Bunnies & The Moon

Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2005 - 9:25 a.m.

Last night, John and I took Peter and Larry Wong down to Daly City to the Century 20 Googleplexahexaflexagon Theatre (or whatever the heck it's called) so we could see "Wallace and Gromit in Attack of the Were-Rabbit." I hadn't seen Larry in almost a year, and hadn't seen Peter since the Keane concert in May.

Naturally, I was over the moon with this movie, since I collect stuffed bunnies.

Peter and Larry were pretty nonplussed at my tattoo; I guess maybe I should have had a big scary thing like an anchor or an eagle or a naked woman or something if I wanted some shock value. :-)

Speaking of the moon -- so lovely last night, to actually see a November moon. That's rare for we who live out by the coast. And Mars right next to her.

I need to read Jane Eyre one of these days.

Something tells me the movie adaptations do not do this book justice.

---

That's it! Have a good Wednesday. :-)

That's it? No rhapsodies about Were-Rabbit? I've seen it 5 times. Gotta see it at least twice to see all of the fun little details. (Hint: Look CAREFULLY at the back wall in the vicar's hothouse.) Question: Whose portraits are hanging in the foyer of the church (which are seen as Victor leaves with his gold bullets)??? Did you notice the contents of the case where the vicar kept the gold bullets? Did you notice the subject of the stained glass window that the were-rabbit crashed through?

How about when Gromit turns on the radio in the truck, and Art Garfunkel's "Bright Eyes" from the animated film version of "Watership Down" starts playing? Brin and I caught that one... but since we intend to buy the DVD, we may just wait until then to start hunting for all the other little details -- and YES, there were a LOT of them!

Ahhh, Jane Eyre. It is simply one of my favorite books. The William Hurt version of Jane Eyre is close to the flavor of the book, but you're right. The books is so much more. There's a depth of emotion that you can't get just from the movie.

John -- If I were you, I wouldn't wait until it comes out on disk. There are so many details you might miss at the lower resolution of home TV. Or won't be able to appreciate as much.

art -- Naw, just ignore the reviews and recommendations and chatter. You don't want to see it. I've seen it 5 times, and I can assure you that there is nothing worth watching. Who ever heard that an animated movie or one with rabbits could be interesting?
