Bland Before Time
not that this one is going to be hugely inspired. i can just feel it diminishing as i write. i did call the car insurance people and they didn't cancel my policy yet. i have until tomorrow to submit a payment. tomorrow being thursday i feel safe enough setting up a payment with them as it won't go through for a day. will it? anyway that's my plan.
however, i'm still stuck thinking about the lack of cinematic creativity that is the land before time series. perhaps you have been spared this monstrosity. perhaps you thought that after they found the great valley that they were left bloody well alone.
well, they weren't. no, littlefoot & friends were continuously flogged. they might have seemed a veritable cash cow at the time but i wonder if you have heard of all of these wonderful titles?

even though i was irritated by the titles i was seeing, i truly had no idea how far things had fallen until i looked. i think that it's horrid that they continue to produce this schlock. not to mention they took away the one educational bit it did offer which is of course learning roman numerals.
criminy.
[this little diatribe on the land before time must be inspired by stress... that's the best that i can figure]
