Wow, what a stinker

[rowanf]

My imagination was insufficient to imagine how bad a movie National Treasure: Book of Secrets could be. I wasn't expecting much... but wow. mr_kurt opined the writer's strike must have started early. They took all the worst parts of the first movie and magnified them. The plot holes are enormous, the action unbelievable and what's up with the ancient cities all using oil channels that people with torches/flares can come and illuminate the treasure with. That hasn't evaporated or dried to sludge in 300 years or anything. *shakes head* Wow. Please, don't bother. The first movie was a bit of a romp and I was willing to give them a second chance. Bad idea.

OTOH, it was a fairly warm night and I got to ride Big Eli, the ferris wheel, one last time. Tomorrow is the last day of the Winter Wonderland. If it isn't awful perhaps I will ride again. Ferris wheels make me very happy. My whole self goes "Wheeeeeee!" I do realize that sounds daft. Nevertheless, wheeeeeee!!!!

I'm pretty sure you all visited the Eye in London, 135 meters above the city. Is that the one you remember?

No, the eye is on a scale so big it really isn't a ferris wheel. This was one that was really a ferris wheel - seats they strap you in, but really tall. R&I were trying to figure out where it was and we really don't remember. We ride ferris wheels where we find them. Russell thinks it might have been in Tivoli Gardens but I'm sure it wasn't.
