First off, even though this is adorably animated, this movie is full of adult themes and not recommended for kids. Second, this movie is full of adult themes, from alcoholism to atheism to mental illness to sexuality, all through the unblinking lens of an under-mentored 8 year old girl. And...
This was such a kickin’ good time in so many ways. An entire green village was available pre-show for us to explore. We got a nice little booklet explaining all the green steps taken by Jack on the tour. He donates 100% of profits to charities – YES 100%!! and he did the same on the...
Yeah, it’s a romantic comedy, but it has teeth. Lots of ‘em. And lots of kitchy nods to the great 50′s classics like The Seven Year Itch. Sleeper of the...
Jason Bateman stars, so I love it. But beyond that, Mike Judge has this great ability to create characters similar to people you know, at the edges, and blow them up, but just a little, maybe 10 or 20 percent. So they flavor the movie without sidetracking it. There are about a dozen good ones in...
Re-watched this old classic recently with boo, we were bustin’ a gut… it’s so hard to find stuff this brilliant any more… must have single-handedly made the word “nigger” laughable and irrelevant… big comic book larger-than-life laughs on a budget that was...
I need a louder stereo. I just threw out my beautiful ancient massive Bose speakers, from back when they made massive speakers, over 20 years ago, because they had literally disintegrated. This song demands a replacement. Not optional. This song must be...
![[9.0] Monsoon Wedding](http://thedigitalmachine.com/images/monsoon_wedding_1.jpg)
Monsoon Wedding has a dozen or more well-developed characters, all involved in the whirlwind of activity preparing for an arranged marriage. There are lots of great little subplots, bringing out the weaknesses and strenths of each of the characters. You’ll find something (or someone) to...
I didn’t think I could ever warm up to this kind of over-produced hard rock. Even if it is labelled punk rock. PUNK?? What the… cmon this is NOT PUNK. This is fast-paced arena rock. It has NOTHING TO DO WITH PUNK ROCK. Thin Lizzy was writing this stuff years before the Clash...
Installed a fence to split the pasture (so half can rest and grow back) – with lots of help from the girls (yay!), gathered up wood scattered across property, planted a huge maple, hung a couple bird houses (one on the back of the tractor barn), took down Christmas decorations, filled a big hole in the pasture, and cooled down playing fetch with the dogs. World’s best gym. :-)
Y’all make sure to get your exercise too. :-)
Last weekend: plowed a field, fenced the horse paddock, set up two gates, dug four hitching post holes. What a hard days’ work looks like…
And it’s a beauty… more pics forthcoming… but for now I’m busy…
We’ll still be in shock for a little while longer, but pretty soon y’all better come on down and see us, ya hear!
