I've become very critical of films lately. Jason and I watch at least three movies a week. And, with the wonder that is Netflix, we're able to actually find the ones we want to see instead of settling for the recent releases along the walls of the video rental store. Jason has been keeping a list for well over a year of each movie we've seen and what he would rate them on a scale of one to ten, ten being the highest. Every couple months he sends me the list, I rate them without knowledge of his ratings, and we compare scores. I'm much more difficult to please than he is, and he's no walk in the park. Most movies he only gives between a five and a seven. My average rating is probably between a four and a six. Boogeyman and The Abandoned got zeros because I found no redeeming qualities in either of them.
Anyway, my question is this: If you could ask everyone in the world to watch a movie, what movie would it be? Mine would be Dancer in the Dark. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and rent it. It is a gorgeous film. Most movies I'll turn off when the credits begin to roll. I didn't turn Dancer in the Dark off. I sat there through the credits in shock and emotional turmoil.

The only near-drama we had was Jason's grandmother breaking down during the prayer when her departed husband was mentioned. I felt bad for her because she seemed so lonely and sad throughout the dinner and even afterward. I can't even imagine what she's going through right now. I think that she thinks everyone should be missing him as much as she does, but that's just not possible. He was her partner for sixty years. No matter how much Jason or his mother miss him, they'll never miss him as much as she does.
We had our first snow of the year this evening. Jason and I decided to walk off Thanksgiving dinner at the park with Ferguson. Just as it started getting dark (5:30 or so), the snow started falling. It has stopped since then, but the Weather Channel promises we'll have much more tomorrow. This works out perfectly since I'll be staying inside all day.
I'm volunteering for the Quixote Humane adoption clinic at Petsmart on Saturday. Judy just sent me a reminder via e-mail. We're going to have about a dozen dogs to show off. I'm determined to talk someone into adopting one of them.
