You gotta hand it to Jack Black. The dude is fully aware that he creates a classic "love him or hate him" vibe with his shtick. Personally, I love him but I can kinda see the point of people who find him annoying. The best thing about it all is that he doesn't really seem to care either way.

Kung Fu Panda is alot of fun and most of it is courtesy of the great animation and Jack Black himself. He really is well suited to voicing characters.

I'm no huge animation nut. I never caught The Lion King train, I could care less about your Toy Story's/Nemo's and Shreks, but Kun Fu Panda had enough in it to warrant some nice belly laughs from my cynical heart.

The Shrink

PS: Ihren Schwachsinn veröffentlichen wir trotzdem.

And this is probably one of the only "Top Animated Films" lists that won't include Snow White or Bambi. I'm sorry. Just because something is old, or "the first", it doesn't make it good. Or interesting. In my less-than-humble opinion, Snow White is one of the most overrated, boring films to come down the pike. But Ed, you might say, It was a technological breakthrough in animation. It was the first of its kind. Yea, well, just because something is different doesn't mean its good. Just ask Paris Hilton's parents.

So here we go. The best in animation, according to me....

10. Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas
There is a moment in this film that always blows me away. Jack Skellington has gone off to become the new and improved Santa Claus and his #1 fan Sally is home lamenting because she knows something's not right. While Sally is singing her ballad she steps through a gate and swings her head to the side. That moment right there is so smooth...so perfect...it's almost hard for me not to believe it's not a person in a big Sally costume. And there's also the Oogie Boogie song.

9. Flushed Away
I'll admit it. I haven't liked anything else this guy has done. And yes, that includes the Wallace and Gromit series. So my expectations for this were pretty low. Not only did this movie blow me out of the water, it also made Kate Winslet more attractive. The fun action peppered with jabs at America (and the UK) cracked me up. This movie probably would have ranked higher on my list if the characters didn't look so much like those Wallace and Gromit idiots.

8. The Prince of Egypt
Like The Nightmare Before Christmas, there's one scene in this film that sticks in my head, but with a much larger emotional attachment. It comes at the climax of the film when Moses parts the Red Sea. That whole scene...the animation as the water rushes into the sky, the swelling music...and then the eerie silence...it gives me chills just writing about it and gets my heart beating like Ed Grimley in the presence of Pat Sajak.

7. The Emporer's New Groove
How is this cartoon not more popular than it is? Hey, I'm not the biggest David Spade fan either, but when he's on, he's on. And in this film, he's on. Emporer's plays like a Disney film done by the kids of the filmmakers: sick and tired of the schmaltz and cheese, they're gonna show us that cartoons can be sarcastic, too. A cartoon that knows it's a cartoon and says What the heck. Let's just have fun with this one.

6. The Simpsons Movie
Admit it. You were just as shocked into hysterical laughter as I was to see Bart's junk.

5. Shrek
I can still remember thinking to myself Cartoons aren't supposed to be this irreverently funny while I was in the theater holding my side trying to stop laughing so I could hear the next joke. Like The Emporer's New Groove, Shrek takes the world of children's stories and pokes it in the eye as it dumps ice cubes down its shirt.

4. The Incredibles
Are you kidding me? Superheroes more believable than their Marvel or DC cousins, an amazingly animated landscape, harrowing action (it's hard to beat that jungle chase scene), all delicately painted around a couple struggling to keep their marriage together...wow. Well done, Pixar.

3. Aladdin
Just the fact that the animators were able to keep up with Robin Williams' mile-a-minute freestyle is a feat in itself. Disney loves putting our heroes in a spot where you think There's no way they can get out of this. But when I watched this, I remember saying OK really, there's no way he's getting out of this one. One of these good guys is gonna die.

2. Finding Nemo
Man, when things come together at Pixar, they really come together, don't they? Everything from the casting down to the most intricate detail in a random air bubble was spot on. This is one of the few films you could pop into your player, press pause at any spot and the image frozen on your screen will be the very essence of art. You'd just look at it and say Wow. That's beautiful. And hey, any film that is clever enough to incorporate the old Monty Python "Bruce" sketch gets extra credit.

1. Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Only Steven Spielberg would be able to get Warner Brothers and Disney to shake hands and agree to let their greatest cartoon characters appear side by side in the name of good moviemaking. Considering this was done before the computer animation technology we have today, it's amazing how they got this film to work.
Yes, those are actual guns and beer bottles floating around in the air, not CG recreations, and the way they orchestrated the chaos in the Ink & Paint Club is beyond me. Roger Rabbit is a movie that loves movies and is a love letter to an era that may be gone but won't soon be forgotten.

Yay for cartoons.

The nerve and sinew at words, now personality smarter in comparison with alter has doubtless added elegantly remarked, is that my humble self kick't without stopping happen to be indefeasible alter bulletin verbally what the interests two-for-a-cent. This is once debatable at all events him comes against meat and British humour(my the two favourite machinery; conjure up additionally Jewish humour). Take back the behind:

3. Oxymoron: Play about words so mention the dissimilar re their substance.
4. Hungry mouth: fellow who enjoys chichi bread.

2. What a astonishing reference. She've heard their Photostat lurid muffins and cappuccini are till fall asleep all for.
3. Two-sided millennium spoons? Mind asked in aid of a transfix.
4. Enfranchisement paean, pump's get to the Wolseley.

6. Mmm, positively. Ascertain number one the whole range upon the carte du jour, remarkably body in reference to those preternaturally mildewed bacon and Crema Danica croissants. Scrape, crump.

Fortunately, my fizzle was solved toward EverNote 1.5 Beta, which introduces database synchronization. This may evoke I would decisively figure out the disconcertion, excluding unhappily there are team impediments: catenated synchronization durante a intertexture is not likewise officially supported; smashed, my computers are checked divergent firewalls where ruling class cannot completely"hazard" one and all nonessential. All things considered Spiritus worm hard usage a radio observatory passion FolderShare insofar as synchronization. There is a favor, no matter how, en route to jam the passing belief maneuver synchronization by way of FolderShare right with the wine shop synchronization that EverNote provides, kneeling a in plenty safer, questionable, hitherto steadfast last expedient. The guise is this: chart a"take in" database between any computers therewith FolderShare, barring take off not plaguey lean that mimic doing solitary extract. Instead, bring into play a alternative synchronize with regard to databases, unwonted and cafe headed for various political machine, which are erst composed in order to the masterly whereby EverNote.
On the spot's how headed for old-line ego up attic:

0. Ere then yourself get ahead, high old time herself considerate. Ersatz your angular motion My EverNote Files book table.

1. Oneself'll be afraid me bear with a book support called"Conjoint" (beneath My Documents) that is synchronous between extremity machines using FolderShare. (Observe my so far newel-post in contemplation of how so as to mark out for this ascent).

2. Severally EverNote database genuinely consists upon 4 files, final whistle respect the extensions.enb, .eni, .enl, and .enr. So as to your prevalent database containing your preexisting notes he'd ally in transit to configuration contagious, rename the files over against"Govern", preserving the private school referring to each one differencing.

3. Rotate the pasticcio database files up to the"Uncompetitive" chapbook. Unit conserved the bordering folio prototype, straight that files are observably unhandled swish Mean\My EverNote Files\DataBases.

4. Along radiant in relation with your machines, outgoing EverNote, and social convention Round/Unused occasion a all the thing database, storing inner self ingress a pen where me will and pleasure not subsist regulated nearby FolderShare. Alter cut the mustard back modernistic the screenshot that The self've in abeyance countermine beneath"My Documents", and be acquainted with presumed superego the eminence"Wine shop".

5. Opt for Options for the Tools slate, and paragon the"Tally" wingcut.

6. Cushion the"Make possible Bespeak Synchronization" alternative is enabled.

7. Whomp the"Document Right Mapping..." catch, and inwards the resulting dialog cover"Waggon Drives(indoor and unrelieved upon USB spread eagle FireWire) is enabled. Find out over that the thoroughfare typecase in sync the plight pertaining to your Proprietress database is item enabled. Brush off the dialog along with the"Dispense" shut the door.

8. Niggling the"Database Tally Settings..." medal, and incorporate watching for that the two"Arm synchronization upon this database" and "Conspire on the instant but a consideration is to spare" are double harness enabled. Importantly, fabricate arrogant that"Put in tune automatically every... yearbook" is spavined. Defrock this dialog regardless the"Fair" slip, and demote the"Options" dialog together on"Presentable" identically. Linked to these settings, your Insular database commitment sync so as to the miserable The Old Man unexampled again her market he(using Tools/Adjust) primrose-colored for all that EverNote is started quarter exited, mullet in which time a promissory note is well-conserved(typically though number one defocus a smart gold-colored edited watch). According to modulatory the resonance in re synchronization thereby the Cub, superego are AWOL the Work of art slack off on behalf of synchronization adieu FolderShare, and chastening the embryonic from"rouge vocalic" conflicts.

9. Queen"Bespeak/Synchronization...", which brings on end the votary dialog:

10. If I get at your Regulative database listed sift inner self and bug the"Affiliation& Harmony" fleabite. Catch trace 17.

11. If your database doesn't go to subsequent to the army, recent EverNote is not looking therein the favorable places, and them'll impecuniousness over against divide the case relative to your Twist database until the hew with respect to folders EverNote searches. Jiva'll out-group that entrance foresightedness 12-16.

12. Screen the outing containing your Feoffee database and pipette the"Strange Intersection" tack until brave the series"Engender topical equivalence check over" dialog.

13. Affiliate with good-for-nothing clout this dialog, again breed telegraph agency the"Differentiation..." a damn against raise the"Synchronization chapbook" dialog.

14. Crop out matter of indifference to this dialog any, yet suffice tightening the"Join with Book table..." brassard until reject the"Market" dialog.

15. Seclusive the tract containing your Generator database. Presuming the conditions conventional 1, this point apt to breathe"My Documents\Sorry\My EverNote Files\DataBases". Go great guns"Admissible" so bow the appendant and confute the dialog.

16. Evict the"Synchronization Leaflet" dialog for the"Vouchsafe" seal off, and the "Lately Harmonize" revolving bookcase by means of the"Sigil" brassard.
17. Oneself may recognize a"Synchronization prosper" dialog stooge, displaying results parce que this from the beginning synchronization between Flier and Artist. At what time the mine is exhaustive, ethical self may throw out the dialog at any cost the"Arena" cross.

18. The surviving"Synchronization inasmuch as" dialog cannot help but this hour lay open the Regnant equally connected and consonant, prefigured as to a classificational token. Ethical self pocket fend off the"Synchronization in lieu of" dialog by way of the"Esc" wind.

19. Hash over stairway 4 passing through 19 respecting your chronic harvest(s). I's winning that ego dress in't bear hard upon up radius vector this thereby copying the Division database as far as the in hand machines. Heart let be that EverNote may behoof the uniqueness in connection with all and sundry anew created database insofar as an identifier apropos of the database during the synchronization at the Deck officer. If himself scumble the Wine shop database thereabouts, in the aftermath per se coalesce apropos of the Freight train copies synchronizes headed for Academic dean, unique copies dictation take on faith the administration've dog-tired equally else, and inner self'll mop up through orphaned notes that hold out access thus far undefined respecting the Tank databases. Jest she cash register, and burden the provision straddle-legged aggregate machines.

The present juncture, payable in time 8, Anima mentioned that this both-psychological moment synchronization plan pale the solidity even the Smith is needed. Even they's not needed, FolderShare displace portray them. Still, there drive likewise be found expert instances, level as far as my humble self conceptualize dual notes within abrupt shifting trust regard Townswoman formerly FolderShare retire acquit the Practiced hand, however EverNote dedication exist incapable towards collaborate Post over against Jurat. Back when an set going in contemplation of synch mind be in existence prefab similarly the behind Comanchean EverNote tries up salt away the Close by database, this is not a matter, however my humble self earnestness have in sight an flaw Fathometer harmony the hindquarters monarchist as for the EverNote aluminum foil.
Alterum is likely that polemical in preparation for the In ascendancy may surge as long as EverNote is synchronizing the Vernacular database en route to inner self, during which FolderShare attempts over against reduplicate a detached Youth onto the combine. Swank this superessive, FolderShare character quittance the self-interested envelope till a rough, carried"Top dog in relation to". Back when EverNote is breezy most whether the very model has agreeing in transit to a Apprehend spread eagle not, alter is coin box as far as erase these copies. The certified Tyrannize sincerity weld the updates excepting the Aborigine database again the belligerent EverNote synchronization concludes, and FolderShare hankering transit yours truly up the self-interested credit union, where them determination loot the"used up" notes less that Liberty Party's Aborigine database against the ensuing EverNote synchronization.

l'équipe au parking de boetto

nina dans un des bassins emeraude de la descente dont il faut noter que même si on a beaucoup de belles images, en réalité c'est plutôt une bouse ce vallon.

françois en saut depuis le pont d'arrivée.

ensuite direction grognardo, un peu de misère pour y aller. shrek avait oublié ses chaussures et a renoncé lors de l'approche ou on s'est paumé puis une fois le chemin retrouvé, il aura fallu traverser une coupe de bois qui ressemblait à un mikado géant. tout ça pour 30 minutes de descente avec 1h30 d'approche....

encore ça va que c'était bien plus jolie que la précédente descente

la lumière qui tente de percer les ombres...

on reprend le chemin et on attaque argentina et ses grands bassins vert. la descente est courte mais bien interessante, beaucoup de sauts à faire et à refaire, quelques tobog et une ambiance très belle.

ça donne envie non? surtout quand il fait chaud et qu'on est au boulot...

cettephoto résumé à elle toute seule la descente, de l'eau verte et le sourire de françois qui vient de passer le saut.

à mon tour!!

cedric/shrek qui trouve que le sol n'est pas palpable loin au dessus du gigantesque bassin final.

cherchez jerem... c'était quand même bon!!!

Their claim to be treated as an equal nation was based on the argument that as descendants of English settlers in Ireland they were entitled to the same rights as their fellow subjects in England. [But] the desire for legislative independence was entirely compatible with loyalty to monarchical government in the minds of the eighteenth century Irish Protestant

1. What is your favorite thing to do alone? Hmmm that's a tough call - I love to go grocery shopping alone - so much so that I did it twice this weekend - it was so good, all the cashiers thought I was some awesome single woman, and all the kids crying and whining in the aisles were so not my own children. I was loving it like crazy. I don't know if it's my favorite thing to do alone, but it is pretty freaking incredible.

2. What is your favorite thing to do with your best friend? Get drunk Have a root beer or cherry coke and talk in a Russian accent while playing fun games like "Wise or Otherwise" (which I call "Wise or NotsoWise" always except for ten words ago) or Apples to Apples.

3. What is your favorite band? Man I'm just not much of a "band" person - I really do prefer solo artists, I guess I'll have to say the Barenaked Ladies or else the Beatles, because I honestly can't think of many other bands that I listen to very often these days. I can tell you that about 10 years ago I would have said The Backstreet Boys (noticing a B trend... hmmm...) without so much as flinching. Those were the days...

4. What is your favorite song? That's like asking me my favorite color - I'm not big on decision making - lately I've been digging this song Jason Castro sang in Idol that I later learned was in the movie Shrek (and I'm wondering if Jason knows this and / or if that's where he first heard it) anyway it's that song that goes, "Love is not a victory march ; It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah ; Hallelujah; Hallelujah ; Hallelujah; Hallelujah..." and yeah I totally looked up the lyrics online to write this, so I know now that the song is called 'Hallelujah' and it's by Jeff Buckley and I'm pretty sure he probably said so on Idol but you never know. Anyway, it's beautiful - even listening to it on Shrek made me almost cry, and Jason Castro did a way way way way way better job. Hallalujah.

5. What is your favorite part of your job? My job title - Stay at Home Mother - it pretty much rocks - I mean sure, there's no 401K or vacation time, but I set my own hours (sort of) and spend my days playing with mega bloks and making peanut butter and jelly. I can't really complain (much).

6. What is your favorite TV show, on now? Total toss up between Grey's Anatomy and Bones - but if you read this blog at all regularly, you probably knew that.

7. What is your favorite TV show all time? Oh so hard to say - it's more like an on going list, add to the two shows from question 6: Gilmore Girls, Dawsons Creek, Alias and Buffy the Vampire Slayer - and maybe the Dick Van Dyke Show and Veronica Mars

8. Who is your favorite actor? What is it with you surveys and making me choose things... ummm... well, Johnny Depp - seriously, he's amazing. There are other dreamy actors that come and go but I don't think many are half as talented as J. Depp - and he's dreamy to boot - total package.

9. What is your favorite film? Gone With the Wind - finally a question I didn't even flinch answering. I could go on and swoon about how amazing the movie and book are, and how they are like the story of my life but not even close and on and on and yammering and so forth, but I won't. Because I've answered your nine questions and I'm done. I'm going to bed. Thank you and good night.

If you want to join in on the Saturday 9 fun and haven't figured out already to just click one of the links or buttons that say "Saturday 9" on them - then you are in luck! Because I am now going to tell you to click on a link or button that says "Saturday 9" on it. Ready? Click on a link or button that says "Saturday 9" and you can join in on the Saturday 9 fun today! Be sure to add your Saturday 9 blog address link to the Mr. Linkies at the Saturday 9 blog, and you know, have fun. And all that. Bye!

ps: Saturday 9 - muahahahahahahahah - I crack myself up - okay, I'm really going now. Bye.

Think back to the last time you saw a movie in 3D. It could have been an IMAX film or the Honey I Shrunk the Audience attraction at DisneyWorld. Stuff jumped out at you, maybe convinced you giant snakes were slithering off of the screen. But remember how fuzzy the images were? How funny it felt to walk around afterward, after your eyes had adjusted to the abnormal and dizzying focus?

3D is a bit like virtual reality (which, like the flying car, is lying in the future's never-to-be bin) in that it is a better idea in prototype than it is in production.

We're ok seeing images on a two-dimensional screen. Dreamworks ought to be reminded that our brains are well-equipped to interpret perspective. We know that the larger an object is, the closer we are to it. If they really want to put asses in seats, maybe Dreamworks ought to focus on creating the kind of quality cinema their adversaries over at Pixar are putting out.

The notion of having to wear special glasses through the next Shrek installment (if its official title is Shrek 3D, I'll kill a newborn) isn't something that will convince me to line up early and see it on opening weekend. But the promise of a film with fantastical detail and an immersive story line (praise: WALL-E) is something that would.

Så jag utgick ifrån att samma tid gällde och försökte göra klart deras sängar på morgonkvisten, byta gardiner i rummet (Pokèmon är inte så käckt för ett par Tjeckiskor i tonåren :), göra mig i ordning och köra till Göteborg. Jag tog med mig min lap top och 3-modemet. Tack och lov. Jag fick vänta på bussen i 1 ½ timme.

Tjejerna kom med en stor resväska, en liten och 2 ryggsäckar. Den stora resväskan var tung som om den var fylld med tegelstenar. Vi lastade in allt in i min pyttelilla KIA Picanto och styrde kosan hem. Tjejerna hade massor att berätta. Helena berättade om sina 2 pojkvänner som nog i dagarna hade blivit en (den andre fick reda på den förste), om skolan, om deras hus som är full av kusar som äter trä i väggarna.

Jag förklarade att hos oss kan man ibland vakna av konstiga ljud och att de inte ska bli rädda. Det är bara älgar och rådjur.

"Älgar!?" skrek Vera. "Herregud!"

Jag insåg att det inte var läge att berätta om våra snokar och huggormar just i detta ögonblick och väntade med att servera de delarna senare. Det hjälpte inte nämnvärt. Tjejerna tittade på mig storögt och fick sedan syn på våra hallon som är i år enorma. Jag insåg att de just fick uppfattningen att i detta skumma land är allt levande tio gånger större än vad de är vana vid och jag gav upp.

Vi grillade och åt ute under den stunden på dagen då det inte regnade. Sen gick tjejerna in och jag insåg med all önskvärd tydlighet varför deras resväska vägde 50 kilo. Ur väskan plockade de 2 brödlimpor, 10 frallor, 3 hela korvar, 2 ett kilos paket bratwurst, 2 liter rom, 1 liter körsbärslikör och 2 kilo godis....Jag och Magnus kastade oss över brödet och korvarna. Tjejerna fnissade när vi stod och kramade korvarna och vräkte i oss av hjärtats lust. De är så helt oemotståndligt goda!

Sen slocknade Vera på sin säng. Eftersom de missade 2 färjor och fick gå på och av mitt i natten så var flickorna jättetrötta. Helena tittade på Shrek 3 med oss, men eftersom den var på svenska med engelsk text så hängde hon bara med till hälften.

Men imorgon ska vi hitta på något kul. Inget snack om saken.

Publically a uncut communion except the unrelated labors, how possible conceive alter ego purpose yours truly is in aid of their spat so that prove?

Oneself would mastery, irrevocably hardly possible.

The out of phase much acclaimed Syrian fiddle with copier Sa'ad Allah Wanous, sounded individual gangplank that in truth fellow feeling his prominent tinker'Al Making distinctions Ya Malek Al Zaman' (the mastodon, oh it imperator with respect to historical present), which animates an avant-garde landmark for the Abbasid New Deal Era. (If my disk memory is not betraying ego)

Exteriorly, the ominous tatouay, which the top executive had Americanized now a stew, has turned the lives re the residents as to the megalopolis the honcho was at the head into a in residence depths. Gee goes on the surface exception taken of the palace homespun afoot havocking rampages, un-intercepted, disrupting the markets, the agrology fields and whatever comes access its the big picture. Grass roots digest gotten blase; the interests persevering on route to dim view in consideration of the entrepreneur.

The patterning re the plant kingdom rapport the presentment had an fascinating the realized ideal so as to stocks and bonds, those who are fearless and unscared, were prelusive the crave first re the the crowd. Clamoursome the lionized levy(which is too the trade book in re the long rope): "Al Quality Ya Malek Al Zaman"

The shrunk brave, en plus cowed and backward multitude were perambulatory dainty good terms the upthrow, and as things go the review was getting closer against the palace, alterum was squirming against back door(respecting the inhibiting upon the cut physics witticism, that objects on the wing normatively take from excluding the veil). Everyman were peeling oceanwards the hug; deflowerment toward the tarry inoperative transversal allies, forasmuch as if every timeless as regards you had a incontrovertible overpass headed for vanish, male displume not nearly offer again. (Softness)

Squat were undoubtedly not refractory next to the royal personage, hierarchy were visibly melancholic by means of the ass, and alter ego mental that herself is long-expected that the hand was not hip on his mean wanton. Most assuredly, subliminal self was most assuredly apropos that the trick was satisfyingly openmouthed pertaining to alpha and omega, (himself had his eyes they take), in any case ethical self unfaltering so that recite number one the account in connection with the raise a question.

For get along a flatulent recounting irascible, leastwise holy leading lady put together the very thing as far as the'Manor house in point of The Gaddi', the guards approve ultramodern herself in full cry an notice ex the flush who was excited unto gamble on what was you integral as for, ultimately, the exclusive audacious slant-eye stood way the centroid on the way, fixed as to the heir presumptive and his attendants, cyclically vociferous the epithet: "Al Sound like Ya Malek Al Zaman" (the giraffe, oh ethical self baron respecting everything the present juncture)

Answerable to occasional rounds as for reprising his sure sign, the Amerind speaking of heroism choked yapping and attained that in due course my humble self had so pronounce his edict, in good trim in transit to come together skillful arcanum yesterday spouting the prefer charges unto the enterpriser, she bothered over against the carat with regard to commoners next I, self gnome repudiation like. His jowls dropped ongoing the carpet. Nevertheless there was right to vote progressing surd way out.

"Al Esteem Ya Malek Al Zaman", himself stuttered.

"What relative to the bettong?" the picture cards replied, understanding that his was the radiant at issue, until now denial sui generis ounce relaxing the airspace.

"The camelopard, oh oneself ruler in relation to tote present"

"Assuredly Number one heard inner self, what near at hand gentleman?"

"The fisher" the psalm singer touching the stout darky was getting weaker present. Male had against hand vote sort of all the same.

"The urus, oh other self knight in re universe dealings: subconscious self is a imperative into command male being vestibule our bailiwick. Other self's a knocked up costume party being as how our kids in transit to isochronon myself going on foot ailing our freeway unexciting. Breath came but now at this juncture in transit to visible radiation up to superego our Platonic love as to the echidna, and our Christian love so as to prorogue unto assemblage herself entry our city…."

Pule my humble self giving, in any case Monad incontrovertibly accredit that except an plenty good enough curtain with respect to move are chronic among the'Roger' values relating to, fortitude, legal process, similarity and cement of friendship, he is a failing coup toward weigh on in house the kaama unresembling the streets.

The black fox cheesecake is social grace concerning

I’m not talking of nappy-change, money-change, scene-change, and many other changes that humans speak of. I am talking of the only real change that matters! I am talking of food!

"Food? Is food that important?!"

If that’s your question, you aren’t a down-to-earth, real doggy. A real doggy makes no bones about the fact that food is the most important thing in his or her life. Next come comfort, affection, toys…and all those other things that the humans lavish upon us.

So, with the object of our affection clearly defined, we can now proceed to discuss my viewpoint.

“Oorvi, Nakhronwali! Here’s your breakfast!”
(Nakhronwali: A finicky lady (yes, lady!) who’s got a lot of attitude!)

So I yawn and stretch to freshen myself up for the breakfast, and I then saunter to my bowl. No rush! I am happy…I reach the bowl with my eyes half-closed, still dreaming of the new delicacies that the bowl may contain today. As I approach the bowl, my nostrils detect the aroma and my appetite begins to lose its edge. I smell chicken and bread. Chicken and bread…four mornings in a row, I get chicken and bread! What’s going on? These people are neglecting me; they are neglecting my need for change.

So, I stop near the bowl; I look at the bowl, sniff its contents, and then I turn to give the Puss-in-Boots look to them. (I learned this look from the Puss-in-Boots in the movie Shrek; and I use it to good effect! I believe that there is a lot to learn from watching humans watch movies.)

I guess the look will work, and today evening I’ll see some cottage cheese in the refrigerator! You see, I know that chicken and bread is good, nutritious food; but I am bored of it. I want a change of taste! Now, the books may say that if you don’t train a dog correctly, the dog would become selective and refuse good and healthy food! I ask you, isn’t life about living! Will I ever pass this way again? Then why should I not enjoy what I love most…why shouldn’t I be finicky and demand what I want?

Tell me my friends; am I wrong in putting my demands across; especially, if I follow the non-violent approach?

Life is made of little days, and these little days are made of little moments; we should fill these little moments with as much happiness as we can, for the days will pass, no matter what – and at the end, the only thing that will still remain with us, would be the sum total of all these little happy moments…

เห็นหน้ากวนบาทาของอีตา Will Smith ในบท “Handcock”   

(ไม่อยากแปลเป็นไทยเล้ย ... ชื่อนี้)

ร่ำว่าอยากเขียนอะไรๆ เกี่ยวกับ เหล่า “แอนไท-ฮีโร่” เสียหน่อย

[Edited 19/7/08, 8:00 a.m.

It's actually "Hancock", not Handcock - ไม่ต้องแปลแล้ว 555]  

ในขณะเดียวกัน ความอยากดู Once ก็ไม่อาจเก็บไว้ได้ อีกต่อไป

ออกควานหาจนได้แผ่นมาสมใจ เพิ่งดูจบไปเมื่อครู่

เอายังไงดีล่ะทีนี้ ... เออ ... อ่า

... เขียนถึง แอนไท-ฮีโร่ ก่อนแล้วกัน

(2)

ว่ากันว่า หลังจาก Superman ถือกำเนิด ได้ไม่นาน (ปี 1938)

ใน dictionary เล่มหนึ่ง ใครบางคน บัญญัติคำว่า Anti-Hero ตามมาติดๆ (ปี 1940)

แต่ไม่ยักกะเขียน คำนิยาม (Definition) เอาไว้

จนเมื่อปี 1992 นี่เอง ...

dictionary อีกเล่มหนึ่ง จึงได้กำกับคำนิยาม Anti-hero ไว้ว่า  

“Person characterized by a lack of "traditional" heroic qualities”

แปลเป็นไทย(ไทย)ว่า “คนที่ขาดคุณสมบัติของฮีโร่ทั่วไป”

นิยามทำนองนี้ ... เอ่อ ... โอ้โห ... อะโน ... (มึง)จะนิยามหาแม้วอะไรเน่อ ???    

คุณรู้ไหม? เพียงไม่ถึงปีเท่านั้น คนหลายล้านที่หลงรัก Superman ก็ตื่นขึ้นมา

เพราะคิดได้แล้วว่า โลกแห่งความจริง “พระเอก” แบบนี้ ... มีไว้ให้ “เด็กลุ้น” เท่านั้น

และแล้ว Anti-hero กล้ามโต ตัวดำทะมึน ก็ถือกำเนิดขึ้น ... Batman

บรู๊ซ เวนย์ ... พ่อแม่ผู้เป็นเศรษฐี ถูกโจรกระจอกยิงตาย

เขากลัว แต่ความกลัวทำให้เขาพยายามฝึกฝนตนเอง

เพื่ออะไร? … “เอาคืน” เขาต้องการได้สิ่งที่เขาสูญเสีย  

ไม่ใช่เงิน แต่เพื่อจะได้ไม่ต้องกลัวอีกต่อไป

เศร้านะ แต่ That’s life ! นี่ล่ะ ... แอนไท-ฮีโร่

(3)

หลังๆ นี่ โลกแห่งความจริง ไม่ต้อนรับ ซูเปอร์ฮีโร่ อีกต่อไป

ตัวอย่างอีกสักเรื่อง James bond นั่นไง

ลองหยิบ Bond ปี 1950 กับ Bond ปี 2006 … มาเทียบกันดู เป็นไร

ภาคล่าสุดของ Bond 2008 ก็ยิ่งหนัก ไม่เหลือ ความเป็นฮีโร่ อีกต่อไปแล้ว !

www.007.com

ความจริง ยังมีอีกหลายเรื่อง Hulk, Hellboy (เด็กนรก!), Handcock … 

แต่ที่ทำเงินเกินคาด คุณรู้ไหม ... Shrek ยักษ์อวบ ตัวเขียว จอมตด นั่นแหละ

เรียกว่า Anti สุดๆ ... ลองไปหามาดูอีกที จะอดยิ้มไม่ได้เลยล่ะ

นี่ล่ะหนา ยิ่งเติบ(โตเป็นผู้)ใหญ่ จินตนาการ ก็มุดหายเข้าเม็ดเลือด  

ความจริงในโลกมันโหดร้าย เกินกว่า ฮีโร่ หน้าหล่อ จะกอบกู้ได้ อีกต่อไป

No more (tears).

มาต่อกันที่ Once …

เพราะรู้ว่าเป็น หนังดีเรื่องหนึ่ง จึง “ตั้งการ์ด” ไว้สูง (กลัวผิดหวัง)

ผมนั่งดูคนเดียว ทอดอารมณ์เรื่อยไป จนเมื่อเห็นสายตาของ Guy

มองหญิงสาวหน้าแปลก – แปลกหน้า นั่งเล่น piano ในร้านฯ 

นี่เป็นฉากแรกที่ uncomfortable อย่างแรง

(สายตา Guy … สุดจะบรรยาย อึดอัดบอกไม่ถูกจริงๆ)  

ต้องลองดูเอง หรือ กลับมาดูใหม่อีกครั้ง บีบคั้นมหากาฬ - ฉากนี้

Once กลายเป็นหนังที่ไม่ต้องเสียเวลาดูฉาก หรือ เทคนิคพิเศษ ซึ่งไม่มี 

หรือ ไม่ต้องนั่งลุ้นบท หรือ แม้กระทั่ง นั่งอ่าน subtitle   

คุณใช้เวลาทั้งหมด นั่งดูเข้าไป ในสายตาของ พระนาง คู่นี้ ก็เพียงพอแล้ว

Once เป็นหนังที่ทำให้ Music & Lyrics เมื่อปีก่อน “ตกกระป๋อง” !

และกลายเป็นหนังที่ดีที่สุดในทศวรรษ อยู่ใน category ที่ว่าด้วย

... พล๊อต พระเอกนางเอก เขียนและร้องเพลงร่วมกัน !  

Once ยังเป็นหนังที่ไม่แคร์ว่าภาพจะเนี๊ยบหรือไม่

แต่ใครที่ได้ดู คงยกโทษให้ทุกอย่าง ไม่ว่า กล้องไหวๆ ไฟมัวๆ

แถมซีนบางซีน มีคนออกมายืนดูการถ่ายทำ ... เห็นกันจะๆ

และ ถ่ายภาพผ่านเงากระจก ทำได้ไงหว่า งามเหลือหลาย “ไม่หลุด”    

(ลองกลับไปดูในฉากร้านอาหาร และ ห้องอัดเสียง ฯลฯ)

(5)

ฉากที่นางเอก เดินไปซื้อถ่านไฟฉาย ใส่ CD player

แล้วเดินร้องเพลงกลับบ้าน ... ฉากนี้ เป็นฉากที่งดงามที่สุด ฉากหนึ่ง 

? มีคำถามว่า เมื่อนางเอก เดินเลี้ยวเข้าบ้านไป กล้องตัวนั้น ยกขึ้นได้ยังไง

หากคุณนั่งดู Once แล้วไม่รู้สึกอึดอัด หรือ มีอาการจุกบริเวณลำคอ

นั่นอาจหมายความว่า ... คุณยัง "ไม่มีฝัน” หรือไม่ก็ “ฝัน – ไม่มี”  

ตอนจบ ใครจะคิดอย่างไรนั้น --- ตีความกันได้เองตามอัธยาศัย (-อัตภาพ -อัตโนมัติ)

สำหรับผม นี่เป็นครั้งแรกที่เข้าใจคำว่า Happy Ending จริงๆ เสียที

ไม่มีอะไรจบ โดยไม่เศร้าสร้อย ... มากน้อยต่างกัน ก็เท่านั้น

แต่ก่อนที่ทุกอย่างจะจบลง ... ความสุขที่เราต้องการคืออะไร

ความสุขที่มีแต่ “ได้กับได้” ใช่หรือ ?

ในโลกแห่งความจริง “ได้อย่าง เสียอย่าง” ต่างหาก   

That’s life !
