Slumdog & Snowdog

Slumdog

Slumdog

We saw the much hyped Slumdog tonight…and it was worth the buzz.  It would be hard not to like the movie.  With one exception…the suspense music from “Who Wants To Be  A Millionaire,”   which unfortunately plays a central role in the film.  Couldn’t they have picked another game show? Outside of that, the movie had a great story, acting and cinematography.   I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes best picture at the Golden Globes.  

There was a toilet scene in the movie that left most people in the theatre groaning.  When I got home and looked up the director, it all made sense.  The director is Danny Boyle, the man behind Trainspotting, and ‘The Worst Toilet In Scotland’ (see image below).  What’s with Boyle and toilets?  Read for yourself.

Snowdog

Today was also the second big snow storm of the year.  Russert must be picking up on my own love of weather.  He sat by the window watching the snow all day until we finally took him out…
