Saving the World Before Bedtime

Watched The Powerpuff Girls movie (after getting a long delayed haircut) and as I expected, it was cool. Shorter than I expected but cool. The Dexter's Lab cartoon "first act" was very Bill Wray in terms of animation, almost a departure from past (and current) DL cartoons. ANYway, the movie's not really there to impart social lessons to kids. It's more for the devoted fans, like yours truly (hope that doesn't come off as kinda gay). When I entered the cinemahouse it was full of parents and kids. I worried about these parents that equate PPG (and Cartoon Network in general) as to "safe kid viewing." Then again I may be underestimating a kid's intelligence when it comes to being able to tell that the PPG's beating up of malevolent super-monkeys bent on world conquest doesn't mean that violence solves anything.

In the end, it's all make-believe. The Parental Guidance kind, mind you, but make-believe all the same.

And to end on a stupid note: I tripped badly while getting off the jeepney on the commute home. Left knee now a freaking mess. Ma doesn't think x-ray is necessary. Easy for her to say.
