But farewell, Angelina, the sky's embarrassed

Somebody want to explain to me why I dreamed fanfiction for Phyllis Gotlieb's A Judgment of Dragons (or Emperor, Swords, Pentacles or The Kingdom of the Cats—the point is, Qumedni and Solthree leopards and Ungrukh) last night?

I mean, I am occasionally not human in my dreams. But I am not usually an alien-abducted big cat. And I didn't even realize whose future universe I'd been in until this afternoon.

Right. I didn't think so.

I love the brief cut back to the pedalo rental man looking at his watch and staring out to sea.

It is one of the perfect movies.

The version of the film released on DVD, at least in the US, took out some of the shots showing the inhabitants of Belleville in their most monstrous obese grossness, when the grandmother and the dog go to the lunch counter, which I thought was very funny.

I suspect the European-format release would be intact, as their sensibilities would not be offended by seeing Americans portrayed as obese gluttons engulfing enormous food portions. But I don't know that for sure.
