Tis the time to evaluate life, consider objectives and directions. I don't wait for an arbitrary officially condoned calendar date to do that. For me this period starts at back to school time, that arbitrary officially condoned date set by some old school board some century ago.

I didn't have a problem with what they left out of the book. I think they handled some things better in the movie, conveying some points much more clearly than in the book.
That said, I found the movie very dark, very brooding, and feeling 2 hours longer than it was. The pace was slow and dragging. Dark murkiness with spots of not so dark somewhat funny. Not belly laughing funny but quiet chuckle funny.

Most of the week I thought I would be starting a Heaven and Earth Design charted work from James Christensen. I thought it would be either
