...Mr. Fox! Is a grand little movie. It has very little relation to the Roald Dahl book of the same name, but in a good way. Instead of being a poorly scripted abridgement, I found it a sprightly-paced story that's fully its own, with wonderful wit and visuals. See it if you haven't!

Oh, you should definitely see it! I thought of you, but I was afraid that it would go out of theaters soon, since it doesn't seem to be getting very good attendance despite getting great reviews (at least here in D.C.). That seemed to happen to both Wild Things and Astro Boy, and I didn't want to miss the train on this one.

I am coming home the evening of the 18th and leaving the morning of the 28th. Barring the 19th, 24th and 25th, you have your pick of any other date in the interval!

I don't know what else will be showing, but perhaps you'd like to see James Cameron's Avatar? I saw a really short preview for it and it looks interesting, in a potentially dangerous way. Like, on the surface it seems like a film made for furries based on Fern Gully...which, when I phrase it that way, actually makes it sound terrifying. Um. It might lead to interesting discussions on race and colonialism?

...I'm open to other suggestions. >_>

No I getcha. XD I gotta see it before it leaves theaters myself.

Maybe Sunday the 20th or the weekend after Christmas? OR BOTH

I dunno, I can't really get into Avatar...I don't like what I've seen of it, though I haven't seen much. What about Sherlock Holmes with RDJ? It looks ridiculous but in a potentially awesome way XD

Oh my goodness, is Sherlock Holmes opening?! Then yes, we MUST see that. Shirtless fisticuffs! Ridiculous looking plotline! Jude Law as Doctor Watson!

THE GAME IS AFOOT. >D
