just watched the first trailer released for the upcoming movie "alice in wonderland" starring helen bonham carter and johnny depp. they are both seasoned actors and very good at portraying drama, so this casting practically guarantees a good performance. the trailer confirmed my expectations. johnny depp does "crazy" to perfection, in ANY role, and the Mad Hatter role is perfect for him.
i'm gonna be sitting on pins and needles, waiting for this movie's release in march of next year. this one will be worth the hassle of going to a movie theatre, in order to see it right away.
meanwhile .... back home .... my nephew john, sister judy and i - and maybe some of john's friends - are planning to watch the latest harry potter movie this friday, on john's birthday. it's a 3-hour movie, and i don't expect it to be nearly as good as the first lord of the rings movie, but nevertheless, i liked reading the harry potter series, and it will be loads of fun to watch it with a few young, teenaged boys.
on friday morning, we will be standing up pallets, propping up sheets of plywood and arranging other stuff in the open front pasture, to make a suitable playing field.
on saturday morning, the game begins. i was going to play with them, but just don't want to put on all the necessary layers of clothing protection, in this abominable florida heat. i would rather get a big glass of iced tea and watch from a window, in air-conditionned comfort!
rocco is getting psyched, because he is watching me pack up our travel gear and he can tell that i am getting ready to go on the move again. he just LOVES travelling! it's too bad i can't take him with me to holland, but that wouldn't be feasible. he will be happy to hang out at mom's place and play with her dog. the two of them play very well together, and it does rocco good to interact with another dog, once in a while.
between mom's dog and the dogs belonging to the other friends we will be visiting, rocco is going to have a month-long "play date." he is going to just HATE coming home again, to this quiet, empty house!
i'm gonna hate it, too! but now, all i need to do is look forward to the next month, and get ready to enjoy it.
