I'm going to watch The Grinch.


I just LOVE the Jim Carrey version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, it soooo delightful. I remember when I first saw in the theatres on Thanksgiving, I couldn't stop laughing. It's SOOOOO much better than out dated cartoon of the 60s. That version sucks! It doesn't bother to explain why the Grinch hates Christmas so much. I never understood why he hated Christmas! Thankfully, the Jim Carrey version leaves no stone unturned and explains everything within the first five minutes. Did I mention its directed by the brilliant Ron Howard? That guy is my favorite director! He is infinitely better than that hack Spielberg!
The part that always touches me the most in The Grinch is when he comes to his sense and realizes Christmas is a truly wonderful thing. I always get a tear in my eye.
I must have seen this movie at least 100 times. I watch at least 10 times during the month of December. Well, time to watch this masterpiece of masterpieces.
And if I have time I think I will pop in the joyful Polar Express. I love the "Hot Chocolate" musical number.

You should learn flash or something and create your own short animations. Just go to borders and pic up a book. Post the animations to your site. Trust me dude, you can do it!
