Tomorrow after school, I’m going to take 8 thirteen-year-old boys to see ‘The Avengers’ in 3-D and pray that I don’t puke. I don’t know whether it’s my advancing age or advances in film technology but movies in 3-D are starting to make me dizzy and bother my stomach; ‘Green Lantern’ came closest so far to making me hurl.
I could, of course, just drop the kids off at the theater but, to be honest (and I do try to be honest with you), I really want to see it. I confess that I used to read ‘The Avengers’ comic books as a kid and learned a lot about life in those pages.
About the sympathy of physicians…
About the joys of marriage…
About respect for democracy and elected representatives…
I don’t know what lasting life lessons these 8 kids are going to get from this picture, but I’m going to be taking notes.
