camwynWent for walk yesterday as a) car was in shop for recall repairs to seats and b) had been inside house long enough due to snow. Unca Cecil doesn't half begin to cover it... anyway. Went for walk, dropped off one-shot camera @ drugstore so as to have photos to scan & show penpals in Wuhan, HK. (HK penpal only recently saw snow falling, on trip to Harbin/Beijing; Wuhan penpal just wants to see where I live.) Stopped @ video store in shopping area w/drugstore on way out. Was hoping to find The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. Failed to do so, so headed out of store.
Route out ran along wall of new releases. Blinked briefly @ banks of Undercover Brother as was not aware this had come out on DVD. Kept going, & spotted latest atrocity from Disney Live Action. Had dog in baseball uniform clutching bat in teeth on cover, plus raccoon. Am sucker for nearly anything w/raccoon on it, so stopped to look... Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch.
First thought through my head was 'you know, if it's REALLY his fetch, it should look like another golden retriever rather than a raccoon'. Then brain recovered and informed me that this was an Uplifting Family Friendly piece of Disney live-action shite.
Oh well. Would have been interesting to see kiddie idiot baseball movie interrupted by arrival of medieval death-messengers & ensuing supernatural mayhem as team forced to turn to ancient Celtic folklore to venture into realm beneath hills & retrieve the dog. Though even if Disney went with said plot, most likely stupid arsehats would require retrieval of dog from Annwn to coincide w/last inning of critical game instead of more traditional time frame so as to have happy feel good sporty ending.
Disney live action division should be NIBBLED TO DEATH BY WEEVILS.

No! No! Bad!
Plus, Seanan's probably already beat me to it. With a novel. And an obscure poem. :>
Mmmmm, weevils.
