I’m digging in. It’s going to take a bit of cleansing, but I’m going to make this blog sing my simple song. This means I’ll be tearing out content, much of it that you may have enjoyed seeing here at one point or another.
But the fact is that contributions are at a minimum as is my time to manage anything other than that which I produce. So this particular wing of the Whale Time collective is going solo.
I will continue to link out and send shout outs to my posse. I will be giving all of their content back to them: Tip, Boo, Schmall, E., James, and other contributors. I strongly encourage them to start up blogs of their own and to feed their muse. I look forward to them doing something of their own on the Internet.
It’s so easy to do now. There’s no barrier to managing your own affairs via Wordpress, Tumblr, Posterous, and a host of other sites. Or if they don’t get to it (believe me, I know how hard it is to find the time), find most of them over on the Facebook. Except Sean. He’s fast becoming a Luddite. I talk to him now about as often as I talk to my grandma who doesn’t have a computer and rarely leaves Eau Claire.
This probably makes me a bad grandson and a bad friend. Yeah, I should give my grandma a call.
But Sean should really be on Facebook or something online. He has a great writing voice and photographic eye. He should be sharing these things with us. I’m sad that I don’t have time to do it for him anymore.
Let the turnip digging begin!

It’s too bad that Wall-E came out first because there are definitely comparisons to that movie even though they are very different. Humans are gone (but not in space) and there are these creations that are living on. But why? What is their purpose? It’s an interesting movie and it looks incredible, better than Wall-E even, which I didn’t like as much as the rest of you. I say you should give it a shot.

I have never read the kids book, not that you have to, so it was just another movie for me. Not something that I remembered fondly from my childhood. I also didn’t see it in 3D although now I kinda want to. I really liked the movie. I think it’s great for kids and adults. Lots of colors and food and fun going on. There are some great gags. I especially liked the ongoing ones with the TV remote control and the Ratbirds. And the Gummy Bears towards the end were hilarious. Great voice cast too. Not sure where they could get a sequel out of this one but I wouldn’t mind seeing one.

Hmmm, I liked this movie but I don’t expect you to. It’s well told for what it is even though it is not a surprise with what happens in the end. And a couple of scenes don’t work with what it turns out to be so that is a failure right there but I liked everyone in it. Or maybe it was just because I had just watched G.I. Joe.

This is a terrible movie written and made for 5-year-olds. Except that thousands of people are killed. Laugh-out-loud bad from the beginning in 1641 France all the way to the end.

The story about Julia is okay and the one about Julie is okay. If they had gotten lesser actresses I don’t think this movie would have worked. Meryl Streep is always amazing and she is great as Julia Child. Amy Adams just may be the next Meryl and once again is captivating on screen.
