Much against my best judgement and personal preferences, last Friday
my son and I went to see
“TMNT” – the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. After several days
of working his way through all of his usual teenage tricks (puppy eyes, sulks,
showing me the trailer to get me interested, wheedling…), Paul finally got
around to offering me a straight trade. He agreed to watch two Shakespeare
videos before Monday plus giving me a shoulder rub in exchange for my taking
him to see that movie.
He absolutely loved “TMNT”. I have seen worse movies; there were some funny
bits. After picking over my Shakespeare movie collection, Paul dutifully watched
“Twelfth Night” (1996 – Director: Trevor Nunn, Starring: Helena Bonham-Carter, Richard E. Grant, Nigel Hawthorne, Ben Kingsley) and
“Richard III” (1995 – Director: Richard Loncraine, Starring:
Ian McKellen, Annette Bening, Jim Broadbent, Robert Downey Jr.) the next
day. He said Richard III was evil and that he had seen worse movies.
The shoulder rub was lovely.
