Anyone seen a good movie lately?

[Rome]

Was going to see Cowboys & Aliens with the kid this morning but I got shot down.  She has piano practice and she [snotty pre-teen]CAN'T MISS IT, DAD![/snotty pre-teen]

[Diomedes]

Sounds like a smart kid. 

Piano>>>motion picture confection

[Rome]

It's bourgeois shtein but it makes her mother happy, so...

Learning music is NOT bourgeois. 

Most important things a child can learn:  2nd language.  Music.  Math.

You learn those, the brain has been equipped to figured out all the rest.

its amazing how MA has made being intelligent and rounded a negative

while I agree, I cannot avoid snorting at this from the guy who thinks movies have rightfully replaced literature in the pantheon of great fiction

no i dont....i just like them better...well better than literary fiction anyway....nothing better than a good non fiction book tho

[Rome]

Don't get me wrong.  I'm proud that she's learning to play a musical instrument.  The quicker she figures out that music isn't just for snobby rich people like the instructor she has, the better.

She loves the music we love, which is very encouraging.
