Trevor: Anges, Jungle Book

Pizza: Ange's carryout.

No pictures because I forgot, but today's Ange's order was noteworthy because of two things: It was Lauren's first pizza night as a vegetarian, and because they heard my order wrong and I got a half pineapple and green pepper and half only-bacon pizza. Only bacon is a sub-optimal topping combination, btw. Not recommended.

Movie: Jungle Book (2016)

It was a nice evening so the Longs loaded up VANessa and went down to the South High Drive-In, which is still very much alive and well (even if they have the most 1998 of web pages). It had been years since we had gone, but I'm glad we did. Thanks to cousin Jimmy Mac and his better half Jennifer for the hookup. The movie itself was very well done. The animation was some of the most lifelike I'd ever seen. The only part that fell flat was King Louie (Christopher Walken). That felt a little forced. Everything else was thumbs up.

Pizza: Ange's Calzones
One with sausage onion and green pepper, one with plain cheese and half black olive.
P: "Trevor, how did you like the pizza foldovers? "
T: "Terrible. The cheese was weird. Never get it again."
P: "Do like Ange's regular pizza? This is the exact same ingredients!"
T: "Yes. Can we just get that next time?"
P: "Fine."
Lauren kind of felt the same way, but at least she ate it. Beth and I thought it was delicious. Oh well, can't win 'em all.

Movie: Inside Out
Everyone loved it. We'd seen it once before, but it had been a while. For a mainstream animated feature, there is an unusual amount of depth here. Who would have thought a Pixar movie about childhood depression and possible mental illness would make for good popcorn fare? I don't know, but they kinda nailed it. Eight thumbs up.

If you've already seen the movie, and want to go a little further down this rabbit hole, check this out. An American film student re-cut the movie only showing the scenes of Riley in the real world. It's kinda jumpy, but somehow a little darker. It's not quite the existential genius that is Garfield minus Garfield, but ta-da, it happened, and HERE'S A LINK.
