Happy Feet

I took Devlin to see Happy Feet yesterday afternoon. I thought it was delightful. Devlin squirmed, yawned, lost a toy - amazingly didn't scream or yell or throw a wobbler, possibly because I assured him that he would get it back as soon as the movie ended - asked me at least a dozen times if the movie was over yet and eventually became a lap parasite... And yet walking out in the hall he said "That was a great movie. I really liked it."

Is Hugh Jackman the Michael Caine of 2006? He's in everything all of a sudden! He is a delight for eyes and ears though, so I'll overlook it for now...

A few days ago I got an email from Transworld about a premier for Hogfather - have to be a UK resident and actually in the UK to go... useless to me, so I posted the link in the Neil Gaiman message board and someone won tickets! How cool is that? And while I am of course extremely jealous that she gets to go and see it on telly, I'm sure it'll find its way to DVD someday. Mr Pratchett himself has a cameo as the toymaker.

I wonder if I can convince my husband to take me to the movies tonight. Either Casino Royale or Tencaious D. I vote for the latter, I'm more in the mood to laugh.
