Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Last night Anne and I watched Testament, an '83 movie about the aftermath of a nuclear war. It was good but very grim, as you can imagine. Reminded us a lot of On the Beach with the people in a small California town that wasn't nuked gradually dying of radiation poisoning.

A movie far superior to The Day After. I'd rank it above Fail Safe too. Also, it was a TV version so it looked like they edited out some of the gross effect of radiation poisoning. It's the kind of movie that sticks in your mind....

Is Testament the one with the radiation-poisoned kid and the sink?

Yes. Although I think they darkened the screen for tv so we wouldn't see all ther grossness. Still, we saw enough.

Compassionately intolerant

All three of those movies had a profound on my life and vocation.

The Day After led me to walk across the country. Testament led me to become a professional peace activist, and Fail Safe was riveting.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

DH really liked Crimson Peak

(So did I. I want to see it again RIGHT NOW.)

Can't wait to see it!

It's SO SO GOOD. If it weren't for all the ghosts and walls running with blood I would want to live there and wear big poofy sleeves and high collars forever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I realize they have nothing in common except the director, and the words aren't actually that similar, but every time I see Crimson Peak, I think it's talking about Pacific Rim.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I just got back from Crimson Peak. So. Much. Fun! I want to wear poofy sleeves and be enigmatic while banging Tom Hiddleston.

Of course, I kinda wanted that before I saw the movie, too.

But now I have a color palette and lace combo in mind.

The casting really is pitch perfect.
