However, when the general plot was explained, I got a clear picture of what had been going on!<BR/><BR/>I think it'll take very clever movie-making to get the story reasonably clear, but then again, it could become much easier to understand with visual help than it was just from the written version.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-39513194396716919962008-12-31T13:14:00.000-06:002008-12-31T13:14:00.000-06:00I'm really looking forward to the movie of The Tim...I'm really looking forward to the movie of The Time Traveller's Wife. One of my favourite books. I hope they can do it justice as it's not going to be easy for some people to follow. As usual you will get to see it before us poor relations in the UK.<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year and thanks for some really interesting and provocative posts (in the sense of giving me something to think about). Looking forward already to whatever juicy tidbits you offer up next year.<BR/><BR/>Foggy and freezing (well only -2C) West Yorkshire, signing off for 2008.<BR/><BR/>xxRossahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121831076599069841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-82982891410561786942008-12-31T10:49:00.000-06:002008-12-31T10:49:00.000-06:00Robert ~~ You're right!

Button item today, I had it tagged for tomorrow, but after doing "the void" thing I decided to swap it with the New Year's Eve type post I'd planned to use today. I didn't consciously think about what you've commented on, but subconsciously perhaps I realised it. <BR/>:-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-20295431010653486892008-12-31T10:45:00.000-06:002008-12-31T10:45:00.000-06:00AN ~~~ Yes - I remarked elsewhere on how that pic ...AN ~~~ Yes - I remarked elsewhere on how that pic of Obama brought to mind Honey Ryder (aka Ursula Andress). Along with Venus Rising from the Waves, too, a pattern has formed - in our minds. Our minds recognise and look for patterns I suppose, because the whole of the universe is really one big pattern (I think!) :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-21755325048728521382008-12-31T10:07:00.000-06:002008-12-31T10:07:00.000-06:00Twilight,Thanks for dropping into the void for few...Twilight,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for dropping into the void for few minutes and posting on the site.<BR/><BR/>I hadn't thought of it before, but isn't Button's life something like Capricorn, in that he gets younger as he gets older?
