I’m writing this at my office because my parents are arriving today and I suspect I won’t have much time to blog later. We just sent off a 50-page operational protocol to the feds, so I don’t think anyone will mind if I technically violate the Department’s prohibition on using our computers for personal use. It’s not like there are many people around to even notice. I kind of enjoy these times when work is relatively deserted before a holiday. It gives me time to do little things like clean up all the papers scattered around the office.
\nBut now I’m looking at all the papers scattered around my office and I really don’t feel like cleaning it up.
\nI’ve previously mentioned the documentary 39 Pounds of Love<\/a> and my instinctively negative reaction <\/a>to its premise, even though I haven’t seen the actual film. Noel Murray of The Onion AV Club picked it as his worst film of the year<\/a>. Ouch. He wrote:
\nBut when soft-soap feel-good tripe like this makes the short list for the Academy Awards’ Best Documentary category while great films like Grizzly Man<\/em>, Double Dare<\/em>, Reel Paradise<\/em>, and the all-but-unknown Sheriff <\/em>get overlooked, it’s time to get a little cranky.<\/strong>
\nI’m actually happy to see the film receive criticism like this. Maybe future filmmakers will think twice before making a maudlin film about a man with a disability as a surefire road to critical acclaim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
