Movies

I've seen two in the last several days-- an unusual thing, even on a rental basis. Last Thursday the kids and I made the pilgrimage up to Evanston, to play with some friends and watch Pirates of the Caribbean. We've seen it before, but it was worth watching again; great fun.

Then on Saturday, Bruce & I rented Calendar Girls. If you haven't seen the trailers, it's about a collection of very proper British matrons who, in an effort to raise funds for the local hospital (in memory of one woman's recently deceased husband), pose for a pinup calendar in the altogether. Only their very proper hobbies (strategically placed baked goods, flower arrangements, etc.) stand between them and... impropriety. Good story-- true, even-- and well told. Not a perfect Hollywood body among them, either; simply average women, aged 45-60+, which made it (to my mind) all the more effective.

Here's the question for the day: What do you think of the idea? Is that something you'd do? And why or why not?
