Dagnabit, I’m always a day late and a dollar short. Even though I was just there on Saturday, I was completely oblivious…to the ongoing Guy Maddin retrospective at the Walker Art Center. Unfortunately I’ve already missed the Isabella Rossellini film that played last Wednesday. We also skipped out on this past weekend’s MONDO juggling festival. I know the little man would have enjoyed it (much more than I would have), but we were too busy taking care of the nitty gritty of daily life. I’m determined not to miss out on everything however. Next weekend the husband and I are planning to take my folks on a little adventure. They rarely make it to the big city (Minneapolis seems so dinky to me, especially after visiting real cities…they really need to get out more). And that’s just as well, as my stepmother used to make my Dad carry his police revolver with him to such “sketchy” venues as the Target Center. But frequently theaters in Minneapolis are the only ones in the area showing the films they’d like to see. So we’ll be taking them to The Triplets of Belleville. With the added bonus of Destino, “the lost collaboration between Walt Disney and Salvador Dali”, screening beforehand. That should be quite interesting.
