Sun 25 April 2004 - Instant movie review
The Cat In The Hat. Not many kids’ movies on at the moment, and Jeremy chose this one to while away some time on ANZAC Day afternoon. A couple of semi-amusing moments that just — just raised a smile, but otherwise it was proof that Hollywood has an uncanny ability to take a classic book and make a crap movie out of it, and this one with too many US-centric references to really work in the rest of the English-speaking world. On the bright side, Jeremy enjoyed it, and I caught up on a little sleep.
Footy tipping: 6 out of 8. Not bad, not bad, though from talking to the barber yesterday, I think he might have done better. At least, he did pick Carlton. Thankfully he’s not in either of the competitions I’m in.
Gmail. Okay, probably not a hoax after all. Those who want to try it out before the masses get to it could do worse than to sign up for a Blogger account — they are currently offering Gmail access to Blogger users. (I dabble with Blogger occasionally).
