Of course "10 Things I Hate About You" was filmed here, and so was "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle."

But now Tacoma gets another mention in a film ...

Skip ahead to about 1:15 for the good part.

(A version of this clip showed up on "The Daily Show" last night, including the Tacoma reference.)


Sooo, why is that bug headed to Tacoma?

To get you to promote the movie on your blog?

Who cares? It's a ladybug. Aren't they good luck? :)

Yes, I think Jerry Seinfeld added the word "Tacoma" to the film specifically so he'd get a mention on GritCity. He's a big fan.

these lame formula 3d movies are a blight to a whole generation of children.



what is the formula? Hollywood star voice over + easily animated objects (toys, bugs, cars, animal droppings) + lucrative fast food marketing alliances.




It is a sham! If you are an inhuman monster who hates your children, take them to see 3D cartoons!




why not feed your children's young minds with joy?



Take a hint from a chum who KNOWS, only show them films/cartoons at least 50 years old. you know the classics... before they were commercial laden brainwashing. You'll be doing a service to the future.

bitter much?

Hey, your friend Seinfeld also mentioned the word ‘dead’ - obviously drawing attention to Day of the Dead procession tonight - the timing chosen very carefully to coincide with our event. We will not fall for the trick, nope. He can’t get us to promote his flick on our site www.on6thave.com/day-of-dead

What NIN said. The only 3D cartoon I can think of that I like is the episode where Homer goes 3D.

And as someone at another blog responded when this movie was mentioned,

"I knew Lion King was a stolen idea, but now they’ve ripped off Maja the Bee! (aka Biene Maja, Pszczó?ka Maja, et al.)..."

c'mon, y'all know this is just part of a Toyota product placement package deal... ...routine stuff! ;-)

You want a good kids movie? I think The Point is the best. That film warped me permanently.

Oh, also the 6th Season of Scrubs has a mention of Tacoma. It's where all young, hot, unwed, expectant doctors go to practice.
