Overheard...

I had to do a class evaluation today. The girl beside me didn't fill in any bubbles. She wrote in huge letters "RETIRE" across the whole sheet.

The men don't even look like men. They look like Bea Arthur wearing black jackets.

He's like a sasquatch. A coked out sasquatch.

Thumbs -

I saw 'The Fighter' and thought it was good. I enjoyed the family dynamic, the old hometown/legend angle and the film overall. Christian Bale and Amy Adams were excellent.

I also saw 'Voyage of the Dawn Treader'. I have mixed feeling about this one. I loved the 'The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe'. It is one of my favorite movies. I have not enjoyed 'Prince Caspian' or 'Dawn Treader' nearly as much. It isn't that they are bad movies or even bad interpretations of the books, but it feels as though something is missing. The first one was magical. I felt as though it captured the imagination of Narnia. The second two movies haven't had that. They've been entertaining adventures but Narnia has been neutered.
