Home!
Late today, as we went to the pictures - my first visit to a cinema since Star Trek: First Contact which was, according to IMDB, in 1996.
It had dinosaurs this time. To my mind, they could have cut all the stuff at the start and end about the kids' parents. Their family was, frankly, not very interesting. And all that love interest crap could go too. They should have just gone straight in with dinosaurs being a bit menacing, then dinosaurs attacking everyone, then carry on with that until the end. Much better, and I could have got home earlier.
Oh, and all those shots of placid herbivorous dinosaurs grazing could go too. Frankly, grazing herbivores don't really make for an exciting cinematic experience when one drives past several fields of cows every day.
But once it got started and the blood was flowing and the bones were crunching, it was OK reallyComment

I did go to see a showing of a newly-restored print of Battleship Potemkin in 1997 or 1998, as I recall, but that wasn't in a normal people's cinema, but an arts centre/theatre.Comment

Jurassic park was on telly a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't realised it was from several years before ms#5 was born and he'd never seen it, so it was quite nice to watch it again (and laugh again at ms#3 who used to be scared of velociraptors in his wardrobe)Comment

That was another rather unrealistic bit, when they were going "OMG if anybody finds out about the dinosaurs escaping and running amok it'll put us out of business" - as if the general public have completely forgotten about the three previous occasions when exactly the same thing has happened over the preceding twenty-two yearsComment

In other news, I finished* digging the weeds out of the new patch of soon to be lawn.
*the definition of "finished" depends on how fast the little feckers grow back.Comment
