Every year around this time Jon and I modify the titles of the Oscar nominated pictures. If someone were to make a movie of our lives right now, they might choose one of these titles.
Some of this year's nominees really don't need renaming:
The Artist (we have a preschool one in residence)
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (obviously)
Some titles need only a word change and some punctuation:
Our Descendents?!
Please, Help!
A few require a bit more massaging:
War House (or Star Wars House, but that may be pushing it)
Midnight in Denver - Again
More radical transformations for the rest:
Hugo? You Go! An Ode to Preschool Humour
Body Ball (this is what Isaac calls our golf balls that feature Sponge Bob Square Pants. No, we do not golf. No, we do not watch this show. But yes, I have a good reason for owning them.)
The Tree of Life was the hardest one. Jon came up with Stick of Strife to signify Isaac's frequent use of implements to threaten his sister. I looked to the movie's content (a rare and desperate move), combining a recent interest of the kiddos with what I believe the director of this film may have been saying (or not): Dinosaurs Have Feelings, Too
p.s. Does anyone else think Glenn Close in Albert Nobbs looks like Robin Williams in Bicentennial Man? It's a little wierd.
