I forgot to mention that during the WIPCE conference, I took my elder two to watch the highly anticipated second movie in the Wicked series. I had already (spoiler alert) predicted that the Wizard was Elphaba's father (the writer in me), which my children didn't agree with initially.
Having watched the movie in the city movie theatre, complete with reclining chairs, it was a let-down for me. I missed the amazing songs from the first movie, and I found there were 'too many moving parts', i.e., lots of subplots that took away from the simplicity of the first movie.
I did, however, read that in its first week, it was still a box office hit in the States with many anticipating fans wanting to see whether the second movie would live up to the hype of the first movie. I didn't think so but many others might disagree with me.
Instead, I'm now looking forward to watching the eagerly anticipated third movie to in the Avatar series. I'm really interested in how the storyline will develop as the family moves to another space/place. I'm finding more time to do the things that I enjoy now that the holiday season is just around the corner...
