According to SciFi Wire, Disney is making yet another attempt to re-imagine “Escape to Witch Mountain.” You’d have thought that the last attempt (the purple monstrosity) would have cured them of this, but no. “Race to Witch Mountain” is described thusly:
“Andy Fickman is on board to direct what is described as an action thriller, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and AnnaSophia Robb. The adaptation, written by Matt Lopez, revolves around a pair of paranormal-powered siblings (Ludwig and Robb) who, with the help of a Las Vegas cab driver (Johnson), go on the run from a diabolical group of men who wish to exploit their abilities. Hinds will play the nefarious leader of the pack.”
Argh! Did they even read the book or are they working from the film again? …And “The Rock” is playing the Mr. O’Day character? Who’s playing Uncle Benet? Vin Diesel?
*grumble*

Today I was watching High School Musical (’cause everyone I’ve spoken with loved it…Yes, Mom. It’s safe for you to watch.) and something occurred to me. You know you’re getting older when you are watching a film like that and you think that the guy who plays the Coach is cute. That’s right, I’m starting to think that the parents are attractive. As far as the kids go, I thought that the “Composer” of the musical was cute as a button. It was a fun film. I see why everyone likes it.
Anyway, here’s today’s Good and Bad:
Good: My two big errands today were accomplished successfully and with a lot less stress than I thought.
Bad: My Kitty-Girl is very old, and she’s starting to have trouble keeping her food down. I need to take her to the vet and have her checked out. I’m very worried about her. I wonder how many cat years 16 human years translate to.
High School Musical, cat

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this, but I love silent film. Rudolph Valentino, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin…all geniuses. So, expect to hear more on this topic in the future.
Oh, and I must own this shirt.
