the red balloon

Democratic National Convention is on, so work is hectic at the moment.

A Sunday matinee is coming up at the Astor which I'd like to see - The Red Balloon (1956) and the Flight of the Red Balloon (2007). It's showing at 2pm on Sunday 7 September if anyone else is interested.

I would be if I were in Melbourne :(
Have you see either of the films? I'm not enthused by the prospect of the later film, but the original Red Balloon is one of the classics of cinema.

I remember the original film very fondly from my childhood. I had a picture book of it as well.

Figured I'd give the new movie a go.

Yes. Obviously an issue of VITAL importance to Australian politics.

I hope you will live equal time to the GOP.

Sorry, I am all full of snark. I just saw Colin "Barney" Barnett's retirement speech electoral pitch on the ABC and I frew up in my mouf. And I thought Howard was populist.

If I didn't already have a commitment on Sunday afternoon I would be up for it. Sorry!
