Munch of the Penguin
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008I recently rented March of the Penguins, that big cuddly sleeper of 2005, to understand what all the fuss was about, but I still don’t understand what all the fuss was about. It was good, but it didn’t move me like Winged Migration, which was exceptional. (Man, those French have totally cornered the market on quality bird flicks!) Perhaps it’s unfair to pit the waddlers against the flyers. Perhaps it was more beautiful on the big screen. Perhaps if it had emerged when I was ten and in the mental throes of a penguin obsession…
Anyhoo, to drum up some penguin mania in advance of this documentary screening (since we’re almost three years behind the curve here), we staged a stuffed penguin death match with the dogs, or as Scott has dubbed it, Munch of the Penguin. Enjoy!
