Going to the movies!
I can’t remember the last time I went to the movies. We’re going to see Flow.
It’s Latvian. It was made by a small team with the free program Blender. And it won an Oscar!
Uncle B said, “I bet it has a sad ending” and I thought “oh no! I bet he’s right!”
Pray for a happy ending, folks. I hate sad stuff mixed with animals.

Hoping for a happy ending. I’m a happy ending person.
Sad animal movie? I’ll give you sad animal movie.
Rent Hachi: A dog’s tale.
I understand the nobility and honor of the real Japanese story behind the movie, the American version? Death to the humans.

The visuals and the story are pretty good up until the end. Then the story? Meh. And it leaves too many open questions, with the biggest one being “WHERE ARE ALL OF THE PEOPLE?”.
My wife, daughter and I watched it over two nights. Everyone enjoyed it, except that all felt the end was unsatisfying.
Oh, and there’s a group of dogs in it that my daughter absolutely _hated_.
Well, enjoy date night. Let us know what you thing about it.
BTW: There’s no dialog at all, unless you consider barks, chirps, meows, and squeaks to be dialog.

I liked it.
There’s a few scenes of “CATS DON’T DO THAT!” but otherwise very decent.

I believe we have a winner in the Dead Pool with Val Kilmer. Pneumonia related to his throat cancer. All Hail Nana1!

It’s like “Jhu Dao” and “Angela’s ashes” all in one.
I kid. It’s not a terribly sad ending.

I’m still scarred from “Lassie Come Home” when the Tinker’s little dog was killed.
