This and that

In the noble low-budget tradition of Dungeon Majesty: Fantasy Bedtime Hour. Two women in bed read and discuss Lord Foul's Bane. (Visually work-safe thanks to strategically placed sheets, AFAICT from brief examination; audio probably not work-safe.)

"My son becomes a man, gets +2 STR, +1 DEX." A geek's pride as his 13-year-old son gets his first set of roleplaying dice.

Tuesday, the RAAF will be holding a funeral service in Hanover for the crew of a Lancaster PB290 bomber shot down in 1944. One of them, Richard Hawthorn, was a cousin of my late grandmother; beyond that, all I know about it is what's in the article.

Reasons not to see 'Wedding Crashers'. I don't think there's any topic that should be completely off-bounds for humour - one of the ways we cope with wrongness in our world is to joke about it - but *trivialising* rape is remarkably uncool.

OTOH, 'Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit' was very good. IMHO, best Aardman so far :-) And several gags in there that the little ones *won't* get...

Suffer. So often we wait extra time for things you get to see on the real release dates.

We were lucky enough to catch an advance screening, though - it's not due out here officially until next Thursday.

We normaly have to wait extra too... Katamari Damacy hasnt even been released here at all!

I just can't understand at all how a movie made in england gets released here the latest of all!

But W&G was made in the US...

Nope, made by Aardman animation studios in Bristol. As was Chicken Run, and all the previous W&G short films.

My apologies. I had thought both were made in LA, in the Dreamworks studios.
