Now something a bit more relaxing…

Every day, I get my Dilbert Fix. I often read Scott’s Dilblog as well.

Pretty much like I expected. Great presentational timing, although he is a bit of a martyr to visual aids…

Yesterday, we went to see Bridge to Terabithia, a Disney Film that is rather un-Disney-like. It has some escapist fantasy moments but the characters are all too real, real life intrudes in many gritty realistic ways and there is a part where they don’t live happily ever after after all. Also- not a talking anthropomorphic animal in sight!

It tackles the difficult issues of bullying, growing up, neglect, stifled aspirations, death and friendship through adversity. It is thoughtful and enjoyable, painting an interesting picture of contemporary American rural life.

I enjoyed it enough to want to track down the book, and it is always better to see the film first as movies are no match for imagination in their abridged offerings.

Recommended, take your kids if they are beyond CBBC.

The Thongster complains that the current batch of photos are “unphotogenic”.

In response, I put up this, still tasty, after all these years…
