Dinner+/_ for Four --- Days 15/209 - 2011

Walks: Hood, Presidio. AMC Kabuki

Distance Average: 4 miles

A foursome of actors on Ciwt's favorites list, intelligent/ultimately thought provoking and truthful script, great comic timing, superior film making.  Ciwt is not necessarily recommending The Invite.  But, overall, what's not to like - even though the movie events often made her squirm?

In the Pink --- Days 15/205 - 208

Walks: Presidio and Hood

Distances: 4 miles average

So during Amazon's Big Spring Event the other day Ciwt got herself confused with a young Barbie fan and bought this new iPad.  Actually, it's cute and happy to work on.  Maybe next sale, she'll get a doll.

So Ciwt went to Toy Story 5 daycamp recently.  The movie was pretty good even though Ciwt, not having kids, didn't know several generations of the starring toys.  

It was the generation of AI, CGI, VR, AR - whatever they are - that didn't work for her.  Toy Story 5 was preceded by 1/2 hour of upcoming animated movie previews.  And they all looked exactly the same.  Exact same fully drenched colors, same fleshy, rounded characters, same skies, clouds, insects, etc.  Somehow the charm of animated characters has disappeared.  And, without the old cuteness and artistic wonder factor, contemporay animated movies come across almost as plain old grown up movies - only with stuffed and talking animals, toys, cars, etc. in the main roles.
