Hi all The biggest release this week is the adult female comedy Like a Boss, which is appealing more to the masses than the critics. That's followed by two very different movies, first is a new non-American animated treat for the little kiddies, called Mosley, and then we have the multi-award-winning local film Poppie Nongena, which should prove popular for the target market. Then we have the very well-rated crime drama Dark Waters, which is on the commercial rather than art circuit, but may be a niche sell due to the subject matter. Also opening this week is an adaptation of the Henry James novel The Turn of the Screw, but somehow the vision and the production didn't quite gell and the results have failed to impress either the critics or the public. On the art circuit, we have the World War II conscientious objector drama A Hidden Life, which has been generally well received overseas. And yes, there are previews... for two different markets. Firstly in the run-up to the Oscars, you can grab three of the nominations before their official release, namely Little Women, Richard Jewell, and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Then for the OTHER market, we have premiers on Wednesday and Thursday, depending on venue, for the upcoming Harley Quinn film Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn. There's quite a bit of buzz around this superhero film.

Times New Roman and Arial walk into a bar. The barman says “Sorry, we don’t serve your type here”. A friend’s son was baptised Comic Sans. The vicar used the wrong font. What did one font say to the other on the beach? “Serif’s up!” I was going to insult someone using paragraph formatting tools. It would have been entirely justified. My problem with Comic Sans is that it’s just not my type. What is a typographer’s favourite chocolate? M & Ms. In which font are horoscopes written? Futura. I would make a font joke but I’m not bold enough. I was asked for advice on a font for a launch campaign. I suggested Trebuchet. [I really don't get that one -- Ed.] I’m not overweight, I’m in bold. A font meets a friend in Rome and asks “are you a Roman too?” “No, but I am an Italic…” There is nothing wrong with the tower in Pisa. It was just built in italics. There was a lot of trouble in the Wild West fonts as they were Sans Sheriff. I keep seeing jokes written on the beach. Think it’s the Comic Sands. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I was stepping into the shower after an afternoon of yard work, my wife walked into the bathroom. “What do you think the neighbors would say if I cut the grass dressed like this?” I asked. Giving me a casual glance, she replied, “They’d say I married you for your money.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Like all parents, my husband and I just do the best we can, and hold our breath and hope we’ve set aside enough money for our kids’ therapy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A man tells his doctor that he’s incapable of doing all the things around the house that he used to do. When the examination is over, he says, “Okay, Doctor. In plain English—what’s wrong with me?” “Well, in plain English,” says the doctor, “you’re just lazy.” The man nods. “Now give me the medical term so I can tell my wife.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- When a woman in my office became engaged, a colleague offered her some advice. “The first ten years are the hardest,” she said. “How long have you been married?” I asked. “Ten years,” she replied. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I stripped off my sweatshirt at the breakfast table one warm morning, my T-shirt started to come off too. My husband let out a low whistle. I took it as a compliment until he said, from behind his newspaper, “Can you believe the price of bananas?” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What to engrave on the inside of my husband-to-be’s wedding ring? I turned to my sister and said, “I want something that has meaning and will remind him of me.” Her suggestion? “Put it back on.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- One evening my daughter, Shayna, wondered: “What would happen if Daddy died? Would you get married again?” “I don’t think so, honey,” I replied. “It’s hard to imagine loving anyone as much as I love Daddy.” “What about Daddy?” my son Isaac asked. “Would he get married again?” “Well, of course!” Shayna blurted. “He’d need someone to do the laundry.”
