The last week and a half have been temptation free. Visiting family and in-laws the television was on but with nothing of interest and it was easy to not watch. I finished two whole books (A House for Mr. Biswas and Wicked) and have begun a third in earnest (old standby fave: The Scarlet Letter). After a full ten days of traveling and being away from home I picked up some burritos from our favorite restaurant and we all curled up on the couch and watched the Luc Besson (of my favorite movie: The Fifth Element) movie: Arthur and the Invisibles. It was perfect and while I’ve strayed from the larger goal I’m reconnecting with the purposes movies (perhaps not so much TV) serve: to bring us together in a shared experience, leave us hopeful and reminded of what we’re good for. I loved it and have recently discovered Tim Burton is doing Alice in Wonderland to come out in 2010: be still my beating heart.

With Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, no less!

I know. Oh, man. I will see it in the theater. I will.

Have you seen Wasabi? That’s one of my favorite Besson films.
