The other day Bernadette and I were at home watching television when the trailer for The Cat in the Hat came on. "I think I want to see that," I said. "I don't," she said. "Why not?" I asked, confused as to why someone wouldn't want to watch a beloved Dr. Seuss classic come to life on screen. "Because," Bernadette began, "I just feel that the movie would ruin it. I mean, I don't see The Cat talking like an old Jewish person. I don't like Mike Meyers in this role." I really couldn't argue with that. I don't think The Cat should sound like an old Jewish person either. God knows what Mike's reasons for playing the part that way were. Oy!
