What do you think of my latest portrait? Charming, eh?

I stumbled across a site based upon a moving that will be coming out this week.  The movie, Coraline, is an animation for children. Supposedly.  I’m not sure if I would take my wee ones to see it.

Our youngest son, Tyler, historically has had nightmares from scary movies and has climbed into bed with us in the middle of the night to be calmed and soothed.  He might be old enough now to see scary movies.  Maybe.  I’ll have to check with his wife . . .

This fairy tale frightmare is directed by the same fellow who did The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach.  It is about a little girl who discovers an alternate version of her world.  Parents might not want to take their small children to it because of the scary factor — plus fact that the safety and security of “home” and “parental love” are turned upside down and could be confusing to small tots.

On the other hand, there is a site that appealed to my macabre side.  On this site, you can take a picture of yourself and add button eyes.  (Hence my new portrait.)  There are myriad styles of buttons and picture frames to choose from.  You can download, print, or e-mail your picture.  Even send them to My Space or Facebook.  Folks have even uploaded some to Flickr.

Might be a movie to see on Friday the 13th coming up in March . . .
