Well, I finished my work (well 75% of it) so normal posting is back.
To celebrate its completion, I watched March of the Penguins.
I cannot believe they are marketing this film to children. It is just full of death. I'm not going to go into detail here, but it was like watching Bambi all over again (a film that I have only seen once since it was too traumatic to me as a child when Bambi's mother was shot). I'm just envisioning children unwrapping the DVD over the Holidays, putting it on and just crying their eyes out. I didn't cry myself, but I certainly winced a lot.
Maybe the current crop of children are harder souls than I.
