After reading all the reviews I decided I couldn't wait to see the movie with my grandkids, they living in FL and I not knowing when I will get to visit them. I assume by then it will be on DVD. So I decided I would head to the theater. Not having anyone I could call and ask to come with me, it made the decision easy. Senior prices in Chicago-$8.50 a pop plus $2 to park, but I didn't mind the $2 as I was charged $19 for 30 minutes when I went in for my shot on Thursday.
So onto the movie. One of the reviewers told the story of the animation clip that was done to show the producer? funder? whoever. It is definitely a must see! The panda and his master a raccoon (I think) have a chop stick battle over Chinese dumplings! Best animated footage I ever saw! I will watch the movie again when it comes out on DVD just to see that sequence. Another cute idea is the use of the animals for the martial arts postures themselves: Crane, tiger, monkey and a praying mantis (which reminded me of Jiminy Cricket). I don't know of any panda pose so I am not sure how he got chosen to be the long awaited Warrior. And I am not sure why the villagers were pigs and geese. The villain looked like a snow leopard. The background scenery was very well done. The moral of the story: All you need to be is who you are. Sigh...How I wish I understood that well before entering into relationships with men.
So I had a good afternoon, I went to the show because the heat and humidity and my apartment is not that well cooled, one wall air conditioner in the dining room definitely does not cool the house. I have a standing fan in my bedroom and a ceiling fan also. But I think I will turn on the air conditioner tonight.
Sleep cool tonight. Lisa said that it was in the 60's in Idaho and 40's at night. Good weather for me.
So an interesting day for the First Day of the Rest of my Life
