Test Title

Ok, just testing the new template. I kept the old comment code, though, since I like that better than the automatic one that comes with the new blogs.

Nothing much new today. I'd tell you all about that movie The Forgotten, but I have a vague feeling I didn't actually see it.

See ya later, Alligator

Ok, so they've caught Chucky at last.
So, just to get this out of my head and into yours...

What if they hadn't caught him, but instead he'd ended up as someone's purse, or shoes, or what if....

{cue Rickie Lee Jones music}

Chucky's a glove...
Chucky's a glove...

Yes, I too wonder how I can sleep at night.

At the movies....

Got a sneak preview of that new movie, "Sky Captain and the World of Tenille." What the heck, if ABBA, Queen, and Elvis get musicals based on their music, why not the dynamic duo that brought us "Muskrat Love"? Although I think I could live without the image of muskrats loving in zero-g, most of this movie was a wonderful cross of 40's comics and 70's sappy love songs. When Captian Gilbert 'O Sullivan and Polly Purebred broke out into "Love will Keep us In Leather", the scene brought tears to my eyes. Ok, I confess, tears of pain, but tears nonetheless.... And then, of course, there's that memorable femme fatale with the eye-patch, Franky Vallet. Her falsetto is totally to die for. In fact, her voice is used to shatter the good-guy weapons, and is beautifully rendered as little concentric circles floating out of her mouth. It's too bad she missed Suzie and Sam, but perhaps that's the fault of the ASPCA, since no muskrats, even cgi ones, were harmed during the filming of this movie.
