Another Day

Fee Fye Fo Fum - I smell the Dow rise like the sun. Yes that's true. Yesterday the stock market rose up high and gave some a little faith. Don't get too excited. This is normal for an unstable time. This will happen a few more times, then it will sink and then rise again.
We are living through very bizarre times, and we will get through this as we have gotten through other catastrophes. This one though is man made, not like that global warming (wink).
October is a time for leaves to turn, goblins to crawl and Christmas trees to be up at the local mall? Yes, in a mall I work near, Macy's has already put up around ten large Christmas trees, fully decorated with holiday decorations and doo-dads all around on sale. At first I was annoyed and bothered, then I immediately realized that the stores have no choice. With an economy in near ruins, and Americans (who celebrate) want to have their holidays. Perhaps items can be bought a little at a time.
The film industry doesn't seem to be hit by the financial collapse. Films come out weekly like they were all in a cookie jar that an anxious child tipped over. If they were made, and marketing dollars went out, then I guess Hollywood has no choice but to try to put those dollars back in. I guess vaudeville was a success after the depression hit.
It's interesting to me that people still can justify entertainment spending when things are so tight.
I'm not pointing fingers, I LOVE movies. I'm just wondering if escaping from reality is the reason. Even when the economy is doing well, people love to be entertained. Americans work hard and so they want to play hard. That can justify one's existence. Well, enjoy.
I've read that if we do not comply with the bailout martial law will be carried out to ensure this countries survival.
Let freedom reign.
Oh and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull comes out today on DvD. Shame on you Steven Spielberg and you George Lucas. Shame on you for destroying one of the most beloved film heroes in American cinema, dare I say the world.
You Lucas already crushed every heart of Star Wars Fans in the US (I'm sure they loved them in France) with your trashy episodes 1-3, yuck!
It's time Mr. Spielberg you stick to the topics you understand at your respectable elderly age. I'm not bitter, just so very hurt by what you did to Indy. Dr. Jones deserved a better send off. Not that the ending of his last flick (in 1989) wasn't perfect, literally riding off into the sunset.
To take off the heat from them, The Incredible Hulk comes out (on DvD) next Tuesday! The mean green is no Indiana Jones, but may act as the "spoon full of sugar" to make the feces go down somewhat smoothly.
Swallow slowly. Taste it all.
Ah, just another day...
