Let me mention again how much I loved the movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I saw it. We are definitely getting this movie poster for our home:

It’s been so very cold for the last two weeks that I’ve been really badly unproductive. No blogging, for sure- that only results in icicle fingers. Basically this is all we’ve been doing:

Saturday night we went to see The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.

This is movie is AWESOME. There is so much about this movie that is perfection. The set, the costumes, and the casting! You know it’s a good movie when you keep thinking back to it for days. I’m so inspired!!

I took my younger sister to see City of Ember yesterday afternoon. I enjoyed the book so I wanted to see it. I thought it was very good, and that it did stay true to the book. The City of Ember is an underground world that hasn’t had anything new come into it in 200+ years. Everything is patched and mended, but can’t be patched and mended much more. It’s a neat concept and the set and costumes were really cool to look at. Well done! There were a few silly bits they could have done without, but overall we both liked it.

The movie is going pretty much unnoticed though. I wasn’t even sure it was out yet due to lack of advertising. That’s a shame, I don’t suppose they’ll make a People of Sparks!

Anyway, here are a couple of thrift finds from Friday. An old school Sesame Street jar, and two matching Anchor Hocking bowls.

New art. Very serious business.

BATMAN! They’re from Pictochat on the Nintendo DS last night while we were sitting in the theater waiting for The Dark Knight to begin. Photographed by Alina, who also drew the lovely sailboat scene and such.

The Dark Knight was marvelous!!
