The CBC will be showing "By the Pricking of my Thumbs" tonight. I gather it isn't worth trying to flip back and forth between it and the Academy awards then....... The Oscars it is then!!!

I watched the first installment of "The Moving Finger" and I must admit, I didn't think it was that bad. I reserve judgment until I've seen the 2nd part, though!

I actually liked this one. They didn't alter the story much and I liked the individual characters. The Burton sister's makeup was a bit heavy-handed, but I liked the storyline much better than others...
