An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
Movie Review & Stuff
Short person and I spent the evening watching The Last Mimzy. All I can say is….. HUH? What a strange movie. The concept was interesting, but I seriously doubt Homeland Security would just let those kids take off in a big ol’ truck.  There was something offbeat about the whole movie. I’m not sure if it was the directing, acting, or editing, but something was just ….. off.
Naturally, a movie that takes less than two hours to watch ended up taking closer to four. Thank goodness the ‘pause’ button was invented! We had to go outside and look at the moon a couple of times, and check out the stars. “Why are the stars so bright?” Well, because there aren’t a lot of city lights to block the light. “Why?” Because we are out in the country. “Why are we in the country?” The questions continued in this vein until I pointed her back towards the door. sigh…. No, I didn’t smack her, but the temptation was strong.   
Then, there was the constant coaxing of Hootie to come down from the top of the cabinets. She’s been there all day. I finally had to put her food and water on top of the refrigerator. She just came down a few minutes ago to take a few swipes at Mr. Spot, and Mr. Spot being the kitten he still is, despite his size, just had to chase her under the bed, sit there and stare, and honestly, I swear I could hear him chuckling. Males!  
So, we finally got through the movie and I’m just as baffled as I was when it started. I found some of the references a tad odd, like the “universe speaking” and the Tibetan stuff. Oh well, it was entertaining, and kept short person semi entertained for a while. Maybe I should watch it again when there won’t be constant interruptions?
