A Rant and a Rave
Namely:
If you are going to rate something on a scale of 1 - 10, you are no longer,
NO LONGER, I SAY, allowed to quote a number outside of that range - viz, On scale of 1 - 10, they're a 15! It drives me INSANE.
(Clears throat and has a good lie down.) But...
Buying socks in Woolworths this morning I bumped into a DVD copy of
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, hiding with its back against the wall in the bread aisle, of all places. I never seek these things out, they seem to find me - some proof of the predestined organisation of the universe, or do lots of nerds hang out in Woolies? (Should it be called Wallies?) It's not cinematic genius, I guess, but I have a really soft spot for it - particularly for Robin Williams' cameo appearance - and I needed to make it feel loved.
Whoo, they've got my number, don't they?

They sure do... on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say a 12.8
:-p
I have not encountered many people in Oz who are familiar with the Baron. How is the movie? (I missed it when it was out and about). Give us a review... please?
:) Watch this space!
Oh, I forgot to add that it was one of may favourite stories read to me as a child. Yes, it was read to me. we didn't have these fancy televisiomithingos.
I only remember the bits about riding a seahorse, flying on a cannonball and getting his horse chopped in half by the castle gates. How memories fade as planets drift away.
