It's late at night and it's time for an update!
Woof!
First off, I went to the movies to see the next Narnia movie. I went there with a mostly curious attitude aside from anything else, but I didn't get my hopes up, because I was very much expecting this installment to flop around with all the intensity of a Magikarp performing its ever famous ... but rather useless Splash attack.
To my surprise (while it still didn't hold a candle to the first movie IMO) it was actually quite entertaining. I've always been fond of the tale of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and this story has found a place in my heart as well. Although I didn't find it to be nearly as captivating, or charming as the former which I mentioned. That's okay though, since that's exactly what I was expecting.
Still ... they did have lots of talking animals, (big bias, and also a big plus for me) and a wide assortment of other mystical beasties which made me very happy. Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but aside from the Lord of the Rings movies, very few films actually focus on these kinds of characters. I've seen dragons and unicorns sure, even dwarves on occasion, but very rarely do I see Minotaurs and Griffins and those types of creatures. Especially for any period of time.
So, of course when the war scenes were taking place, Mike actually could see how intently I was focused on the movie! Apparently I was gripping his hand and leaning forward in my seat, as if I was trying to will the odds in Narnia's favor! Hah. I didn't even realize I was doing that. It was kind of funny when he pointed it out to me though.
Also, I must announce that I've made it my mission to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua. You heard me. If it's at all possible, I would love to make a midnight showing. Seriously. If I have the time, I'm totally going to make a set of ears to wear! It's going to be great. I'd like to go with a big group if I can get enough people, if anyone is interested, everyone is welcome to come!
Might even do a late dinner at Denny's afterward or something. It'd be fun to get a group of furries to go see, but I'm not sure if I'm feeling quite *that* dedicated. We'll see. I just might try.
