Knitting

So a while ago Anne picked up the knack for knitting. Often while we sit and watch a movie Anne will half watch, while her fingers continue to knit. Anne doesn’t knit scarfs or blankets or hats (although she could). Instead she knits wash cloths! They’re really neat wash cloths and some them have cool designs on them. And as you wash with them, because of the way they are made they stretch. Yeah, knit wash cloths are the best!

Yeah, this what happens when you write like people in movies. But who can blame them? I like beating on the keyboard too.

I Came Here to see a Man Beat on Gorrilas

Not whatever that was.

The other night we watched the new Tarzan movie.  This was a sad mistake.  Not only was the movie quite anti-Catholic (which is truly annoying in this era of so called inclusion. Apparently we are to be accepting of anything today, except for religion), but also the movie was a total travesty in it’s portrayal of Tarzan.

I greatly enjoyed the original Tarzan books by Edgar Burrows, and I could have lived with the serious dubbing down of the ape mans superhuman powers (I mean what kind of Tarzan can’t beat Akut?), but the total alteration of his character is unforgivable.  Tarzan was not the sad Englishman who reviled his former way of life and reluctantly embraced his past as he was portrayed in the movie.  Rather, he was a proud, but noble man who took great joy in life.  He was a man of honor, even as a wild man.

He loved his home and his wild ways and did the much greater feat of giving up what was most dear to him to please his wife.  Indeed he would not even have worn more than a loin clothe, but to please Jane.  Not that Tarzan ever enjoyed killing other men, rather he always knew it was unnatural and avoided it as much as possible.

Tarzan was also not a naturalist as he is always portrayed in modern media.  He liked animals, but he understood he was above them and had no problem killing them, even killing them for sport.  The animals followed him if not because they liked him, because they knew he was far more powerful than them.  The Tarzan in the book was greatly different than the one portrayed in the movie and this is greatly disappointing.

Also why was Nicholas Rokoff not his villain?

Suffice it to say, I was not impressed.
