22...
...nearly THREE WEEKS TO GO.
All of a sudden, six days of holidays don't seem like very long. A number of entertainment options have come to light... damn, I think I'm going to need the extended Easter weekend just to start making sense of all this.
Of course, whenever you take a moment to do something else, the spectre of all this crap about government plans to monitor phone calls, emails and web site visits descends on your day - plans that effectively turn us into China or North Korea. Oh, and the TV sucks, apart from the "new" South Park that I just have to sleep through...
Uh Oh - Trivia Nuggets... Holy crap - Despicable Me made more money, world-wide, than the following films... Home Alone... ...Empire Strikes Back... Ghost... Saving Private Ryan, and, to top it all, Jaws. Yeah, some of these are pre-blockbuster-era, but damn. That's some mountain to be looking down on.
However, these movies made more: Night At The Museum... Mamma Mia... and 2012. And the frigging Smurfs.
And no, I'm not going to inflate the take for The Hunger Games. I don't feel even remotely inclined to contribute to "the latest big thing" that I hadn't heard of until a month or two ago...
