ELF

Today's entry is kind of random because it has to do with the movie Elf. As you know, Elf is a Christmas movie, and typically most people put away the holiday movies until that holiday comes around the next year, but not me. I tend to watch Christmas movies all year round, particularly when I am feeling stressed or down. Well, finals are coming up and thus I decided I would watch a happy feel good movie which just so happens to be Elf. When I was watching it, I noticed that Buddy's dad, Walter Hobbs, in the movie is in charge of a children's book company. I think that would be a really fun job and would certainly bring out my creative side. Walt Hobbs seemed to have a different idea about the job. It was interesting to see how little he cared about whether or not the books he signed off on actually made sense. This could be the reason why he was on the naughty list ;) It made me wonder if people really would take kids to be so naive as to not notice when a book is missing 3 whole pages. I am sure that when I was a kid I would have noticed. Kids are not as naive about things as they once were and should not be taken as if they were. I don't really know why I decided to write this but it just seemed relevant...
