Wallace. Gromit. Joy.
I took the lovely Mrs. Pinata and the two little pinatas to see "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" last night. We had an absolute blast. These days, I very rarely take the family to the movies, as we wind up blowing about $40 to see a movie we may or may not like. Generally, I'm more inclined to wait the three of four months until the DVD comes out and we can watch it at home for $5. So, we generally only go if we really want to see something.
What a hoot. I've been a fan of Wallace and Gromit for a long time - in fact, Vinnissimo and I saw one of the first ones at an animation festival when we were in college in Miami - and this only serves to further the greatness that is Wallace and Gromit. It's the sort of movie where you don't feel that guys from the marketing department were sitting around the table during the writing sessions.
Only Aardman animation could convince my kids to pretend to be rabbits this morning.

The great thing about W and G is that they FINALLY answered that nagging question, how DOES one make a claymation penguin appear evil? (Answer at the end of this post)
Hey, I keep forgetting to tell you guys (and please don't let this brief interruption staunch any other Wallace and Gromit love that may be forthcoming)... last weekend on NPR some guy was talking about blogs and their political effect, etc. I don't remember the exact context, but he said something about how blogging is a solitary activity in which the blogger can pretty much choose to ignore the perspectives of others. And I think he actually said something about blogging rarely being a collaborative endeavor ...
I thought The Hombres. Awwwww!
ANSWER: by putting a rubber glove on his head, of course!
