FREE AND UNFETTERED
« on: December 10, 2005, 12:11:26 AM »

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were free and yes, unfettered, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're neither free or unfettered.  Damn them, damn them all to hell.

Yesterday, der Grampa and I took the grandlads to see The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.  Long title for a good film.  The lads both enjoyed it.  So did der Grampa.  So did I.  William did have some problems at the start, as the children in the film were being sent to the countryside, which caused him some separation anxiety, but other than that they both rapidly were caught up in the film, Alex literally at the edge of his seat at times.

After, we met up with both Mommy and Daddy at a nearby restaurant.  William was definately getting tired (he's been on meds for a fever he was running, which can do that), and Alex still has real issues with food not being exactly what he thinks it should be (any variation and it's not good food).  But the parents were well-behaved at least, for once.

And I'm glad we had a very patient waitress, a necessity on nights like this.

DR JRand - sorry your sister is sick.  DH Richard, DS Rob, and I will be there sometime this afternoon.  We do want to get into downtown before the museum closes at 5, to pick up our exhibit tix for tomorrow.

Sorry to be E and T yesterday. I had some briefs due (they don't let me file boxers in court) and had to make a trek over to the prison to visit some clients.  

I was thinking about the Christmas Card thing.  I'll admit I haven't sent any for a few years, I keep meaning to, but they just don't seem to get done, but to me sending Christmas Cards was more telling people I cared about them, was thinking about them and wished the best for them or that I hadn't bothered to touch base with them in a year so it was a way to say I was still alive.  My cards are usually of the humorous variety. Sometimes I do the h Happy Holidays, but that's usually when I like the card.

I'm not sure I'll get any sent this year, or maybe just to the people who send them to me.

I love Cole Porter tunes and was in "An Evening With Cole Porter" a number of years ago. As far as best renditions, I'm not so good at naming who does the songs the best

Pretty day out today, and we're in for some heat, too: supposed to be in the 50s today after a very cold night!

Yes, DR Jrand, I understand some of your trepidation about the differences between the SUperboy of our youth and what we see on SMALLVILLE. But I see them as different entities and can enjoy each separately.

But then, the SUPERMAN TV show we grew up with veered somewhat from the Superman I knew, too. Superman hadn't adopted Jimmy as a best friend and thus no signal watch. Lois wasn't officially his girl friend. There was no Krypto and kryptonite in its many colors didn't exist, only green, and that was only in an episode or two.

I wasn't a die-hard fan of the show for many years because of all the teen angst between Clark, Lana, and Chloe. Now that this seems to be resolved, the shows are much more interesting to me.

Oh, and as for the LL affectation that seemed to permeate the SUPERMAN family, don't forget he fell in love with the mermaid Lori Lemaris. Supergirl's alias was Linda Lee. And there were other LL folks in his universe, too, but I don't remember the details now. It's been over 40 years ago!

I still have some movies on the DVR to watch today. I want to watch another of the remastered BATMAN films, probably BATMAN FOREVER. And I want to get to one of the Fox noir films, too: probably THE DARK CORNER.

I just read the VARIETY reviews for two of the seaso's most anticipated movies: THE PRODUCERS and MUNICH.

THE PRODUCERS was deemed extremely stagey but effectively hilarious. Reviewer said it had been brought to the screen with only minimal regard to cinematic flourish.

MUNICH was given a mixed-to-negative review being deemed ponderous and not very involving.
