Yours portly is taking the day off from blogging. I’m enjoying time with my girl (the human one, not Murphy; Murphy is enjoying time with my neighbors).
I was hoping to run Ponty’s response to my masterpiece review of Donnie Darko (2001) today. You’ll hear from Ponty on a different topic later this week, but I can only assume his extended tardiness in sending along a detailed critique is a tacit indication that he has come around to my viewpoint. Indeed, readers will readily agree that the only reasonable reason he hasn’t sent his review—surely it’s not due to busyness, or illness, or spending time with Tina—is that dear Ponty has realized I was right all along, and there’s no point in challenging me further on the issue.
So with that note of brotherly reconciliation and rhetorical dominance, I bid everyone a wonderful Monday. I’ll be enjoying a relaxing day with my girl, basking in the knowledge that I’ve once again swayed public opinion about twenty-plus-year-old movies in a positive direction.
Cheers!

Your lack of subtlety – okay, I’ll say it, outright goading – will not make me rush through the review any quicker. 🙂
To be honest, I don’t know why that one review is causing me problems. They haven’t bothered me in the past, only taking 10-15 minutes to knock together but there’s something about this particular film that has me scratching my head, much to the point that I find myself writing several different things from several viewpoints. It’s infuriating!
I should probably scrap what I’ve written and start again. That might bring the focus back and I’ll be able to send it over midweek.
In the meantime, enjoy the hours with your better half and prepare yourself to be contradicted next Monday! 🙂
