Well, we’re certainly disappointed. We thought there was a film out this weekend called How To Dragon Your Train.
But was there? Was there balls. We thought we’d be in for two hours of handy instructions about how to turn a regular passenger locomotive into an actual dragon, maybe by attaching a set of canvas wings to it and strapping a flame-thrower to the front or something. But no. Instead we got How To Train Your Dragon, a cartoon about a boy with a pet dragon. Who’d want to watch that?
And we weren’t the only ones to be fooled, either. How To Train Your Dragon is the number one movie at the weekend box office – a fact that we can only attribute to the high demand for instructional documentaries about transforming rail-based transportation systems into mythical fire-breathing creatures.
