Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I am watching Life of Brian and MP and the Holy Grail today. Probably not the best choice for my reawakened vertigo, but I gave my nephew Monty Python Fluxx for Christmas and it made me want to rewatch both (and the series, but I don't have that on DVD). If you're a fan, I highly recommend the game.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I second the MP Fluxx recommendation. It's a good game anyway, and the Python makes it even better.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Is the current Narnia movie worth seeing in 3D?

I didn't think it was really worth seeing in 3D, Steph. In fact, I heard repeatedly that it's nicer in 2D because the picture is brighter and prettier.

I heard repeatedly that it's nicer in 2D because the picture is brighter and prettier.

We heard the same thing about Megamind. Of the reviews at Rotten Tomatoes (which I admittedly scanned), it seems like about 70% were anti-3D and 30% were pro-3D.

We're taking Tim's nieces and nephews to see Narnia tomorrow, so we needed to make the 3D-vs-2D decision. 2D it is.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Saw The King's Speech for the second time yesterday. Still wonderful.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Narnia wasn't shot in 3D so I wouldn't bother seeing it that way - I have yet to see any converted 3D movie that wasn't made muddy and out of focus by the process.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I saw Secretariat today. Because my sister-in-law persuaded all of her friends to see it, after she had already seen it 14 time, in the theatre, and read the book twice.

I thought it was ok. I think she's a little crazy.

Art Crawl!!!

Was the movie based on a particular book? I didn't know that.
