Garethism no. ...oh, who knows?

Walk into the bedroom where John is watching TV:

"Dad, I love you more than any movie..."

I look down and notice the DVD for Haunted Mansion hidden behind his back, and start snickering. Of course, the next words are:

"but can I watch this when you're done?"

And the manipulation begins...

(Actually it began the day he was born, he's just enunciating it better. XD )

I guess the kids got Happy (crappy) Meals yesterday which included toys from the Fantastic Four movie. Angus has been having fun making the Invisible Woman change colors from blue to clear; last night he put her in a cup of water and stuck it in the freezer to make sure she was blue this morning. He was trying to thaw her out of her ice cube when I left this morning.

Definitely a movie I'm going to hold off til the DVD or HBO showing (not that I get out much to the movies anyway). The crappy Hanna-Barbera 'toon from my youth caused me to loose all interest in these characters and as much as I liked Ioan Gruffudd in the Hornblower series, he seems too young to be Richard Reed. For me, any viewing of this is going to be overlaid with Venture Brothers parody of it, Ice Station Impossible.

Santa Cruz is prettier and has more character, granted, but hey, HB is my hometown!
