Busa Simba!
Went to see TLK IMAX this afternoon. It's easily one of my all-time favourite movies, and seeing it for the first time years on a screen the size of a small planet is something of an experience. I wish I'd seen the IMAX version of Beauty and the Beast - although I at least have it on DVD. For reasons I've never quite figured out, The Lion King has always been a leader in the tear-jerkage stakes for me. Today it had me blinking 'em back in under a minute. Ah, well... (see also

Other news: cheapo game rip-offs - Jo had picked a some of these, and we played a couple. First, Guess Who? - much like the original (slightly less faces, I think), but the balance is horribly wrong (ie 2/3 of the faces are male, so if one player gets a boy and the other a girl, the latter always wins. Duh). The second was a Monopoly-style game which suffers from the problem that it's far too difficult to acquire money (you don't even get any for passing Go!) and buy stuff is far too expensive - the game ended before I got twice around the board! Best square is the one where you get $200 for "Watching the statue pis" (sic) featuring a picture of a statue cherub with appropriately-placed fountain nozzle - and this is aimed at young kids? Even at £2 each, they're really taking the pis.
