects/ portraits from The Adventures of Amelie Poulain.

I HATED the mannequins. SO unnecessary. I maybe would have let it slide if it was just that one time near the beginning when she's going to buy the scarf (but I still would have hated it), but they were pretty much THROUGHOUT the film! My friend, who hasn't read the book, if they were a part of the book. Definitely, definitely not. How stupid. I mean, was it supposed to be funny? Because it wasn't anything but ridiculous. And, yes, creepy.

reply

Not ultra creepy to me. I don't mind an odd touch now and then.

reply

I wasn't creeped out, but I agree with MiNKiNNEY that it was unnecessary.

I wasnt creeped out at all. They were a fantastic tool used to convey Bekky's addiction.

I found them a little creepy.

What about that time I found you naked with that bowl of Jell-O?

Why does it matter? The whole movie was a load of crap!!

I see a possible movie spin-off for those mannequins. They can go around killing everyone who doesn't give in and buy something.
