If There Is A Dragon On The Poster, Chances Are It Is About A Dragon

Last night, we all went to see Eragon. And I was promised this movie was not about a dragon…even though 90% of the movie, dragons are shown and/or talked about.

Problems with the movie: (WARNING: spoilers ahead…kinda)

This movie was about a dragon. Good thing if you like dragons. Bad thing if you don’t. I do not enjoy dragons.

There was only one preview at the beginning of the movie. And I can’t even remember what it is for. All I do remember is that it was nothing that I was interested in viewing.

We went to the late show. Not good. If it was a Friday night and no one had to do anything the next day, that would be one story, but to go during the week is just suicidal. We are all getting too old. I woke up late for work, and had to come with straight hair. Boo. Hard to win all my divorce client’s over with straight hair….I am kidding. I could win anyone over in straight or curly hair.

I think Satan was cast as one of the bad guys. Very creepy/ugly. Where is Jude Law or even Jack Black?

A review I read summed up the set perfectly.
“For my part, I wondered why the evil king settled for such a crappy interior decorating job on his castle. His throne appeared to be set in lumpy, hardened lava and the castle lighting was dim and unflattering. What's the point of taking control of the world if you're going to live in what looks like an exhibit for apes at the Evil Zoo?”

There is no kiss at the end. There is a moment that gives you hope. But no. What kind of movie ends like that?

Don’t worry, there were some good things:

The sandwich that I got to be a part of. I did strategically placed myself to be in that situation. Took a lot of work, and just the right amount of pausing, but it made the movie bearable.

Ben’s fast driving. He enjoyed it, and we won the race.

At least we got to be all together for Sarah’s birthday.

The very merriest of Christmases to you. Here’s to lots of turkey, It’s a Wonderful life, mounds of wrapping paper, time off work, and everything you asked Santa for and more.

Love you, no matter what holiday it is.
