Small Ambition

In the New York Times today, A.O. Scott, one of the resident film critics, has a piece about taking children to the movies. He throws out the suggestion that it is unnecessary to necessarily pursue the kiddie picture just because the child is a child. My parents did this with me, and I think it not only made them happier for not having to sit through shrill irritating fare, it pleased me to be part of something that interested them.

It is much too early to pack Felix off to any sort of picture, but I do appreciate that someone is writing about how "family movies" don't have to be pandering treacly message-filled junk.

Not to reveal my aesthetic sympathies too much.
