Things weighing heavy on my

New Disney movie.

What makes children’s books classics, and what solidifies them as precious in our minds, are often things intangible or simple. Yet these are also the tender parts that Hollywood mercilessly zeros in on and plows over in their movies. In the book versions, the Grinch didn’t need a back story, the Cat in the Hat was without sexual inclinations, and the Polar Express was magical without flight.

This new movie is especially irritating for the fact that not only is it exploiting a character that never existed bodily in the original Pooh stories, who was in fact a creation of the combined imaginations of the friends, but that by constructing the existence of the Heffalump, they ruin the very heart of the original story.

I am, however, very much looking forward to Brad Pitt voicing the feature-length animated movie of an obsessive compulsive vampire child who solves mysteries by night, and finds that by fulfilling his compulsion to say “good night” to each object, he is soon led to solve his big case.

Tonya Harding’s new career.

Okay, this isn’t weighing heavy as much as it is blowing my mind.

Did you know someone could once look like that and now look like that. I mean…the face. Holy big face! My favorite part is the personalized belt. Fancy pants.
