  For those that don’t get it…

  Movie poster for Beethoven, a film about an adopted dog that turns the previously quiet family home upside down.

    Oh my, some people are too young to have known this movie 😐

      I watched this with my kids the other day just to share some of my childhood memories with them.

      I sure was surprised to learn the plot of the movie was that some bad guys had developed a new type of bullet and needed to test it out on the thick skulls of live animals. They try to kidnap Beethoven so that they can shoot him in the head. In order to accomplish this, they abuse the dog until it attacks one of them and then cover themselves in fake blood so the family is forced to agree to have the dog put down.

      Somehow childhood me had blocked all of this out and just remembered “haha funny big dog”.

  Me, crying and running into my room.

  If “A Major” in the title was intentional, then bravo!

  Honestly I’d be exited to be able to meet the composer anyway, and maybe give him a pat on the head.

  Wasn’t Beethoven deaf ?

    Not completely, not at first. If he cupped his hands or used a horn he could hear people talking. But towards the end of his life he would play the piano while resting his head against it. It’s kind of sad, really.
