...and away

i saw "Up" while i was home. i'm not sure if it was the low, low, price of $6 that influenced my normally synical and critical head, or if it was the 6 pack of spotted cow my mom helped my sneak in, but i loved - loved loved loved - that movie. and, i didn't love it because of the chubby kid, or the talking dogs, or any of those sympathy-inducing ploys. instead, my heart was pulled along by the incredibly touching love story that moved the entire movie from start to finish. normally, i don't fall for these disney/pixar statement movies (see "Wall-E") and i particularly struggle to make it through a film when the sound cuts out 2 times, and the film strip falls off the wheel, etc. but, i loved it. enough said. go see it. now, enough said.
