[mousepod]

OK. Let me be the first to post the sad truth that the movie was not so good. While a few of us liked bits and pieces of it, we all agreed that for the most part it was a mess. The animation was pretty and at times beautiful, as evidenced by the trailer, and the music had its moments, but from a narrative perspective - blah. To say that there were plot holes would be an understatement. To paraphrase Heather, it was as if they took a long book and randomly selected a few pages from several chapters and animated them, without any explanation of how they were linked. I sure wish there had been a Le Guin fan among the group last night to explain what the heck was going on.

On the other hand - I was delighted (as always) by the folks who turned up. Other than the film itself, it was a fun night filled with great conversation, interesting sodas and lots of "coming attractions." Expect another mousepod movie night in a couple of weeks.
