    Let me pitch it to you guys now: A movie where The Green Goobler (original character) attempts to find and eat Timothy Green (from The Odd Life of Timothy Green). To me this feels like betting on red and black.

    I just learned that very bad The Odd Life of Timothy Green movie was written by one of Frank Zappa’s children. I’m going to need a minute.

    THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN: It’s funny to think that Doug Walker’s anger at this movie will probably be this movie’s legacy than anything it actually does within.

    The only one I don't have access to is The Odd Life of Timothy Green (it's only on Disney+). I have the others pulled up in my browser so I can remember to watch them 😁 I Am Mother sounds like The Wild Robot a bit.

    Lovely. 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green' is a well intentioned - if, indeed, odd - 2012 film from Disney. CJ Adams gives a respectable and sweet performance as Timothy, while Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton bring the heart in their roles as Cindy and James. The other characters are absolutely terrible, I will say that - especially Rosemarie DeWitt's Brenda. What it severely lacks in a supporting cast, it makes up for with its hearty narrative and nicely paced story. I don't think it's perfect…
