Taken yesterday, but my gateway from email->Flickr->blog didn’t work. Testing to see if was a temporary problem and all is well now, or if I need to actually spend time troubleshooting. After an hour in the line here, we successfully got into Bumbershoot and spent the rest of the day there and fun was had by all. Today and tomorrow Alex and I will be staying home while Amy, Brandy and perhaps one of Amy’s friends do the Bumbershoot thing.
It was a lot of fun. Alex payed attention for a bit, then fell asleep, then payed attention again for a bit. So, the movie itself. For those who haven’t heard of it, it is basically a no-commentary, almost no-words documentary where they just had camera crews shadow four different babies from four completely different parts of the world for their first year or two and see what they saw. So basically you get 79 minutes of watching four babies be cute, and noticing the differences (and similarities) between the four kids and their families. And, so, well, it was cute. As long as you went into it with the expectation that all you would be getting was an extended look at babies doing stuff, then you got exactly what you expected and you could enjoy it and go “awww” at all the appropriate moments and cock your head to the side when you saw one of the non-american babies doing something you would never (or at least rarely) see here. (For instance, fighting with a goat and a chicken over who gets a bed or something.) Anyway, cute movie. Probably more so if there is, is about to be, or recently was an infant in your life. This is long gone from the theaters by now, but if you are into the “hey, let me spend time looking at something cute that doesn’t even pretend to have a plot or a point” kind of thing, then go ahead and rent this. :-) |
