Mr. Watkins came round last night for curry and a film. He wanted to watch something called The Astronaut Farmer. He had no idea if it was good or not, but just liked the name! At first I thought this was going to be a hilarious comedy about an astronaut working on a farmyard with cows, pigs and chickens. Either that or a movie about a farmer who goes onto the moon – something like “The Wurzels in Space”.
Alas it was none of these, it was a serious drama starring the man from Bad Santa – although this time he wasn’t swearing, drinking and pissing on the floor. It was about him building a space rocket in his back garden and how his little project was affecting his hick family.
Rubbish film and one we turned off after the first hour. I didn’t find out whether or not he made it into space, or just gave up and went back to being a hick. Quite frankly, I don’t care.

I loved this movie as a kid. It was rude, funny, childish and very silly. Would I still enjoy it, now that I am an (apparently) mature...

Roman has a new favourite film!
This morning, he sat in this run, silently watching a movie I put on. He was enthralled! The title of the film... The Velveteen Rabbit!
I don't know if it'll beat his all time favourite - Keeping Up Appearances - but as far as movies go, he loves this one.
I have already found something...

I can't wait to see this.
Claire and I will definitely be making a trip to the cinema for this one. I wonder if we'll be allowed to bring Roman...
