Disney’s A Christmas Carol – A Must See At The Holidays
From IMDB – An animated retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic novel about a Victorian-era miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions.
This is a terrific movie with amazing animation and the great talent of Jim Carrey, Colin Firth and Gary Oldman. It is a must see every holiday season. There is a lot of similarities between the era of this story and modern day. We all know an Ebenezer Scrooge, Jacob Marley and Bob Cratchit in real life and hopefully their hearts and minds have been softened by the spirit of Christmas past, present and future. There is much universal truths for everyone in this classic Charles Dickens story.
Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone
Getting out of your comfort zone requires stepping out into unchartered territory, meeting people who are different from you and perhaps picking up on the language they speak. I also think it means meeting people half way and being willing to listen and understand. Yeah it can be scary but so rewarding in the end. Growth comes from being challenged.
Christmas Is All Around Us….Love Actually
It’s British, It’s about Christmas…what’s not to love. An all-star cast and the writing of Richard Curtis make this brilliant. I love Bill Nighy in this flick, he is my spirit animal if I were an aging rock star who cusses like the rainbow. This movie is a tradition this time of year.
Something About Tumblr
A friend of mine deleted her Tumblr blog after being harassed by some who had issues with the fandom they feel passionate about. I thought Tumblr was a cool and safe place for everyone. It seems it isn’t. I’m sorry she did that but it seems Tumblr has a way to go to become that place of open mindedness and true freedom of expression. Fandoms are highly personal things so when one is attacked because of uninformed people saying ignorant things then perhaps it’s time to run along. I’m glad to be on WordPress.
Tomorrow
Yep, it is unavoidable. Tomorrow is Monday and not many of us are fans of it. We must go through it though. Let’s see how it goes.
