First date of the year: Gulliver’s Travels Movie. Buyah! Great fun; super message. The kind of film that inspired me as a kid to set my sites on big things.

At tonight's New York City screening of A Christmas Snow people stuck around talking until the guard shut us down. Nico Boccio, who's been an actor for decades, said he thinks it's going to be a sleeper. He said, "Give it five years or so and it's going to be another It's a Wonderful Life."...
