My review of The Cat in the Hat

I wanted to know if my hatred of it was justified and it was $2. And now, a review in one picture-

Took me a second to realize what that was, I thought it was some kind of paperweight or freakish starfish at first.

I approve. But note that I haven't seen the movie nor do I want to.

I've got another picture that makes it clearer but Photobucket only lets you use so much bandwidth a month. Admitted, I'm probably nowhere close, but I figured that one picture is clear enough as-is. :)

same here. i actually thought for a bit that it was some kind of vomit bag. it probably would've been more clear if you turned it the other way, label out. either way, it's funny.

The other shot has it that way, but I really like the way the plastic bubbled and the light refracts. Not so clear but really nifty to look at.

Ah, what the hell. Here it is-

How did you do that? It's very impressive.

Took a thin, long-necked glass bottle, in this case an empty vinegar one, put in a bit of water just in case things got ugly, and balanced the DVD right on top. Then I chucked it in the microwave for a bit, keeping an eye on it and enjoying both the slow bending of the disk, the little flashes of light under the plastic as the microwaves bounced off, and the bubbling. When it was sagging to the point of almost touching the bottle (nice long, thin neck, so it could sag a good way) I popped it out and tossed it in a dish of water.

It sounds more planned-out than it was, I just grabbed what was handy and got to it. Never has a DVD deserved it more.

I like it.

That DVD is almost as freakish as Mike Meyers as The Cat in the Hat....

unfortunately those of us with kids cant do the same thing to our copies of this monstrosity to cinema
