We saw Pan’s Labyrinth last night. If you haven’t seen previews or the website check it out. I might have built the movie up too much in my head beforehand, but I still enjoyed it. It was very dark and graphic. I think some of the violent parts might have been due to a cultural difference? Here we are used to movies cutting immediately before something graphic occurs and we are left with our imagination to fill in what was implied would occur. Also, some of the scary characters would scare children from restless sleep into adulthood. It scared me, I think I just about squeezed Matt’s hand right off.
Writer/Director/Producer Guillermo Del Toro’s sketchbook is viewable on the website and it’s worth checking out.
Now I have a free weekend, for once, and hope to get a lot of artwork done. It’s funny how unless I am sharing what I work on online, I feel like I am not being as productive as I could be. I have been really busy with my artomat paintings and this and that project but I just haven’t been able to post pictures, sorry.
Oh, and it is almost like a real winter this week. It has been pretty consistently in 20s and we’ve had an accumulation of of snow over the week. We might go sledding this sometime in the next couple days :)
