Yes­ter­day I spent some time rewor­king this web­site to incor­po­rate
blog­ger. I am so far happy with the results. There are a few little
nick pick things to sort out, but ove­rall things are good. During the
time that I wasn’t site desig­ning, I watched two films, “The
Inc­re­di­bles” and “Ope­ra­tion Dumbo Drop”.

Ope­ra­tion Dumbo Drop
was on ITV1, it was basi­cally a Viet­nam story telling of how a small
group of five had to trans­port an elephant across Viet­nam without
get­ting killed, ending with them and the elephant parachu­ting out of a
cargo plane. It’s a Dis­ney film and was based on a true story. I
laughed at the jokes and enjo­yed the film sta­rring Danny Glo­ver and
Ray Liotta. I’d recom­mend it as one of those ran­dom films you catch on
TV that turn out to be quite enter­tai­ning. (Recently also seen “An
Ame­ri­can Were­wolf in Lon­don” and “Holi­day for Love” which were
simi­larly good).

I went to see The Inc­re­di­bles at the cinema. I
loved it. It was bri­lliant in every way. The jokes were ori­gi­nal, they
didn’t rely on pop cul­ture for their laughs and they didn’t setup a
sequel (des­pite the oppor­tu­ni­ties). The story­line wasn’t from a Dis­ney
for­mula either (as with Fin­ding Nemo). My faith in Pixar has been
firmly res­to­red and I look for­ward to their ven­tu­res without Dis­ney.
Without spoi­ling anything, I’d like to men­tion a cou­ple of sce­nes I
par­ti­cu­larly enjo­yed: 1. The kitchen family argu­ment scene. 2. The
flying chop­pers after Dash scene.
