I haven't seen any of the movies and none of the clips and previews I've seen for them make me wanna. I half-watched the Academy Award show and it felt lame too--could be me. I dunno.

That's some mansion! Seems HUGE. Those big southern places on little city lots (even on multiple lots) always feels so out of balance to me. Clearly needs a loooong tree lined drive and to be surrounded by acres and acres. The crow's nest is nifty--can the water be seen from there?
