Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
And take the hidden paths that run...
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

pinging for the Easter pics I promised. Plus tonight's dinner adventure.
Needless to say, we retired to the bathtub shortly after dinner.

I won't be doing much hiking or scrambling. The reason my adventure tomorrow is a driving-adventure, mostly, is because I have nasty blisters on my feet from my walk earlier in the week. Dunno how I got the blisters, but there you are.
And I'll be wearing my old half-dead adventure sneakers :-)

Ok, so Rose and I went to see
Sin City earlier tonight. Where to start....
Well, first off, we went to see it at the Alamo Drafthouse cinema. That's the place that serves food and drink while you watch the movie. They're also known for staging live events to go with the opening night of a movie. So, when we showed up 45 minutes before showtime, I was not surprised to see a stage with live music being played set up in the lobby. When we stepped into the theater, however, I was surprised...
To help introduce the movie (which features lots of scantily clad exotic dancers, prostitutes, etc.) the stage in front of the screen was set up with a pole dancer on one end and a screen dancer on the other. Yes, a scantily clad woman was dancing around a pole on one end of the stage while on the other end another scantily clad woman was dancing behind a backlit screen. They were dressed... no nudity... just lots of tight leather revealing not quite enough to shut them down. Shortly after we sat down, the two dancers were replaced by two other dancers, and we realized that the dancers were actually the waitresses. Which I thought was kind of neat, because then they were walking among the seats taking and delivering orders while just as scantily clad. Very neat...
Where was I? Oh, yes, the movie itself. Well, it's violent. Extremely violent: shootings, knifings, beheadings, child rape, adult rape, cannibalism... serial killing, revenge killing, contract killing... executions, electrocution, accidental and deliberate death, dismemberment, mayhem of every sort. There's also occasional casual female nudity, but that's not why this movie got it's well-deserved "R" rating. The violence is the reason.
All that being said, it's an excellent movie. Yes, the violence is over the top, as is the film-noir-ish dialogue, but the acting is mostly good to great and the action is non-stop. The special effects are eye catching, and the editing does a good job of interweaving three stories (and two bookends at the start and end) which take place over a stretch of 8 years or so.
So, if you're at all squeamish, don't go. If you don't mind sick, violent stories about sick and violent people, then go and enjoy it. We did!
Oh... uhm, Elijah Woods is in the movie. He plays a very, very sick and violent person who fully deserves the grisly death he receives. And that's all I'm going to say about that...

Oooh, well... at least the blood in Sin City is never red. It's "special effected" into black, neon yellow, or white...

Is the violence in the 'comic book' style or in the live action sequences? I'd read a review in the NY Times today, and they didn't think much of it, but I didn't read the nitty-gritty of it. I'll go back and do that before I decide whether to take the kids or not.

He is so proud of that suit! This will likely be the last time he ever wears it. Already it is almost too short. He had to wear a short sleeves shirt because the jacket sleeves are too short, and the pants are just at his ankles. But, oh, he looks so handsome! And that tie! 'Tis no mere clip on.
Thursday at school it was picture day, so he got to wear his suit again. Afterward he changed out of the pants and jacket, but kept the tie on. He was the cutest thing in khaki shorts, a white oxford shirt, and black tie.
