Unplugged Chit Chat Thread

Just got home from seeing Christopher Robin. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Was a bit "weirded out" by the appearance of some of the characters at first (thought the most "off" from looking like themselves were Pooh, Eeyore, and Tigger, who had almost no/very faint stripes???), but soon forgot that. Chuckled the whole way through at the clever jokes, marveled at how "close" the voices sounded, and was very touched by the underlying message of the whole thing. Was a bit draggy and slow to start, but got better, and immersed me from then on.

Would love to hear anybody else's thoughts if you go to see it!

Did you stay through the credits? I heard there was a surprise!
 


We plan to see Christopher Robin this week. We would have gone opening weekend but Jen was doing GISH (gishwhes.com), a huge international scavenger hunt. It ended at 2am today so she has been totally focused on that. She'll probably sleep half of today and then get back in the swing of things so maybe tomorrow or Wednesday we'll get to the movie.

For sure! And I'm corny enough to believe I like to "honor" those who crafted what I just saw by doing so - especially if I appreciated what I saw! :)

We do so for the same reason - Maggie’s daughter (my stepdaughter) is in the business so we always stay to see her name scroll up when we watch one of the movies that she has worked on. She is just about to start on Star Wars lX. She works in costume, special effects and creature effects.

Even though not a Star Wars fan (Kevin is my Spirit Animal in this!) :), that is SO cool! I certainly appreciate the talent, hard work, and craft! Wish her challenging but rewarding endeavors!

She has worked on several major movies including various Batman, Star Wars & Harry Potters and also on The Justice League to name a few. At the Warner Bros. Studio Tour here in the UK there is a large Harry Potter attraction and there is a display of wands with every wand being named after a person who worked on the movies and she has one there with her name on it. On Star Wars VII she was one of the main people responsible for making and looking after Chewbacca's costume. As you can imagine we are very proud of her.

As someone who took an especial liking in the beginning to Chewbacca, I am especially thankful for her work!

Same with me for my friend. My friend is a voice actor and has done voices in Star Wars. I get very excited seeing his name.
 
Totally not Disney related, I MISS My kids. This is the first sleepover at my parents house in 6 months! They come home tonight, but ugh! I went out with a friend yesterday to occupy my time. My dog and I are both going crazy. They should be home in about 6 hours!

I hope that you treated yourself during your free time. It is not quite the same...but, when our dogs (last one and this one) went to the kennel...it is like the softest noises that we miss the most.
It was hard enough a couple of days ago when Oreo had a drop-off vet appointment. She had updates to her vaccines and tested for ear infection (14 days of in ear medicine plus a couple of other things. She gets upset me for hours after each daily ear treatment...until treat time.
 
Anyone has tips in figuring out moving boxes? We are going to get rid a lot of items soon so its mostly half of the kitchen items, master bedroom (2 other rooms are guest rooms), and the living room. We are looking rent soon (will have a better location to move in the next couple of weeks).
